Chu Jinzhuo saw everything clearly and knew exactly what to do. So, holding onto Mrs. Ruo, he stood at the entrance preparing to warmly call out to his father.
Before long, the light of the lantern went from distant to near, gradually illuminating the front, and the King of Qi swiftly entered the courtyard.
"I pay my respects to you, my liege."
"Your child greets you, King Father."
Both Mrs. Ruo and Chu Jinzhuo respectfully performed their salutations.
Only Chu Jinnian remained aloof, leisurely sipping his tea.
Such leisure now, would result in a punishment later on.
Mrs. Ruo concealed her simmering laughter with a slight narrowing of her eyes.
"Rise." The King of Qi commanded.
His voice was gentle, carrying a touch of tenderness. But unlike usual, it was he who assisted her to her feet.
Mrs. Ruo felt humiliated in front of Chu Jinnian. Gritting her teeth, she raised her head, laboring to make the tears in her eyes seem even more misty and sentimental.
