Shu Yu thought the same, "So you’re saying Chen Qiu left, was taken away by that eldest daughter of the Pan Family?"

"Yes, the Pan Family was afraid she’d cause more trouble, so they thought to take Chen Qiu away while the eldest daughter was here. Anyway, her reputation in Changjin Prefecture is ruined, staying longer doesn’t make sense. But the Pan Family is a bit funny, they even had the idea of letting their eldest daughter find Chen Qiu a privileged family, ideally like her husband."

Gan Rui laughed when he first heard this.

It’s just that the eldest daughter, with her wide experience, says the Pan Family is dreaming.

Given Chen Qiu’s background, she might become a concubine in a large household, but being a wife is wishful thinking.

The Pan Family really thinks those wealthy families marry just by personal preference, they would still make inquiries about her background before taking a wife.

Chen Qiu is a servant’s daughter, and was born out of the affair with Ms. Pan. Even regular families won’t accept her, let alone wealthy ones.

Unless she becomes a concubine, and even as a concubine, she definitely won’t rise to power like the eldest daughter of the Pan Family did, struggling to become a mother after the first wife dies.

"The problem is Chen Qiu was unwilling to go, she was eventually tied up by the Pan Family and put on a carriage, just this morning, she left as soon as the city gates opened. Previously the Pan Family told me, the legs are on Chen Qiu, they aren’t thugs or bandits to tie people up, but look at what they’re doing now?" 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Gan Rui grew angrier the more he thought about it, just wait, he’ll definitely trip up the Pan Family in the future.

Shu Yu suddenly understood, "So Chen Qiu wasn’t willing to leave, she was taken away bound, huh?"

"Yes, at least now I can finally have some peace. I’ll write to Brother Xun later, he can come back and focus on his studies."

Shu Yu nodded, "It’s good she’s gone."

Gan Rui came over specifically to share this good news with Shu Yu, he felt as fellow sufferers, it’s necessary to have some gossip together.

After finishing his talk, he was ready to leave, he still had to write to Xun Sheng asking him to come back.

Shu Yu didn’t hold him back, after Gan Rui cupped his hands, he stood up and left the study.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped outside, he almost bumped into someone.

Shu Yu heard the familiar ’ouch’ from outside, quickly stood up and went out to see.

Outside was Meng Han, who just ran over and stood face to face with Gan Rui.

Luckily Meng Han’s skills were good, with a twist of the waist, she dodged directly. On the contrary, Gan Rui stumbled back and sat right down on the steps.

"Are you okay?"

Shu Yu asked.

Gan Rui shook his head, blankly looking at Meng Han who had already turned around and steadied herself, still sitting on the ground, he started clapping, "Good moves, heroine."

Shu Yu, "..."

Meng Han choked for a moment, originally wanting to complain that he was walking with his head down not watching, hearing this, instantly couldn’t speak, even got a little embarrassed and waved her hand, "No, don’t call me heroine."

It’s too embarrassing.

"You okay?"

Gan Rui had already quickly stood up, "No worries, I’m thick-skinned, there’s not a single problem. Just now, my apologies, I was too excited and hurried, nearly collided with the lady... sorry, sorry."

"Uh, it’s fine, I was also in a rush."

"No, it was my fault, suddenly coming out of the doorway, startling the lady."

"It was me..."

"Ahem." Shu Yu stood at the back, lightly coughed twice.
