As soon as they stepped into the courtyard, they saw Gu Yunjiao sitting under the veranda.
Seeing the two come in, her face hardened. "You two didn't rest at noon. Where did you go?"
The brothers exchanged a look and said in unison, "We just walked around the garden a bit."
Gu Yunjiao let out a sharp little laugh, her gaze landing on You Er's head. "You two didn't happen to sneak into the water, did you?"
The two of them shook their heads like rattles.
Gu Yunjiao crooked a finger. "Come here."
The two shuffled over slowly.
Gu Yunjiao stood up and with a reach of her hand yanked off You Er's hair ribbon. "You still dare lie to me? The ribbon's soaking wet!"
You Er and Qi Er exchanged a glance. They'd remembered not to get their clothes wet, but they'd completely forgotten about the hair ribbons.
The two stopped talking and obediently knelt down on their own.
