"By the way, why did you take so long to come back? There's still some food left for you in the pot; I'll go get it for you," Mrs. Jiang said, about to head out into the rain.
Gu Nian quickly stopped her, "Mom, don't bother, I've already eaten."
"You've already eaten?" Mrs. Jiang looked at Gu Nian in shock, "You were at..."
She hesitated halfway through, perhaps realizing her thoughts were a bit far-fetched.
Gu Nian confirmed her suspicions, "I ate at Young Master Nan's place. Also, Young Master Nan promised to teach me to read, so I might go there often."
Watching Gu Nian's cheerful figure, Mrs. Jiang felt something was off.
So, she told Lin Sanshui about it.
Lin Sanshui laughed helplessly, "You're overthinking it. What sort of person is Young Master Nan? Clearly, he's not someone like us. Plus, Niannian is just a kid. What could someone want from a child?"
