Uncle Lin was somewhat puzzled and asked, "Did the Madam leave something at the Hongwen Academy?"
Wen Wan said no, just that she sat in the school all day and felt bored. Seeing that it was still early, she wanted to go for a walk.
She also instructed Uncle Lin not to take the usual road, fearing it was unsafe, and told him to take a detour back home. They didn't need to wait for her, she would hire a carriage shortly.
Uncle Lin felt strange in his heart; he thought the usual road was so close and they walked it every day, how could it be unsafe?
But since the mistress had spoken, he naturally couldn't refute. After the two masters got off, he turned the carriage around, bid farewell to Wen Wan, and took a detour back to the Song family.
"Mother, why did you let Grandpa Lin leave first?" Song Yuanbao stood aside to avoid the passing pedestrians, feeling puzzled by Wen Wan's actions.
