In the hall, only six of them remained. Governor Zhu enjoyed his meal, Mentor Liu was satisfied, and Mayor Qian accompanied Lu Sanniang in a joyful meal.
Even Qiao Mai didn't hold a grudge against Yuan Jiaqi for what had happened before.
After they had eaten and drunk to their satisfaction, the six of them were resting in the living room when they heard a knock on the door. Qiao Mai glared at Yuan Jiaqi.
"Go and handle this. It's your business!"
Yuan Jiaqi gave a wry smile, got up, and walked out. Governor Zhu and Mayor Qian followed him while Lu Sanniang tugged on Qiao Mai's sleeve.
"Although it was his admirer, it's not entirely his fault. You can't hold it against him."
"I just felt angry that they had to cause trouble on New Year's Day."
The maid saw the masters coming outside, so she opened the door. There was a horse carriage parked outside with a middle-aged couple standing at the door.
