The night was deep.
Hu Yaozu was so busy that his feet barely touched the ground.
After leaving the post station, he still needed to escort Mr. Chu back home.
Mr. Chu waved dismissively, "No need, I've said it's not on your way, so why bother making this trip every night?"
Hu Yaozu smiled, his demeanor neither humble nor arrogant, yet thoughtful and respectful.
"It's dark, and I can't rest easy unless I accompany you home, sir."
Mr. Chu stroked his beard, no longer refusing, unable to hide the smile in his eyes.
There were many people on the street; the Ze County City Gate had no curfew these days, allowing citizens to report to the authorities and come and go as they please.
Once the two left the main road, the number of people around them thinned out.
They could see the Chu Family residence ahead.
Mr. Chu glanced at the sky and spoke, "Once this matter is settled, come to our house to propose."
Hu Yaozu paused in his steps, his hand under his sleeve tightened.
