CHAPTER 78: CHAPTER 78: TROUBLE MAKERS

Shen Chen slightly lifted his head, noticing that the other was half a head taller than him. The three little girls in front seemed to be taller too, and there was Li Du. After realizing this, a faint sadness arose within him.

Due to his original family background, he developed a withdrawn personality. Even with the influence of the Ye Family later on, his character didn’t change easily. After all, he was just an eight-year-old boy, who forgot about being angry with Ye Zhi in the back mountain, and started to feel silently sad.

He’s short; he needs to eat more in the future...

Housekeeper Tan followed at the back; when the Ye Family invited guests, they also called their group.

But how could they have the nerve to bring so many people? He sent the other four guards off for lunch, and as the one in charge, he couldn’t shirk the responsibility, so he had to brace himself to go.

After all, the young lady and Young Master Ji needed protection~

If anything happened to these two little ancestors, the Tan and Ji families wouldn’t let it go easily.

On the surface, everything seemed calm. As the housekeeper, he was there to escort the two children to the exam, but in fact, he was chosen by the heads of the two families for this important task. Since the departure day, he was afraid of any accidents, but fortunately, Huanhuan and Changzhou were the kind who were easy to care for, and nothing troublesome happened.

Troublesome incidents??

"Wait, stop."

Housekeeper Tan was broad and stout; his voice didn’t match his physique, and when he shouted, it was very powerful.

The group was startled by Housekeeper Tan’s stern expression and stopped in their tracks.

Everyone looked at him with the same puzzled expression: What’s the matter?

With a large belly, Housekeeper Tan strangely walked with agility, step by step reaching Tan Huanhuan’s side: "Young Miss, did you fight with someone at the Imperial College?"

Upon hearing this, there was a "hiss~" as a few people drew in shock.

Tan Huanhuan put on an impeccable act, looking at Housekeeper Tan with clear and bright eyes, speaking frankly: "No, why would Housekeeper Tan ask such a thing?"

Inside she screamed: If Housekeeper Tan found out, she’d be dead for sure! She hasn’t even been in Capital City for a few days and has already made an enemy. Her parents wouldn’t forgive her; they had sternly warned her to be peaceful and loving on this trip...

Housekeeper Tan’s suspicion wasn’t without reason: "Young Master Ji’s face has some obvious marks, and your clothes have quite a few folds."

Upon his words, everyone’s eyes turned to Ji Changzhou’s little face.

There were indeed some red marks, and upon careful inspection, even some bruises~

Ye Zhi’s mother grabbed her young daughter, her expression anxious despite being on the street, asking, "Ah Zhi, did you get into a fight at the Imperial College? What’s going on?" fearing her daughter was bullied.

Tan Huanhuan quickly waved her hand, explaining earnestly to Ye Zhi’s mother: "No, no fighting happened. We had a test in riding, long jumping, and catching small animals this morning. The teachers were testing our ability to act, and it was accidental."

Housekeeper Tan glared sharply at his young master, his eyes clearly showing disbelief.

Ye Zhi released her little buddy’s hand and skippingly ran to her mother, taking her hand and coquettishly said: "It’s true, today’s third challenge was to catch chickens, ducks, and rabbits. Mom, thankfully, Huanhuan and the others helped me. Shen Chen is really good; he managed to catch them without help. Hehe."

Her face looked innocent and harmless.

She paused, then turned to explain to Housekeeper Tan: "Housekeeper Tan, I was always with Huanhuan and the others in the back mountain, nothing happened. Changzhou must have been scratched by a tree, isn’t that right, Changzhou?"

She spoke with confidence and persuasive power, her demeanor self-assured but not arrogant, nine out of ten successes.

Ji Changzhou nodded: "Yes."
