After steward Yu packed up, he left the palace.
He did not receive this month's salary.
He did something wrong, and the empress was merciful and did not punish him. He should be grateful and should not receive any more salary.
However, he just walked out of the Imperial Manor and saw Li Tong'er.
Li Tong'er was simpler than him, with only a small baggage on her back, and her servant's clothes had been replaced by a white dress.
Hearing the footsteps, Li Tong'er immediately turned around.
"Guanshi Yu." She greeted him.
Manager Yu was a little surprised, paused, and walked towards her, "Are you waiting for me?"
Li Tong'er nodded, took out a box from the bag, and handed it to him, "I caused you to lose your job. This money is my compensation to you."
Manager Yu took it, opened it and took a look. When he saw a box of gold leaves inside, he looked at her in surprise.
She seems to be wondering how she, a person who was abandoned by her husband's family and abandoned by her mother's family, could get so much money.
Li Tong'er was quite embarrassed. She avoided his probing gaze and explained: "Guanshi Yu, I lied to you about everything before."
Manager Yu was stunned for a moment, "Which incident are you referring to? The one about being abandoned by your husband's family?"
Li Tong'er shook his head, thought for a while, then raised his head, "No, I was indeed abandoned by my husband's family, but my mother's family treated me well and did not reject me. It was me who was deceived by lard. My heart wants to climb a high branch. I took advantage of you." After speaking, his voice became softer, feeling ashamed.
After listening to what she said, Manager Yu thought about it for a moment and then understood what she meant. He looked at her in surprise, "You actually..." His eyes fell on her beautiful face, and he suddenly didn't know what to say.
The girl in front of him was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen besides the queen. Coupled with her charming temperament, it was easy for people to feel pity and protectiveness.
He has always been rigorous in doing things, but when he first met her, he forgot his principles and made an exception to recruit her to work in the Imperial Mansion.
In Huangzhuang, he was specifically in charge of the servants.
In fact, he was also fascinated by her beauty, so he lost the principles of doing things.
Therefore, he was not wronged when the queen dismissed him from his position. He was the one to blame.
After a long while, he said: "The emperor loves your empress very much. No one else can get involved between them."
Li Tong'er nodded, "Now, I finally understand."
When Manager Yu heard this, he said with some relief: "It's good that you understand. No one in this world makes mistakes. If you can wake up in time, it's not too late."
"Thank you so much, Guanshi." Li Tong'er said sincerely.
Manager Yu shook his head and handed the box in his hand back to her, "I don't need it, you keep it for yourself. However, don't reveal your wealth to others. You must not do this outside in the future. If it attracts the attention of caring people, Be careful, you may cause disaster." He couldn't help but remind him.
Li Tong'er refused to take it back, "I was the one who hurt you..."
Manager Yu simply took her hand, stuffed the box back into her hand, and said warmly: "I've already said, this matter has nothing to do with you, it's my own problem. It's appropriate to be dismissed, so you don't have to feel bad about it. Besides, I have long wanted to go outside and see the outside world, so it’s good to be like this now, otherwise I won’t be able to leave.”
Li Tong'er was a little surprised at his free and easy attitude, and blurted out: "If you don't mind having one more person, how about we travel around the world together?"
Manager Yu looked at her in surprise, "You want to go with me? Aren't you afraid that I'm a bad person?"
