Chapter 413 - 392: Second Update
Ju Nanyi, who had been holding his head low, suddenly lifted it the moment he encountered an acquaintance. The awkwardness was unmistakably displayed on his face in that instant, but the very next moment, the man had already regained his composure and respectfully bowed in the direction of Zheng Nianru, without hesitation, he turned and descended the stairs down another flight.
"Commandery Princess, it’s Lord Ju—" Xing Yu couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise. How could Lord Ju be here? Was that zither music played by Lord Ju? Wasn’t Lord Ju supposed to be...
Zheng Nianru just coldly glanced at that familiar silhouette, showing no interest in asking questions, and even if she did ask, she had no intention of changing anything.
Seeing that her master, the Commandery Princess, seemed disinterested, Xing Yu couldn’t help but speak up. Lord Ju had saved the Commandery Princess’s life; now he was singing for money in a tavern, surely he was in some sort of trouble. Just as Xing Yu was about to speak up, Fu Dong sent a cautionary glance her way.
Xing Yu felt wronged, yet she dared not continue.
"Commandery Princess, the carriage is ready, shall we return?" Nanny Yun picked up the conversation, and Fu Dong covered their master with a scarf, shielding her from the admiring glances thrown her way.
"Let’s just go back," said the Commandery Princess.
Nanny Yun glanced at Fu Dong and Xing Yu, puzzled. Everything had been fine on their way here, and they had planned to visit the newly opened textile store, but now suddenly they wanted to return.
Fu Dong gave Nanny Yun a look, who then held her tongue and instructed the coachman to head back directly.
"Commandery Princess, the Golden Brocade and Silver Brocade that Young Master Wen Zan sent are one of a kind, and if matched with your embroidery, even deities would be suitable to wear it." Nanny Yun tried to cheer up Zheng Nianru by steering the conversation towards things that pleased her.
"Those patterns are unique," Zheng Nianru spoke up. "The choice of embroidery designs must be carefully selected. Fu Dong, did you find the book I asked you to look for?"
