The Lord of Ming Prefecture clasped his hands behind his back, looked at the never-ending stream of people, and laughed with abandon, "As long as she yields to this lord, what difficulty would there be in granting her the status of a person from Shang Country? Yuebin Building, is it?"
The Maid hesitated for a moment and advised, "My lord, Prince Han is outside. Would it be improper to meet Miss Gu directly like this?"
There were indeed some troubles at his cousin's, but Ming Prefecture's lord had long pursued the beauty, yet she hadn't even given him a glance. He worried that if he missed today, next time the beauty would ignore him again.
After some internal struggle, he still steeled himself and lied to Prince Han.
"Cousin, I came across a friend at the tea house. You need not escort me any longer; I shall return to the mansion on my own shortly."
Having said that, he suppressed the nervousness in his heart and tried to appear open and calm.
