Sorry, sorry." Haitang hurriedly apologized and helped the other party pick up the scattered apples and put them in a basket.

The woman kept lowering her head, not saying a word, not even looking at Haitang, and used her hand to pluck the basket and was about to leave.

Haitang felt a little disgusted. The country sister-in-law was just simple. She knocked her stuff over, but she didn't even say a word of blame. Thinking that the few apples just now fell to the ground, they definitely looked bad and might not be able to sell them. So she said, "Sister-in-law, I'll buy you two kilograms of fruit."

"No, no, this is for relatives." The woman seemed a little nervous, said this and turned around quickly. Who knew that she was turning too fast. The shoulder pole hit a crooked tree next to her. The basket tilted, and the apple fell all over the ground again. She was so anxious that she sweated on her head. She bent down to pick it up, but she was a little busy. She picked it up and forgot to put it into the basket. She picked it up one by one, which seemed extremely clumsy.

Haitang just stared at the woman in a daze. She recognized the voice from the beginning of the woman's first word. This is also one of her special abilities. Others can never forget each other, but they can never forget each other. As long as they have heard this person's voice once, they can remember it.

"Master." Haitang shouted in disbelief.

The woman slowly raised her head as if she was struck by lightning. Her face looked a little haggard, but her outline was vaguely distinguishable. She was the one whom Haitang was familiar with, Mrs. Shao, whose former name was Du Juan.

"You, you recognized the wrong person." Du Juan said this in a panic, and then he didn't even want the basket. He turned around and ran away. After only two steps, he immediately realized that his current behavior was like three hundred taels of silver here. She knew that she could not deny it, so she hurriedly pulled Haitang aside and said, "Haitang, you must not tell me what happened to me."

"Master, what's wrong with you?" Haitang looked at Du Juan dressed up by the peasant woman and asked with concern, "Do you know that almost everyone in the city is looking for you?"

"I... I have my own difficulties." Du Juan hurriedly handed something to Haitang, "Haitang, I only have so many now. Don't tell me what happened to me, otherwise I will die."

Haitang felt that the things in her hand were heavy and cold. Without looking at it, she knew it was a gold ingot, about four or five taels. She hurriedly refused, "Master, I can't ask for it, really can't."

"Haitang, I only have so many now. As long as you don't tell me what happened to me, I will repay you in the future." Du Juan was almost begging.

"I won't tell you, but I can't ask for this money." Haitang quickly stuffed the gold ingot back to Du Juan.

Du Juan naturally refused to accept it, so she pulled it a few times. Someone was already looking around at the entrance of the alley next to her intrigued manner.

Haitang reacted first, squatted down and picked up the apples that had rolled all over the floor, and said, "Master, pick up the fruits on the ground first, so as not to cause doubt."

"Oh." Du Juan obviously knew that this should not be too arrogant, so she squatted down to pick up apples.

After packing the fruits on the ground, Haitang pulled the Dujuan aside and said with concern: "Master, why do you look like this? Have you encountered any difficulties?"

Du Juan sighed, "Haitang, you'd better stop asking. I have my own difficulties. But you, judging from your appearance, you should be a good person, right?"

Haitang nodded: "That's right, I'm working in a tea shop now and no longer serves people with sex."

"That's good." Du Juan was a little relieved, "Congratulations."

Haitang said: "It's just a temporary place to live. Master, why are you doing this?"

Du Juan looked a little hesitant, as if he was struggling to tell Haitang.

Haitang said again: "Master, judging from your current appearance, you should have encountered difficulties. Since you have encountered it, please tell me. Maybe I can help you? Believe me, I won't tell you."

Du Juan thought about it, there was no question of whether she could believe it or not. If Haitang didn't believe it, since she had seen herself, she would say it out loud. If she could believe it, she might be able to help her a little. She was really desperate now and whispered: "This place is not a place to talk, come with me first."

So Du Juan took Haitang through several alleys and came to an inconspicuous house. The house was very small and lived in several families. When Du Juan saw Du Juan, he greeted him with a smile: "Sister Zhang, you are back."

Du Juan responded one by one.

Seeing Dujuan's affection with these neighbors, Haitang couldn't help but feel confused. It seemed that Dujuan had lived here for a long time.

After Du Juan brought Haitang into the house, she put down the basket and said, "I have lived here for more than a month. They are all ordinary people and are very enthusiastic."

"Master, you are..." Haitang once again asked the doubts in his heart. How could the dignified general live in such a place? It seems that he even sells fruits on the street.

Du Juan smiled and said, "Sometimes, in order to hide his identity, the government has found this place, but who would suspect that a person who showed up all day long to sell fruits?"

Haitang thought about it, but he was afraid that Guanmao and Du Juan would not have thought that the person selling fruits on the street was the ones they were looking for, which was much safer than not leaving behind.

"Master, why are you hiding here? I mean, since that's the case, why don't you leave?" Haitang was a little confused. Since she wanted to hide, why not just hide out of the city? Although such disguise is clever, she is still in Yancheng after all, and she can't help but meet acquaintances that day. Such disguise is actually difficult to deceive people close to her. The maids of the Shao family may not be without sharp-eyed eyes.

Du Juan sighed, "You think I don't want to leave, you really can't leave. The city gate is strictly guarded. The soldiers guarding the city searched the passing people all year round, and their eyes were very poisonous, so it was difficult to deceive them. Originally, the person who picked me up sent the child out first, saying that he was coming back to pick me up, but for some reason, he couldn't come back. I'm very worried about the child now, but I have no choice but to leave at all."

Haitang also felt sad for the master.

The person that everyone envied before is now hiding in such a place. It is really a blessing to make people suffer, or God deliberately gives people hardships.

Du Juan paused for a moment and asked, "Don't talk about me for now. Haitang, you think you have a good life now. Do you plan to get married?"

Du Juan saw that Haitang was still dressed up at the girl's house, so she asked this question casually.

This question made Haitang lower his head, "No, no, people like me, dare not expect that you will be blessed with the blessing of your master to find a good person to marry?"

"Life is born from people, so how can there be no blessing or not?" Du Juan sighed, "It depends on the individual whether life is good or not. No one can live smoothly all the time."

Haitang deeply feels the same. If you want to say that this fate always brings many hardships.

Du Juan immediately asked Haitang some of its recent situation, such as which tea shop Haitang works in, how did she get to the tea shop, etc.

Haitang had nothing to hide, and she told her own experiences in detail.

Du Juan heard that Haitang was a singer in Dingwang Mansion, but she only came out recently. The princess was kind-hearted and knew that she had made good tea. When she arranged for her to work in the tea house, a light flashed through her eyes.

After pondering for a while, Du Juan said: "Haitang, you said just now that if you encounter difficulties and you are willing to help, there is something you need to help now. I wonder if you are willing to... It's very simple, but you know my current situation. If you get involved in this matter, you may have a lot of trouble. You have to think clearly and don't act irritating."

"I don't know...I mean I'm not afraid of trouble." Haitang sighed a little, "I'm not afraid of trouble now, I'm alone, and I won't be tired of anyone. I still remember that when I first entered the Song and Dance House, I was so scared that I cried all day. If it weren't for your careful care and comfort, I would have been afraid that I would have been able to endure those most difficult years long ago."

When talking about the days of the Song and Dance House, Du Juan felt a little guilty and couldn't help but say, "But later, I left like that. I had the ability to take you with me at the beginning, but I never thought of you since then. Do you blame me?"

"No wonder." Haitang shook his head and smiled, "Who can take care of so many sisters for the rest of his life? He still has to earn his life. There are peach blossoms, phoenixes, etc. in the song and dance workshop, and they cannot be taken away. Master, I understand. Now I want to help you, but I am sincere. Please give me a chance to repay you."

Du Juan sighed again, then said, "The thing I want you to help is actually very simple. It is to meet someone and help you pass a few words. I am like this now, and it is difficult to get out of the city by myself, but I can't rest assured that my child is not welcome. I am really worried that if it weren't for this, I wouldn't want to drag you into my business."

"Master, tell me." Haitang said sincerely, "I will definitely do it."

Du Juan paused for a moment and lowered her voice: "You said you came out of the Ding Palace soon, so you will definitely find a way to meet the Ding Princess? Just pass on a message to the Ding Princess for me and see if she is willing to help me."

"Master, do you know Princess Ding?" Haitang was a little surprised.

"I've had a few encounters," Du Juan said vaguely, "If anyone has the ability to help me now, maybe it's Princess Ding."

"But that person from Princess Ding..." Haitang didn't know what to say, but remembered that Princess Ding had asked her carefully about Du Juan's past in the Song and Dance House. She couldn't stand the threat and temptation of the princess, so she said it. I don't know if this matter has any impact on the master. Should I tell the master?

"The princess is actually a kind-hearted person. She will definitely help me. Even if she doesn't help, she won't tell me." Du Juan looked very confident about this.

Haitang couldn't say anything frankly. I thought about it and it would be better not to say it, so as not to bother Master Tu Zeng. I think Princess Ding asked about the master, maybe she wanted to help.

In this way, Haitang agreed, and Du Juan also specifically reminded her not to let others know about this. Even if the princess is close to her, she can only tell the princess alone.

Haitang agreed.

When I returned to the tea house, it was getting late, so it was hard to prepare for it. After thinking about it, she went to Dingwang Mansion at noon the next day.

This excuse is still ready. The tea shop's business is not good and it is about to collapse. She talks to her former manager, Mrs. Zheng, and passes a message to see the princess.

Mrs. Zheng was very embarrassed and said to Haitang: "Miss Haitang, it's not that I don't help, but what a princess is. This is not a big deal. The business in the tea shop is a bit bad, and it doesn't mean to fall. It's a bit unreasonable to make a fuss about seeing the princess like this?"

"Miss Zheng, why is this a trivial matter?" Haitang looked anxious, "This tea shop is my place to live. Now the tea shop said that it can't be opened, so the shopkeepers of the tea shop are making other plans. They really have to wait until the tea shop collapses before coming. Then can I still go back to the royal palace to live?"

"This..." Mrs. Zheng couldn't say it anymore. She said it well at the beginning, but she also said it as Lu Teng ordered. Who can guarantee her life?

Haitang begged: "Miss Zheng, please tell me and the princess, and pass on the words, please."

Haitang said, quietly handing Mrs. Zheng a piece of silver.

Mrs. Zheng was short of people, thinking that it was just a message. Whether to see him or not was the princess' business, so she said, "Okay, Miss Haitang, I will say it first. I can't meet the princess directly. I can only talk to the Green Vine Girl in front of the princess. If the Green Vine Girl does not help, or the princess doesn't see you, I can't. You can go back for now. After a few days, the teahouse really can't be opened."

"Then thank you Miss Zheng." Haitang looked grateful.

"Let's talk about it if it's done." Mrs. Zheng didn't dare to make a promise, so she turned around and went to the inner courtyard first.

When he saw Green Teng, Mrs. Zheng said, "Miss Green Teng, that begonia wants to ask to see the princess."

Lu Teng frowned: "What can she do? The princess can't meet just by saying something."

Mrs. Zheng smiled and said, "I told her that too, but she said that the tea shop business was not good and she couldn't continue to open up, so... Otherwise, Miss Green Vine, I'll send her away."

"The tea shop of Mrs. Quan Si's tea shop is just not doing well, it's not as good as it is about to collapse, right?" Lu Teng was a little impatient.

"I said that to Haitang too." Mrs. Zheng said, "but she was just worried that she had to see the princess and disturb the girl. I'm really sorry, I'll send her away now."

"Wait..." Lu Teng called Madam Zheng, "I'm going to see the princess now, and see what the princess has to tell her. This Haitang is lucky, maybe the princess is willing to see her."
