Housekeeper of the Hundred Blossom Palace - Chapter 201: Couple Over Time

“I needed to raise money in order to marry into the merchant’s family. That’s when I heard about the news that they were recruiting soldiers for the borders of Enshuu. I decided to apply, thinking that it would help, even if it’s just a bit.”

“So, does that mean you have been staying at the borders all the time until you lost your memories?”

“Yes.”

Du and Zhu conversed.

Zhu’s tale was in line with the story Yui Mei heard from Xu.

It was also highly unlikely that he was just pretending to be ‘Zhu Ren’.

If that was truly the case, it might have been good if this ‘Zhu’ met earlier with Xu.

However, the timing wasn’t right back then.

Xu wasn’t someone who could freely enter and leave the Hundred Blossom Palace. Not only that, she had thrown the towel about everything in life, and had also become someone involved in a case.

Thus, when the opportunity arose, it was already difficult to sneak her out of the palace.

Moreover, they also had to consider the possibility that this man wasn’t the lover she was expecting. They couldn’t act rashly.

And so, everything converged to have this moment take place.

Many obstacles occurred along the way, but the most important truth was finally revealed in this event. It made Yui Mei want to jump in joy.

‘Miss Xu, your lover is alive!!’

Yui Mei turned her gaze towards the mausoleum, thinking about how Xu was still playing the lute with determination so strong it was tragic.

Du also stared at the mausoleum, probably similarly concerned.
