Chapter 324 - 323: Recognizing Each Other
After finishing hot pot, Chu Lingxuan accompanied Afu to Silver Tower to purchase some jewelry and ornaments, and had Luo Yuan buy some local delicacies and specialties from Capital City. They had basically purchased everything needed for their return to their hometown.
However, if Six-finger Wang really was connected to Wang Cheng, they would not be able to return to their hometown on the scheduled date of the 21st.
That night, Afu spent it anxiously waiting.
Early the next morning, Afu made a lot of egg tarts again. This time, she didn’t use mangoes. There were only a few mangoes left, which she planned to take back to Tang Garden. She made Thousand-Layer Pastry Egg Tarts, and added some raisins for a different flavor.
She made rather a lot. Besides feeding the family, she sent forty to the Empress Dowager and another twenty to the Royal Rui. However, she did not send any to Mrs. Li. Since she had already torn her face with Mrs. Li, Afu no longer treated her politely. Afu was the rightful mistress of the Inner Courtyard of Marquis’ Mansion. She wouldn’t let a concubine bully her.
After finishing, she started packing again. If Six-finger Wang wasn’t connected to Wang Cheng, they would leave the Capital City tomorrow afternoon. They would stay overnight at Tong County and take a boat back to Dingzhou early the next day.
In the late morning, the scouts sent to investigate the situation returned. Not only did they return, but they also brought along Six-Finger Wang. Chu Lingxuan had them report directly to him at the Bamboo Pavilion.
There was a shield set up in the hall. Chu Lingxuan received the two men outside the shield, while Afu hid and spied from the other side of the screen.
