Outside the door, Ye Chuyi silently descended the stairs.
Before she left, she handed the card to the butler and whispered a word of caution, "Just give it to Sheng Tingyuan quietly, don't let Aunt Tang find out."
The butler refused to take it obstinately, as the card was prepared by him for Madam; it made no sense for Madam to give it away and then for him to take it back immediately after.
Ye Chuyi, having no other choice, placed the card on the table and pressed it down with a vase before leaving.
The butler stood guard over the card for quite a while, until Sheng Tingyuan finally came downstairs. He quickly said, "Young Master, the Young Madam left the card here for you."
Sheng Tingyuan removed the vase and picked up the card wrapped in red, "Where is she?"
"She's already left."
Sheng Tingyuan pocketed the card and strode outside.
It was only upon exiting that he realized it had started to rain at some point.
