After transmigrating, I became a stepmother.

Liu Dan raised her chin and glanced at them lightly: "Hmph, I'll be waiting for you to beg me!"

Lin Hao and Fu Cui exchanged a glance, not understanding where she got this idea from.

Seeing that they didn't understand, Liu Dan kindly reminded them, "I just came from the study in the front yard!"

The two then realized that she had been waiting for them there!

Fu Cui knew Lin Hao was waiting for news, so she coaxed, "Okay, okay, I was wrong. I shouldn't have teased you. Tell me quickly, what did you find out?"

Now Liu Dan was quite smug, raising an eyebrow: "Now you know to beg me, huh! I'll be magnanimous and tell you!"

Lin Hao sat there, gazing longingly at Liu Dan, while Fu Cui also looked on with anticipation.

Then Liu Dan said, "Let me explain slowly! Originally, I couldn't see Mr. Xu's expression, but since the sun was shining brightly today, I asked the servant to open the study window a crack to let in some air. And I, standing on the veranda, could see it!"

At this point, she felt incredibly clever! Originally, the lady had only asked her to inquire, but now that she had seen it directly, wasn't that much more reliable?

A pair of eyes blinked, looking at the two listeners.

The two listeners lived up to her expectations, giving her a thumbs up: "Amazing!"

Having received a satisfactory answer, Liu Dan's smile widened even further.

Seeing her like that, Fu Cui glanced at her and said, "Don't be so smug, hurry up and continue!"

Liu Dan realized, "Oh, right."

"Then I waited for the young master to hand over his diary, but Mr. Xu started testing the young master's homework as soon as he came up. I waited for a long time, and my legs were sore from standing, before I saw the young master take out his diary."

Lin Hao nodded, no wonder it took her so long to come back.

“I immediately perked up, and then I saw Mr. Xu start reading, while the young master waited on the side. However, Mr. Xu’s expression remained unchanged, and the young master gradually became uneasy from his initial excitement.”

Fu Cui grasped the key point: "So, Mr. Xu has had no expression at all?"

Liu Dan nodded: "Yes! But later she did nod to the young master, saying that he wrote very well and could continue. She must be satisfied, right?"

She looked at Lin Hao questioningly.

Lin Hao was still wondering about Mr. Xu's reaction, but when she saw his gaze, she nodded: "Mm."

Why doesn't the other person have any expression? Don't they find Little Baozi's diary interesting? She laughed for a long time back then!

Lin Hao sighed. It seemed that this Mr. Xu wasn't as interesting as she had thought! She had thought she had found a kindred spirit, but how lonely she was!

At that moment, the kindred spirit she thought she had missed was taking advantage of the student's downcast handwriting to cover the corners of her mouth with her sleeve, her eyes and brows full of smiles.

No, he had to take these things back and examine them carefully. When Gu Liunian returned, he would have a serious talk with him about it.

Cough!

Gu Yu, who was writing diligently, heard a cough and asked with concern, "Sir, are you feeling unwell?"

The child's innocent face was full of concern, how could Mr. Xu possibly say that he was acting this way because he was trying too hard to hold back his laughter!

So he said in a serious tone, "It's nothing, I guess it's just that the wind blew in."

As he spoke, he got up and closed the window.

Fortunately, the little maid who was standing under the eaves left, otherwise his behavior just now would have been unbecoming. He should be more careful in the future!
