There would be more tomorrow. Come to think of it, after not paying attention for a few days, several more chapters had been blocked.

After bidding everyone farewell at YiHong Courtyard, Chou Yunfei strode briskly toward the Front Yard. But as soon as he rounded the corridor bridge by the gate, his foot suddenly caught on something. Had he not reacted swiftly and grabbed a corridor pillar, he would have nearly landed flat on his back.

"Lord Chou, you..."

The nearby servant hurried forward to support him.

Chou Yunfei raised a hand to brush him aside, then swayed with the motion. "This grape wine has quite a kick to it today. It's nothing. Let me rest here for a moment."

With that, he leaned crookedly against the railing and closed his eyes to rest.

The servant wanted to fetch him a bowl of sobering soup, but he feared Chou Yunfei might accidentally fall into the water before he could save him.

Just as he was caught in a dilemma, he suddenly spotted Ban He and Sao Hong walking over with an empty bucket, chatting and laughing.

The servant was overjoyed and hurried forward to call out, "Third Brother He, you came at just the right time, quick—"

"See? See?"

Before he could explain himself, Ban He began pointing at him with a laugh. "I told you this kid has a dog's nose. Whenever there's something valuable, he can never be kept in the dark!"

Sao Hong laughed as well. "Look at you, all worked up. There are only the three of us on duty today. Could Ban He and I possibly cheat you out of your share?"

As he spoke, he pulled out a tiny paper packet from his robes and tossed it through the air into the servant's arms.
