The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

Li Xiying wrung the water off her body and nodded to show that she would listen to her grandma. After all, she had never been in charge of rice or flour, and she didn't know who the Zhang family was. Since her grandma was familiar with them, it would save her some face and trouble.

"Besides, that family has business dealings with the city, and they often send ox-drawn or donkey-drawn carts to deliver rice to the grain store in the city. There are quite a few carts and horses, so there is no need to worry about hiring a cart."

As she said this, grandma was already leading the way.

Everyone quickened their pace and hurried towards Zhang's house. The village gradually seemed to be getting smaller due to the winding paths.

Li Xixiao raised her eyes and looked at Zhuangzi behind her. She vaguely saw two black shadows flying on the eaves. She couldn't help but frown, feeling a lingering fear.

Fortunately, they soon arrived at the gate of Zhang’s compound.

Grandma then stepped forward and knocked on the animal ring, and it was Zhang's servant who opened the door.

When the waiter saw that the person knocking on the door was the old lady, who was soaking wet, he immediately looked shocked. No one knew what he was thinking. He didn't invite her in or ask the reason. He just opened the door and looked at her.

Grandma was puzzled. In the past, everyone in the Zhang family greeted each other cheerfully and no one dared to offend them. Why is it like this now?

Then he thought about it and realized that perhaps the death of the maid and servant of Mu Yan Villa outside yesterday had spread to everyone in the nearby villages, not to mention the grain merchants who had always done business with them. They were probably frightened.

Just as grandma was about to say a few more words, a voice came from inside, getting closer and closer until she saw the mistress of the Zhang family herself.

"It's actually the old lady from the villa who has come. Why don't you just stand there and invite her in, you idiot?" The voice of the mistress of the Zhang family sounded behind the waiter, scolding the inconsiderate waiter with a hint of confusion and annoyance.

Upon hearing this, the waiter immediately turned around and went to the Zhang family mistress, wanting to whisper something, but the mistress raised her hand and slapped him on the head, scolding him, "You unbecoming thing, I will receive you myself, you go and do your own thing!"

The servant wanted to explain the current situation of the villa to the mistress, fearing that she would be implicated by them. However, seeing her like this, he had no choice but to leave grumblingly.

Grandma stepped forward, bowed slightly, and said, "Madam Zhang, I'm sorry to bother you." Then she stepped aside.

Li Xixiao suddenly appeared from behind and smiled. The mistress of the Zhang family could tell at a glance that her whole demeanor was unique and rarely seen by ordinary people.

The mistress of the Zhang family looked at Li Xiying and smiled back, then said respectfully, "I guess this is the owner of Muyan Villa?"

Just with a quick glance, five or six people were all wet, like people fished out of the water?

Li Xi was slightly surprised. She didn't want to reveal too much, but she didn't expect that the mistress of the Zhang family had sharp eyes and saw through it at a glance. She couldn't help but say politely: "Excuse me for disturbing you."

Grandma immediately stated her purpose and took out some money from her pocket and stuffed it into the Zhang family mistress's pocket. She explained her purpose with an embarrassed look on her face, "To be honest, there is a fire in the manor and it is no longer suitable for living. Therefore, we have to leave here with the owner of the manor today... But we have been soaked in water, so we have to ask Madam Zhang for a favor."

When the mistress of the Zhang family heard the reason, she smiled and returned the money, saying, "So that's how it is. It's just changing a few clothes. The owner of the manor doesn't mind wearing coarse linen clothes, which means he thinks highly of me." Then she winked at the maid beside her.

The maid immediately walked to Li Xiying's side, nodded slightly and said, "Master, please follow me."

Li Xiying looked at her grandma, whose expression changed slightly to indicate that everything was fine, and told her to go downstairs and change her clothes without worry.

The mistress of the Zhang family saw that they had been taken to change clothes. Because grandma was old, she took her to her own yard to change her own clothes.

On the way, I met the little girl of the Zhang family who was looking for her mother. When she saw a stranger entering the inner courtyard of her home, she looked puzzled and said, "Mother, who is this?"

The mistress of the Zhang family introduced: "This is the old lady of the villa who has been taking care of our business for many years."

Zhang Xiaonv smiled at her, walked to her mother's side and whispered, "Is she from the Muyan Villa? It is said that there is a princess living there?"

The mistress of the Zhang family naturally knew about it. Not to mention those far away, almost everyone nearby knew that there was a down-and-out princess living in Muyan Villa. However, once someone asked the people in the villa for confirmation, they all denied it.

However, unverified facts are more convincing, so for so many years everyone has kept it a secret and treated it as a rumor that everyone knows.

She gave the little girl a look, indicating that she should not discuss it in front of others and should talk about it in private.

Grandma kept saying she was sorry for the disturbance and kept praising the mistress of the Zhang family for how warmly she entertained guests and how gentle and lovely her daughter was. This made the mistress and her daughter feel embarrassed by the praise.

When they arrived at the mistress's room, grandma changed into the mistress's clothes behind the screen. After coming out from behind the screen, she thanked the mistress of the Zhang family again and again.

The mistress of the Zhang family smiled and said, "Grandma, there is no need to be polite. I have asked someone to prepare the carriage, but it is still early at this time. Grandma, why don't you talk to the owner of the manor and have a meal here before leaving?"

After hearing this, Grandma waved her hand and said, "I am already grateful for your hospitality, but my master is in a hurry to leave, so I have no choice but to decline your kindness."

When the little girl of the Zhang family heard this, she couldn't help but become curious and wanted to see the real face of the manor owner. So she went to the front hall with her mistress to wait.

Soon, Li Xiying and the others also changed their clothes, including Ah Wu, who also put on dry clothes. The group was dry and clean and waited for grandma to come to the front hall.

However, Li Xiying was slightly stunned when she saw the woman behind the mistress of the Zhang family. Her pretty and naughty face overlapped with the figure in the palace. It was exactly Zhang Zhusi.

When his eyes met Zhang Zhusi's, he met her confused yet curious gaze.

It turned out that Zhang Zhusi lived so close to her villa, but she had never seen her nearby. The absurd thing was that they met in the Luoyang Palace.

What's even more absurd is that we meet again in this way.

Because her facial features had changed compared to when she was in the palace, and she also concluded from Zhang Zhusi's confused eyes that she did not recognize her, and it must be impossible for her to recognize her.

Then she concealed her familiar look and replaced it with a smile, as gentle as a breeze.

Zhang Zhusi also smiled. It was her first time meeting the owner of Muyan Villa, and she actually felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

After thinking about it, she suddenly thought of her sister Li Qing in the palace who was proficient in pipa music theory. She remembered that on the day when sister Li Qing disappeared, she slept for several hours inexplicably. When she woke up, she had delayed her plan to go out of the palace to play music, and sister Li Qing had disappeared for a while.

Within a few days, she left the palace and never saw Li Qing again.

She is still puzzled as to how a person could disappear without a trace. When asked about Dian Le, he seemed to be very secretive about it.

The mistress of the Zhang family and Li Xiqi also exchanged a few polite words, saying that their clothes were rougher than what the owner of the manor usually wore, and that the ox cart was bumpy, and it just so happened that the family had a horse carriage with built-in cushions and something... In short, they left no stone unturned.
