Zhan Qiao, after getting the words from the old master, immediately went to the manor. Because he didn't want to make a fuss at this time, he asked everyone in private one by one.
There were surprises and disappointments, some who were willing and some who refused. Zhan Qiao noted down all those who were willing and picked the best ones from them. Each name on the paper gave him a mixed feeling of sadness and excitement.
Wu Shun was quite confused watching from the side, not really understanding Zhan Qiao's emotions. It was just selecting people, there was no need for such a melancholic atmosphere.
When Zhan Qiao took a break, he noticed Wu Shun's expression. After finishing his meal, he asked Wu Shun, "Why did you choose to follow the Crown Princess? Was it just because of her kindness back then?"
