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

After getting drunk, Li Wanrong slept until dark before waking up. She touched her dizzy head and got up from the bed: "I want to drink some water."

Xing'er picked up the glass of water on the table and handed it to Li Wanrong.

Li Wanrong took the cup of water and drank it all. Her mind became clearer. "I'm hungry. Go to the kitchen and ask the cook to make me something to eat."

"I didn't know when my aunt would wake up, so I brought the meal back to the yard and heated it up in the kitchen." As she said this, Xing'er brought the meal into the room.

After dinner, Li Yanrong went to the yard for a walk to digest the food.

Xing Er, who was standing by, thought of the time when she met the Prince in the garden on her way back home, and had to remind Li Wanrong: "This afternoon, I helped you back and met the Prince in the garden."

Li Wanrong asked calmly, "The prince is angry."

"Angry or not angry."

Li Wanrong didn't understand what Xing'er said: "Is the prince angry?"

Any man would get angry if he encountered such a thing, but when the prince asked Xing'er to help his aunt leave, his face seemed calm: "The prince should not be angry."

"Just don't be angry."

Xing'er continued, "I just want to remind you that it's not a good idea for you and the prince to continue quarreling like this. I have found out that the prince did not go out today and has been reading in the study. You go find the prince."

"No." These days, the prince was not around, and her life was so comfortable that she would not go to cause trouble for herself: "Don't worry about it."

Xing'er wanted to persuade her, but seeing that Li Wanrong was determined to do so, she gave up. She couldn't help but worry about Li Wanrong's future in the Prince's Mansion.

The prince, who was reading in the study, was very worried about Li Wanrong. He got up and went to Li Wanrong's yard: "You are sober."

When Li Wanrong saw the prince, she no longer felt as excited as before, but the two had been together for so long that they were more like friends now: "Yeah."

The prince didn't know how to respond, so he stiffly said politely: "I'll ask the kitchen to make some bird's nest for you. Eat something light, so that your stomach will feel better."

"Thank you."

The two stood there in silence, not saying a word.

Xing'er, who was standing by, was extremely anxious. She pushed Li Wanrong and leaned close to her ear, whispering, "The prince has finally come to see you. Don't miss the opportunity."

Li Wanrong now lets their relationship take its natural course and doesn't want to force anything. She stands there unmoved.

This made Xing'er even more anxious, and she didn't know what to do.

Seeing that Li Wanrong was fine and they had nothing to talk about, the prince did not stay any longer: "I have something else to do and I will leave first. You are not feeling well. If you have anything, please let the servants come to me."

Li Wanrong nodded and watched the prince leave.

"Aunt, are you stupid? How could you let the king leave? You should keep him overnight."

Li Wanrong did not answer Xing'er's words and turned back to her room.

……

He Shulan wanted to find a concubine for her father, so she asked Nanny Chen who was standing by, "You have served in the He Mansion for so many years, you should know what kind of woman my father likes."

Nanny Chen asked in confusion, "Why are you asking this?"

"My mother has been dead for so many years, and Chen Lerong has never given birth to a male child for the He family. When my father dies, there will be no one to inherit the He family, so I want to find a concubine for my father, hoping that she can give birth to a son for the He family."

Nanny Chen has been in the backyard for so many years, and she can see He Shulan's thoughts at a glance: "Master, I like gentle and sensible people. That's how Chen Lerong was back then. She captured your heart."

He Shulan then asked, "What about appearance and figure? What kind does my father like?"

"I am not very clear about this. The master cannot be called a good man, but he is also self-disciplined. For so many years, besides your mother, there is only Chen Lerong."

He Shulan did not deny this: "I understand. I will help my father find a concubine."

Nanny Chen thought for a moment and said, "Princess of the County, since you want to help the master find a concubine, you need to find someone you can trust and keep the He Mansion firmly in your hands."

"I know, but this is also what gives me the most headache. I don't know where to find such a person." He Shulan searched for a long time in her mind, but couldn't find such a person.

"You can go buy a servant and make him a concubine for Father He."

"No," He Shulan refused immediately. The woman who became a concubine in the He family was too bad. The son born from such a woman would not be presentable and would not be able to support the He family.

Nanny Chen continued patiently, "We can buy official slaves. Most of these official slaves come from the imperial harem. They grew up in luxury and understand the struggles in the imperial harem."

He Shulan thought that Nanny Chen's suggestion was a good one: "It's better to do it today than to wait for a better day. Let's go buy a government slave today."

The master and servant left the Prince's Mansion, got on a carriage, and came to the place where official slaves were bought and sold.

In order to prevent prisoners from escaping, the place for buying and selling official slaves was set up in the government office. The gate of the government office was bustling with people coming and going.

In order to avoid being recognized, Li Wanrong put on a veil and followed the yamen runners into the government office. The official slaves were locked up in cells. Although their hair was disheveled, they were dressed neatly so that their faces could be seen clearly, making it convenient for people to buy them.

He Shulan walked around the cell. There were so many slaves that she was dazzled by the choices. She asked Nanny Chen, "Which one do you think is the best one for us to buy?"

Nanny Chen didn't know any of the many people and didn't know who to choose: "Let's go ask the yamen runners. They have the identity and background information of every official slave."

He Shulan raised her legs to move forward, but found that she couldn't move. She lowered her head and saw that the hem of her skirt was being pulled by a dirty hand. The man was locked in a cell, so she couldn't see his face. "Why are you pulling the hem of my skirt?"

A cold voice came from the cell: "I know you are buying someone, buy me!"

He Shulan walked a little closer and saw a beautiful face in the darkness. Her oval face was covered with delicate features and her eyes were full of charm. "How did you know I was buying someone?"

"I just heard your conversation with the servants, so I know you are buying a government slave. My father was a fifth-rank official. Because he offended the eldest princess, the men in the family were exiled. My mother couldn't stand the shock and committed suicide, and I was sold as a government slave."

He Shulan thought the girl in front of him was pretty good, so he didn't go to the yamen runners, but decided to buy her immediately: "I'm not buying a servant, but a concubine for my father."

The girl nodded without hesitation. Being someone's concubine was her best destiny. It was better than serving others every day. If she continued to stay here, her fate might be even more miserable. "I do."
