Seeing that Lu Haoran was fine, the two of them felt relieved. Song Ruyi held Lu Yurou and Xia Yingying took Lu Haojie's hand and they went back together.

Song Ruyi was annoyed that Lu Ziren did not come with her. She had not seen him all day. She was a little angry at Lu Ziren's attitude and could not help but say to Xia Yingying, "Ziren is Haoran's biological father after all. How could he not care about his child?"

"It means that Daddy doesn't care about us at all."

Lu Haojie nodded and echoed Song Ruyi's words.

Although Song Ruyi complained about Lu Ziren, she was not the kind of person who didn't understand reason. When Lu Haoran saw them today, he looked behind them without blinking to see if there was anyone there, obviously waiting for Lu Ziren.

The child has been wronged and suffered a great crime in the past few days. Now he is finally safe. It is normal for him to want his father's comfort. But Lu Ziren is not here at this time. Song Ruyi feels distressed for Lu Haoran.

"Mom, Lu Ziren must have something to do, and that thing is more important than Haoran's. Besides, Haoran is fine now, so it's useless for Lu Ziren to come. Haoran's safety is all due to Lu Ziren. He can't be blamed for not coming today because of an emergency."

"But how can the most important thing be more important than my son?" Song Ruyi said nitpicking.

What Xia Yingying said was true, but her heart couldn't help but lean towards Lu Haoran.

"Do you know what Ziren went to do? Something even more important than my son's?"

Song Ruyi couldn't help but ask curiously.

Lu Ziren's whereabouts are strange, and he has multiple identities. He is like a mysterious creature shrouded in clouds and mist, and it is hard to tell who he knows.

Although Xia Yingying had read the plot of the novel, she did not describe this part in detail.

Xia Yingying could only speculate based on the subsequent plot that Lu Ziren's sudden departure this time was either due to something happening in the military camp, or something happening in the capital, or some other trivial matters. She didn't know what it was specifically.

Song Ruyi was still waiting for an answer. If Xia Yingying didn't give a more convincing reason, Song Ruyi would start nagging again.

As her thoughts flowed, Xia Yingying came up with a brilliant idea.

"I guess some information was conveyed in the military camp, and he is required to do something, and he is required to act secretly. We are the only ones who know about this matter, so we should not tell anyone else. Be careful not to leak the military secrets and then we will have to go to the cell." Xia Yingying lowered her voice, walked beside Song Ruyi, leaned close to Lu Haojie's ear and whispered to them.

Song Ruyi and Lu Haojie were frightened by Xia Yingying's words.

The two looked at each other and nodded quickly, their movements consistent. They both silently covered their mouths, fearing that something that could not be disclosed would accidentally come out.

"Don't worry, mom. I will keep the secret and won't let anyone else know." Lu Haojie moved his little hand that was covering his mouth and spoke to Xia Yingying in a low voice.

Lu Yurou in Song Ruyi's arms had fallen asleep. Lu Yurou was not very heavy, but it was still tiring to hold her for such a long time. Song Ruyi was slightly out of breath as she walked. Seeing this, Xia Yingying took the initiative to let go of Lu Haojie's hand, stretched out her arms, and said to Song Ruyi: "Mom, you are tired of holding me, tell me now, you can take a rest."

"Yeah." Song Ruyi was indeed a little tired. Just now when she was chatting with Lu Haoran, she had been holding him. Now they were halfway through the journey. Although the distance was not far and Song Ruyi was not weak, Lu Yurou's body was full of flesh, white and tender. It was unbearable to just hold her for a long time.

Xia Yingying took Lu Yurou and hugged her tightly in her arms, while Lu Haojie very consciously took Song Ruyi's hand and pinched his fingers and arm.

When Song Ruyi saw Lu Haojie treating her like this, she felt warm in her heart. Although the four children in the family were not Xia Yingying's biological children, she could not say anything about how good each of them was to her.

The family returned to the house quickly. After dinner, Lu Ziren still did not come back, and no one sent a message to say where he was missing.

Because of what Xia Yingying said on the way back, no one in the family was very anxious. Even Xia Yingying didn't feel very anxious until she went to bed at night, when she realized something was wrong.

Since Lu Ziren came back, he would take the initiative to tell Xia Yingying when he went out at night or did something, but this time he didn't tell Xia Yingying, and Xia Yingying couldn't help but feel a little worried.

They are now just grasshoppers in the same bed. If anything happens to Lu Ziren, she won't have an easy life either.

Feeling somewhat uneasy and anxious, Xia Yingying quickly washed up. She originally wanted to wait for Lu Ziren, but she didn't want to wait anymore after thinking about the misunderstanding last time.

Lu Ziren will be back soon.

If she was caught by Lu Ziren again, who knows how he would laugh at her. She didn't want to do such a thing.

Xia Yingying quickly blew out the light and covered her head with the quilt so that she could fall asleep quickly. However, she was worried about something and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't fall asleep. In the second half of the night, she was so sleepy that she fell into a daze, with her head half awake and half confused.

Without Lu Ziren sleeping next to her, Xia Yingying woke up several times in the middle of the night due to the cold. It was not until dawn that Song Ruyi prepared breakfast and woke her up.

Xia Yingying rubbed her eyes hazily. The first thing she did was look outside the bed. There was no sign of movement. Lu Ziren did not come back last night.

Xia Yingying had breakfast and rested for a while. After lunch, the family went to watch the game.

Because a few days before the competition, there was news that Lu Ziren cheated, and the note that was found, although it was not found on Lu Haoran, but the questions on the note were obviously leaked by someone. This shows that there are people with bad intentions lurking in the private school.

Because this is a written test to test the basics. It is not very formal. The competition between the two is a debate, and the test is about reading and knowledge.

For the fairness of the competition, other teachers should be invited. Besides, the two people taking the written test are the teachers of the person who set the questions, so this would be an unfair record for both parties.

No one in the town could take on such a big task. Just when everyone thought that the competition would be over and would continue next time, as luck would have it, Tang Qingye and Yu Bixin's teacher, Mr. Hua, came to Qingshui Town to exchange skills with Tang Qingye. Now there was someone to set the questions.

Mr. Hua is a famous contemporary scholar in Daliang. He has produced numerous high-ranking officials and nobles under his command, and he is also the mentor of the late emperor. His family has also produced several generations of writers who have a high status and are very famous in Daliang.

Although he came to Qingshui Town very low-key, his appearance in Qingshui Town shocked Tang Qingye, Yu Bixin, the students in the private school, and all the town officials.

The mayor had prepared gifts and was preparing to welcome Mr. Hua with a bang. But before he started, he was stopped by Tang Qingye.

"The teacher doesn't like this kind of formalism. Just treat him as an ordinary old man. Once you give away these gifts, you may lose your official position." Tang Qingye said to the mayor half-jokingly.

The mayor's voice trembled when he heard Tang Qingye's words, and he took back the gift in fear.

Xia Yingying didn't understand who the white-haired old man who appeared on the scene was?

Xia Yingying had no choice but to pay attention to him. As soon as he appeared, the atmosphere on the scene changed.
