Su Yue was being carried by Ren Dong all the way through the palace. On the way, they met a sensible eunuch who gave an umbrella to Madam Yang, so that Madam Yang could hold the umbrella for Su Yue to block some of the sun.

With the umbrella holding, Su Yue felt much better, at least her back didn't feel hot anymore. Seeing that there were no palace maids or eunuchs on the road, she took out a few ice cubes from the space.

Su Yue first put one in her own mouth, and gave the remaining ice cubes to Rendong and Nanny Yang respectively. Rendong and Nanny Yang also tacitly understood and quickly put the ice cubes in their mouths.

The cold water that gradually melted in their mouths slowly flowed into their stomachs, and Su Yue, the master and the servant, sighed comfortably.

With her cheeks stuffed with puffs, Honeysuckle ran towards the main gate of the palace in one go. The soldiers guarding the gate did not ask any questions when they saw Su Yue and her two servants doing this.

When they finally got back to the carriage, Nanny Yang quickly opened the door and asked Ren Dong to carefully place Su Yue. Then she followed in and asked with concern: "Miss, how do you feel? Is everything okay?"

Su Yue leaned on the cushion and shook her head gently. Although her body was still a little weak, her spirit had improved a lot: "Don't worry, Mammy, I'm fine, I just feel a little hot and nauseous."

When Nanny Yang heard this, she immediately became anxious, "How can you be still okay even after all this? Let's go back and let the court doctor take a look at you."

After saying this, Madam Yang was about to ask the driver to drive the carriage away quickly, but Su Yue stopped her and said, "Madam, don't go back yet. I still have to go to the Broken Jade Pawnshop to find Uncle Song. Ask the driver to go to the Broken Jade Pawnshop first."

When Nanny Yang heard that Su Yue wanted to go to the Broken Jade Pawn Shop, she looked hesitant, but seeing Su Yue's determined expression, she had no choice but to turn around and tell the driver to go to the Broken Jade Pawn Shop.

But the coachman looked hesitant when he heard this. He turned around and looked at the palace gate, but saw that there was no lady or daughter.

In addition, the palace banquets usually ended in the afternoon. When Su Yue was carried out by Ren Dong so early today, people thought that Su Yue had caused trouble and was punished by the Queen Mother and sent back to the palace.

The driver turned his eyes and refused, "My dear lady, I am afraid I cannot take you to the Broken Jade Pawn Shop, but I can take you back home first."

Hearing this, Ren Dong was immediately furious and pointed at the driver and said angrily, "You slave, how dare you disobey the young lady's order? If you don't send the young lady to the Broken Jade Pawn Shop today, you'll be in trouble."

The driver stiffened his neck and replied, "I am just following orders. The Madam has ordered us to return home immediately after the banquet. I dare not disobey the Madam's orders."

Su Yue frowned slightly and felt nauseous in her stomach, so she didn't want to say any more nonsense. She took out a ten-liang silver ingot from the space and threw it hard at the driver's face.

"You are such a jerk. If you go to the Broken Jade Pawn Shop, the ten taels will be yours. If you don't go, I will take Second Aunt's carriage."

The driver was hit in the eye before he could see clearly what it was. He let out a cry and just as he was getting angry, he heard Su Yue's words.

When he heard that it was silver, the driver didn't care about the eye that was hurt by the hit. He squinted at the silver ingot on the ground that was reflecting the sunlight.

Seeing that it was really a big ingot of silver, the anger in his heart immediately dissipated. His monthly salary was only half a tael, and these ten taels were really a lot of money for him.

The driver quickly picked up the silver and put on a smile on his face. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Don't worry, young lady. I will take you to the Broken Jade Pawn Shop right away." After that, he quickly sat on the shaft of the carriage, waved the whip, and drove the carriage towards the Broken Jade Pawn Shop.

Nanny Yang rolled her eyes at the driver and slammed the door shut, what a money-hungry dog ​​slave!

When Su Yue saw that Nanny Yang had closed the carriage door, she took out some ice cubes from the space and threw them into the ice basin, and the carriage soon became cool.

With the coolness brought by the ice, Su Yue felt much more comfortable, and the discomfort in her stomach gradually subsided, while Nanny Yang and Rendong also stopped sweating.

At this time, Ren Dong felt very distressed. She felt that it was a waste to give the ten taels of silver to the driver who was greedy for money and relied on his power. "Miss, I should have asked you to beat the driver up just now. Why waste the ten taels of silver?"

Su Yue, who had just taken out a small bucket of iced mung bean soup, couldn't help but laugh when she heard this.

"I'm not short of that little bit of money, so why are you feeling bad? Besides, it's hot enough already, if you get yourself a heat stroke just because you're beating that dog slave, I'll feel bad."

Honeysuckle was deeply moved when she heard this...

Nanny Yang took the bowl that Su Yue had taken out again and agreed, "Miss, you are right. Why dirty your hands for that kind of person? But you are feeling sick now. Can you drink this mung bean soup?"

Su Yue urged, "It's drinkable, Mammy, please scoop a bowl for me first, I'm almost too hot."

Nanny Yang quickly scooped a bowl of mung bean syrup and handed it to Su Yue. Su Yue took it and couldn't wait to take a sip. The cool and sweet taste spread in her mouth instantly, making her squint her eyes comfortably.

"Why are you two looking at me? Drink up, be careful in this hot weather, don't get a heat stroke."

After hearing this, Honeysuckle and Nanny Yang no longer hesitated and each scooped a bowl of mung bean soup to drink. The cool feeling instantly soothed their hot bodies.

The carriage sped along the street and soon arrived at the Broken Jade Pawnshop. The driver stopped the carriage and said respectfully, "Miss, we have arrived at the Broken Jade Pawnshop."

Upon hearing this, Su Yue put all the things into the space, while Nanny Yang and Rendong got off the carriage first, and then carefully helped Su Yue down.

Su Yue got off the carriage and said to the driver, "You don't need to wait for me here. Go back first and tell those people that I'm safe. Just tell them that I want to go shopping and will rent a carriage to go back."

The driver thought for a moment and said with embarrassment, "Miss, this is not a good idea. I'd better stay and wait for you."

Su Yue narrowed her eyes, "I advise you not to be too greedy, otherwise I will tell my father that you took ten taels of silver from me. I am curious about what will happen to you."

The driver's face changed when he heard this, and he immediately said, "No, no, no, I'll go back right away. I wish you a happy shopping, young lady."

Watching the driver drive away, Su Yue breathed a sigh of relief. She turned to Yang Ma and Ren Dong and said, "Let's go in and find Uncle Song."

As soon as the three of them walked into the Broken Jade Pawn Shop, they saw Song Mingtao drinking tea. Song Mingtao felt someone coming in, and when he looked up, he found it was Su Yue. He immediately put down his teacup and stood up to greet her: "The girl is here."

As soon as Song Mingtao approached, Su Yue, the master and the servant smelled a strong smell of sweat emanating from Song Mingtao, and Song Mingtao's hair was also soaked with sweat.

Su Yue guessed: Song Mingtao must have just come back from doing something.
