Jiang Huai and his Jinyi Guards came over to greet everyone. Once he understood the situation, they withdrew.
The confidants and Mansion Guards Lu Yuan had sent out rushed back, only to find that everything was already over.
Thanks to some smooth talking from Lu Yuan, the whole affair was covered up.
Lu Yuan had already arranged for servants to find carpenters, tilers, and plasterers to repair the wrecked room.
As for Gu Gaoxu, his eyes lit up whenever he looked at Lu Yuan. Their last match had been inconclusive, and he was always itching for a rematch, but Lu Yuan had no interest.
Lu Yuan pulled Gu Gaoxu to the front hall for tea.
For whatever reason, Lu Yuan had Su Liyan escort the already shaken Gu Ziye back to her room alone. It was quite a test of the girl's courage.
「In the front hall.」
Lu Yuan spoke first. "You punk. They didn't let you in the main gate, so you just climbed the wall? Breaking and entering?"
