Zhou Yun chuckled, pushing the stunned Liang Wan toward the low table. "Grand Commandant, weren't you looking for a drinking partner? As it happens, I found someone with nowhere to go, and she even brews a fine sobering tea. I brought her to you on a whim!"
He said this with a waggish grin.
Liang Wan, however, didn't dare to even lift her head. Cold sweat trickled down her back.
She remembered Lu Xiu's warning very clearly: she was not to seek him out without his express command!
Liang Wan gritted her teeth and shot a glare at Zhou Yun. 'So this is what he meant. He hadn't taken her to the Master's Mansion, he'd just brought her to see Lu Xiu.'
"I have morning lessons with the Crown Prince tomorrow. I'm not exactly a man of leisure, so I won't keep you company." He spoke as if to himself, ignoring the fact that the man at the table kept his eyes downcast, pouring and drinking alone.
