Pei Jue gave an "mm" and strode ahead.
Jiu You proudly lifted his chin towards Zuo Zhong and quickly followed, "My liege, please slow down and allow your servant to attend to you."
Zuo Zhong's cheeks twitched as he watched.
He thought to himself that even Jiu You managed to live well right under the king's nose; it was really undeserved for the king to bear the name "cruel."
Pei Jue had just left the courtyard and had not yet taken his leave of Pei Chong when Pei Yao came over, leading Azuo and Ayou, the two children.
Upon hearing that he was going back to Huaxi, Pei Yao didn't say anything, but the two children started to scream.
"I want to go with Uncle to play."
"Me too!"
"I want to go to Aunt's house."
"Me too."
"I want to eat the pastries from Aunt's house."
"Me too!"
Azuo said, Ayou agreed; the pair were harmonizing. Pei Yao listened with a headache forming. Her eyebrows were just starting to furrow, and before she could refuse, she saw Pei Jue nod his head.
