Wang Yongzhu hadn't spoken yet, Yao Da and Shitou exchanged a glance, then said solemnly, "Young Master Du, you're too polite! We two brothers have only this little skill, how would we dare to serve in such influential families! The stewards of those families are all proficient in their ancestral eighteen skills, we brothers can't compare to them."
"It's just that our lord and lady don't despise us brothers, willing to take us in, we're already infinitely grateful!"
"Such words, Young Master Du, please don't mention again in the future. It's also thanks to our lady's generosity for not taking offense, otherwise, she might suspect us of harboring ulterior motives!"
With that, they bowed and withdrew.
Lord Du felt both embarrassed and awkward, biting his lip without speaking.
Once no outsiders were left in the room, he barely managed to suppress his embarrassment and apologized to Wang Yongzhu, "Little Master Aunt, earlier I spoke without thinking, I didn't mean anything else—"
