Chapter 1035: Chapter 1034: The Dwarf Reappears

As the two of them walked and talked, they unwittingly arrived in front of a jewelry stall.

"Wow! Miss, look at how beautiful the jewelry here is." Zi Xia said as she picked up a hairpin and examined it closely, unable to put it down.

"If you like it, just buy it."

"No need, I’m just looking."

The hairpin was made of white jade and exquisitely crafted, obviously expensive, making Zi Xia somewhat reluctant to part with it.

The jewelry seller, a woman in her early thirties, saw Zi Xia’s hesitation and seized the opportunity to say: "Miss, our hairpins are one of a kind. If you like it, you should buy it quickly. Otherwise, it might be gone if you wait a bit longer."

One could tell this lady was a seasoned trader, her glib talking was quick and continuous, spewing a deluge of words in an instant.

Zi Xia was undecided: "How much is it?"

"Not much, just ten taels of silver."

"Ten taels?" Zi Xia’s face winced in pain, indeed, for a maid like her, ten taels of silver was a significant amount.

Seeing her reaction, the lady pressed on: "Miss, I’m not bragging, just look at the craftsmanship, the material. I wouldn’t even sell it for ten taels of silver if it weren’t for your beautiful face that matches this hairpin so well!"

The lady was really striving to close this deal.

"No thanks, I was just looking."

Zi Xia put the hairpin back, her face full of reluctance, as ten taels of silver was still too expensive for her.

True, with her monthly salary being only one tael of silver, it would take ten months without eating or drinking to save up ten taels!

"If you like it, just buy it." Xuexue pulled out a silver piece, roughly one tael in weight, and tossed it on the table.

"Alright!" The lady’s face lit up with joy as she finally made a sale.

Zi Xia anxiously protested, "Miss, there’s no need."

"The money is already given, just take it." Saying this, Xuexue walked to the next stall.

"Hey!"

Zi Xia had no choice but to pick up the hairpin and follow...

"Miss, Miss, wait for me."

On the second floor of the Hefeng Restaurant, the dwarf was munching on peanuts and listening to music, when he inadvertently glanced down upon hearing the shouting from the street below...

He just caught a glimpse of Xuexue’s figure disappearing around the corner.

His whole body shook, instantly leaping up, as he thought he saw the maid from Shuangxing County who had once plotted against him.

"Impossible." The dwarf shook his head, murmuring to himself, "A country maid couldn’t possibly appear in the Capital."

But the fleeting figure he just saw really resembled her!

No wonder he couldn’t believe it, Jingshan Town is a hundred thousand miles from the Capital, and he had ridden day and night for a whole fortnight just to get here.

At this moment, he lost any interest in listening to the music, jumped down from the second floor, and landed on the ground with a swoosh.

Before he had even steadied himself, he heard a nearby peddler shout: "Ah! A ghost!"

The dwarf turned his head fiercely and said, "Shout again, and see if I don’t believe in twisting your head off to kick it like a ball."

The dwarf’s appearance was as hideous as a ghost, with the features on his face, except for his eyes that looked somewhat human, seemingly misplaced.

After getting a clear view of his face, the peddler trembled all over, not daring to express even a hint of complaint.

"Hmph!"

The dwarf snorted coldly and followed in the direction where Xuexue had just vanished to see if he was mistaken or if that accursed maid really had come to the Capital.
