Lian Hua giggled, "Nanny, it's already clean, no need to wipe anymore."
Nanny Qi was at once frustrated and amused. To a little girl, even the most serious matters seemed trivial. In no time, she was acting as if nothing had happened, her worries fleeting as a moment.
The little girl had only felt a twinge of anger when asking about how Xiao Qing was, but at no other time did she seem scared. Instead, it was Nanny Qi whose reaction was far greater, still feeling the after-effects of fear.
What was she to say? It was a mixture of happiness and worry. She feared the girl being scared yet also worried about her taking things too lightly.
Alas, there was just no dealing with the little girl.
With resignation, she said, "You should change your clothes, nevertheless."
Lian Hua halted her laughter and shook her head, "Nanny, let's not change. Isn't there still important business to attend to? Xiao Jizi, Xiao Linzi, how did your tasks go?"
