Li Xia's sudden decision left Bai Lu and Xiao Xue in an awkward predicament.
Wang Yongzhu glanced at Li Xia: "Have you thought it through? Following me means going to the bitterly cold Chicheng City, a thousand miles away, far less prosperous than the Capital City. Once there, your food and clothing may not even match that of a third-class servant in this manor, and you'll have to do everything yourself. Are you still willing?"
Li Xia nodded repeatedly: "I'm willing!"
Seeing Li Xia's resolute attitude, Wang Yongzhu didn't say much more: "If that's the case, then stay by my side! Tomorrow, I'll fetch your indenture from Madam."
"Thank you, Wife of the Heir-Apparent! Thank you!" Li Xia hastily kowtowed several times before Gu Yu helped her up to stand aside.
Only Bai Lu and Xiao Xue remained, staring at Wang Yongzhu with uncertainty.
"What about you two? Have you decided yet?"
