Fu Hanwen and Xiao Ruo returned to the Fu Family Courtyard before dinner. Xiangxiang, Fu Shu, and Fu Wu had all come back, but there was no sign of Changer.
"Did you not run into Changer?" Xiao Ruo asked Fu Shu.
Fu Shu was taken aback: "We didn't see Young Master Changer."
Xiao Ruo wondered aloud, "Could he have run into Huzi and gone off to play with him?"
However, this was unlikely, because Huzi had to work in the fields, and every time Changer came back, he would only play with Huzi in the evening.
Xiao Ruo was just about to ask Fu Shu to fetch Changer back for dinner when she saw Changer returning with a flushed face.
Changer's face was red, but Lady Shao noticed her son was angry and asked worriedly, "Changer, why are you only coming back now? Did something happen?"
Changer took a deep breath and forced a smile for his mother: "Mom, nothing happened, I just couldn't find Xiangxiang."
