Chapter 394 - 391: Can_1
It might have been due to years of labor, but Zeng Shanru’s physique appeared robust, his skin tanned, and his demeanor very steady.
Zeng Shanru solemnly bowed to Bai Qingyan, standing aside with lowered eyebrows, not daring to look directly at her.
"Bringing you from the estate to my side has been wronging you," Bai Qingyan said gently.
"Serving the Commandery Princess is my duty," Zeng Shanru responded steadily.
Bai Qingyan nodded. "These days, the Bai family is going through turbulent times. Indeed, it’s a time when we need capable people. I am short of hands."
Zeng Shanru clasped his fists. "Commandery Princess, your orders are my duty, even unto death."
"These days, you will accompany Nanny Tong. When we return to Shuoyang, first stay by Steward Liu’s side to get familiar with things. Steward Liu is an elder I trust greatly, but he is old, and many affairs will need to be handed over to trustworthy people in the future. Do you understand what I mean?"
Zeng Shanru’s heart trembled. To be handed over to trustworthy people? These words meant that the young lady did not treat him as an outsider.
Zeng Shanru lifted the hem of his garment, knelt, and kowtowed. "Since the Commandery Princess does not treat me as an outsider, I will certainly not disappoint you. I will be loyal to you all my life. Should I have a divided heart, let me die a dreadful death, condemned by both humans and gods."
A perceptive person indeed.
