The wind even blew at a comfortable strength. Nonetheless, there was nothing happy in Li Dong Hai's manor. Every servant wore a grim expression. Apparently, all servants were fond of Chen Xue'er since she treated all of them well. It was not as if Li Dong Hai treated them bad, but they had all thought that the prince had finally found the one. Who knew that as fast as he found her, at the same speed he had lost her, or so it seemed.
Just as Chen Xue'er had requested the only ones not present at the send-off were Cao Shu Yu and Gao Wei. She knew though that since Li Dong Hai was at the send-off Gao Wei must have been there, but hidden in the shadows, like when Li Dong Hai had met her.
