Chapter 457.1: younger cousin
Early the next day, an ox cart stopped near the capital gate, and a delicate and pretty young lady leapt down. She had a pair of curved willow-shaped eyebrows, and smiling with her small eyes made others feel that she was quite adorable.
After Su Miao thanked the owner of the ox cart, she walked towards the capital gate with a small bundle in hand.
I must find a physician to treat Elder Brother within three days.
She had woken up early this morning and written a few words on the table with charcoal, indicating that she would be leaving.
Even though I hid this from my parents, Iām not scared of being punished when I return.
Upon entering the capital, Su Miaoās eyes involuntarily widened at the lively scene in front of her.
To think that itās so busy despite it being early in the morning.
The constant sound of hawkers peddling their wares flew through the air, not to mention the constant buzz of conversation coming from steamed bun stores, teahouses, taverns, and other stores she wasnāt sure about.
Su Miao felt as if she had entered another world, and she observed a bit more before she quickly pulled herself back to reality.
Itās important to get down to business; there isnāt much time. Itās my first time leaving Willow Village and coming to the capital, and I still have no idea where the Prince Hao Residence is.
Thus, when she arrived at the vegetable store, she politely asked one of the employees, āAuntie, do you know which street the Prince Hao Residence is located on?ā
The aunt was stunned when she heard the words āPrince Hao Residenceā, then gave Su Miao a once over after recovering. āMiss, everyone in the capital knows where the Prince Hao Residence is, but no one has ever dared to openly walk on that street.ā
The street was located in an isolated part of the capital, and there was only one household on that entire stretch of streetĀ ć¼Ā the Prince Hao Residence. Apart from those who had to pass by the place when they were rushing, no one would go there.
Hearing this, Su Miao couldnāt help but get the impression that Prince Hao was someone unapproachable.
But I have to look for Younger Cousin for help, so I must go to the Prince Hao Residence first.
āAuntie, you just need to tell me which street itās on.ā
āMiss, youāre not from the capital. Why are you inquiring about the Prince Hao Residence?ā
Su Miao knew that she couldnāt say the real reason.
My family is impoverished, and Younger Cousin didnāt invite her maiden family when she got married. She must resent us a lot, and maybe sheās also afraid that people will gossip about her maiden family being poor. After all, forget the capital, my family canāt even raise our heads in Willow Village.
Hence, she could only lie, āMy elder brother is sick, but we need silvers to seek treatment for him. I heard that working as a servant in the Prince Hao Residence can earn many silvers, so I would like to go and try my luck.ā
The auntie immediately shook her head. āThere are only three women in the Prince Hao Residence: Princess Consort Hao, and the two dowry maidservants that followed her when she married. The rest of the servants are men. Even when they are recruiting, they never want women. If your elder brother is sick, why donāt you go to Meiās Medical Clinic? Itās close to the capitalās gates, and if you explain your circumstances, Physician Mei may choose to not charge you anything.ā
Su Miaoās eyes widened.
To think that thereās such a good thing!
She immediately started to walk in the direction the auntie had pointed in.
She had just taken a few steps when a horse carriage rushed past her, leaving her staring after it in a daze.
The carriage is very large, and there are things with names I donāt know hanging from the roof in a circle. The people in the capital are indeed wealthy; even a passing carriage is so lavishly decorated.
Su Miao inwardly lamented as she prepared to continue walking forward. However, she suddenly saw that the horse carriage had stopped, and that a woman in a crimson dress was alighting. She wore her hair in a simple bun, only held together by an unremarkable wooden hairpin.
Just watching her from the side, Su Miao already felt that this woman had to be a beauty. When the woman turned around, however, Su Miao was frozen stiff.
