Zheng Yuan's eyes lit up, "My lord, we must indeed clarify this!"
As long as one does not return for the time being, there may be unexpected changes at any moment; if there are changes, perhaps the lord would not need to return in person!
"However," Lin Wu's tone shifted, "Ren Ke is right, I should go back now."
Now was the best opportunity she could anticipate. Everything was still under control.
If she delayed any further, anything could happen, and she could not be sure if future developments would be good or bad. If they turned out to be bad, all her efforts would have been in vain.
Zheng Yuan's face became solemn, "But..."
Lin Wu poured herself another cup of water, took a sip to moisten her throat, and said with downcast eyes and brows, "It's alright. I've waited several years and finally found a suitable candidate in the Huo Family. Now that the Huo Family has suffered a heavy loss and despises me immensely, the timing is ripe. Returning now would be almost a sure bet."
