Shen Ningning had been attending the academy for two days.
She had just bid a smiling farewell to her classmates when she stepped outside and saw Chen Ye waiting at the entrance, his expression grim.
The little one's heart sank. She hurried over to him. "Brother Chen, why are you here? Did something happen to Grandma?"
Chen Ye shook his head. "It's not Grandma Qin. It's... Wu Zuchang."
Shen Ningning's large, clear eyes widened. "What's happened to him now?"
Chen Ye found the matter difficult to talk about.
He gave her a rough summary, omitting Ba Deshun's more vulgar remarks, of course.
He only said that Grandma Qin, furious at Wang Qiao'er for spouting nonsense, had gone to confront her.
But the door was locked. Wu Zuchang climbed over the courtyard wall to get help, but he ended up stumbling upon Ba Deshun and Wang Qiao'er's affair. Ba Deshun then made some outrageous claims, which Deng Fugui overheard.
"So Deng Fugui kicked him, and apparently caused some kind of injury."
