On usual days, he would return after court to pay respects to the old madam.
But today, with a day off, he had already gone to greet the old madam in the morning.
Going now, the purpose could be said to be very pure.
Xiao Chengyu glanced at Jing Lai, and Jing Lai quickly signaled to Shaoyao.
Shaoyao had no choice but to say, "My Lord, the cook recently made some new pastries. I'm not sure if the second young lady would like them. It's about time for the old madam to send some pastries over; perhaps My Lord could simply go to the old madam to taste them?"
"Alright." Xiao Chengyu straightforwardly stood up and walked out without a moment's hesitation.
Jing Lai and Shaoyao then followed behind him.

Jing Lai whispered to Shaoyao, "You looked at me earlier, didn't you? My suggestion wasn't wrong, was it?"
