Lu Xuening laughed and asked, her words sounding deliberately provocative.
Lei Shuo didn't know what to say, so Lu Xuening laughed again: "Just kidding."
"I'll take him upstairs to rest first, and we'll head back to the main house later."
She glanced at Lei Shuo again, her voice growing louder: "Don't worry, it's very quiet here. The servants don't dare to come upstairs, no one will bother him."
She turned back to look at Lu An: "Dad, I'll come down in a bit."
"Go ahead, take good care of Mr. Jin," said Lu An immediately.
So, Lu Xuening helped Dongfang Jin upstairs.
Dongfang Ji wanted to follow them, but he seemed to hesitate, and in the end, he gave up on the idea.
Baili Xia put down her chopsticks, her eyes thoughtful and complicated, her mind seemingly elsewhere.
Lu An immediately engaged everyone again, laughing: "Let's have some tea in the main hall."
...
Lu Xuening did indeed come down soon, and when she did, she gave Lu An a smile.
