Not sure if it's the gaze from Cheng Yuexiu or due to some guilty conscience, Ma Junying's expression seemed a bit unnatural. He cleared his throat and said: "May I ask what business Princess Hexiu has here with this official?"
Cheng Yuexiu felt as if a mouthful of blood was stuck in her throat, causing her heart to ache, but she still pretended to be calm and collected: "No business, I just came to find my father, coincidentally saying hello to Sir Ma."
Actually, that's not true. She specially came to find him to ask why he didn't stand up and acknowledge their marriage agreement just now!
Yet, as the words reached her lips, Cheng Yuexiu swallowed them back.
Ma Junying had never promised her anything, and in such circumstances it would indeed be odd for him to stand up and claim they had a marriage agreement like Wei Boyu did!
Cheng Yuexiu let out a sorrowful laugh, bowed gracefully before Ma Junying, then turned and followed Sir Cheng out of the grand hall.
