"Lady Tong?"
"Lady Tong, what's wrong?"
Tong Pandi was crying sadly when she heard someone calling her.
Tong Pandi looked up and saw Mr. Su standing not far away, holding a few beautiful lanterns in his left hand and a small box in his right.
"Mr. Su."
Tong Pandi wiped her eyes and stood up.
"Mr. Su, are you here to see Jingzhe? He's at home reviewing his lessons."
Gu Jingzhe was going to take the provincial exam in March, and he had been hiding in his room studying for the exam all throughout the first month of the new year.
Tong Pandi thought that since Mr. Su had come, he must be here to see Gu Jingzhe.
Mr. Su asked with concern, "Lady Tong, is someone bullying you?"
Tong Pandi shook her head and explained bashfully, "No, who would dare to bully me at my aunt's house? It's just that I thought of some sad things from the past, so... my apologies for making Mr. Su witness this..."
Mr. Su said, "It's not shameful for people to cry when they think of sad things."
