Transmigrated as the Treacherous Official's Childhood Sweetheart-Chapter 249: Feeling a Bit Guilty

Ji San silently swore that if the Crown Prince asked him to hit a little girl again, he would just lightly tap them a couple of times.

Having come to this conclusion, the little Hidden Guard hid in the tree, grinning happily.

The Little Traitor knew Ah Zhi wouldn’t come to the study in the afternoon, so he helped her apply for leave, citing dizziness and discomfort.

Huanhuan was never very interested in studying, so she also asked the Teacher for leave and left the Imperial College at noon to return to the Ye Mansion.

As a poor student in Mr. Qin’s eyes, Tan Huanhuan thought applying for leave would be a struggle. She expected as much and asked Xiao Chen to do it for her. Whatever Xiao Chen said, Mr. Qin surprisingly agreed with a smile~

Indeed, Mr. Qin, the new school’s double threat, agreed with a smile...

On the other side, back at the Ye Mansion, Ye Zhi faced her mother’s suspicion: "It was a classmate who accidentally spilled it on me. Didn’t I just come back to change clothes? I got leave to come back."

Didn’t get leave, secretly came back, feeling a bit guilty.

Soaking in the bathtub prepared by Ah Tao and Ming Yan, she felt completely at ease, and that tiny bit of guilt vanished.

By the time Huanhuan returned to the Ye Mansion, Ah Zhi had already finished her bath and was comfortably lying in Qingyi Garden.

For the first time, the two little ones skipped class, feeling excited as they lay on the bed reading storybooks.

One book per person.

One held the top bestseller: "Those Years with the Young Master."

The other was reading the fifth rank: "General’s Red Makeup."

Every now and then, giggles echoed inside the room, a harmonious and delightful atmosphere.

After completing their tasks, Ah Tao and Ming Yan also sat on small stools in the garden for a chat, ready to respond when called by their mistress.

Ah Tao spoke with righteous indignation, clenching her little fist: "Ming Yan, do you think Miss got bullied at the Imperial College? How else would her meal end up on her head and body?"

Her slightly chubby fist pounded the stone table for effect.

The table remained unmoved, clearly indicating her lack of strength.

Ming Yan’s gentle eyes also showed a trace of worry, clearly treating Ye Zhi as the young lady: "I don’t know. When the madam asked the miss, she said it was accidental. Haven’t you been by the miss’s side the longest? What do you think?"

Ah Tao looked around, not answering directly. She had always believed the miss and never doubted her...

She changed the subject: "I definitely believe Miss. Ming Yan, have you ever liked anyone? I noticed you seemed indifferent when you first came to the mansion. You’ve changed a lot recently. Is it true you were heartbroken?"

The truth is, when Ming Yan first arrived at the garden, the miss told Ah Tao that she was heartbroken and asked Ah Tao to treat her well.

How did the conversation turn to relationships?

Nonetheless, upon recalling this, the image of Master Zhi Chen’s tall and elegant figure, well-defined features, and cold demeanor naturally entered Ming Yan’s mind.

She wondered if the master ever thought of her, even a little.

She had many things she wanted to say to the master.

Here, she was doing well. Ah Tao, though younger, always claimed the title of the first maid, tough on the outside, soft on the inside, caring most about the third young lady of the Minister’s Mansion, Ye Zhi.

Lord Minister was a man under strict wife control. He didn’t take concubines, nor did he flirt elsewhere, which made people in the Capital City ridicule him.

But this was the kind of love Ming Yan sought.

The Minister’s Wife appeared fierce on the surface, but she managed the family’s business and the large Ye Mansion efficiently, proving to be a dashing lady.
