Ming Rui looked at the two people head-to-head, not knowing what they were saying, "Mm."
Ning Zhao felt somewhat envious; he had no friends. As the eldest grandson and due to the unique situation of the Duke Residence, everyone he knew was a relative. Yet, he was not close to his cousins, who were overly eager to please him.
For Ming Rui, Ning Zhao was an ambitious and good child. He pulled Ning Zhao to the side, "You better not get involved, those two together are nothing but trouble."
Ning Zhao uttered an "Oh," and sat down sulkily, staring at the book and silently reciting in his mind that he was the eldest grandson and he had responsibilities. The envy in his eyes disappeared as he opened the book to review his lessons.
In Jingnan's estate, Zhulan got off the carriage and, looking at the distant fields and orchards, felt relaxed, "Shall we take a walk around?"
Zhou Shuren, with his hands clasped behind his back, replied cheerfully, "Sure."
