Qingyun's Love: Tiger Boy Falls in Love with a Pretty Lawyer

At this time, Master Yu, who had been sitting at the table without saying much, ordered his followers to bring a pot of exquisitely crafted lucky bamboo to him, and then whispered a few words to Master Wu.

Young Master Wu nodded, stood up, and said, "Dad, Young Master Yu said he has a gift for you." Everyone stopped talking. Some wanted to see what special gift it was, while others, knowing the relationship between the Wu and Yu families, were curious about why Young Master Yu had come to the Wu Mansion, where his family had always been at odds.

Mr. Wu was also momentarily stunned. Young Master Yu picked up the lucky bamboo and gracefully walked to the main table. He presented the bonsai to the table and bowed, saying, "I, your junior, wish Mr. and Mrs. Wu a long and healthy life!"

Mrs. Wu smiled and asked him to excuse himself. Mr. Wu looked at him and asked, "How is your father's health now?"

Young Master Yu replied, "Thank you, Master Wu, for your concern. My father is in good health, but he needs to stay in his room for a long time to recuperate."

"Oh." Mr. Wu nodded and said, "When we go back later, I have a piece of fine ginseng that an old friend in Beijing gave me. I'll take it back to your father and see if it can be used."

Young Master Yu declined politely, but Master Wu waved him off. Young Master Yu then thanked him, bowed deeply, and returned to his seat.

Everyone continued to feast. The atmosphere remained lively. Bi Yaniang and the other women seemed to have not yet decided what to do, so they didn't make any noise.

At this moment, a steward walked in from outside the hall, followed by a man in short clothes. After entering the hall, the steward asked the man behind him to wait there, then walked to Mr. Wu's side, whispered a few words, and took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Mr. Wu with both hands.

Mr. Wu calmly opened the envelope and read the contents. His expression changed slightly. He then put the letter back into its envelope, thinking for a moment.

At this time, Bi Yanniang raised her hand again, as if she was about to say something. It was probably unknown what bad idea she was going to come up with.

Mr. Wu looked at her with a hint of disgust and raised his hand to stop her. She didn't know why, and she didn't dare to disobey Mr. Zhao, so she sat down reluctantly.

Mr. Wu stood up and first bowed to express his gratitude to everyone for coming to the banquet. Then he looked at the table not far away and said, "Today I would like to invite a talented woman from our Xiaoyue City to say a few words." Then he pointed over there.

"Miss Hu, I heard you have excellent literary talent. Could you share with the young students here some good ways to improve your writing?" Then he smiled and said, "Of course, I would also be all ears."

Everyone was shocked upon hearing this. They had never expected that Master Wu would personally appoint Hu Ling as the general, and even invite her to speak in a commendatory manner. It was truly a great honor.

Young Master Wu and the others were relieved. Having just heard Master Wu mention Miss Hu, they expected him to get angry, but unexpectedly, he politely asked Hu Ling to share some writing experience. They were also a little puzzled. Why would Master Wu openly express his friendly attitude at the banquet today?

Hu Ling was also extremely shocked. She had never expected that Master Wu would personally call her by name. Although she knew that Master Wu meant well after hearing what he said, she was still uneasy and didn't know how to start.

She looked at Wu Shao, who met her gaze with eager and encouraging eyes and nodded firmly.

Hu Ling regained her composure. She calmed herself down, stood up gracefully, and bowed deeply to Master Wu.

Hu Ling sometimes felt helpless. Originally, with her literary talent, eloquence, and temperament, she wasn't someone who was afraid of things or couldn't communicate cheerfully. But because of her social status, an invisible force forced her into a cramped situation.

Now it was an unexpected surprise for her to get Mr. Wu's approval to speak on such a grand occasion.

Although she still didn't know why Mr. Wu's attitude had changed so much, she had to cheer herself up and present a good image in order to pursue her own happiness and to face and fight back against some malicious attacks. Moreover, she had her lover and friends behind her to cheer her up.
