In the past, Old Mrs. Xu might have worried about many things, but she never would have worried about a young Zhi Kouching suddenly showing up to ask her quiet, reserved granddaughter to go out.
Ever since Changqing was little, it had always been boys who came looking for her; it would have been truly shocking if a girl had shown up. It was so common that even Old Mrs. Xu often forgot she was a granddaughter, not a grandson.
She had a mind to follow them, but she was afraid her granddaughter would think her a meddlesome old woman. Worse, Changqing might even snap, 'Where were you before? What's there to worry about now?'
Her quiet granddaughter was fine so long as she kept her mouth shut, but the moment she spoke, her words could choke you. Fortunately, Changqing had said she would be back soon, and she returned in less than five minutes.
