Chapter 4

Chi Yang didn’t bring anyone with her when she went to the Autumn Pavilion. The main reason was that these servants slept better than her, who had worked hard the entire night.

Thus, when Chi Yang returned to her own courtyard silently, the servant girl who had gone to inform Chi Yao of the news panicked when she saw Chi Yang return from outside. She knelt down with a whoosh.

Chi Yang was speechless.

‘Am I that scary?’

Before Chi Yang could figure out the reason why this little servant girl was kneeling to her, with a thud, a silver ingot fell out of the little servant girl’s sleeve.

‘Wow! So he had a guilty conscience!’

“Do all of you have such a generous monthly salary?” Chi Yang asked despite knowing the answer.

Although Chi Yang was an art student in her previous life, she still had some common sense. A first-class servant girl from a wealthy family only earned one tael of silver a month. And this little servant girl was just a cleaner in the courtyard.

It was obvious that this was someone Chi Yao had planted beside her.

Chi Yang looked around. There were not many people working in the courtyard.

She couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, ‘How could she be doing so badly?’

However, the job of training the servants should be left to someone else. She was a little tired and needed to rest.

Chi Yang returned to her bedroom without saying anything else.

The little servant girl was afraid that Chi Yang would discover something, so she did not dare to get up and just knelt on the spot.

Chi Yang was lying on the bed. She was very tired, but she tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. The moment she closed her eyes, she could see how Shen Juan had worked hard last night.

She sighed. How could she covet the female lead’s man?

This was not good, this was not good.

Chi Yang shook her head. She finally knew why she couldn’t fall asleep. She got up, picked up the note under her pillow, and left.

Chi Yao, who was far away in the Autumn Pavilion fawning over Xiao Lianyi, naturally didn’t know about these things.

…

The shopkeeper took the note and sized up the woman in front of him who was wearing a curtained hat and a green embroidered dress. Although he couldn’t see her facial features clearly, judging from the woman’s extraordinary temperament and her low-key and luxurious clothes, she must have come from a noble family.

He did not know when their prince had become enlightened.

He really should tell this happy news to His and Her Highness in Yanzhou!

Chi Yang didn’t know what the shopkeeper was thinking. She pursed her lips as she looked at the shopkeeper, whose worried expression became happy after reading the note.

He didn’t look very smart.

“Miss, please go upstairs!” The shopkeeper returned to his senses and led Chi Yang to the second floor.

The address that Shen Juan had given her was a bookstore. There were many kinds of books on sale, including myths and legends, divination, the classics, novels, beauty manuals, shop management, ancient Chinese divination, and farming… Everything was available.

As a result, the store hosted all kinds of people, from dignitaries, peddlers, soldiers, and Jianghu chivalrous men… Chi Yang didn’t stand out in this place.

Following the shopkeeper, Chi Yang arrived at an ordinary private room.

“Miss, the person you’re looking for is inside. He’s been waiting for you for a long time.”

The shopkeeper first knocked on the door, and after asking for instructions, he pushed the door open and invited Chi Yang in.

Has he been waiting for a long time?

Why did he have to wait for her? Was he sure that she would come looking for him?

Shen Juan had indeed been sitting here waiting for Chi Yang since early in the morning.

Or rather, from the moment he left the note and left the Chi Residence, he had been waiting for Chi Yang to come.

After all, women were always at a disadvantage in such matters. If Chi Yang made a request, no matter what it was, he would always agree.

Shen Juan also faintly felt that he should have guessed what kind of request Chi Yang would make. After all, the blood-stained bedding was still in the cabinet in this room and had not been destroyed in time.

Chi Yang entered and looked at the man sitting on the chair. She didn’t even think about whether the shopkeeper had left or not and said, “Prepare a bowl of cold medicine for me.”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he almost knelt down.

My goodness, their prince is really doing great things quietly…

Looking up and seeing the prince’s gloomy face, the shopkeeper quickly got up and closed the door.

No matter how much Shen Juan thought, he never expected Chi Yang to beg him for this.

Chi Yang looked at Shen Juan’s tightly knitted brows and wondered if she had said something wrong. Could it be that there was no such thing as cold medicine in this world?

Chi Yang’s eyes widened as she looked at Shen Juan probingly. “Do you know about the child-avoiding soup?”

After saying this, Chi Yang sized up Shen Juan again and found that his face had darkened even more.

Chi Yang decided to go all out, “What kind of contraceptive methods do you have here?”
