Song Jingchen nodded and took out the pouch that had turned white from washing. He lowered his head and began to count the copper coins.

The vendor was speechless. This was the first time he had seen such a stingy official.

In the past, they would either not come to buy it personally, or even if they did, they would directly throw down a corner of silver and say, “There’s no need to keep the change.”

How impressive was that?

“I want two sticks of candied hawthorn.”

At this moment, a crisp voice sounded.

The vendor looked at the girl who suddenly appeared and then at Song Jingchen’s official uniform. He apologized, “I’m sorry, Miss. The rest have been bought by this official.”

Before the girl could speak, the maidservant beside her said, “He hasn’t paid yet, right?”

“Well…” The vendor looked at Song Jingchen awkwardly.

With his years of experience walking the streets, he would definitely be able to earn more if he sold the candied hawthorn to that lady. However, he was also afraid that he would offend Song Jingchen because of this.

He hoped that this official would take the initiative to give up two skewers on account of the girl’s good looks.

However, Song Jingchen was destined to disappoint him. Without looking at the person beside him, he stuffed a handful of copper coins into the vendor’s hand and reached out to take the candied hawthorns.

His att.i.tude was obvious. He had already paid, so these were his!

The vendor thought, “Not only is he stingy, but he also doesn’t know how to cherish women. What a waste of his good looks.”

“Hey, can you finish all this? What’s wrong with letting me have two skewers?”

Seeing that he was about to pull out the last two sticks, the girl was so anxious that she wanted to stop him.

Song Jingchen frowned and avoided her hand. He pulled out both skewers.

The girl touched his sleeve and was stunned for a moment. Did this person shun her just now?

Ridiculous. She looked at Song Jingchen with a red face.

It wouldn’t have mattered if she didn’t look. When she saw his face, the words she wanted to say were stuck in her throat.

“How dare you! Do you know who we are?” The maidservant spoke for her.

The girl came back to her senses and glared at the maidservant. The anger on her face instantly turned to shyness. “It’s you? I’ve seen you before.”

“I’m not selling these,” Song Jingchen said indifferently and turned to walk towards the carriage.

Did he think that she was deliberately trying to get close to him to buy his candied hawthorn?

The girl blushed again and chased after him. “I’ve really seen you before. When you left the city today, my carriage happened to enter the city.”

“Princess, why are you telling him this?” The maidservant stomped her feet and was about to chase after him when she noticed the peddler’s expression. She glared at him.

The vendor thought, “If you don’t chase after your princess, she’ll lose her soul.”

Seeing that she was chasing after him, Song Jingchen stopped in his tracks and turned to look at the girl. He didn’t hide the impatience on his face and said coldly, “I have a wife. Miss, please respect yourself.”

With that, he ignored the girl’s pale face and turned to enter the carriage.

South Wind had long seen his master being pestered by a girl. Thinking of Young Madam’s fist, he wished he could personally go up and pull his master back.

Although he knew that his master would ignore that girl, Young Madam’s train of thought was too strange. If he found out later, what if she came to blame him for letting his master buy candied hawthorn personally?

After all, if he didn’t buy it, he wouldn’t have encountered such a thing!

Seeing Song Jingchen get into the carriage, he didn’t care if he sat still or not. He waved her whip and let the horse gallop away.

Song Jingchen was speechless.

He looked at the candied hawthorn that he had almost dropped and rubbed his forehead. He roughly guessed the reason why South Wind did this.

After being speechless, he remembered that Shen Yijia had grabbed South Wind to spar because she knew that he did not eat on time. He could not help but smile.

She had improved now. She knew that Rooster and Thirty Thousand had been sent by him to do other things. He only had South Wind by her side. When she hit people, she didn’t hit their faces. She only hit their bodies.

The reason was that it would embarra.s.s him.

“Princess, are you alright?”

After the carriage left for a long time, the girl still stood rooted to the ground, looking in that direction. The maidservant asked carefully.

The girl looked away, bit her lower lip, and turned to walk in the opposite direction. She said angrily, “Back to the courier station.”

The maidservant heaved a sigh of relief and quickly followed. At the same time, she advised, “That person just now was too ungrateful. Princess, don’t be angry. I’ve already remembered his appearance. We’ll tell His Highness later and let him tell the emperor that we have to punish him.”

The girl paused. “Bai Zhi, do you think Father will really care about me and stand up for me?”

“Of course…” Bai Zhi stopped mid-sentence and said weakly, “The princess came all the way here to see His Highness. He will definitely be touched.”

The girl sneered and stopped talking.
