Wei Ting, carrying two pots of white peonies, ran back home and immediately, with glee, sought out his grandmother and mother to give each of them one pot.
Old Madam Wei and Madam Wei were very pleased. Looking at the flowers before their eyes, they couldn't help but take Wei Ting's hand and praise him, "You really know how to honor us."
When Old Master Wei heard this, he frowned slightly and asked, "Today is neither a break day nor a holiday. Why have you come home?"
Wei Ting stiffened, only then remembering that he had climbed over the wall to get out.
But Wei Ting was accustomed to skipping school and maintained his composure, blatantly lying, "I heard from a classmate that there were pure white peonies outside, and knowing that grandmother and mother like them, I asked for half a day off from school to go out. I will return to school tomorrow to continue my studies."
