Li Wuyu had intended to stay for lunch, but her mentor, Xiao Changyi, seemed particularly unwelcoming, so in the end, she didn't stay and rode back to town instead.
She didn't return to the residence provided by Wang Youbao; rather, she casually picked an inn to dine in.
After having her meal and thinking that Wang Youbao should have returned from dining at the Scholar's place, she headed over to the Wang Family again.
Since she had been visiting the Wang Family so frequently, she no longer needed to be announced and could enter directly.
Wang Youbao had indeed returned and was sitting in the central hall drinking tea.
As soon as Li Wuyu caught sight of Wang Youbao, she immediately brightened and was about to call out to him and rush over when she heard Yu Daming, who was attending to him, say, "Young Master, it seems that the Scholar intends to betroth Miss Xing to you."
Upon hearing this, Li Wuyu's mood soured, and she stopped in her tracks, standing just outside the hall.
