Yao Zhe Yu stood up; he had no expectation for Magistrate Zhou to see him out. Watching Zhou Shuren leave immediately after speaking, Yao Zhe Yu fell silent. Magistrate Zhou really was a family man, a glaring weakness indeed, but what did it matter if everyone knew? Without certainty, no one dared to reach out rashly anymore.
Xue Han returned from the Wang residence and, seeing the carriage mark in front of the mansion gate, recognized it as the Princely Heir's. Xue Han entered the courtyard, alighted from the carriage, and after few steps, she encountered Steward Ding and the Princely Heir.
Xue Han thought it was quite a coincidence. As a betrothed woman, she hastily lowered her head, "Princely Heir."
Yao Zhe Yu paused in his steps, "Miss Zhou."
Xue Han, having acknowledged and stood up, retreated a few steps and then, with Liu Li and Liu Jin, quickly headed to the back courtyard.
