Ah Wang explained, "She teaches me how to braid hair, and I teach her basic reading and writing."
He added, "Si Niang goes to school with braids now, haven't you noticed, madam?"
Qin Yao was taken aback, "Isn't it Mrs. Li who helps her braid?"
Mrs. Li, busy in the kitchen, was suddenly mentioned and quickly stuck her head out to explain, "Madam, these past few days it's been Steward Ah Wang braiding the Fourth Miss's hair."
Qin Yao took a deep breath; indeed, the braids were just average.
Ah Wang said, "Kids also judge people by their appearance. Children who dress well and look more refined are less likely to be bullied."
Qin Yao blatantly supported Song Zhang, the County Magistrate, although the Ding Family wouldn't openly oppose him; they wouldn't miss a chance to cause trouble at school.
Qin Yao's face darkened, but rather than anger, she appeared unusually puzzled.
