Meng Sanbao's eyes widened. Next to him, Qin Hu was equally speechless.
How did the silent boy become Mr. Cui?
The Commandery Princess even specially invited him to sit at the banquet?
Cui Du stood up calmly and followed Yin Zhu to the officials' table, sitting below Shen Mu.
Shen Mu was usually aloof and slightly eccentric, not fond of speaking. Today, however, his eyes were full of appreciation as he looked at Cui Du: "Mr. Cui, how old are you this year?"
Cui Du pointed to his throat and shook his head.
Shen Mu was taken aback: "Mr. Cui cannot speak?"
Cui Du nodded.
What a pity! He's actually a silent boy.
Shen Mu, feeling a bit regretful, understood the well-intentioned effort of the Commandery Princess. Such a great merit was enough for an official to rise in ranks, but a young boy who couldn't speak was destined not to enter officialdom. It was best not to attract too much attention.
