"Here's some travel money, some dry food and pastries. Take them with you on the road," Chen said, pointing to the packed items on the side.

"Thank you, Madam."

"Sister Lin..." Song Ruoying held Lin Yaoyao's hand, extremely reluctant to part.

She liked Lin Yaoyao because she knew how to flatter her.

Unlike Shen Zhiyi, who always acts superior, she's just lucky to have been born into a better family. She always thinks that buying herself some jewelry and clothes gives her the right to interfere in other people's affairs, which is really annoying.

"I'm so reluctant to part with you," Song Ruoying said with a mournful face.

"It's alright. I'll definitely come to find you when I have the chance to come to the capital again." Lin Yaoyao patted the back of her hand.

Chen Zhiyi scoffed inwardly:

Such deep feelings?

They're probably all heartless and ruthless people; they can only get along with each other if they find someone like them.

Lin Yaoyao was bidding a reluctant farewell to her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, looking very reluctant to part. Shen Zhiyi was just sitting in the hall drinking tea, while the old lady had already returned to her room to worship Buddha.

Her maids from the Marquis's residence were at Xuanfang Courtyard helping her pack her luggage.

During her time at the Marquis's residence, with the secret financial support of her mother-in-law and Song Yuxiu, she acquired quite a few things.

Just as these people were immersed in the somber mood of their impending separation, a maid rushed in: "Madam—"

"Shouting and yelling like that, what kind of behavior is this!" Madam Chen frowned.

"I...we..." the maid stammered.

"I asked you to help Miss Lin pack her luggage, and you haven't finished yet?" the mother-in-law said angrily.

“No,” the maid shook her head, “we found your jewelry in Miss Lin’s room.”

Shen Zhiyi took a sip of tea.

Chen was speechless. "Miss Lin is my savior. I gave her some jewelry. Is it really necessary to make such a fuss?"

"Madam, it's not those you sent..." The maid looked at Lin Yaoyao, her face showing embarrassment.

"What exactly is it?" Song Ruoying was already reluctant to part with Lin Yaoyao and was having a private conversation with her with red eyes. Seeing the maid's lack of tact, she was naturally dissatisfied.

"It's the jewelry that Madam lost during her robbery; it was found under the bed!"

As soon as the words were spoken,

It was as if a huge wave had suddenly been stirred up on a calm sea. Everyone had different expressions, but Shen Zhiyi remained calm.

Lin Yaoyao...

I hope you like this parting gift.
