Chapter 1315 - 8: Handwriting
Now that the people have found the guesthouse and even greeted the shopkeeper, it’s impossible to just return with the food box.
These past two days, she heard quite a lot about the Second Young Master of the Jibei Marquis Mansion.
With his temper, if he catches her, she’ll be lucky if she doesn’t lose a layer of skin, even if she survives.
Yun Chu hid for a while, and the servant from the Jibei Marquis Mansion left.
But the guesthouse shopkeeper was unlikely to risk offending the Jibei Marquis Mansion by letting her leave.
Yun Chu thought for a moment, then grabbed the food box and went to a shop.
She selected a set of women’s clothing in the shop and put it on, transforming from a handsome young man into a beautiful young lady.
The shopkeeper selling skirts was stunned, she really hadn’t noticed that the person was female.
After paying, Yun Chu returned to the guesthouse.
Even the young attendant at the guesthouse didn’t recognize her, and was a bit surprised, as there were truly few girls staying at the guesthouse.
"Are you here for a meal or staying overnight?" The attendant asked warmly.
"I’m looking for someone," Yun Chu replied.
The attendant was a bit confused, "Who are you looking for?"
Yun Chu gave a room name, and the attendant led her upstairs.
From a distance, the attendant said, "There it is."
Yun Chu handed three silver coins to the attendant, "Much appreciated."
"You go attend to the other guests, I’ll go myself."
The attendant happily took the tip and turned to leave.
Yun Chu went to that room, saw the attendant had left, and swiftly returned to her own room.
She didn’t dare take her bag, only took the hidden silver notes, and then retreated.
Yun Chu descended the stairs quickly, the attendant passed by with tea, and happened to look up and see her.
The attendant frowned.
Earlier, he didn’t dare to stare at the girl closely, but why did this girl seem so familiar?
Yet he was certain this girl hadn’t visited their guesthouse before.
He couldn’t possibly forget such a beautiful girl.
While hesitating, Yun Chu had already exited the guesthouse.
The guesthouse shopkeeper came over, raised his hand to knock on the attendant’s head, "What are you standing there for?!"
"Go and attend to the guests quickly!"
The attendant rubbed his aching head and said, "Shopkeeper, don’t you think that girl just now looked familiar?"
The guesthouse shopkeeper frowned.
If the attendant hadn’t mentioned it, he really hadn’t noticed.
It really did seem familiar.
The guesthouse shopkeeper returned to the counter and saw the portrait placed on it.
The shopkeeper opened it casually.
He had seen this portrait and was sure the person the Jibei Marquis Mansion wanted to catch was indeed the young man staying at his guesthouse.
The girl who just left, her appearance and silhouette looked like they were carved from the same mold as the person in the portrait...
"Oh no, the young man escaped!" The shopkeeper’s expression changed.
The attendant hadn’t reacted yet.
The shopkeeper told him to quickly go report to the Jibei Marquis Mansion.
The attendant ran all the way to the Jibei Marquis Mansion, reporting to Shen Junshan, "Second Young Master Shen, the young man you were looking for knows you want to catch him, disguised as a woman, returned to the guesthouse, took the money and fled."
Shen Junshan, "...."
Disguised as a woman?
That’s just a woman, come on!
He was just surprised at how clever she was to realize it, changing back to women’s attire to avoid detection.
After dismissing the attendant, Shen Junshan tapped his servant’s head with his folded fan, "I ordered you to catch her, it would still be fine to return early, but why didn’t you know to bring her baggage along?!"
That female thief still had the ten thousand taels of silver notes she stole from him.
The servant hadn’t thought much about it, they hadn’t imagined that the female thief could escape from their Second Young Master.
Now that the Second Young Master was annoyed with them, they also felt they were a bit foolish.
Without money, that female thief couldn’t get far.
The servant cautiously looked at Shen Junshan, "Then... what should we do now?"
Shen Junshan was so angry his head ached.
Why are there nothing but fools around him?
Such a tiny task and they messed it up.
"Go find her, even if you have to dig three feet deep, you have to dig her out for me!" Shen Junshan said through gritted teeth.
Meanwhile, Yun Chu held the money close to her heart, feeling less panicked.
But her situation was still more dire.
The Second Young Master of the Jibei Marquis Mansion would definitely search for her all over the world.
Capital City is only so big, how could it be easy not to get found, especially since she still has to find ways to right her father’s wrongs.
Now the guesthouse was definitely not an option anymore, a guesthouse is a place where all sorts gather. She, a girl, staying alone at a guesthouse attracts too much attention.
With a thin veil covering her face, Yun Chu walked down the bustling street, exhausted in body and mind.
Ahead was someone offering letter-writing services, Yun Chu walked over, borrowed paper and pen, and wrote a family letter, asking someone to deliver it to Shen Junshan at the Jibei Marquis Mansion.
When the letter was delivered to the Jibei Marquis Mansion, the Marquis Jibei happened to be returning on horseback.
The servant handed the letter forward, saying, "Marquis, someone sent a letter to the Second Young Master."
