Old Lady Li carried the food box and headed toward the backyard. Upon stepping outside, she ran into Madam Gu, who was out to round up her two little troublemakers for dinner.
Seeing the food box in Old Lady Li's hand, Madam Gu couldn't help but ask, "Lady Li, where are you heading?"
It was known that although the cook at Scholar Gu's house was a servant, she always appeared amicable but occasionally revealed a disdainful attitude toward the rural nature of the county.
Madam Gu had conversed with Old Lady Li a few times and had repeatedly heard her praise her young master, claiming he was a gifted talent, known for his brilliance at a young age, even famous in the capital city.
Madam Gu had bluntly asked why, if he was so famous in the capital, he bothered coming to Jing County.
