"Master Huang, he left last night."

"What, he's gone?"

I was shocked, and the waiter in the shop nodded: "Well, Mr. Huang said that he had something to do and wouldn't be back. There is something on the bedside for you, so you must see it."

After saying that, he bowed to me, turned around and walked out.

I stood blankly for a while, then slowly walked to the bedside while holding on to the wall, reached out and touched, and sure enough I found a bulging cloth bag on the outside of the pillow, and a clanging sound came from inside.

Is it——silver?!

I hurriedly reached in and touched it. Sure enough, there was a whole bag of broken silver. Although it was all small ingots, it was still heavy when I picked it up. It was at least fifty taels. This was only one tael for a medium-sized family.

Year’s expenses!

I couldn't regain my senses for a while, and I sat stupidly on the edge of the bed, my vision was foggy, my fingertips were trembling as I rubbed the silver ingots, and something indescribable was surging in my heart, like a flame that was extinguishing.

Finally it slowly rose up.

At this moment, I suddenly realized something——

I have such a sum of money in my hand, and I have already left the palace!

In other words, I am free?!

This sudden thought shocked me for a moment, as if I couldn't believe that all this was true. However, I had indeed left the palace; the people in the palace must have regarded me as dead and would never come back.

Take care of me; even, I suddenly have so much money!

I am really free!

"Ha..."

I let out a bewildered laugh, held a silver ingot tightly in my hand, and slowly placed it on my chest.

But something hot dripped down and landed on the hand with a splash. It immediately turned into a faint trace and disappeared...

I have stayed in this inn for several days, and this is the first time I go out. As soon as I walk to the corridor, I hear a commotion below. Someone is shouting for wine, the waiters are shouting to serve the food, and the shopkeeper is urging me impatiently.

There are also some flower-selling girls’ delicate cries——

On the tip of my nose, I can even smell the spiciness of burning knives and the faint burnt aroma of fried rice.

This is sour and sweet, the taste of life.

I stood in the corridor and looked at everything vaguely. It was so ordinary, but so precious. After a while, I held back the tears that were about to burst out of my eyes, and walked down cautiously while holding on to the railing.

At this time, a person walked up to me and said with concern: "Girl, why are you out? Be careful——!"

As soon as I said this, I suddenly missed my footing and he hurriedly supported me.

This voice sounded familiar to me. It was the waiter who had been serving in the guest room these days. He was quite kind, so I smiled and said, "Thank you, second brother."

"If you have anything to do, leave it to me. If your eyes are inconvenient, don't go out."

"Little brother, I want to leave, where can I pay for the room?"

"House payment? Mr. Huang has already paid it, and it's been paid for half a year in advance. I'm living with you, girl, why do you want to leave?"

The rent payment for half a year has been paid in advance? Are you worried that my eyesight will not recover, so you arranged this for me?

A warm current surged through my heart again, which made me choke a little. This Mr. Huang is really a good man. I will only be able to repay such help in my next life.

"Thank you, little brother, I'll go then."
