Housekeeper Fu looked at Mudou with some surprise. The boy wasn't as wooden as everyone thought; he certainly didn't lack proper manners.
Mudou shot him a cold glare, seeing right through his thoughts. He thought, "Although I don't like to talk, I'm not mentally deficient. How could I not know basic etiquette?"
Housekeeper Fu immediately realized his lapse in courtesy. He hurriedly took the box from his hands with both hands and said with a broad smile, "Thank you, Young Master Ouyang, for keeping us in your thoughts. Please follow me inside for a cup of hot tea. It must have been a tiring journey."
When Ouyang Bing jumped down from the carriage, Chu Dongnan took advantage of everyone's attention being on the master and servant to quietly bring his attendant into their group.
