Zheng Hui nodded repeatedly and told the little girl behind her to prepare pen and ink for Li Yan.
Li Yan had no time to stop her, and the little girl immediately left after receiving the order. Shaking her head helplessly, Li Yan continued to eat.
While eating the delicious food in front of her, Li Yan asked curiously, "Miss Zheng, since you followed your father here, why don't you go out and take a look at the scenery of Rongcheng!"
Zheng Hui was somewhat helpless: "My father won't let me go out these days. He says it's too dangerous for a girl like me to wander around outside!"
"Then you can also invite some of your father's colleagues' daughters to your home!"
At this time, Zheng Hui was in a low mood. She was fiddling with the food in front of her with the chopsticks in her hand, looking a little absent-minded.
Seeing her like this, Li Yan did not continue to explore and concentrated on eating the delicious food in front of her.
The life of the privileged class is better than that of ordinary people. Li Yan ate a table full of delicious food with great satisfaction. Eating is the most important thing in the world. At this time, Li Yan was eating without distraction!
Zheng Hui saw that the girl in front of her was completely focused on the food, and she couldn't help but relax. She said unconsciously: "My father was exiled here from the capital. Because my younger brother is sick, he had to let me come here with him first!"
Seeing Li Yan looking at her in confusion after putting down her chopsticks, Zheng Hui continued to explain, "Father has to start his overseas assignment on a specific date, so Mother has to wait until my younger brother recovers before she can start her journey."
Li Yan nodded and asked in confusion: "Are you missing your mother? Or are you worried about your younger brother?"
Zheng Hui thought for a moment and murmured, "I have both. I wonder where Mother and the others have gone? Has my younger brother fully recovered?"
As they were talking, an old lady came in hurriedly from outside. She might have walked too fast and her hair was crooked, but she didn't care.
He rushed into the room without caring about etiquette and said happily to Zheng Hui: "Miss, the Madam has already arrived in the capital. She will be here in two days."
Zheng Hui's depressed mood was swept away when she heard the old lady say this. She stood up from her seat, grabbed the old lady's hand and asked, "Where did you hear that?"
"I was just outside the master's study when the servant came out and told me. As soon as I heard the news, I immediately came to report it to the young lady."
After hearing her say this, Zheng Hui was convinced of the credibility of the news and her mood couldn't help but relax.
Seeing her like this, Li Yan didn't plan to stay any longer: "Miss Zheng, go and do what you need to do first. I will send the story over as soon as possible!"
At this moment, Zheng Hui wanted to go find her father and apologize: "I'm really sorry for today. I'll invite you to come over another day."
He then instructed the maid behind him: "Pack up today's food, and pack a few plates of snacks for Miss Li to take back." Finally, he did not forget to instruct the maid to prepare paper wrap.
After giving instructions, Zheng Hui left in a hurry, and Li Yan left the county magistrate's house carrying a bunch of things.
Afraid that Li Erlang would worry about her, Li Yan planned to go to the bookstore first.
When she reached the entrance of an alley, Li Yan seemed to see her uncle Liu Zhong. The handsome scholar was hugging a pregnant woman and walking into the alley.
Li Yan was stunned. The woman who was just in her uncle's arms around her waist was obviously not her aunt.
In order to prove that she was not seeing things, Li Yan hurriedly chased after him into the alley.
Unfortunately, the person disappeared when he was chased into the alley.
Li Yan had no choice but to leave the alley first and go find Li Erlang with the things.
At this time, Li Erlang was writing furiously in the room provided by the bookstore. He was also feeling aggrieved, wondering how his daughter was doing in the county magistrate's residence and whether she was being bullied.
The more I thought about it, the more confused I became, and accidentally dropped a large drop of ink on the white paper. Fortunately, this piece of paper had not been copied yet, otherwise all the work I had just copied would have been wasted.
Just when Li Erlang was daydreaming.
There was a knock on the door of the room, so Li Erlang simply stopped copying, got up and opened the door.
When he opened the door, he saw the little servant leading his daughter standing outside.
