The steward took the medicine and excitedly said to Shen Yingying, "Your Highness, this medicine is too miraculous. This old servant is reluctant to drink it."
Don't be stingy, I prepared this medicine myself, it's just that it's inconvenient right now and the herbs are hard to come by.
Once I reach the desert and have access to medicinal herbs, I will prepare some more.
"Your Highness, how fortunate our Prince is to marry you."
Haha, your prince is very good too.
"Alright, it's getting late, I have to go back."
The butler was curious about how the princess had come out, so he chimed in with his own words.
"Your Highness, how did you get out of prison?"
When the housekeeper brought up the issue, Shen Yingying gave a mischievous smile.
"Of course they were all drugged and brought to their senses."
Upon hearing the word "dizzy," the butler's heart began to tremble.
He thought to himself, "I must never offend my little princess, or I'll die without even knowing how..."
"Alright, butler, I'm leaving. Please keep an eye on things from here on out."
Yes, Your Highness, this old servant understands, please rest assured.
With this worry over, Shen Yingying slowly walked down the deserted street.
In ancient times, there were no modern streetlights to guide people on the streets.
Therefore, the nights in ancient times appeared particularly dark.
As Shen Yingying walked along the road, she thought to herself, "I'm going to be exiled tomorrow, so I have to go see this body's scumbag father and ask about my stepmother's health, don't I?"
So she used her wind magic to head towards the Prime Minister's residence.
In no time, Shen Yingying arrived at the Prime Minister's residence and entered it discreetly.
The same useless guards patrolled back and forth in the darkness.
Shen Yingying entered Shen Wantong's study as if it were her own home.
Just as Shen Yingying had guessed, Prime Minister Shen Wantong was still awake.
In the study, Shen Wantong was talking to the new housekeeper, but Shen Yingying couldn't hear what he was saying.
So Shen Yingying teleported to the study invisibly.
"Master, tomorrow is the day the young lady is to be exiled. Will you... go out to see her off?"
Why give away something useless? What's the point of having it?
I'll write a letter of severance later, and we'll cut off all ties with her.
The current emperor still thinks we have feelings for that good-for-nothing.
"This...isn't that a bit inappropriate? After all, Prince Zhan is the current emperor's own younger brother. What if..."
There's no such thing as "what if". We live in a peaceful and prosperous era. People would rather their good younger brother disappear from the world than care about family ties.
"That's true. Then, sir, if you write it now, I'll deliver it to you personally tomorrow?"
Hmm, butler, grind the ink...
The butler quickly ground the ink.
Shen Wantong rolled up the sleeve of his right arm with his left hand, and with his right hand, he boldly picked up a calligraphy brush, dipped it in ink, and began to write on the paper.
A short while later, Shen Wantong finished writing the letter severing ties with his family, put down his brush, picked up the paper, and blew on it.
Once the paper was completely dry, Shen Wantong stamped his personal seal on the bottom of the paper and then handed the letter severing ties to the steward.
Butler, take this. Give it to that useless piece of trash tomorrow.
"Yes, sir."
The butler took Shen Wantong's letter of severance of kinship, folded it, and tucked it into his sleeve.
Master, if there's nothing else, I'll go back to rest.
Shen Wantong waved his hand, "Go..."
After the butler left, Shen Wantong rubbed his hands together and quickly got up to lock the door to his study.
He excitedly opened his old darkroom.
This dark room may contain the gold and silver treasures he just transported from the estate today.
He should really take a good look at it.
Shen Wantong took the oil lamp from the table and went directly into the opened dark room.
