The waiter came back with an exquisite food box from outside.

"Miss Lin, you're not used to mutton soup, so this is breakfast from the restaurant that I bought especially for you."

The boy opened the box.

Inside was a bowl of Tremella soup, a bowl of almond cheese, a plate of small flower rolls, and two exquisite side dishes.

The waiter saw that Miss Lin disliked the mutton soup, and felt sorry for her because she had not eaten for a day and a night, so he bought her breakfast from a nearby restaurant.

"Thank you."

Miss Lin raised her head and smiled at the boy.

The boy was flattered.

Miss Lin picked up the spoon and scooped a spoonful of Tremella soup.

The posture is really elegant.

The young man who saw it was stunned.

Miss Lin swallowed the Tremella Soup and frowned slightly.

This Tremella soup is a bit overcooked.

Miss Lin took a bite and put down the spoon.

"Miss Lin, is it still not to your liking?" asked the waiter.

Miss Lin shook her head and said sadly, "No, I have no appetite for anything now."

She sighed deeply and said, "If my stepmother catches me, I'll either be drowned in a pond or put in a pig cage. It doesn't matter to me, I'm just worried about the maidservant beside me. I wonder what's happening to her now? She and I grew up together. Outsiders see us as master and servant, but in reality, we're more like sisters... Woo woo woo... I really want to know what's going on with her now."

Miss Lin began to cry, and after crying for a while, she raised her head and looked at the boy with a sad face.

The young man's face showed pity.

This young man had a clear sense of stupidity. If he took the initiative to speak, she could persuade him to go to the corner gate at the back of the Lin family's house to pass on the message to the maid. The doorman at the corner gate was the cousin of her personal maid and also her confidant.

When the maid received the news, she naturally knew how to pass it on to Prince Ning's mansion.

The young man said, "If that's the case, why didn't you take Miss Lin with you when she escaped? You two could have looked after each other."

Miss Lin was almost forced to hold back her tears because of the choking.

It’s not good that the boy is too stupid to guess what she means.

The young man really didn't question Miss Lin's intentions, he simply didn't understand the reason.

Miss Lin lowered her head and said nothing, her mind racing as she thought of a solution.

Gu Dashu said to the boy, "There's nothing for you to do here. Go take inventory."

The boy said something and walked towards the warehouse.

Miss Lin looked disappointed.

Gu Dashu finished his last bite of the pancake and said slowly, "Don't worry. I didn't say I won't help you, but when I help people, I have to use a foolproof method that won't hurt you and will clear me completely."

Miss Lin was stunned for a moment, tears on the verge of falling. She decided to retreat in order to advance and provoked Gu Dashu. She sniffed and said, "Brother Gu, everyone says you're a hero. When you were in Mobei, you protected the Dasheng woman who was abducted by Mobei. I thought you were a weak and sympathetic person who would help me, but I didn't expect you to leave me in vain."

"In that case, I'll walk to Prince Ning's Mansion by myself."

Miss Lin stood up.

Gu Dashu smiled and didn't stop him.

How could he not know that Miss Lin was trying to provoke him?

Miss Lin's little tricks are fine when fighting against little girls in the inner house, but when facing Gu Dashu, who has experienced blood and rain, they are as childish as a three-year-old child clamoring for candy.

When Miss Lin walked to the door, the wind and snow blew towards her, and her face felt like it was being cut by a knife.

She never wanted to experience running like a stray dog in the snow and wind yesterday again.

Miss Lin stepped back into the shop and leaned over the table, sobbing.

She cried and told the sad things that happened in Lin's house.

Gu Dashu said, "Miss Lin, please stay in your room first. I'll go outside to get some information. After confirming if there's any movement at the Lin Mansion, I'll take you to Prince Ning's Mansion. Otherwise, if we go over there so openly, what if we get caught by the Lin family who are searching for you?"

Gu Dashu didn't wait for Miss Lin to react. He locked the shop and ordered the waiter to watch over Miss Lin.

If Miss Lin runs away, the boy will be held responsible.

The young man didn't dare to disobey Gu Dashu's instructions.

After arranging everything, Gu Dashu rode his horse outside.

He originally wanted to go home and discuss it with Tong Huaqiong, but then he thought that he didn't know whether Miss Lin's words were true or not, so it would be better not to drag his mother into it for the time being.

He wanted to go to the Lin Mansion first to check the situation.

"What's your name, little brother?"

After Gu Dashu left, Miss Lin began to get close to the young boy.

The young man smiled and said, "Don't let my cheap name pollute your ears, Miss. You don't need to know. If you need anything, just tell me."

Miss Lin slowly tried to get the waiter to talk, but he told her everything and nothing useful was given.

Miss Lin recounted her tragic experience of being abused by her stepmother and framed by her legitimate sister in the Lin Mansion. The young man gritted his teeth and even cried with Miss Lin.

But whenever Miss Lin revealed that she wanted the boy to go to the corner gate of the Lin family to help find someone to pass on a message, the boy would change the subject.

"Miss, since you have escaped, please don't think about these things for now. Wait until our shopkeeper comes back and then think of a solution."

"Miss, why don't you wait for the shopkeeper to come and let him report you to the authorities. Your stepmother has treated you harshly, but the prefect won't ignore it."

"Your stepmother is the wife of a marquis, so I'm afraid even the prefect can't do anything about it. But it's not difficult. Our shopkeeper has connections in the palace, so why not use some of them to file a complaint with the emperor?"

"I advise you not to go to Prince Ning's Mansion for now. Princess Ning is a member of your Lin family after all, and she cannot do without the support of the Lin family. If Princess Ning hands you over to the Lin family in order to please your stepmother, wouldn't your escape be in vain?"

......

The young man kept chattering away, saying nothing but nonsense, which annoyed Miss Lin.

"Help me deliver a message to the corner gate of the Lin family. I'll give you this bracelet. It's worth at least one hundred taels, which is equivalent to your annual salary."

Miss Lin gritted her teeth, took off the bracelet on her hand and handed it to the boy.

If the young man looked at the bracelet and said he wasn't moved, he would be lying.

However, if he passed the message without Gu Dashu's consent, Gu Dashu would not tolerate him. A clerk who was kicked out of the shop by the shopkeeper would lose his credibility, and I am afraid that other shops in Shengjing would not hire him.

He wanted to make money for a long time with Gu Dashu, not just to make a quick buck and run away.

The clerk said, "Miss, I can't take this bracelet. If I do, it would seem like I'm taking advantage of someone in need. Don't worry, our shopkeeper is incredibly clever. He'll definitely find a safe way to help you out."

Miss Lin thought that the bracelet she gave was too light and she regretted that she didn't bring more silver with her.

Miss Lin gritted her teeth in anger, but she spoke softly, "Brother, I know it's too shabby of you to take such a big risk to deliver the message with just a bracelet. I only have this one bracelet with me now. When I get to Prince Ning's Mansion, I will ensure that you have food and clothing for the rest of your life."

The young man was unhappy and said, "Miss, why do you think this of me? My boss is Gu, so I only listen to him. You are not my boss, so no matter how much money you offer me, I will not listen to you. You just wait here patiently for our boss to come back."

At this time, there was a knock on the shop door.

Miss Lin and the waiter were startled.
