Nan Yi realized he had said something foolish, so he straightened his expression and asked, "When will you enter the palace?" Xiao Shunzi hurriedly replied, "The day after tomorrow morning."

"Go and tell the master that he wants me to reflect on my actions. I think it hasn't been long enough, so I'll skip the formalities of returning to the manor. I'll wait for the master in front of the manor at 3 AM the day after tomorrow."

She didn't want to go back. She hadn't had enough fun yet and needed time to prepare. The martial arts tournament in the backyard of the Fourth Prince's mansion always saw top players make a name for themselves.

Besides, when he left that day, he told her to stay in the other courtyard. How could he change his mind so quickly? He changes his mind faster than flipping through a book. She decided not to give him a chance and to make a show of it first. If he wanted her to come back, he would invite her personally, so that he would save face.

"But sir..." Xiao Shunzi tried to persuade him further.

Nan Yi waved his hand to interrupt him, took out a silver note and handed it to him, glancing at him sideways, "How to do it, I don't need to teach you, do I?"

Xiao Shunzi stared at the silver notes in front of him and stammered, "Master said..."

She took out another bill, totaling one hundred taels. Qingyun took it and stuffed it into Xiaoshun's hand, then pushed him away, saying, "I won't keep you for dinner."

One hundred taels for just delivering a message? That's too easy money, you stupid eunuch.

Xiao Shunzi clutched the silver note and turned to leave. It wasn't that he thought it was too little; he just wanted the master to send the concubine back to the manor. Going to the palace was secondary; returning to the manor was the master's wish. But she didn't want to go back at all. The mission wasn't accomplished, and the money was also a pain in the neck.

Watching Xiao Shunzi walk away, Nan Yi sighed, "Money can make the devil turn the millstone; it's really true."

"Girls, stop looking! Hurry and save your master!" It was rare for anyone to visit the villa, and even the eunuchs were a rare sight. They noticed the maids' reluctant gazes. (Thinking wildly)
