“Let’s go.” Tucking the lotus pod into his sleeve, he loosened up and turned outward. Qu Xiaojue couldn’t help but feel a bit happy, following him and hearing his words: “I’m not going to meet anyone’s husband, just take me for a walk. Oh, bring some silver.”
“…I brought it.”
This was their first time going out together. Xu Wanzhi was not used to being close to unfamiliar people, always unconsciously moving aside. Qu Xiaojue thoughtfully gave him enough space.
The household servants, who probably hadn’t seen both masters appear together for a long time, were caught off guard when they met, hastily bowing: “Greetings, Family Master, Master.”
“Mm.” Qu Xiaojue nodded.
Xu Wanzhi handed over the lotus pod: “Please send this to my courtyard, have Qi’er cook a portion of porridge and keep it cool, and send a portion to the young master too.”
“Yes, Master.” The young servant hurriedly took it.
Oh, Master, your disagreement with the old master is one thing, but in giving gifts, you’ve neglected the one who should be first by your side!
Qu Xiaojue turned and walked ahead, Xu Wanzhi followed leisurely. Along the way, they received countless servant bows.
Leaving the gate, Qu Xiaojue turned to look at him and got into the carriage first.
“Master, please.” A teenage boy bowed, understanding the invitation at a glance, raising her eyebrows and standing still. After a moment, a voice from inside urged: “Come up.”
Xu Wanzhi stepped forward, and the boy trembled almost imperceptibly. She waved her hand and turned to walk in another direction: “If you want to take the carriage, you can go ahead. I’ll just walk around.”
“Husband!” Hearing such words, Qu Xiaojue’s anger suddenly rose. She lifted the curtain and got off the carriage, shouting at the back a few meters away.
A man walking around casually? Doesn’t he know that even disguised as a woman, he would only add more brilliance? Must he always go against her?
“What’s the matter?” Often questioning her like this made her feel frustrated. Turning around, his eyes were puzzled and innocent. Qu Xiaojue stared at him heavily, suppressing her voice to ask: “Why won’t you get in the carriage?”
