"The owner does not wish to see you, you may leave," the shopkeeper said, handing over the Silver Taels promised by Duke Zhen as he spoke.
Inwardly, he thought that Mrs. Qiao was indeed lucky.
A woman from a place of fleeting pleasures, not only did the nobles tire themselves sorting out her troubles, but they also redeemed her, and from now on, Xiangzhang Court would be without Miss Li.
Amidst high mountains and flowing waters, after changing her name and identity, she could start a new life.
Perhaps this was the lifelong extravagant hope of those pitiful women.
Seeing the shopkeeper speak thus, Mrs. Qiao, with a satin cap on her head, did not persist. She bowed in the direction where Su Li and the others were, then wrapped herself in a black cloak and quietly left through the back door.
