The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

Chapter 114 Are you hungry?

The Central Plains woman was not convinced and snorted coldly: "I advise you to let me go, otherwise this village will not be in unnecessary trouble because of you!"

There were a few more blood holes on Shi Ye's face, but he smiled happily, pointing at the young lady's fair face for everyone to feast their eyes on. Even though the young lady did not cooperate, he did not feel that he was humiliating her.

Seeing the confused and envious looks along the way, Shi Yu explained loudly: "This young lady is shy. You should know that this is the matchmaker introduced by Madam Qiao. I will marry her tonight. Everyone remember to come to my place to take a look, and don't forget to send gifts!"

Bahar's eyes paused and met the gaze of the Central Plains woman. He discovered that there was no timidity in the woman's eyes, only inquiry.

Bahar could not help but frown. His daughter's letter was probably about this woman, saying that she was a real Tang princess...

Bahar took a quick look and felt that he was courting disaster. He was afraid that he would attract Long Qi again, so he hurriedly approached and angrily scolded Shi Yu in a deep voice, "Who told you to bring the Central Plains woman back to the village?"

Li Xiwei stopped talking and silently observed everything here. Seeing the tall and upright old man scolding Shi Wei, he felt that there seemed to be a glimmer of hope.

Shi Yi shrank his neck in fear, "Elder Baha is here..." He was subconsciously afraid, but not because he was afraid of doing something wrong. Instead, he had been in awe of Elder Baha since he was a child, and his pride was extinguished by half.

"Yes... yes, it was Madam Qiao who introduced me to a matchmaker. Now this young lady is my wife. Naturally, I have to bring my wife back to the village..."

What he said was obviously not confident enough.

Bahar's raised eyebrows became even more furrowed. Who said that this was a problem brought to him by his daughter? Even if Xian'er hadn't sent a letter, this woman was already quite good. If Long Qi was not stopped from coming to find out what was going on, it would probably lead to a huge misunderstanding, which would be a loss!

This girl is really in big trouble!

He narrowed his eyes, his beard fluttering with his breathing, "No need to shout, too much joy will lead to sorrow, too much joy will lead to sorrow!"

Shi Yi wanted to say something, but shook his head violently, "The elders are teaching me not to howl anymore, not to howl anymore..."

Li Xizhen listened and felt that the old man in front of him could be a breakthrough, so he said, "If you just let me go, I will... uh uh."

A large, calloused hand covered her mouth in panic. It was Shi Yu. "Elder, don't listen to her nonsense! I'll take her away right away!"

Bahar's heart was pounding like thunder, but fortunately he stopped it in time. He turned his head to look inside the hall, and waved to Shi Yi when he turned back.

Shi Yu thought the old general was signaling him to leave quickly, so before he could even finish his words, he hurriedly dragged Li Xixiu away in ecstasy.

The next moment, the old general said, "I didn't ask you to take her away! Lock her up in the cellar first, and go back and do whatever you need to do!"

Shi Xi's pupils trembled. As soon as the elder finished speaking, a woman next to him came towards Li Xi, "Why... why?"

The woman followed the order and pulled Li Xiwei away from Shi Wei and took her away.

Li Xiying seized the opportunity and said, "If you let me go, I will not pursue the matter. Otherwise..."

Her mouth was stuffed with cloth, making it difficult for her to make any sound.

At Bahar's signal, he was quickly taken away from the place.

Before Shi Yu could react to the old general's intention, he was taken away. The old general knocked on his head and scolded him in a low voice: "Don't think that I don't know who she is just because you don't tell me! You said you would kidnap a Central Plains woman? You have caused me a lot of trouble! Now go and call Qiao Xian back, it will be considered as a reward for your crime!"

Shi Yu had a bitter face, not understanding what he had done wrong. How could he just lose his wife of such age?

"Go quickly!"

Although the old general is old, his voice is still as loud as a bell. He does not intend to make any explanation, and the powerful order is beyond doubt.

Shi Yu didn't dare to arrest Madam Qiao, so he could only listen to it with resentment for the time being, and couldn't help muttering a few words. Although he was unwilling, he didn't dare to say anything.

I thought I had won the beauty, but I had to leave here sadly. If I had known this, I would not have been so ostentatious.

When the old general turned around, he saw Long Qi standing behind him with his eyes downcast. He was really shocked and explained, "That woman relied on her ability to speak a few words of Central Plains dialect to bully her husband's honesty. She is having a quarrel with her husband's family and embarrassed you, my dear husband."

Seeing that there was nothing wrong with him, the old general invited him in to continue eating.

……

Li Xiwei was taken to a cellar by several women with their faces covered.

She looked around blankly. The cellar was dark, damp and smelly. There was a place that was specially made to look like a cage, where a woman about fifty years old was imprisoned.

This woman was different from the women and children in the cellar. She was extremely skinny and looked like a skeleton.

When she reached the door, the chain on the door lock was opened, and the person behind her pushed her, causing her to fall down and be locked together with her.

As I got closer, I could see the woman's face clearly in the dim candlelight. Although her cheeks had wrinkles due to her age, there were no obvious pimples or bloody holes.

Although she saw Li Xiying out of the corner of her eye, she didn't react at all. She just sat there in a daze, looking distracted and not saying a word.

Although she was imprisoned underground, she finally didn't have to deal with Shi Yi anymore. But she couldn't relax. Looking at this woman who looked like a zombie, she knew that she had suffered a lot of inhuman torture.

The woman who escorted her down left her behind, locked the door and left. There was no one else here except her and this woman.

The lights on the wall were dim. Li Xiying sat in a haystack nearby, which was the only place that was not so damp.

The woman came over and helped her untie the ropes on her hands, then she said quietly, "Which princess are you, and why are you imprisoned here like me?"

Li Xi was startled and rubbed her wrists after untying the rope.

Unlike the cold look just now, the woman's eyes suddenly became bright. She then realized that the woman had a dignified demeanor. Although she was wearing coarse cloth clothes, which were stained by years of dirt, it was inexplicably out of place.

"Who are you?" Li Xiwei was puzzled, not knowing how the woman opposite her determined her identity.

My stomach growled again and again...

The woman pulled at the skin on her face, as if she was smiling. She picked up a package of oil-paper wrapped things beside her and slowly opened it as she walked. "Are you hungry?"

Li Xiying didn't dare to nod, being wary of what she was going to do.

The woman handed her the opened oil paper and said, "Eat it, and talk after you are full."

Li Xixiao was slightly surprised, looking at the cake in the oil paper, and hesitated for a while. This man was so skinny that his bones were just visible, how could he actually hide food?

But she hadn't eaten all day, and her stomach had been protesting for a long time. Without hesitation, she took the bag of food, picked up a piece, put it in her mouth, and took a bite.

"Cough cough..." He forced himself to swallow the cake and then vomited it out in disgust. Under the dim light, he couldn't see anything wrong with the cake, but when he smelled it carefully, he could tell that it had a moldy smell.

Perhaps the smell from the cellar was too strong, covering up the taste of the cake, so that she felt more uncomfortable after eating it than without eating it.

The acid in my stomach was churning, and the sour and rotten taste in my mouth was rushing straight into my nose.

She had never eaten rotten food in her life, and had no idea that rotten food tasted like this.

The woman thought she was choking, so she quickly brought a bowl of water nearby and gave it to her to drink.

Li Xiying took the water. This time she was careful. She smelled it and found there was no strong odor, so she used it to rinse her mouth.

"puff……"

Li Xiying couldn't swallow it, and the bitter taste in her mouth spurted out onto the floor. She looked at the woman in front of her in amazement, "What kind of water is this?"
