Seeing that the man in blue did not object, Mei Kaiye began to look him up and down. He kept his head down, his gaze fixed on the small wine cup.
The hand holding the cup was slender, with distinct knuckles. The drooping eyelids concealed his eye’s expression. From Mei Kaiye’s angle, the man’s long eyelashes fluttered, catching the light and shining brightly.
“Hmm, young man, your family must be wealthy, surely with many wives and children…” Mei Kaiye swallowed the rest of the sentence.
The guards remained expressionless, but their eyes couldn’t hide their contempt.
“Hmm,” the man responded, raising his eyes to glance at Mei Kaiye before lowering them again, “So tell me, when can I find her?”
“Your beloved?”
The man nodded, his eyes flashing.
Mei Kaiye calculated, “Within a year.”
“Will she forgive me?”
Mei Kaiye sighed, “I cannot say clearly. The human heart is unpredictable.”
“Hmm.”
The man fell silent again. Mei Kaiye grew impatient and advised, “Young man, don’t go out the day after tomorrow. It’s extremely unlucky. Only by staying home can you avoid disaster.”
The man nodded, “Okay.”
“Then I’ll take my leave,” Mei Kaiye said, glancing at the man again, implying, “Hurry up and pay me!”
Unexpectedly, the man continued staring at the wine cup, his gaze complex, lost in thought, with no intention of paying. Mei Kaiye felt frustrated and stepped in front of him, “Since I’ve informed you and helped you resolve your difficulties, surely you wouldn’t…
“Mei Kaiye extended his hand, ‘Where’s the money?’
‘Something seems fishy,’ Fei Zhou said in a low voice.
‘Anyway, the money has changed hands,’ Mei Kai Ye pulled him, ‘Let’s go, let’s go, we’ll pay and go home.’
Fei Zhou was still thinking, ‘In any case, something is not right about this matter. I must tell the Crown Prince about it when we get back.’
‘Ah, okay!’ She wanted to show off her great achievements. ‘But he was really easy to fool.’
‘…Let’s go.’
Unbeknownst to them, these words were overheard by someone greedy.
After returning home, Mei Kai Ye took a bath and slept soundly.”
The next day, there was some commotion in the mansion, so she followed the noise and was startled when she looked.
