Su Chen returned to the servant's room and saw Butler Wang coming out of her room from a distance.
I have some doubts in my heart. Unless there is something important, Butler Wang usually doesn't come to the servant's room.
Thinking about it, she walked towards her, but before she could say anything, Butler Wang saw that it was her, a smile appeared on his usually stern face, and he said sincerely: "I have handed Hu Lan the contract of sale between you and Hu Lan.
It’s in your hands, you can leave at any time.”
Su Chen's head buzzed and he didn't react, but Butler Wang had already walked away.
After being stunned for a while, I finally understood what Butler Wang said. At this moment, for some reason, I felt particularly lost.
It was obvious that she was the one who was shouting to leave all day long, but when she really wanted to leave, she felt extremely lonely.
Butler Wang's intention was very clear. He had come here with a deed of betrayal. That meant that from now on, she and Hu Lan were both free and no longer servants of Prince Li.
After taking off her slave status, Su Chen was not as happy and relaxed as she had imagined. On the contrary, her chest seemed to be pressed by a huge stone, making her a little breathless.
She was a little afraid to enter the house, so she found a place to sit in the yard.
Leaving here means that she will never come back, and it is really impossible for her and Xia Li...
The setting sun slowly sank from the other side of the mountain.
Su Chen sat on the stone, hugged his knees with his hands, rested his pointed chin on his knees, and did not get up for a long time.
Maybe her feelings for Xia Li were not deep enough, so when he reached out to her and wanted to use the country as a pledge of love, she resolutely refused. Because she knew that once she chose to be with him, she would be
Involved in the disputes over imperial power.
It's not that she doesn't believe in Xia Li's strength, maybe he is destined to achieve hegemony. In the future, he will belong to the Xia Dynasty. But before that, the blood of countless people needs to be sacrificed for his path to imperial power.
Taste.
She is just a soul from modern times and should not be involved in this competition for the throne.
Perhaps, it was because she came from modern times that she could so coldly refuse the hand Xia Li offered to her.
Recalling the image of her resolute rejection of Xia Li in the morning, she thought about it now and felt that she was indeed cruel.
In order to be able to stay out of trouble and live a free and worry-free life, she kept the person she liked out of her heart.
From here the road leads back to the road, and the bridge leads to the bridge.
Maybe she should leave the imperial capital. Now that she has decided to draw a clear line with Xia Li, she should do it more thoroughly.
The country is so beautiful that it attracts countless heroes to bow down!
Throughout the ages, how many heroes have died under that throne?
She smiled bitterly. Nightingale was missing. She originally wanted to ask Xia Li for help, but now she could only give up the idea because he asked Butler Wang to deliver the deed of betrayal, which meant that he would never see her again, right?
She stood up and looked up at the darkening sky, feeling melancholy for no reason.
When I walked into the house, I saw Hu Lan sitting blankly at the table, holding something in her hand, wondering what she was thinking. He didn't even notice that she had walked in.
"Auntie." Su Chen approached and called out in a low voice.
Hu Lan suddenly came back to her senses, saw Su Chen standing in front of her, and quickly put away the strange expression on her face.
"You're back?"
"Yes." Su Chen nodded and his eyes fell on the paper in Hu Lan's hand. The paper was slightly yellowed and it looked like it had been there for some time. "Is that a deed of betrayal?"
Hu Lan sighed slightly before nodding, "Yes, Butler Wang sent it over just now."
"I know, I met him outside the door." Su Chen looked at her abnormal expression and asked, "Is Auntie not ready to leave yet?"
Hu Lan's eyes fell on her young face and she couldn't help but said: "Girl Chen, do we really want to leave here?"
Su Chen was startled by the question, sat down at the table and said softly "Hmm".
When Hu Lan heard this, she finally couldn't hold back the questions in her heart, "Why do you have to leave? I can see that the prince really likes you, you..."
Su Chen's expression changed and he sat there without speaking.
Hu Lan looked at her face. She originally had many questions, but she finally didn't say them out.
After a long while, Su Chen said: "Auntie, I rejected him. So I have to leave."
Hu Lan stared at her with a strange look on her face, and suddenly took out a stack of banknotes from her arms, "The prince asked Butler Wang to deliver this."
Su Chen looked around and saw that Hu Lan was indeed holding a handful of thick banknotes in his hand, and there was a big pile of them.
"Is it our wages?" she asked in a daze. For the first time, she didn't feel very excited when she saw so much money, because she vaguely knew the origin of the money.
Hu Lan shook his head, with complicated eyes, "How can our wages be so high?"
Su Chen understood what Hu Lan meant. This was the severance package Xia Li gave them.
She nodded, "Then just keep it, aunt. We really need a lot of money to leave here."
The corner of Hu Lan's mouth twitched, "Do you really want to accept this money?"
Su Chen was puzzled, "Why don't you accept it? They have already given it to us, do you want to reject their kindness?"
When she said this, she completely forgot how decisive she was when she rejected Xia Li that morning?
Hu Lan was ashamed. She thought Su Chen would at least be polite, and at least the money was not a small amount. Unexpectedly, she asked her to accept it so naturally, and she was immediately speechless.
Seeing her sitting there stupidly with the banknotes in her pocket, Su Chen suddenly rolled his eyes and said, "Auntie, put the banknotes away quickly. Although we are leaving the palace, the money should not be revealed. We should keep a low profile. Don't worry about it.
When I left the palace, I was robbed."
Hu Lan hesitated, but put the banknote back into his arms without any further hesitation.
"Since everyone has sent over the deed of betrayal, we can no longer live here. Let's leave early tomorrow morning." After Su Chen finished speaking, he turned around and went to pack his things.
Hu Lan couldn't help but frown when she saw that she didn't give him any regrets. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly stood up and said, "I'm going out for a while."
"Oh." Su Chen responded casually and continued to pack her things, not noticing the difference in Hu Lan's expression at all.
Hu Lan left the servant's room, stood and thought for a moment, and finally walked in the direction of Jifeng Residence.
Stay in the wind.
Xia Li came out of the study, her long eyebrows on her temples were frowned and never loosened.
On this day, he sat in his study and didn't even read a word.
…
Something went wrong yesterday, so I couldn't update. I'm really sorry!
