Zhu Yu wasn't really bothered by Zhu Cheng's scrutiny. She also knew why he wasn't happy at this moment, but since she had achieved her goal, it would be unreasonable to fuss over the attitude of someone she had outmaneuvered.
So, she respectfully saluted Zhu Cheng with a bow.
As the saying goes, "One doesn't hit a smiling face," no matter how displeased Zhu Cheng was, seeing her so courteous, he didn't have the heart to truly complain. After all, he had his pride to maintain. So, he nodded to Zhu Yu and glanced with some surprise at Lu Qing, who had also changed her appearance.
The group mounted their horses and set off, galloping all the way; they reached the barren land where the canal was being dug before the sun had climbed high in the sky.
