Yun Jiao saw that she came back so early today, and it was Jiang Youzhi who personally brought her back, so she knew there must have been something up.

After asking, Yun Jiao said with a mix of laughter and tears, "Alright, as long as you didn’t suffer any loss."

She recalled that when she was in elementary school, there was also a boy who always liked to pull her hair, and back then, she really disliked that boy.

Who would have thought, ten years later, when she met that boy again, he shyly confessed to her.

So perhaps, pulling hair is also a way for young boys to express their affection.

Jiang You brought Ruru back and then left; he still had a pile of official business to handle.

Yun Jiao called over Ruru’s maid, "Ruru is still young, and she doesn’t understand the severity of today’s matter. You didn’t consider it either. If it weren’t for the fact that it was Grand Tutor Xie’s grandson today, Ruru might have suffered a big loss."

The maid started crying, kneeling on the ground, "Mistress, I truly didn’t know what to do."

Yun Jiao sighed, "Forget it, I can’t blame you entirely."

Back when this girl was placed beside Ruru, it was because she was seen as honest, but she’s too honest, not even knowing to protect her mistress.

Yun Jiao waved her hand, "Starting tomorrow, Xiao Lu will accompany Ruru to the palace, and you will stay home."

Xiao Lu is clever, but Yun Jiao initially didn’t let her go to the palace because she was afraid her strong-willed nature might get Ruru in trouble.

After all, finding a perfect maid is not easy; everyone has their strengths and weaknesses.

After lunch, Yun Jiao hugged Ruru and took a nap in the room. She quietly got up soon after and went to the front to see patients.

Before long, someone from the Duke Mansion came to report, "Young Madam, just now someone from the palace sent some gifts to the mansion, saying they are an apology from the Fourth Prince to Miss Ruru."

"The Fourth Prince also came in person and is still waiting at the mansion."

Yun Jiao thought for a moment, quickly woke Ruru up from her nap, and had the driver ready the carriage to return home.

Back at the mansion, the Fourth Prince was still pacing in the hall, clearly very impatient by now.

Seeing Ruru come in, the Fourth Prince looked up at the ceiling and snorted.

Ruru held Yun Jiao’s hand, "You said you came to apologize to me, what’s this, are you unwilling?"

The Fourth Prince’s face suddenly turned red.

His father had ordered him to apologize, and he didn’t dare not to come, but apologizing to such a little girl was truly embarrassing for him.

He hemmed and hawed for a while, and Yun Jiao approached with a smile, saying, "Fourth Prince, please sit down."

"Thank you for bringing those gifts."

The Fourth Prince, seeing how beautiful and friendly the National Lady was, felt a bit embarrassed, "Well, those gifts are nothing much."

Yun Jiao smiled and said, "I heard from Ruru that she often interacts with you in the school."

The Fourth Prince blinked his eyes, "Interact?"

Yun Jiao laughed, "It means playing together."

The Fourth Prince thought about it; he often pulled Ruru’s hair and clothes because he found her glaring expression quite amusing.

"I understand, you pull Ruru’s hair ribbon because you want to play with her, right? From now on, just tell her directly, she’ll understand. Pulling her hair, she doesn’t know what you mean."

The Fourth Prince thought along the lines of Yun Jiao’s words and felt they made sense.

Yun Jiao pulled Ruru over, "Alright, you are all classmates studying together, why make a fuss? Let’s apologize to each other and get along well in the future, alright?"

Ruru, actually a bit guilty too, had been startled when the Fourth Prince’s face was covered in blood.

Hearing Yun Jiao’s words, she quickly lowered her head and apologized, "I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have hit you today."

"Does your nose still hurt?"
