"Back to the manor." Gu Zhixing took a long stride and jumped into the carriage.
The carriage slowly started moving in the night, heading towards the Princess's residence.
The wheels rolled over the bluestone pavement, making a soft and rhythmic "creak" sound.
When he arrived home, Gu Zhixing jumped off the carriage and looked around but couldn't find Shen Jintang.
"Where is Shen Jintang?" he asked.
