Liang Cheng looked utterly astonished, and Zhou Yun furrowed his brow in confusion.
Liang Wan performed a solemn curtsy. "I hope that when you report back later, Young Master Zhou, you will put in a few good words for my uncle."
Zhou Yun looked at Liang Wan, then glanced at the dumbstruck Liang Cheng. He hesitated for a moment but still gave a slight nod.
"Rest assured, my lady. I will convey your words."
Without another moment's delay, Zhou Yun turned, boarded his carriage, and departed.
The moment Mrs. Zhang and Liang Jiao heard Liang Wan was back, they came rushing over, casting all decorum aside. Liang Zhang, curious, tagged along to watch.
"My Lady!"
The moment Qiuxi saw Liang Wan, she rushed to her, her eyes welling with tears.
Liang Wan calmly glanced around at everyone, then patted Qiuxi's hand. "I'm back now, aren't I?"
Liang Cheng's earlier smile was gone, replaced by a grim expression. "All of you, inside!"
