The four major guardians discussed back and forth and eventually decided that regardless of the situation, they should report to the Princely Heir. Whether good or bad ought to be determined by the Princely Heir; they just needed to fulfill their duty as guardians.
However, when Shi Yi contacted Lao Qi, who always stayed with the Princely Heir, following usual practices to report matters related to Miss Qu, Lao Qi did not immediately convey the message as usual. Instead, he asked what the matter was. If it was important, he would report it; otherwise, the Princely Heir was busy with official duties, and it would be inappropriate to bother him with trivial matters, showing a lack of tact.
Shi Yi vaguely mentioned that Miss Qu went out to meet someone, but did not specify who.
Such matters should have been reported directly to the Princely Heir, otherwise, if Lao Qi and others learned about them, who knows how they would gossip behind the scenes?
