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

Li Wanrong was so angry that she burst into tears, feeling aggrieved: "If the prince doesn't come to pick me up, I will stay here and not go back."

The soldiers began to get anxious. After paying the silver, the bandits were willing to release Li Wanrong. If Li Wanrong continued to stay here, she would be captured by the bandits again. "The prince is not coming. Something must have delayed him. You will know if you go back and ask him."

"I won't go back unless the prince comes to pick me up." Li Wanrong sat proudly on a small stone by the roadside.

The soldiers were in a dilemma. They couldn't leave Li Wanrong here in the wilderness and run back to the Prince's Mansion to report: "Auntie Li, now is not the time to lose your temper. Leave here quickly and return to the Prince's Mansion safely. The most important thing is." The soldier pointed to the bandits not far away and said, "Many bandits are at the foot of the mountain. Do you want to be caught again?"

Li Wanrong's heart beat faster. She had not forgotten her life in the prison cell on the mountain for the past few days. Without hesitation, she followed the soldiers back to the Prince's Mansion.

When the prince saw Li Wanrong was safe and sound, he reached out and held her in his arms: "I'm glad you're okay."

Li Wanrong looked at the prince coldly: "You are pretending to be so pretentious in front of me at this time. Why don't you come to pay the ransom? Why don't you come to pick me up? Why do you let the soldiers send me back to the prince's mansion?"

The prince knew that Li Wanrong was angry, and hurriedly coaxed her: "You also know my identity. If I go to the foot of the mountain to pick you up, those bandits will definitely kidnap me and blackmail the prince's mansion."

These words, in Li Wanrong's ears, were all excuses: "I don't want to hear anything. I only see the facts. You just didn't come to pay the ransom and didn't come to pick me up."

The prince looked helpless: "Okay, okay, it's all my fault. If I encounter something like this next time, I will come to pay the ransom and pick you up in person, okay?"

"You still hope that I will encounter such a thing." Li Wanrong pushed the prince away angrily.

"What I mean is, next time you are in danger, I will definitely be the first one to pick you up." The prince's words were inconsistent.

Li Wanrong did not continue to pester her.

Taohua, who was standing by and serving, glanced at He Shulan, who was sitting at the upper seat, calmly drinking tea.

The Princess of the County is so patient. The County Prince and Li Wanrong kissed me in front of her, but she could still drink tea leisurely.

Seeing the prince and Li Wanrong standing there, their behavior becoming more and more intimate, Taohua deliberately reminded them: "Auntie Li has just left the house, go wash up and have a rest."

The prince didn't like He Shulan, so naturally he didn't care about her feelings. He didn't notice anything unusual about his behavior. He took Li Wanrong's hand and left the old lady's yard.

Taohua was afraid that He Shulan would feel bad: "I will ask the kitchen to prepare some food tonight and ask the prince to eat with you."

"No need." He Shulan rejected Taohua's suggestion. Li Wanrong had just been rescued, and the prince would definitely not abandon her. Moreover, the prince would not even step into her yard, let alone have dinner with her.

……

The people kidnapped by the bandits were soon released.

When the old lady learned that no one was injured, she was completely relieved. She thought that the matter was over, but she didn't expect that it had just begun.

Those people were kidnapped in the restaurant opened by the Prince's Mansion. They paid such a huge ransom. Thinking that the Prince's Mansion had not made any statement on this matter, everyone agreed to go together to ask the Prince for compensation.

Suddenly, many people gathered in front of the Prince's Mansion, demanding compensation from the Mansion.

This made Li Wanrong very angry. The silver in the restaurant was robbed by bandits, and there were several thousand taels of silver in the Prince's Mansion. After the silver was matched, all her work during this period was in vain.

He said to the soldiers at the door: "Hurry up and drive away all the people who are gathering at the door to make trouble."

"This..." The soldiers did not dare to go forward. Those who were causing trouble were high-ranking officials in the capital. Although their status was not as high as that of the Prince's Mansion, they could not be offended easily. The soldiers stood there looking at the Prince, waiting for his orders.

For a moment, the prince didn't know what to do.

At this time, the old lady and He Shulan walked in.

The old lady glared at Li Wanrong: "You did a good thing."

Li Wanrong retorted dissatisfiedly: "What does it have to do with me? It was the bandits who kidnapped them, not me."

"Isn't it because you opened the restaurant in the suburbs? The capital is so big that you can't rent a house to open a restaurant?" the old lady said angrily.

"The prices in the capital are high, and there are no houses this big that I can rent to open a restaurant. If I open a restaurant in the suburbs, not only will the house be big enough, but I can also build a large garden at the back."

"Hmph, no matter how good the suburbs are, they are not safe. The bandits have kidnapped all the customers in the restaurant and are now gathering at the gate of the Prince's Mansion to cause trouble." The old lady became angrier and angrier as she thought about it. "Since you came to the Prince's Mansion, such things have happened again and again."

Li Wanrong didn't know how to refute and hid behind the prince.

The old lady was furious: "You are a coward at this time. Aren't you usually very arrogant and domineering?"

Li Wanrong felt so ashamed after being scolded by the old lady. With so many people outside the Prince's Mansion looking for trouble, she could only hide at this time.

The prince tried to excuse Li Wanrong: "It is useless to pursue these things now. Instead, we should think of ways to solve the troubles that have come to our door."

He Shulan replied, "We went to the gate before coming here, and those people were shouting for compensation from the Prince's Mansion. I guess they were kidnapped by bandits when they were eating at the restaurant opened by the Prince's Mansion. They must be unwilling to pay such a high ransom before coming back, and they want the Prince's Mansion to pay the ransom."

"No," Li Wanrong immediately jumped out to object. She earned that money with great difficulty and didn't want to use it to compensate those people.

"They won't let go unless we pay them the ransom money. And I think Li Wanrong should pay the money."

Instantly, Li Wanrong exploded: "Why should I be the one to pay for it?"

He Shulan smiled and said, "You opened the restaurant, and the money you earned was not deposited into the treasury of the Prince's Mansion. You kept it all. Of course, you have to compensate for this money."

Li Wanrong didn't know how to refute this: "I don't have any money."

He Shulan would not indulge Li Wanrong: "If you don't compensate him, they will continue to make trouble. By then, not only will your reputation be ruined, but they may even report you to the government."

At this time, Li Wanrong realized the seriousness of the matter. She felt as if her heart was being grabbed by someone and she couldn't breathe because of the pain. "I know. I'll put the silver in the back room."

The noise outside the Prince's Mansion was getting louder and louder, so He Shulan asked Chunxia to lead people and move the silver out.
