Chapter 496 Extra - They Should Be Husband and Wife
The next day.
Shu Tong got up early, took a set of gray servant's clothes from Haitang and changed into them. She tied her hair up high like a servant and casually tied it with a strip of cloth. Then she begged Haitang to take her out.
"My lord, please reconsider. If His Highness finds out about this, the consequences will be unimaginable..."
"Haitang, please take me away quickly, before His Highness and the Princess leave, otherwise it would be even more exciting to run into them."
Haitang knew her mistress's temper well enough.
Two words: very stubborn; three words: won't listen to advice.
But I must say that what you said is also true.
His Highness the Crown Prince and the Princess will surely have breakfast before leaving, and by then the young lady will probably have finished her business and returned.
"Alright."
Haitang went back to her room to get a basket and then led Shutong straight to the side gate of Wutong Residence.
There are only two guards here, making it the easiest place to leave.
The door opened, and the guard bowed respectfully, asking, "Is Sister Haitang about to go out?"
Haitang nodded and took out a hot scallion pancake from the basket and handed it to them: "You haven't finished your night shift yet, have you? These pancakes are still warm. Have some to tide you over. I'm going out to buy something."
After working the night shift, the two hungry people smelled the aroma of scallion pancakes in the air and their mouths started to water. Naturally, they didn't notice the exceptionally handsome young man following behind Haitang.
So Shu Tong followed Haitang and left through the side door in a very open and aboveboard manner.
They walked until they reached the main street, and Haitang took out her purse and gave Shutong a piece of silver: "Young master, we don't have much silver left, so you should spend it sparingly."
"Don't you still have quite a bit left in your purse...?"
Haitang hurriedly hid the purse: "How can this be a lot? This is our family's future expenses... I might not even have enough money to buy some fresh vegetables and meat at the market now."
"Alright, alright, look at you being so stingy..." Shu Tong happily put away the loose silver coins: "Go on your way, bye-bye."
"What do you mean by 'white', young master?"
Shu Tong scratched her head: "It's nothing, go ahead."
Haitang glanced around and lowered her voice, "Young master, hurry back. The longer you stay on the street, the longer we'll be in danger."
Shu Tong waved her hand and said she understood, then quickly slipped away.
If Haitang were allowed to talk, she could go on and on for an hour.
Tsk.
Shu Tong disappeared into the crowd in the blink of an eye, and Haitang could only turn around and walk towards the market. Today, her mistress had given her a long list of what kind of hot pot feast they wanted to have that night.
Judging from your explanation, it should be just ordinary antique soup, but the new name you gave it is quite nice.
Shu Tong turned around and, not seeing Haitang's shadow, breathed a sigh of relief. She went directly to the carriage company, hired a carriage, and rushed to the Minister's residence as quickly as possible.
She always returned the handkerchief before Ye Zhiyuan left, thus preventing Ye Zhiyuan from mentioning it to His Highness the Crown Prince.
In short, it's about eliminating even the one in ten thousand possibility.
The carriage sped along the street. Shu Tong opened the curtain slightly and looked at the scenery flashing by outside the window, and she had a slight illusion of riding in a car.
After turning several corners, the carriage stopped in front of a towering wall. The coachman lifted the curtain and said, "Young master, we've arrived."
Shu Tong glanced through the sedan curtain and saw a solemn mansion in the distance, with the three large characters "Minister's Residence" prominently displayed on the gate.
"Is this Minister Ye's residence?" Shu Tong confirmed.
The coachman nodded: "Yes, but parking is not allowed in front of the mansion, so we can only park here. Please walk over, young master."
