His thin lips pursed slightly as he waited for her to continue.
Cao Luyun shook her head. "I have nothing more to say."
Liang Wan's heart stirred. She glanced at Lu Xiu. 'Did he just cut her off before she could say what she really wanted?'
He continued, "If you are unhappy with anything in the residence, you may speak to Liang Ji. Though she dislikes managing trivial matters, she will still look after you. She also goes out from time to time. If you wish, you may accompany her. There is no need to stand on ceremony."
The corner of Liang Wan's mouth twitched as she looked at him. 'It's not like I go out for fun!'
Lu Xiu acted as if he hadn't noticed. "It's getting late. Lady Cao, you should rest early."
Cao Luyun managed a smile. "You and Liang Ji should also rest early."
Lu Xiu gave a slight, ever-polite nod.
Liang Wan maintained a smile the entire time.
