Bab 175: Chapter 174: Unusual

The old Marquis also nodded, "Yan'er owes her goodness to Afu. We, the Chus, will forever remain grateful."

Chu Lingxuan did not speak, but merely nodded in agreement. The three generations of the Chus have all highly praised her work.

Chen Afu laughed, "Honorable old Marquis, Mr. Chu, you are too kind. I also adore Yan greatly and hope that she will always be healthy and happy. Time was short today, so I apologize for any shortcomings in my hospitality."
