The maid maintained a calm expression, but Long Linger was extremely nervous inside. Despite many doubts, she chose to trust her, as there was no other option. If she wanted to be with her son, she could only take a risk.
As they passed the guards at the door, Long Linger kept her head down and didn't dare to lift it.
"Where are you going this late?"
One of the guards asked. The maid stepped forward, "Today is a joyous day. Philip said there's not enough manpower over there, so we need to go help out."
The guard stayed silent for a moment and didn't move. The maid took out two red envelopes from her pocket, "Oh, by the way, these are rewards from the Seventh Prince for you."
The two guards took the envelopes, weighed them in their hands, and found that they were quite heavy.
"Go on, come back soon, and don't delay too long."
The maid nodded in thanks, grabbed Long Linger's hand, and hurriedly left.
