The woman raised her chin slightly to the maid, motioning her to open the door.
There was a man outside the door. He bowed and saluted the woman inside, saying, "I am late. Please forgive me, young lady."
"It's okay, I'm fine too. Now that you're here, let's have dinner together before going back." The woman said gently.
The man didn't look up at her. He stood up straight with his brows lowered and said, "I'll be waiting outside. Please enjoy your meal, young lady."
"I can't call you now?" The woman frowned, looking unhappy.
"I dare not!"
"Then come in and sit down."
The maidservant beside him whispered to the man, "Come in if the young lady asks you to. Don't make her unhappy."
The man nodded, walked into the room with his brows lowered, and sat down opposite the woman.
The maid closed the door again, and the woman said to her, "Go on."
The maid glanced at the man beside her before continuing, "General Zhu's unique appearance makes him recognizable to most people in Guangling City. He either wears a mask when traveling or, as he did today, is easy to spot. So, I was able to get a lot of information from him."
"He is a very nice person and generous. These merchants all praise him a lot, but..." The maid hesitated.
The woman raised her eyes and looked at her: "Speak."
Although his tone was gentle, he had the aura of a superior who brooked no room for questioning.
"But this General Zhu has a big hobby, which is known to everyone. He doesn't love money, but he loves beautiful women. Moreover, he likes both men and women." The maid's voice became lower and lower. She was afraid that her young lady would be unhappy when she heard this.
The young lady in her family has always been high and mighty. How could she have ever been so proactive and interested in someone?
Still a man.
She was really afraid that the young lady would get angry and bring trouble to innocent people, and even vent her anger on the person she had gone to question.
However.
Not only was the woman not angry, she even curled up the corners of her lips and smiled.
She looked at the man sitting opposite her: "Yunhe, as a man, what do you think of my appearance?"
Yun He, who was being questioned, still kept his eyes downcast, not looking up at the woman. He replied, "The young lady is as beautiful as a fairy, the most beautiful woman in Dongling Country."
The woman chuckled, nodded, and said to herself, "Yes, if he is so beautiful, how could he not even look at me?"
This man is probably not as lustful as the rumors say.
"Ruyue, tell Yunhe everything you know and let him investigate again. He's the expert in this area."
"Yes, miss."
-
We had a very sumptuous dinner at Tianxianglou, eating and chatting for almost an hour.
It's dark now.
"You can't do anything at night anyway, so why don't you go back tomorrow morning?"
"You're just deliberately talking about this and that to delay the time until dark, right?"
"Not really, I just really have a lot to say to you."
Su Liuer rolled her eyes at Zhu Yunxi and said, "Let's talk about it next time. Now that the space is normal, I have to go back quickly. If something goes wrong again and Bai Ling is not with me, I will really have to take a boat back."
What's more, she couldn't just rely on Liuguang's presence to let him do this and that for her while she just focused on romance.
Liuguang will also get tired if he stays outside the space for a long time.
Since Su Liuer said so, Zhu Yunxi took her to a secluded corner where no one was around. After watching her leave, he returned home alone.
"You still remember to come back?"
