Gao Youlan turned her head without looking back. "I'm so scared... My father will write another charge against the Prime Minister's Mansion in tomorrow's memorial."
After seeing that they hadn't suffered any loss, Xiao Zhan followed the man in brocade robes away.
Jiang Wei and Gao Youlan walked together to the reception hall and casually found a place to sit down.
Gao Youlan poured a cup of tea and handed it to Jiang Wei, then poured one for herself.
"What bad luck! I just walked in and ran into this thing. It's making so much noise that my mouth is dry."
Gao Youlan smiled and looked at Jiang Wei, "I still don't know which family you're from, young lady. I've never seen you before."
