After exchanging courtesies, everyone took their seats.
The look of surprise on Zhao Shu's face turned into shock, and for a while after sitting down, he couldn't regroup. In the presence of Su Rong, he was at a loss for words.
Lu Fengyan and Su Xingze, being acquainted with each other and having mutual admiration, quickly started a conversation.
Lu Weiran didn't seem to know what to say to Su Rong either. He had only met her once or twice before. He had accompanied Lu Fengyan today, afraid that he might be forced into marriage by someone under the power of the examination results. His presence as the heir to the Duke Residence would at least safeguard him from such a situation.
Even though Su Rong was feeling much better today, she didn't have much interest in engaging in conversation with others. So, she sipped her tea and listened to Lu Fengyan and Su Xingze talk.
