Pampering Husband (second update)

Seeing him not sitting in his own seat but next to Xiao Liulang, everyone was quite surprised.

However, on second thought, he left early last night and joined late today, perhaps he didn't hear all the talk about Xiao Liulang. Coming from a humble background, he probably doesn't know the seating rules, probably thinking that the top scholars sat side by side.

This is the sorrow of scholars from humble backgrounds, unable to grasp the situation, not knowing the rules, unaware when they inadvertently offend people.

However, everyone detested Xiao Liulang the most, and didn't hold as much resentment towards Ning Zhiyuan. Ning Zhiyuan didn't have good looks or an influential background. Compared to Xiao Liulang, he was practically insignificant.

People's cold stares soon fell on Xiao Liulang again, whispering to each other, mostly criticising Xiao Liulang.

Xiao Liulang sat upright on the cushion, as if he didn't hear, or chose to ignore it if he did.
