"Mother, let's not speak of this again. I've eaten my fill and there is pressing business in the palace. I must go now," Ju Nanyi stood up, suddenly feeling he had nowhere to find peace.
"Nanyi, Nanyi, why leave so soon after you've come back..." Mother Ju couldn't stop him, nor dared to forcefully do so, and could only watch helplessly as her son, whose seat had barely warmed, left again.
"Inexplicable—" Ju Nanyi had just stepped into the palace when he spotted the attendants of the Eldest Princess, and without hesitation, he turned around only to find he had nowhere else to go.
He wasn't in the habit of visiting teahouses or taverns; first, it was because he was poor, then busy, so he had no place he could slip into incognito.
Wandering aimlessly, Ju Nanyi found himself in a deserted area. As he recognized the place, he laughed at himself. It was ridiculous to have ended up here.
