Qin's conversation with Shen Feng ended unpleasantly.
Qin was so angry at the words "there is neither a letter of divorce nor a divorce" that her chest heaved.
He raised his head and drank a whole cup of cold tea before he could barely let go of the breath that was stuck in his chest. Then he glared at Chen Feng with a look of disappointment and left in anger.
Shen Feng sat there for a while.
He looked dazed, as if he had lost his soul.
The servant beside him approached cautiously, "Master, can I get you a pot of hot tea?"
Shen Feng finally woke up from his dream, stood up suddenly, and walked outside with big strides.
"Master, master, young master... where are you going?" The servant put down the kettle and hurriedly followed. If he had not seen the navy blue hem of the clothes at the corner, he would have almost lost the person.
No matter how the servant shouted behind him, Shen Feng never stopped.
He turned a deaf ear and continued walking forward with big strides.
The servant had no choice but to follow closely behind him.
The two walked from Xuanwu Street where nobles gathered, to Changping Street where civil officials gathered, and then to Nancheng where common people lived.
It was evening, an hour before the city gate was closed, and the street was crowded with people. The servant almost lost Shen Feng several times.
"My Lord, we are just ahead of us at Kanglefang. It's a mess in there. Let's turn back..."
"My Lord, please listen to my advice. The capital is in chaos recently, especially Kanglefang, where all kinds of people are mixed. It is not a place for someone of your status to go."
"It will be dark soon. If you don't come back, the Marquis's wife will be worried..."
Shen Feng’s pace, which had been slowing down, quickened again after hearing the words “Madam Hou”.
The servant was left behind.
He raised his hand and slapped himself on the face. Look at his mouth, he was really talking about things that were irrelevant. How could he forget that the Marquis's wife and the Young Master had just had an argument? What the Young Master couldn't stand to hear the Marquis's wife's name the most at this moment!
"Hey, my Lord, please wait for me...it's so chaotic ahead!"
Passing by Kanglefang, there were obviously fewer people walking in a hurry.
It was not yet dark, and Kanglefang was not really bustling yet. Only a few women with fur-collared coats and heavy makeup could be seen scattered along the roadside, occasionally winking at passers-by.
This was not the first time that Chen Feng came to Kanglefang. Before he got married, he was brought here to play twice by other sons of noble families.
However, he was not very interested in these women from red-light districts. These vulgar women were not comparable to the person he once held dear to his heart, and were even not as good as the dull and boring "wife of the former prince" whom he was unwilling to even look at.
While thinking about random things, I walked forward.
Shen Feng suddenly bumped into a man who was running hurriedly from the corner of the street.
Their shoulders collided and the other person staggered and fell forward. He reached out and pulled hard, knocking down another woman who was rushing to the ground.
The oil-paper bag in the woman's arms also fell to the ground.
The man who bumped into Chen Feng's shoulder was a tall and strong man in a gray cloth coat. He glanced coldly at the woman sitting on the ground, and then glared at Chen Feng with a wicked look.
"How do you walk without eyes?"
Shen Feng hadn’t reacted yet.
The woman who had fallen to the ground came to her senses first and glared at the burly man with some resentment, "Let's talk about your business later. If you hadn't pulled my clothes just now, I wouldn't have fallen... I have precious medicinal herbs in my arms. If I get bumped or scratched, can you afford to pay for it?"
"Hey, you little bitch, do you still want to blackmail me?"
"You were the one who pulled me here in the first place. If you don't believe me, ask this young master..."
Having said this, the woman's voice suddenly stopped.
I was so close that I could almost hear her gasp.
Then she stood up hurriedly, not bothering to find fault with the burly man, covered her face with a towel, picked up the scattered medicine bags on the ground, and ran out of Kanglefang.
"Xiu Tao, you are Xiu Tao, right?"
Shen Feng had just collided with the burly man and his shoulder was hurt. He hadn't recovered yet and was standing against the wall.
After hearing the woman's voice, he looked over there.
The woman was wearing a veil, so her appearance could not be clearly seen, but her voice was exactly the same as that of the maid who came with Xue Linglong as a dowry, and her figure was also very similar.
Chen Feng was only 70% sure at first, but when the woman glanced at him, stopped talking as if she had seen a ghost, and then turned and ran away, the 70% certainty suddenly turned into certainty.
This woman with an arm full of medicinal herbs must be Xue Linglong's maid, that's right!
"Xiu Tao, stop!"
Ignoring the pain in his shoulder, Shen Feng rushed forward to chase after him.
He had only taken two steps when he was grabbed by the burly man.
"Where are you running to? You hit me and haven't paid me yet, don't even think about getting away like this!"
“Take it.” Shen Feng untied the purse from his waist and threw it over.
The sturdy man squeezed it hard and found that there were no copper coins inside, but whole pieces of "stuff", or at least silver.
When they opened it, they found that besides a few pieces of silver, there were actually two gold ingots inside!
His face lit up with joy immediately, and he let go of Shen Feng's hand.
"Young Master is so generous!"
"Goodbye!"
The servant who was chasing Chen Feng almost fainted when he saw this scene.
The prince really doesn't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are. What is the situation of their mansion now? How can he be so lenient?
You know, the gold and silver in that purse are worth at least dozens of taels, which is equivalent to the living expenses of an ordinary family for several months!
The servant wanted to argue with the burly man and get the points back, but his own young master had already chased the woman and ran out of Kanglefang.
The servant stamped his feet in anxiety. After all, the safety of the prince was more important. Anyway, the wasted money was given out by the prince, so it could not be blamed on a servant like him.
Thinking of this, he gave the burly man a look that said "you're lucky", and then hurriedly chased in the direction where Shen Feng left.
As soon as I reached the street corner, I saw Shen Feng standing there, motionless, as if he had lost his soul again.
"My Lord?"
“…”
"Master, Xiutao followed your wife... and followed Xue to the Ling family's villa. How could she appear in a place like Kanglefang? You must have recognized the wrong person." The servant advised softly.
I was thinking in my heart whether I should find a way to transfer away from the prince.
The prince is acting crazy every day, which is really tiring.
Hearing the servant's words, Shen Feng frowned deeper and deeper.
There was no way he could have made a mistake; the woman just now was Cui Tao beside Linglong!
From what she said, it seemed that her arms were full of medicinal herbs.
Could it be, could it be... Linglong is sick?
