"It's nothing, your sister and her friends were just startled by a snake," Madam Tongzhi replied.
Hearing about the snake, a few young men were eager to prove their bravery, expressing their intention to catch the snake and thus avenge those slighted.
Among them, Lu Yuhong was the most enthusiastic: "Snake soup is delicious, once we catch it, we can make it into soup!"
Such talk coming from Lu Yuhong attracted no ridicule. Had anyone else said so, they likely would have been laughed at by the crowd.
But Lu Yuhong was different. His social standing was far above anyone else present.
Lu Yuhong was not a student of Anzhou Academy either. Today, he felt like mingling with the academy's students during their outing.
On this account, those from Anzhou Academy were very careful and tactful in his company, afraid of upsetting him.
While Lu Yuhong spoke, his gaze fell on Wei Ruo who was on the other side of the fence.
