Chapter 770: Concealing the Truth

Shanzi held the silver and felt his heart burning.

He no longer had any doubts at this time. Xing'er really wanted to live with him, otherwise she wouldn't have given him the silver.

He looked at Xing'er's pale lips, and thought of the happiness of last night. He wanted to hug Xing'er and love her well.

Xing'er's face flushed at the sight. She tried to hold back and whispered, "Don't rush to tell your mother about us. When I go back in the evening, I will first find out what my mother thinks. If my mother disagrees, maybe my grandmother will have to persuade her."

"I'll tell you when I've said everything here. Then you can ask your mother to ask a matchmaker to propose marriage."

Shanzi put the silver in his arms and nodded vigorously, "I'll listen to you."

Xing'er lowered her head, "Then I'll go to work. This job can earn 600 coins a month now. I can't lose it."

"Brother Shanzi, you should also work hard to pull the cart and earn more money so that we can live a good life."

Shanzi held the silver tightly against his chest, his heart was about to jump out of his chest with joy, "Don't worry, I will definitely earn more money so that you can live a good life."

Xing'er whispered, "Go quickly."

Shanzi stared at Xing'er deeply, "Wait for me, I'll come to take you home in the evening."

Xing'er nodded.

Shanzi drove the mule cart away, looking back several times along the way. Xing'er waited until the cart was far away before entering the store. She bowed to Shopkeeper Bai, "Shopkeeper, I met the Crown Princess when I left the city yesterday. She took me to the palace and let me stay overnight."

"I came here today to ask for leave from you. The Crown Princess asked me to stay with her in the palace for a few days. Do you think it's okay?"

Shopkeeper Bai saw what she and Shanzi were talking about just now. He knew that the two were probably not just the driver and the guest. Now he understood that Xing'er had not returned for the night. His eyes flashed, "Okay, then you stay with the Crown Princess."

Tie Niu just came over, and Xing'er stopped him, "Tie Niu, can you take me to the palace?"

Shopkeeper Bai nodded to Tie Niu after hearing what she said, "Just take her there."

Tie Niu went to the backyard to harness the cart, and Xing'er followed him to the backyard.

Not long after Xing'er left, Gu Zhong hurriedly drove a car.

The car stopped at the door of the inn. Gu Zhong jumped out of the car, ran into the store, and anxiously asked the shopkeeper Bai, "Shopkeeper, is my girl Xing'er here?"

Shopkeeper Bai said calmly, "Xing'er asked for leave. The prince's wife took her to the palace yesterday, saying that she would stay with the prince's wife for a few days."

Gu Zhong's originally anxious face suddenly turned into joy, "This dead girl, she went to the palace and didn't tell anyone to come back, causing the family to worry all night."

Last night, I waited and waited for Xing'er to come back, but the city gate was closed again, and I couldn't go to the city to look for her.

It wasn't until the morning that Gu Zhong hurried into the city to look for Xing'er.

Gu Zhong thanked Shopkeeper Bai and drove the mule cart back home. He had to tell Xing'er's mother quickly. A grown girl didn't come back all night, and the family was worried.

He thought happily in his heart, the Crown Prince's Consort asked Xing'er to come over, could it be that she wanted to find a good family for Xing'er?

If that was the case, he would have been relieved.

Tie Niu drove the mule cart and soon arrived at the side gate of the palace.

He got off the cart and bowed to the gatekeeper, "The Crown Prince's Consort's cousin wants to see the Crown Prince's Consort for something, please let her know."
