Muniang almost threw up at the sound, feeling that even as a woman she couldn't hold a candle to such affectation.
Old Mr. Zhu immediately veered away in disgust, not sparing Yun Guan'er a glance, and with a cupped-fist salute said to Muniang, "Lady Yu, I have long admired you. Today, I have come with an important matter that I wish to discuss with you."
Muniang was taken aback. So he wasn't here for Yun Guan'er?
Old Mr. Zhu, as if seeing through Muniang's confusion, seemed slightly embarrassed but went on to say, "I am not here for this little groom, who was just a momentary lapse of concentration for me. I find no interest in him nowadays."
Muniang's lips curled into a smile at Old Mr. Zhu's attitude, which was quite agreeable.
Yun Guan'er's face crumbled as he begged, "Old Mr. Zhu, after all, Yun Guan'er did serve you once. You cannot simply ignore my suffering here!"
