Hongzhi blinked his eyes and thought, "Well, it seems that Old Master Qi does not intend to reveal the full truth to him. There’s no helping it then; he can only report the situation to Sixth Master as truthfully as Old Master Qi described it and let Sixth Master judge for himself."
Sixth Master was extremely intelligent and would naturally understand the meaning behind Lady Qi’s words better than he, a mere page, could.
With this thought, Hongzhi felt greatly relieved. Indeed, the old man’s advice was quite reliable. He could now take his leave and return to report to Sixth Master.
Although Qi Younian and Nanny Jin would not interfere with Ye Xinyan’s business dealings, it didn’t stop them from being sincerely kind to Hongzhi. Therefore, when Hongzhi left, he carried with him two large bags of cheese and a jar of yogurt.
Nanny Jin also earnestly reminded Hongzhi that these items were perishable, so she did not give him too much. "If the young man runs out, just come to the snack shop to get more. We will certainly not run out of food for you and your friends," she said.
Hongzhi was embarrassed by Nanny Jin’s instructions but also delighted as he accepted them, thanking her repeatedly.
