Traveling to ancient times, with space

Chapter 230 He Lianzhao

Seeing this, the steward quickly put down the fish food box in his hand and waved to the guards who wanted to follow closely behind, indicating that they did not need to follow.

Then, he walked slowly to the place where he had arranged to meet Su Yue.

From afar, he saw the young boy in brocade robes running excitedly toward him, grabbing his sleeve and pulling him to a corner without a word.

"Come and see! Look at what I brought you! These are all gifts to apologize for my mistake, so you absolutely cannot refuse!"

Su Yue said with a smile, and the items she was holding were all things she had found in her spatial storage.

The butler standing to the side was secretly astonished: I never expected this!

This person actually sent me an apology gift. Isn't he afraid at all that I'll have something on him?

Filled with doubt, the butler stepped forward and asked, "So, what exactly are all these things?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yue quickly waved her hand and replied with a smile, "Oh! Actually, there's nothing particularly rare or good. It's just some small items for everyday eating and drinking."

As the head steward of the Prince of Zhenbei's mansion, what kind of rare treasures and delicacies haven't you seen?

However, I can assure you that even if you are rich and powerful, you simply cannot buy these things! Su Yue's words were not entirely boastful.

These items are not easily bought with money alone; the key is whether she is willing to put them up for sale.

The butler found a spot against the wall, slowly squatted down, and then sat down.

He took out the package Su Yue had given him from his pocket, slowly untied the rope, and revealed what was inside.

At the same time, Su Yue sat down next to the butler and began to introduce the honey to him with a smile: "Look at this, it's top-quality honey!"

The taste of drinking it as a tea is incredibly delicious. It not only helps you fall asleep and ensures a good night's sleep, but it also has beauty and skin-nourishing effects!

"Well... hehe, I think you're quite handsome. I imagine you'd be quite popular as a steward in the Prince of Zhenbei's mansion!" She winked playfully at the steward after saying that.

Upon hearing this, the butler couldn't help but smirk slightly, but quickly regained his composure.

Then, he took out a small, exquisite wine flask from the package.

Seeing this, Su Yue quickly reminded her, "Oh dear, this is alcohol! And it's very strong, so you have to be careful when you drink it. If you can't hold your liquor, you'll probably pass out after just one glass!"

The butler was a wine lover and often enjoyed a few drinks when he had nothing else to do.

Upon hearing Su Yue say that the wine was so strong, a strong sense of curiosity arose in my heart, and I wanted to open it and try it.

However, just as he was about to make a move, Su Yue swiftly stopped him.

He hurriedly called out, "Hey, hey, don't rush! Just bear with it for a bit, you can savor it slowly after we get back to the manor!"

What if you get drunk and pass out right here?

No one here will be kind enough to take you back! If the Prince of Zhenbei's mansion blames you for dereliction of duty and kicks you out, don't blame me!

Looking at the boy in front of him, who was a man of his word and a mischievous fellow, the butler couldn't help but laugh.

He also sent his men to investigate, but that day the mischievous monkey ran too fast and they lost track of him.

"Alright, stop looking! This place is full of good stuff! You should go home now!"

"Don't be stingy with your food. I'll bring you even more delicious treats next time I come," Su Yue said with a smile, gently patting the butler's broad shoulder.

Then, her bright, large eyes curiously looked around the spacious courtyard of the Prince of Zhenbei's mansion, and her gaze finally settled on a large, leafy tree.

Then, full of enthusiasm, he said again, "Hey, next time I come, I'll tie a bright red cloth to that tree. Then, as long as you see it, you'll know to come here to find me. Do you think that's okay?"

It has to be said that Su Yue actually quite liked the handsome older man in front of her.

Although he was just a steward in the manor, there was nothing he could do about it; after all, he was so handsome and dashing!

Upon hearing this, the butler nodded slightly in agreement.

At this moment, as if he had suddenly remembered something, he hurriedly called out to Su Yue, who had already turned to leave, and asked, "Oh dear, I was so busy talking that I didn't even have time to ask you your name!"

Su Yue hesitated for a moment, thinking that she couldn't just reveal her real name, because that would make her an unregistered resident!

So she gave Gu Yuan's name: "Oh, my name is Gu Yuan!"

"So it's Brother Gu Yuan! It's a pleasure to meet you! We look forward to seeing you again next time." The butler waved warmly to Su Yue with a big smile.

Su Yue nodded, took two steps, but then suddenly stopped for some reason.

She slowly turned around, gazed at the butler, scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly, and asked softly, "Um... I still don't know how to address you?"

Upon seeing this, the butler Helian Zhao smiled slightly and replied, "If you don't mind, you can call me Uncle Lian."

"Uncle Lian, see you next time!" Before she finished speaking, Su Yue's figure quickly disappeared into the alley.

Helian Zhao stood quietly in place, watching Su Yue leave until she was completely out of sight, before slowly withdrawing his gaze.

Just then, a guard dressed in black, like a ghost, silently scaled the wall.

It landed steadily beside Helian Zhao and respectfully extended both hands to take the item from his hands.

"Your Highness, should we continue the investigation?" the guard asked in a low voice.

Helian Zhao shook his head slightly, his face ashen, and said, "No need. Let's go back to the manor! I need to go and see how those people's training is progressing."

At this moment, Helian Zhao seemed like a completely different person, utterly unlike when he was speaking softly to Su Yue earlier. He exuded a chilling aura that sent shivers down one's spine.

Meanwhile, Su Yue jogged all the way and arrived at the teahouse she had visited before in the blink of an eye.

She easily found a seat, ordered a pot of tea and a plate of pastries, and waited with great interest for the storyteller to begin.
