Chapter 137: Settle_1

After a while, the side door suddenly opened again, and the same maid who delivered the message earlier came out. Tongji's heart sank: "Where is Chun Yan? Can she not come out?"

"Don't worry, Chun Yan will come soon. I just didn't want you to wait too long, so I came to let you know. You have no idea... it took a lot of effort to avoid everyone's eyes and deliver your message to her," the maid said, folding her hands and smiling.

Tongji despised her inwardly. Wasn't it just for silver?!

Tongji pulled out a few pieces of broken silver from his chest and handed them to the maid, unable to disguise his disdain. He didn't even bother with polite conversation, his frost-bitten face tensed up tightly.

The maid joyfully accepted the silver and, after thanking him, slipped back through the side door and shut it behind her.
