Behind the girl stood the steward of the Hou family. Hou Xiangxiang bounced around a couple of times and quietly pointed inside with her finger, looking at the old man with a questioning expression.
The old man shook his head, saying he didn't know, couldn't say, and even if he did know, he couldn't say.
"Sister Shi, look at the two of us..."
“Brother, nothing happened between us. Let’s just consider that day’s events as a dream.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Zheng, the wealthy young master, also lost his temper. He said goodbye and left the main hall, feeling slightly embarrassed when he saw Hou Xiangxiang as he went out.
After the girl bowed to him, he only gave her a red envelope and hurriedly left the Marquis's residence.
