Chapter 1956: The Female Knight's Impressive Skills

Shu Yu shared the same thought, saying, "So, when you mentioned that Chen Qiu left, she was taken away by the eldest daughter of the Pan family?"

"That's right. The Pan family was afraid she would cause more trouble, so they thought of sending her away while their eldest daughter came over. After all, her reputation in the Changjin Prefecture has been tarnished, and there's no point in her staying here. But the Pan family also had a bit of a humorous idea; they wanted their eldest daughter to find a wealthy and noble family for Chen Qiu, just like their eldest son-in-law."

When Master Gan heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.

It seemed that the eldest daughter had a broader perspective and considered the Pan family's idea to be wishful thinking. Given Chen Qiu's background, she might find a wealthy family willing to accept her as a concubine, but becoming a wife was out of the question.

The Pan family believed that those wealthy families chose their wives based on their preferences and disregarded their backgrounds. However, even if they didn't care about their bride's background, they would still thoroughly investigate her origins before marriage.

Chen Qiu was the daughter of a commoner and the result of an illicit affair with a member of the Pan family. Even ordinary families wouldn't look favorably upon her, let alone wealthy ones.

Unless she became a concubine, but even then, she wouldn't be able to follow in the footsteps of the Pan family's eldest daughter, who might ascend to the position of the official wife after the original wife passed away.

"The problem is, Chen Qiu wasn't willing to leave. In the end, she was forcibly taken away by the Pan family. It happened this morning, right when the city gate opened. Earlier, the Pan family told me that they couldn't physically restrain her because her legs were her own, and they weren't a gang of criminals. Look at what they've done now."

The more Master Gan thought about it, the angrier he became. He was looking forward to causing trouble for the Pan family in the future.

Shu Yu remarked, "So, Chen Qiu didn't leave voluntarily; she was forcibly taken away?"

"That's right. Now I can finally enjoy some peace and quiet. I'll write a letter to Xun Sheng later, asking him to return and focus on his studies."

Shu Yu nodded, saying, "That would be for the best."

Master Gan had come mainly to share this good news with Shu Yu. He felt that as fellow victims, it was essential to enjoy the melon together.

After he finished speaking, he prepared to leave. He needed to write a letter to persuade Xun Sheng to return.

Shu Yu didn't detain him, and after Master Gan bowed, he got up and left the study.

However, as soon as he stepped outside, he nearly collided with someone.

Hearing a familiar voice exclaiming, "Aiyo," Master Gan quickly raised his head and barely avoided the collision. Instead, he staggered backward and sat down on the steps.

"Are you alright?"

Shu Yu asked.

Master Gan shook his head, still staring blankly at the person who had turned around and steadied herself, clapping her hands. "The female knight has impressive skills."

Shu Yu sighed, "..."

Meng Han choked for a moment. She had initially wanted to complain about him walking with his head down without looking ahead, but after hearing this, she suddenly couldn't find the right words. She even felt a little embarrassed and waved her hand, saying, "Don't, don't call me a female knight."

How awkward.

"Are you okay?"

Master Gan had already gotten up swiftly, "I'm fine, I'm fine. I'm thick-skinned, so there's nothing wrong with me. I apologize for the abruptness earlier; I was too excited and rushed out of the door, nearly scaring the young... lady."

"Uh, it's my fault for being too..."

*Cough cough.* Shu Yu, who was standing behind, cleared her throat.
