Chapter 627: Plenty of Time
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Xue Sifu had been used to Shao Zhongxi’s daily visits during this period of time. Now, he was not used to his sudden absence. He said to Jiang Yue and Xue Yan, “It’s already so late, so he won’t be coming here today, right?”
“Should be.” Xue Yan said.
Jiang Yue thought the same thing.
Even though they said so, the two of them really thought that if they didn’t come today, the possibility of them coming to their shop every day in the future would be very small.
He must have waited for something and left town immediately, right?
Xue Yan and Jiang Yue looked at each other again and had a tacit understanding.
However, to be on the safe side, the two of them did not plan to go home today. They planned to stay in the shop and take a look tomorrow to confirm their thoughts. If Shao Zhongxi did not come tomorrow, only then would they go home.
On one side, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were in their shop. On the other hand,
Shao Zhongxi was still in town. He was drinking tea in the first room of Quanping Inn.
Last night, there were finally sightings of the people from the Ji family and Consort Yi again. Naturally, he could not leave the town immediately, lest the people from the Ji family and Consort Yi became suspicious and thought that he had discovered their spies and knew that he was actually being a bait.
He planned to leave tomorrow.
Now that he was being targeted, he couldn’t go to Xue’s Rice Noodles again to avoid causing trouble.
Although he was still very suspicious of those two children, he could tell that they were not bad. Otherwise, they would not have saved his brother back then.
If they were bad, it would be detrimental to the Shao family. Those two children had already made their move when they knew that his younger brother was the Southern General.
They knew what was going on.
After drinking some more tea, Shao Zhongxi walked to the desk on the other side and wrote a note, instructing the people at Quanping Inn, “When I leave tomorrow, give this note to those two children.”
“Yes, Your Highness!” That person immediately accepted the order.
Shao Zhongxi left town before dawn the next day.
When the Ji family and Consort Yi saw this, they secretly followed him. They all thought that it was because there was nothing here, so he had to go to other suspicious places to find the Crown Prince.
Only when it was confirmed that there were no more people from the Ji family and Consort Yi in the town did someone from Quanping Inn come to deliver a note to Jiang Yue and Xue Yan.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were currently helping to clean the floor of the shop’s main hall, while Xue Sifu and the rest were busy in the backyard. Xue Sifu and the rest naturally did not see anyone coming, only Jiang Yue and Xue Yan did.
The man who was dressed like a commoner walked up to them and cupped his fists at them. “Good morning, I’m from Quanping Inn. This is for you.”
As he spoke, he took out a note.
He didn’t say who gave it to them. After giving it to them, this person left in a hurry.
Xue Yan opened the note, the note was written that there’s still a long way to go.
When Jiang Yue saw this sentence, she was immediately sure that Shao Zhongxi had written this for them. She disliked Shao Zhongxi even more because of this.
However, one thing was certain. Shao Zhongxi had really left town.
When someone leaves, only then would they leave such a note.
Xue Yan was naturally able to confirm this point as well. Sighing almost inaudibly, he said, “Since he wrote this note, he probably won’t send people to keep an eye on us.”
It seemed that they would meet again in the future.
Jiang Yue did not speak.
“Since they’ve already left, let’s tell Xue Sifu about it. We’ve been staying here for a few days. It’s time to go home.” Xue Yan said.
“Okay,” Jiang Yue replied..
