Steward Qi smiled. "Come out."
Old Bai emerged from the shadows. "That little girl was afraid of scaring you, so she asked me to put this piece of paper on your bed first. She said that when you see this paper, you'll know that she sent someone to find you."
(The reasons are explained in Chapters 15 and 16.)
Steward Qi smiled. "That little girl is quite thoughtful. What did she ask you to do here?"
"That little girl asked me to let you know you're safe and sound. Also, if you don't want to stay in the palace anymore, go find her. She'll guarantee your safety and make sure you live comfortably."
"No, thank you." He didn't want to be old and still have to put on a beard to fool himself. "Thank her for me."
"Alright. I'll come in and see you every ten days and chat with you."
Steward Qi was somewhat surprised. "Aren't you going back to find her?"
"That heartless little brat got me a shop in the capital."
Steward Qi laughed upon hearing this. "She asked you to gather information for her in the capital?"
"Yeah. I also have to protect you. Honestly, I'm all alone, how can I manage?"
"What did she ask you to sell? Purchase items from people I have in the palace."
"No need. That heartless little brat said you don't need to worry about this kind of thing."
Steward Qi's smile widened. Only those who are willing to make money can achieve great things. "Tell her that the Emperor's health is failing, and it's only a year or two away from ending."
"Okay. I must have owed her something in my past life. I hate staying in one place the most."
Steward Qi chuckled softly a few times. "How did you two meet?"
"...A true hero doesn't dwell on past glories. Well then, you should rest. I'll come see you again in ten days."
After saying that, Lao Bai slipped away.
Steward Qi looked at the paper in his hand again before putting it into the charcoal brazier to burn.
It's quite interesting to have met someone like this at the very end.
Time flies, and the New Year is just around the corner.
You have to buy New Year's goods for the Spring Festival.
When Grandpa Yun woke up, he saw Grandma Yun counting silver.
While counting, she kept muttering, "How come there's so little left? How come there's so little left? What are we going to do? What are we going to do? We can't just ask Xiao Liu for more, can we? Sigh! Sigh! Sigh! How come there's so little left? Sigh! Sigh!..."
Grandpa Yun: "..."
