Chapter 255: One More
Zheng Nianru was hastily sent back, still in shock, and Nanny Yun’s hands and feet were trembling even now. Seeing the three of them return in such a sorry state, the people in Qishun Building were startled and hurried to attend to their washing and changing of clothes.
"Yin He, where are you going?" asked Xing Yu as she saw Yin He about to leave. They had just managed to escape with their lives, shouldn’t he be resting properly at this time?
"I dropped something; I’m going to pick it up," Yin He said with his head down, looking somewhat apologetic.
"Right, right, you’re thinking correctly. Hurry up then," Xing Yu remembered that the package she had brought with her was now long forgotten and lost in some corner.
It would be bad enough if it were lost, but it would be even more troublesome if someone else picked it up.
"Wait for me, I’ll get the matching tokens from Nanny Yun," said Xing Yu as she walked back inside. Yin He wanted to stop her but couldn’t; in fact, he didn’t need any matching tokens and was not keen on leaving the Imperial Palace.
Elder Can, who had followed along, was eager to try his luck. It seemed that something good had happened today; for the first time in forever, the Young Master had spoken to him upon returning, albeit only three short words—"Come with me." But that was still speaking, wasn’t it?
Elder Can felt that his days had a purpose now. When they arrived, perhaps Young Master would actually listen to him, and naturally, the credit would be his.
Xing Yu returned shortly, stuffing the matching tokens into Yin He’s hand, along with two dry cakes she was holding.
"Go and come back quickly."
Yin He turned and left. Naturally, he was not really going to look for something, but while something did need to be found, he had more important matters to attend to before then.
