Shen Chuwei carried Xuetuan toward the corner where stinky tofu was sold and from a distance, saw that the notice board was surrounded by people, all of them sighing and lamenting.
"I thought someone had gone missing with such a commotion, but it turns out it's just a bird that's lost."
"You're just unsophisticated. The pets from the palace are very precious, more important than even your life. Of course, they must be found if lost."
Shen Chuwei, driven by curiosity, squeezed into the crowd and saw an Imperial Edict posted. The edict announced that a colorful feathered bird had gone missing from the palace and offered a reward for its return, with an illustration of the bird attached to the right. Its head resembled a parrot, yet its tail had elements of a phoenix, and its body somewhat resembled a pheasant...
With such an ambiguous drawing, finding it would be a miracle!
Shen Chuwei was just there for the spectacle. After watching, she held Xuetuan and went to buy stinky tofu.
