The servant named Xu Shan just glanced at Zhuang Zhi, made no response, simply shifted his gaze away, and lowered his eyelids to look at the ground in front of him, humming faintly through his nose.
Zhu Yu examined Xu Shan closely once more, noticing that although he was dressed in old, coarse cloth and looked like someone who did hard labor, his physique was very strong, with the contours of muscle faintly visible under his sleeves.
Before getting married, when she was still at the Prince Shuo Mansion, Zhu Yu had noticed that those in the house who chopped wood and did heavy lifting looked quite different in build from the guards who trained daily, even though they all had considerable strength.
Zhu Cheng was very generous to the household servants, ensuring that even those doing hard labor in the Prince Mansion ate well three times a day, never being deprived of food.
