Chapter 212 Qiu Fu



Seeing this, another servant quickly went in to report.

After searching for a long time, they finally found Tie Niu at the horse farm.

When Tie Niu saw him rushing over, he put Xiao Lian aside and stepped forward to ask, "What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"

“A groom outside the door started arguing with our men.”

Tie Niu was somewhat speechless, so he asked, "What's going on?"

"I don't know who he came to pick up, but he spat at the door and our people got into an argument with him."

"Who is so arrogant as to curse at our doorstep?"

"Do you want to go out and take a look?"

Tie Niu looked back at Xiao Lian, then at Su Lixia, and said, "I guess it's his coachman who's here. He's hired this guy. Businessmen inevitably have these kinds of emotions. Wait for me for a bit. Once I'm done here, I'll take them with me."

"yes."

The horse-walking session ended quickly, and then Tie Niu walked over to Su Lixia and asked, "Your groom probably arrived quite early, and it's already dark. I guess the business owners are getting impatient. I'll see you out, and you should hurry back. Remember to come earlier next time."

Upon hearing this, Su Lixia exclaimed that things were going to get messed up: "We usually use our own carriage, but we're using an outside carriage today, and we're not used to it yet. We've already forgotten that it's a rented carriage. If the person is getting impatient, won't they yell at me?"

"No, we can just give him more money. He's in this business, and you're here, so he should understand why you can stay out so late."

Su Lixia nodded and said, "That's true. I'll be going now."

“I will go out with you.”

"No need, no need, we can go out by ourselves. You guys should pack up and go home too."

Tie Niu smiled and said, "I'll just drop you off and then head back. You don't need to pack anything here."

Su Lixia then understood and nodded, saying, "Alright then."

When they reached the door, the two were still arguing.

Seeing this, Tie Niu frowned and walked over: "Hehehe! What are you guys doing?"

"Young master, this man is cursing in the street and is being unreasonable," the servant said, pointing at the coachman.

Su Lixia became a little nervous when she saw that it was her coachman. Could it be that he was cursing because I was late?

"What's going on?" Su Lixia asked as she stepped forward.

“Young master, you only came out a little late, and this man is already hurling insults at you.”

The man pointed at him and retorted, "Don't talk nonsense to me. I just made a comment, and you exaggerated it into you saying I was cursing. It's just a small matter, but you've turned it into a big deal."

Su Lixia was immediately embarrassed, realizing that it really was because of her.

"Oh dear, it seems it was all a misunderstanding. It's inevitable to complain during work breaks. As long as it's not too serious, it's all understandable. Besides, I did come out a bit too late. Here's what I'll do: I'll give you some extra money, let's hurry back."

The man snorted at the servant, then looked at Su Lixia and said, "Young master, there's no need to pay extra. This is nothing more than what we should do. Young master, hurry inside. The road at night is not easy to travel, so let's go back as soon as possible."

In principle, if you are too late, you should be charged extra. It seems that this person can't stand being seen as polite, which is why he wouldn't let Su Lixia pay extra.

"Brother Tie Niu, we'll head back now. See you next time!" Su Lixia and Xiao Lian waved to him.

When they arrived at the destination, Su Lixia still asked Xiaolian to give him extra money.

"It's common for young men to have these kinds of problems. Don't take it to heart. If this happens again, just pay more. After all, people who rent carriages to travel are usually rich young men, so they won't be shortchanged by your amount."

This man harbored some resentment towards the rich, and was already somewhat impatient upon arriving at the destination. He replied perfunctorily, "Alright, thank you for the reminder, young master. We will definitely be more careful in the future and make sure we don't offend rich kids like you."

Su Lixia was taken aback. It seemed that what she had said earlier was not quite right. Just as she was about to explain, he drove the carriage away.

"Princess, where shall we go now?"

"I doubt any tailor shops or clothing stores will be open by now, so let's head back, pack up, and go another day."

Xiao Lian nodded and said, "Then we need to go back to the teahouse to take the carriage."

Su Lixia raised an eyebrow, puzzled: "Shouldn't the carriage be at the inn?"

"We only paid for one night, so I guess the carriage won't be allowed to stop. But if we go to the teahouse, it seems like we can just leave the carriage there as long as we have tea, and then they can take it away after everyone leaves."

“Okay.” Su Lixia paused and said, “Where are our clothes? Let’s change first before we go.”

“Princess, you forgot that we changed our clothes in the carriage, so Little Lotus put her hands in the carriage.”

Upon hearing this, Su Lixia was a little dumbfounded: "If he saw me dressed like this, he would be terrified."

"Princess, don't worry. I'll go over first, then let him go aside for a while, and then you can go in afterward. That should be fine."

Su Lixia reached out and praised her, saying, "As expected of you, let's hurry up and go."

"yes."

They boarded the carriage without incident, but the driver wasn't used to heading to the princess's residence, and they ended up at the regent's residence instead.

Su Lixia had changed her clothes in the car early on, and when she came out, she was already wearing a straw hat.

Xiaolian looked around at her surroundings and felt very unfamiliar with them.

The coachman explained, "This is a side entrance; it's close to our lodgings and easy to get to."

Xiao Lian suddenly realized and nodded, saying, "I see."

Once inside, Xiaolian and Su Lixia felt increasingly uneasy.

"Xiao Lian, don't you think this place looks familiar?"

Xiao Lian nodded and said, "Princess, not only does it look familiar, but we've also stayed here before. It seems to be the Regent's Palace."

Su Lixia peeked through the curtain and said speechlessly, "Could this coachman be from the Regent's Palace? How did he end up here? It seems he's not used to going to the Princess's Palace. He's probably here out of habit."

"Princess, what should we do now?"

"Let's head back home."

However, as soon as they turned around, they heard someone calling them. When they turned around, they found that it was the female lead, Xue Yurou.

"Greetings, Princess." Xue Yurou greeted her politely.

Su Lixia raised her hand and said, "Get up, get up."

"I was just passing by when I thought I heard the princess say that the coachman went the wrong way."

"Well, you could say that."

"Then why doesn't the princess stay at the manor for the night? After all, it's getting late," Xue Yurou invited her.

Su Lixia waved her hand: "No need, let's go back quickly."
