Shen Guqing nodded, "During these months, whenever I had some free time, I would go to the valley with the locals to play. Sometimes I'd get lucky and find small pieces of raw stones.
There are people in the village who can cut stones, but everyone knows it's not openly discussed. So, I followed everyone to get the stones I picked cut by that person.
I was quite lucky; although they were small, quite a few were cut. I brought them all back this time."
Mrs. Du poked Shen Guqing's forehead with a bit of reproach, "You say your courage is getting bigger, no wonder your master criticizes you, serves you right."
Shen Guqing pouted, "Master, Mistress, I was wrong, your criticisms are right, I won't be reckless in the future."
Mrs. Du slapped her hand away, "Alright, let's see if you learn your lesson from now on."
After speaking, she added, "The food is hot, go eat first."
Shen Guqing hugged her mistress, "I knew it, Mistress is the best."
At this remark, Mr. Du lightly coughed.
