CHAPTER 477 1 : FIND THE IMPERIAL PRINCESS (2/2)
Hong Li and Ruo Yuan exchanged bewildered glances at each other. The Princess Consort is planning to secretly drink wine while Prince Hao isn’t around? At this thought, they immediately followed. We can’t let her drink too much! Drinking too much will only cause one to make a botch of matters!
When Su Xi-er turned to another street, she caught sight of an old auntie peeping at her from her periphery.
She’s the one who almost got hit by the horse carriage just now.
Upon realising that Su Xi-er had discovered her, the old auntie hastily scurried away.
“Auntie.” Su Xi-er picked up her pace and called out to her, but the old auntie continued scuttling away.
Finding it very strange, Su Xi-er went forward to grab her arm. “Auntie, why were you following me? And why are you still hiding from me? We didn’t know each other in the past.”
Su Xi-er was perplexed as she watched her. She was already muttering things like ‘too similar’ and ‘already dead’ when we previously saw each other. Now, she’s referring to herself as a servant and asking for a pardon.
“Auntie, where are you from?”
Despite the question coming a benign tone, the old auntie suddenly plopped to the ground. “Wrong, wrong, all wrong.” She then began kowtowing.

Suddenly, the old auntie stood up and stumbled a few steps backwards before starting to run. She even glanced back to look at Su Xi-er, as if afraid that the latter would chase after her; it wasn’t long before she had disappeared from sight.
A few commoners shook their heads and sighed. “A lonely and deranged old person with no children; it’s rather tough.”
Su Xi-er was immersed in her thoughts. Could the old auntie be related to my past? Or could it be…
