Zhu Yao raised her eyebrows, but she didn't speak, only the pace of her feet didn't stop, and Hongyu understood her young lady's thoughts. She frowned, suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, and obediently followed Zhu Yao's side. Wanxiang carefully lifted the hem of her skirt, wore ill-fitting embroidered shoes, and followed behind Zhu Yao and Hongyu a few steps behind, naturally she didn't hear what Hongyu said to Zhu Yao.

In the banquet living room, Old Man Zhu and a scholar sat opposite each other.

The scholar was dressed in a washed white blue cloth robe, wearing a turban, and his hands were a little cramped on his knees, and his head was slightly bowed. When answering Old Man Zhu's question, he raised his head slightly, leaned sideways, and looked respectful.

Zhu Yao looked at the back for a while before she stretched out her hand and pointed outside, letting Hongyu go out with the evening fragrance.

"Daddy, do you have something to explain when you come to find your daughter?" Wan Xiang lowered her head slightly, revealing her snow-white neck, and walked to Old Man Zhu with Hongyu's arm.

When Old Man Zhu saw that it was the evening fragrance coming out, he frowned without showing a look, glanced at the direction in which the evening fragrance came out, and then withdrew his gaze as if nothing had happened. A smile appeared on his face: "This Liu Gongzi said that he came to thank you." You kid has done good deeds, and you don't know how to tell your daddy. Old Man Zhu looked at the evening fragrance and said with a smile.

Wanxiang panicked, and the ill-fitting embroidered shoes under her feet became more and more crowded to the point that her toes hurt, making her body shake. Hongyu quickly helped her, lowered her voice and whispered, "This is your only chance." ”

Wan Xiang's heart sank, and her panicked heart also calmed down. Holding Hongyu's hand, he showed a decent smile and said to Old Man Zhu: "Daddy came to make fun of me again, when did my daughter do something, and what didn't I explain to my father." The tone seemed to be disgusted, so that he really treated Old Man Zhu as his father.

Old Man Zhu laughed when he heard this. But Liu Gongzi got up in a hurry and said: "Doesn't the girl remember me? If it wasn't for the girl's righteous action on the street that day, Liu would not even have the opportunity to take the exam today, so how could he be on the list." I have come to thank the girl today, this is a little thank you gift to the girl, and I ask the girl not to refuse. With that, Liu Gongzi picked up a few boxes of snacks on the table and handed them to Wanxiang.

Evening incense took a few steps back, avoiding the boxes of snacks, but her eyes showed a look of contempt without revealing it. She saw that the snack was bought casually on the street, and she couldn't help but feel a little disgusted with this scholar in her heart. This person even prepared a thank-you gift so casually, which shows that his family background is average. In this Shangjing City, even if you get the title of Champion Lang, if you don't have any money, it will be difficult to move an inch.

But this scholar is the only chance for her to get a free body at this time, and Wan Xiang knows in her heart that if she misses this almost, Zhu Yao will not give herself another chance. But does she really want to give up the life of Zhu Mansion and live a life of eating chaff and vegetables with that scholar? Although she is a maid in Zhu Mansion, because she is the big maid in front of Zhu Yao, her life is better than that of ordinary girls from small families. is used to living such a life, can she still endure that hardship?

Wanxiang was struggling in her heart, and a tangled look appeared on her face. Hongyu pinched her quietly, she gasped in pain, and her tangled look disappeared, replaced by a firm determination.
