Zhulan thought to herself, with Ran Xun's reckless nature, it was fortunate that she hadn't agreed to Ran Zheng's proposal. Otherwise, once the impetuous affection of youth faded, her granddaughter would have suffered in the future. Even if their feelings were genuine, Ran Xun was not the steady type, and her granddaughter would have had to worry for a lifetime.
Zhulan gestured to Lady Qi to drink some tea. "Ming Teng and his brother are getting too bold as well. Without their curiosity, this incident wouldn't have happened."
But she didn't forgive Ran Xun either. The boy really deserved a beating; he was so young, yet so capable of causing trouble.
Lady Qi could naturally tell, the patriarch had been too angry to sleep last night, even slapping his own face, regretting most of all that he had pleaded with Zhou Shuren on behalf of Ran Xun. She laughed dryly, "These are good as gifts for Ming Teng and Ming Rui; our patriarch asked me to bring these to the two children."
