Bab 297: Guilty Xu Yi

Rong Qi said, "It's okay, Mrs. Hong. I'll have Xu Yi take me to class. I'll give him a call and ask him to come over."

Xu Yi used to arrive on time to report to Rong Qi, but today he hadn't shown up. She thought something must have delayed him.

However, there was a troubled expression on Mrs. Hong's face. She said, "Madam, Xu Yi has been kneeling in the courtyard since yesterday, begging for forgiveness. Master Shen hasn't allowed him to stand up."

Rong Qi frowned and said, "What's that got to do with Xu Yi? I'll go find him."

Setting down her backpack, Rong Qi was about to turn and head to the study upstairs. But just as she turned, Ye Nanshen came down from upstairs.

"He...," Rong Qi said.

"He made a mistake, and punishment is only right. I'll give you a ride today," said Ye Nanshen. He stepped forward, picked up Rong Qi's backpack, and held her hand as they walked outside. "I'll have Zhuang Ling protect you for the next couple of days."
