When Nanzhi escorted Shen Wenchen back to the Lord's Residence, her face was already tinged with red.
This man wouldn't stop talking nonsense all the way back in the carriage.
"Sister-in-law!" Twelve had been chased and teased by four little monkeys all afternoon, so he saw Nanzhi's return as a godsend.
"Twelve, what happened to you?" Nanzhi looked at his dishevelled appearance with surprise as she helped Shen Wenchen closer to her.
"Sister-in-law, you're finally back," Twelve said as he rushed over to her, wishing he had grown a pair of wings.
"What is this…?" Nanzhi didn't finish her question when she saw those four little rascals running towards her from behind. She then understood the situation immediately.
"You've really gone to a lot of trouble."
"No trouble, no trouble at all, sister-in-law. Allow me," said Twelve as he took over the task of helping Shen Wenchen. He felt a heaviness settle on his shoulder as he struggled to keep Shen upright.
