Ju Nanyi continued with his work, not expecting her to come out from the inner courtyard. This was Prince Duan's Mansion, where the rules were somewhat stricter than the usual aristocratic gentry clans; there was no chance a young lady would appear in the courtyard when an unrelated man was present.

He was by the side of the Crown Prince, after all. Moreover, she had heard that this Lord Ju was of high moral standing and noble character, a rare talent indeed, the kind that even the Prince seldom praised.
Ju Nanyi felt uncomfortable under Nanny Yun's overly enthusiastic gaze, and although he remained composed, he also felt somewhat...
Ju Nanyi didn't know quite what to feel at the moment, so he only managed to pull his thoughts back to rational considerations, like what sort of husband she would find if Prince Duan rejected the Duke of Qing's offer.
