"This is Young Master Xu. When Jiu'er and I were practically at our wits' end here in Ganzhou County, it was Young Master Xu who showed such generosity, contributing money, effort, grain, and silver. Surely the Superintendent has already reported this to the Emperor, which proves that this official has not lied."
"As for our having meals with Young Master Xu, they never exceeded the bounds of normal social interaction, and they were all out of gratitude. This time, because the private school project involved site selection, negotiations, labor recruitment, and half the funding—with Young Master Xu following up on every single detail—he suggested we celebrate in advance here at Zuixian Tower tonight. This official sees nothing improper in that." Su Jinyu's exterior remained icy to the end.
Seeing the atmosphere at such a deadlock, Young Master Xu offered, "County Princess, perhaps I should leave first. Since the Prince has arrived, it wouldn't be appropriate for me to intrude."
