Li Jiuxiu has been locked in the room for seven days.

During this period, she was under strict supervision except for regularly changing the toilet bowl, waiting for her to bathe and change clothes, and the maids who delivered meals to her room.

Li Jiuxiu held the crack of the door tightly with both hands, and looked out with her whole face lying on the crack of the door.

Staring straight at the maid guarding the door, she asked in an urgent voice, "How are you doing? Has Brother Shi Nian come to see me?"

The maid's tone was full of sympathy, "Miss Li, you have asked this question a dozen times today, but the prince has not come."

"How could it be! Did you lie to me? Why didn't he come to see me?"

A few days ago, Li Jiuxiu still looked confident.

She was very sure in her heart that as soon as Song Shinian opened the book of stories, he would definitely come back to find her.

Where in the world are there people who are unmoved by the power at their fingertips?

But as the days passed, there was still no sign that Song Shinian was looking for her. How could she not be anxious?

Li Jiuxiu is obviously not a patient person.

As the days went by, her mood became more and more irritable.

There were constant sounds of things being smashed at the door.

Every time there was a loud noise from inside, the maid at the door could not help but tremble slightly.

She shook her head sadly.

Of course, the person who feels distressed is not Li Jiuxiu inside, but those priceless things.

Any inconspicuous gadget anywhere could be enough to feed their family for several years, but now it is used by Li Jiuxiu as a way to vent his emotions. It is really pitiful for those valuable treasures.

At this time, several maids walked past the door.

"Hey, have you heard about the eldest lady of the Luo family?"

"It's Luo Yan, the sister of Mr. Luo, the young minister of Guanglu Temple. She is a famous living Bodhisattva in the capital. No one in the city has anything bad to say about her. How could I not know?"

"She seems to be going out of the city to give porridge to the refugees outside recently. She is such a kind-hearted person!"

"Yes, I heard that she used all her own money. Such kind people are rare."

The voices of the two maids talking became more and more distant.

The sound of things being smashed inside the door suddenly stopped.

Li Jiuxiu suddenly approached the door, startling the maid guarding the door.

But since the last big fight between Li Jiuxiu and Song Shinian, Li Jiuxiu has become a little crazy, and the maid is used to it.

Li Jiuxiu stared directly at the maid, her whole face lying on the crack of the door, as if she wanted to squeeze her entire face out of the small gap.

"Is what they said true?"

The maid didn't react for a moment, and said blankly, "What is not true?"

"Luo Yan is going out of town to give porridge."

The maid nodded. She had also heard the news, "It's true. I heard that a lot of food was prepared! Miss Luo is really a kind-hearted person."

After saying this, the maid couldn't help but glance at Li Jiuxiu.

I heard that Miss Li and Miss Luo are old acquaintances. They both came from remote villages. Why is there such a big gap between them?

Li Jiuxiu saw the maid's gaze in her eyes, and she couldn't help but feel a trace of anger in her heart.

But her remaining sense still allowed her to suppress her anger.

She failed to kill Luo Yan last time. It must be because Luo Yan was in the capital and Luo Yan was an important official in the court. Those people were difficult to kill, so she failed.

Maybe those unlucky ghosts returned home without even seeing Luo Yan.

Li Jiuxiu curled her lips, and her eyes radiated strange excitement.

But now everything is different!

Luo Yan is looking for death and wants to leave the capital, so she can't be blamed...

Li Jiuxiu lowered her voice and tried to make her voice as soft as possible, "Qiuhua, come here."

Qiuhua is the name of the maid who guards the door. She has been waiting by her side since Li Jiuxiu moved into the Regent's Mansion.

But this was the first time that Li Jiuxiu called her name in such a soft tone.

When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Qiu Hua suddenly got goosebumps. She turned around and looked at him through the crack of the door with a wary expression.

"Miss Li, what do you want to do?"

Li Jiuxiu's voice was bewitching, as if it was spinning in the autumn wind, and finally fell gently on Qiu Hua's ears.

"I heard that your father is seriously ill and that your younger brother had one of his legs broken when he went out to look for work. Now your whole family depends on you, right?"

Qiuhua was stunned for a moment and nodded slightly.

The guard in his eyes did not dissipate, and he looked into Li Jiuxiu's eyes warily, "What do you want to do?"

She even had some differences as to why Li Jiuxiu knew so much about her family's affairs.

Li Jiuxiu curled her lips and said, "Your family is in urgent need of silver taels. As long as you let me out, I will give you 100 taels."

"No!" Qiuhua shook her head subconsciously and refused, "If I let you go out, the prince will definitely drive me out."

"Don't refuse in a hurry. Think about what 100 taels means. It will allow your father and your brother to receive good treatment, and it will also allow you to buy a smaller hospital in the capital."

"Even if you are discovered by Brother Shi Nian, you will only be kicked out. There is no loss." Li Jiuxiu looked at her eyes with a bewitching tone, "I have been in the Regent's Palace for many years, and Brother Shi Nian will soon He is going to get married to me, and although we had a quarrel a few days ago, isn't he still reluctant to kick me out?"

"As long as you do things for me, 100 taels is just a small thing. If you are kicked out, I promise you that I will let you work in the house again."

Li Jiuxiu looked at Qiu Hua's expression and said again and again, "What's more, I just went out to get some fresh air. My brother now has no time to come here to see me. He hasn't shown up in the past seven days, so he will definitely not be found."

Qiuhua looked even more struggling, "But...but..."

But she still didn't say a word of rejection for a long time.

"Qiuhua, as a daughter, you can't be so selfish. Think about your father who is ill in bed, think about your brother who has a broken leg, and then think about your mother who has not eaten the last meal."

Qiuhua gritted her teeth and raised her eyes to look at Li Jiuxiu, "I can let you out, but you have to promise that I can only go out for an hour a day, and you have to come back after the time."

Li Jiuxiu nodded hurriedly.

Although Song Shinian did not give her a status during her years living in the Regent's Mansion, he had never failed her in terms of money.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have the money to commit murder.

100 taels is just a drop in the bucket to her.

Qiuhua stretched out her hand to open the door, paused for a second with her hand on the door lock, and gritted her teeth, "Miss Li, you have to give me some silver first."

Li Jiuxiu turned around and took out a 100-tael banknote and handed it over, "Here."
