"I heard that the Duke was injured, and although I'm just a servant, I also find it hard to eat and sleep in peace... The Duke defends the country, and although I don't have the fortune to be his child, I am also under his protection... Moreover, the Second Miss Tang let me learn to read and write, so I can also do something for the Duke."
"I humbly request Second Miss Tang to allow this!"
Ah Yuan didn't look well, with dark circles under his eyes and slight swelling, but his gaze was firm and unwavering.
The news of the Duke Yan's injury came just two days ago, and the order to copy scriptures behind closed doors was issued only yesterday—
Tang Xiaobai glanced at the stack of manuscripts in his arms.
Could it be that this child stayed up all night copying?
"Second Miss Tang..." Ah Yuan called out to her again, his eyes moist with genuine yearning.
