Marrying a rich man after rebirth: The daily life of a legitimate daughter

Hearing Li Wanrong's words, Huo Jian was very happy: "Go pack your things now, I'll take you away."

Li Wanrong casually packed a few changes of clothes and walked to the door. Thinking that she had been with the prince for so long, if she left like this, the prince would definitely look for her everywhere. She walked to the desk, left a letter for the prince, and walked into the yard: "There are people guarding outside the gate, and there are so many servants in the prince's mansion. If we walk out like this, we will definitely be discovered."

"I'll knock out the servant guarding the gate, and we'll take a secluded path so we won't be discovered."

"Okay." Li Wanrong knocked on the gate of the yard.

After the servants opened the gate, Huo Jian, who was hiding in the dark, took the opportunity to knock the servant unconscious, then took Li Wanrong's hand and left the Prince's Mansion.

.......

The red sunset enveloped the Prince's Mansion. Xing'er returned to the courtyard with the prepared food and saw that the servant guarding the gate had disappeared. She thought that the Prince had withdrawn the servants. She happily ran into the courtyard and knocked on the closed door: "Auntie, the servants at the door have been withdrawn by the Prince. You can come and go freely."

After knocking for a long time, he got no response from Li Wanrong. He thought that Li Wanrong was still angry with the prince, so he put the food in his hand at the door and reminded Li Wanrong: "Don't forget to eat."

The next morning, Xing'er came to Li Wanrong's room door with breakfast. Seeing that the dinner placed at the door yesterday was not touched at all, she muttered softly: "Aunt, why are you on a hunger strike again?", put the breakfast at the door, took away last night's dinner and left the yard.

This went on for several days in a row. Xing'er began to lose her patience and banged on the door for a long time, but got no response from Li Wanrong. She was afraid that something might happen to Li Wanrong, so she pushed open the door without her permission.

Xing'er hurried into the bedroom, but found the tidy bed empty. She turned around and looked around the room, but found the dim room empty too. She looked flustered, not knowing where Li Wanrong had gone.

She shouted anxiously in the room: "Aunt, where are you? Don't hide and scare me." After shouting for a long time, her voice was still the only one floating in the room. Seeing the letter on the desk, she, who was illiterate, took the letter to find the prince.

The prince looked at the letter left by Li Wanrong, and his expression became more and more uglier. Li Wanrong wrote a long letter in a very eloquent manner. The general meaning was that the two of them had different views and she didn't want to stay in the prince's mansion anymore, so she packed her bags and left.

He threw the letter in his hand to the ground. Li Wanrong's methods were getting more and more powerful. She could even sneak out of the Prince's Mansion. "When did you find this letter?"

Xing Er replied nervously, "This morning."

"Has Aunt Li done anything unusual recently?"

Xing Er thought about it carefully and said, "These past few days, when I brought food to Aunt Li, she didn't take any food in."

The prince standing there felt a pang in his heart. Could it be that Li Wanrong had left the prince's mansion for a few days? "Aunt Li left a letter and ran away with someone else. I'm taking people to find her now." After saying this, he left the prince's mansion without staying.

Xing'er collapsed on the ground. She didn't expect that Aunt Li was so bold as to run away with another man.

......

Huo Jian took Li Wanrong and fled from the Prince's Mansion, but did not leave the capital immediately because he needed to go to the government office to apply for a travel permit for Li Wanrong.

Therefore, he stayed in the capital for a few days. When he finished his business, packed up his things and prepared to leave the capital, he found that the prince was leading people to search for them.

The two of them hid here and there every day. Li Wanrong was so angry that she wanted to curse. She had already said it clearly in the letter. She didn't know why the prince came to find her: "The streets are full of the prince's people now. Even the city gates are guarded by the prince. How can we escape?"

"If all else fails, we can disguise ourselves as beggars on the street and sneak out of the capital."

Li Wanrong was full of disgust: "Beggars are too dirty."

"This is our only chance." Huo Jian said patiently, "Don't mind if it's dirty at this time. The most important thing is to get out of the capital."

Li Wanrong was not talking.

The two men each took out an old piece of clothing from their bags, tore it into pieces deliberately, put it on the ground, rubbed it hard until the clothes were covered with dust, and then put them on.

Huo Jian smeared mud on Li Wanrong's fair face.

Li Wanrong kept dodging: "This mud is so smelly and dirty, please apply less. I can't stand the smell."

"You applied too little. The prince's people will recognize you. Be patient for now. Wait until you leave the capital and then wash off the mud on your face."

There was no way, Li Wanrong could only suppress her nausea and let Huo Jian torment her face.

The two men dressed up and no longer hid, walking openly on the street. As expected, the people in the Prince's Mansion did not recognize them.

This made Li Wanrong feel relieved.

The two men did not stop, but quickened their pace to the city gate, stood in line among the crowd, and soon it was their turn to be inspected.

The soldier was disgusted by the stench coming from the two men and said, "There's no need to check you guys. Leave now."

Li Wanrong was very happy. The two of them escaped the soldiers' inspection with their attire. When they were walking, they didn't pay attention to their feet and stepped on gravel and fell to the ground, exposing their white arms, which were seen by the prince who came over.

His dark eyes became sharp. How could a beggar have such fair and smooth skin? There was something wrong with this beggar. He jumped off his horse and grabbed Li Wanrong's hand: "Who are you?"

Hearing the familiar voice of the prince, Li Wanrong trembled with fear. She deliberately avoided the prince's sight, fearing that he would recognize her voice, and kept shaking her head.

Huo Jian stepped forward, pushed the prince away, and took Li Wanrong away.

The prince stepped forward to stop the two men and said, "Wash the mud off your faces. I want to see what you look like."

Li Wanrong hid behind Huo Jian in fear, cursing the prince in a low voice: "She is such a haunted creature that he could recognize her even after such an incident."

Huo Jian bowed his head and said, "We are just beggars begging in the capital, don't pollute your eyes."

The prince refused to listen. "In order to clear the suspicion of you two, you should wash the mud off your faces and let me see your appearance. If you are not the person I am looking for, I will not make things difficult for you and will let you go."

Now Huo Jian had no way to deal with it, so he pulled Li Wanrong's hand and ran towards the city gate.

He was stopped by the soldiers guarding the city gate, who shouted, "Who are you?"

The soldier picked up the bucket and poured water on the two men, washing the mud off their faces.

Li Wanrong's face caught the eyes of the prince, who grabbed Li Wanrong and said, "Come back with me."

"I've said it clearly in the letter, why are you still looking for me?" Li Wanrong kept struggling.
