Yueyao smiled and nodded. By the time Yueyao had arrived at Wen Chengxiang's residence with Ma Peng, Wen Chengxiang was entertaining guests.
Yueyao understood Teacher Wen's temperament quite well and said to Ma Peng with a smile, "Big Cousin, you go back first, and I will return on my own this afternoon." Yueyao's words were not quite in line with convention, but she was worried that Ma Peng might be slighted later on.
Ma Peng hesitated for a moment.
Yueyao laughed and said, "Cousin, you still have to go to the Hanlin Academy! You can't be delayed because of me. You better hurry, and don't be late."
After some thought, Ma Peng left.
