Chapter 789: Egg Against Stone

Long Yi was at a loss for words. The Master always acted unexpectedly.

One could only hope that he wouldn't regret this decision someday.

As evening approached, the birthday banquet concluded, and the guests who had come to celebrate the birthday filed out of the Imperial Palace.

Xuexue, accompanied by Zi Xia, also prepared to leave the palace.

At this moment, Zhang Ruixuan, followed by a servant boy, came over with a smile and said, "Miss Situ, it is getting late. Why don't I offer you a ride back to your mansion?"

"Thank you, Fourth Prince, but there's no need. We at the Situ Mansion have a carriage."

"However, I just heard from a little eunuch that the Second Miss Situ has already taken the carriage home. He mentioned that only one carriage was brought when you arrived."

Xuexue then realized why Situ Qinger had left in such a hurry; she had wanted to take the carriage before her.
