Yueyao spoke calmly without turning red or panting, "Visiting the teacher is true, but taking the opportunity to enjoy the scenery isn't bad either."
Xiang Wei couldn't help but roll her eyes. She couldn't stand these scholars, always indirect and never straightforward in whatever they do.
In the evening, Yueyao heard the maid say Ma Peng came over, she was a bit surprised and rushed out to welcome Ma Peng inside.
Ma Peng had a somewhat solemn expression. After seeing Yueyao, he said, "Yueyao, I have something to tell you, let's go to the study!"
Xiang Wei looked suspicious, clearly indicating something was up.
Yueyao also realized Ma Peng had something important, hesitated for a moment, then led Ma Peng into the study. Due to the rainy weather, it was a bit chilly, so they had lit some coal fire in the study. The fire in the copper basin was blazing, making the room very warm.
When they entered the study, Yueyao asked, "Cousin, what's wrong?"
