"You've got quite the experience, Xiao Qi," Lian Manman raised an eyebrow and said, "Xiao Qi, be honest, have you ever skipped school?"
"No, no, absolutely not," Xiao Qi was startled and quickly denied it.
After Shen Qian left, Lian Manman and the others continued walking along the street, admiring the lanterns as they headed back.
Lian Manman glanced in the direction where Shen Qian's carriage had disappeared, feeling a bit worried for him. Shen Qian had said that his family allowed him a day out, which seemed true. However, his decision to come to Jinyang County Town was likely not approved by his family. Would he be punished when he returned?
After the worry passed, Lian Manman thought of Shen Qian's composed demeanor when Steward Zhong arrived, and she slowly felt reassured. No matter what, Shen Qian should have a way to handle it.
