The butler Qin opened the door and directly posed that question, leaving Lin Sunzhu startled.
She simply couldn't comprehend why the butler Qin would ask such a question.
"Butler Qin, that... does Qin Lanting have some kind of health issue?"
Butler Qin continued to press: "I'm asking you, Teacher Lin, did she... cry in front of you?"
Clearly, this was the matter of utmost concern to butler Qin right now.
"No, she didn't."
Hearing Lin Sunzhu's response, butler Qin further inquired, "Teacher Lin, are you certain?"
"Yes, I'm certain, she really did not cry."
"All right then." Hearing this, butler Qin said, "This afternoon, I'll have to trouble you again, Teacher Lin. Please continue to teach the seven children well."
At that moment, Lin Sunzhu truly had a multitude of questions she wanted to ask butler Qin, but obviously... butler Qin would not answer her. Moreover, asking would only serve to make him more averse to her.
