Seeing Zhu Jiayu tug at the reins and the horse slow down, Wei Qinglou suddenly lowered the carriage curtain.
"Is Miss Zhu also leaving the city today?" Although he guessed that Miss Zhu was here to see his young master off, Shu Jian felt that they should still be more reserved. Therefore, when he saw Zhu Jiayu riding over, he asked this question.
