The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

Li Xiyi thanked the gift repeatedly and told her grandmother to give the money. She said, "I know businessmen like to make friends, but the reward should be accepted."

Grandma did the same, and handed the money to a maid beside her. She said to the mistress of the Zhang family, "You don't have to refuse anymore. Our owner is in a hurry to get on the road. If she can accept the money, she can sit in the carriage with peace of mind."

After hearing this, the mistress of the Zhang family hesitated for a moment, but finally acquiesced that the maid had accepted the money from Grandma, and said with a smile, "I have never met the owner of the manor before, but after seeing him today, I admire his generosity. Then I will accept it! Since the owner of the manor is in a hurry to leave, I will not stay any longer."

Amber helped Li Xiying get on the carriage. Awu covered his face with a piece of cloth and drove the horses outside the carriage with a coachman.

There was still a little evening light in the sky at this time, and it would be dark in another quarter of an hour.

But when he was about to set off, he saw a large number of gift-giving and marriage-proposing teams coming with music and dance not far away, blocking the path that Li Xi's carriage had to pass.

As the carriage couldn't pass, it had to stop there for the time being.

Amber lifted a corner of the curtain to look at the procession outside and muttered, "This looks like a dowry delivery, but it's such a big deal."

"I think it's a betrothal proposal. The servant carrying the box is dressed quite festively, so the box might contain betrothal gifts for the bride. And the one walking in the middle is obviously the matchmaker, so that's the family they're going to propose to." Pearl analyzed and guessed.

Daimao pouted and said, "The line is so long, I wonder how long it will take?"

"Fortunately, we are inside the carriage and no one can see us through it. But I still can't help but worry about what we should do if the villain in the village finds out that we have escaped and catches up with us?" Grandma said worriedly.

Li Xixiao was bored and looked through the window. She happened to see the scene of the villa in the distance. She saw the thick smoke gradually dissipating.

Obviously, it is not so easy to control and extinguish the fire, so it will probably take some time to wait for the evil thieves to find it and come back.

But no one can determine whether this period of time is long or short.

Just as they were waiting for the marriage proposal team to pass by and leave, they unexpectedly saw the team walk straight to the door of Zhang's house and stopped.

Then, boxes of gifts were carried straight to the inner hall of the Zhang family. The matchmaker's voice was deafening: "Oh, congratulations, we are here on behalf of the young master of the Xiangguo Mansion to propose marriage to the young lady of the Zhang family!"

Li Xiying naturally heard it, and then she understood it but felt strange. Wasn’t the young master from the Prime Minister’s Mansion Zhu Yougui?

Zhu Youzhen is Zhang Zhusi's cousin, and Zhu Yougui was born to a military prostitute. Logically speaking, Zhu Yougui cannot be the one to marry.

Seeing that the hiring procession was long and slow, Amber couldn't help but ask her grandma, "Grandma, who are the Zhang family?"

Seeing Amber's curiosity, Grandma looked at the princess. The princess asked her to speak frankly, so she slowly said, "The Zhang family was originally an ordinary family. It was only because the mistress of the Zhang family, her sister, had been married to Zhu Wen, but now she has died of illness. The Xiangguo Mansion was offering a marriage proposal, so it was naturally Zhu Wen's intention to marry his son, so his niece was naturally the first choice."

Seeing that the road was clear, the carriage slowly set off.

All I could hear was Zhang Zhusi crying loudly: "Mother, I don't want to marry Zhu Yougui, I don't want to!"

The matchmaker laughed: "I hit my mouth, I hit my mouth! It was the third son Zhu Youzhen who proposed the marriage. Ouch, I slipped my tongue for a moment. Damn it, damn it!"

As the carriage went farther and farther away, the noisy sound became farther and farther away until it could no longer be heard.

The driver outside asked Li Xiying, "I wonder which market the owner of the manor will go to after arriving in Luoyang City?"

Li Xiying hesitated for a while. She wanted to go to her fourth uncle's place, but now she rejected this idea. Her fourth uncle was newly married, and it would not be good for her to rush over to disturb him. She immediately replied, "When we get to the city, just find an inn to drop us off."

Grandma was extremely confused, but only stopped questioning after seeing her firm gaze.

Li Xiying said to them in a soft voice: "I know that you will have nowhere to go after you leave here. So I plan to stay at the Luoyang Inn for a while, and then carefully find a small house for you to live in. Then you can continue to stay with me, and I can still afford to support you."

She had long realized that their not leaving did not mean they did not want to leave, but that they just did not have a suitable place to go.

She has a lot of real estate under her name, and if she sells it, she'll get a considerable sum of money. She should be able to live a worry-free life for the rest of her life.

Several maids' eyes were red, and they all nodded, saying in unison: "As long as the princess doesn't chase us away, we will go wherever the princess goes."

The princess treated them well, was generous and had a good temper. Sometimes she treated them like her own sisters. Where could one find such a good host?

They laughed, and Wu also peeked out and said, "Don't forget Wu, Wu too!"

"Okay, follow me, and you won't starve!" As she spoke, her smile suddenly stopped. "I'm just afraid that if you follow me, you'll fall into such inexplicable danger again."

Amber shook her head, "I'm not afraid!"

Li Xixiao sighed and glanced at their eyes, each with their own expression, and then asked doubtfully: "Aren't you afraid?"

Everyone said in unison that they were not afraid, but Daimao remained silent. After a long while, she hesitated and said under everyone's gaze: "I... I am not afraid either."

Li Xiying held her hand, pursed her lips and said, "Everyone would be afraid. After all, life is only once. Maybe I should find a way to hire some powerful people to protect you, so you won't be afraid."

No one likes to live in fear, so we should take precautions before they happen!

The journey in the carriage was unusually quiet. It was dark outside and the maids in the carriage were already tired. They dozed off against the wall during the bumpy ride.

They didn't wake up until they arrived at an inn in Luoyang City. They got off the carriage one by one, and after the coachman drove away, they also went into the inn.

Li Xixiao breathed a sigh of relief, then asked the shopkeeper for a few rooms to stay in, and planned to make other plans after dawn tomorrow.

At that time, there were still a few guests in the inn drinking and having supper, and it was obvious that it was already late at night.

By the time Li Xi finished her bath, it was already the You hour.

She sat by the window of the inn looking at the night view outside. She was exhausted and just wanted to rest early, but at this moment she was no longer sleepy and was daydreaming.

Because Grandma, Awu and the maids lived in other rooms, they wanted to leave two to serve them by the bed as usual, but they couldn't resist her because she wanted them to have a good night's sleep, so they had to accept the arrangement.

The solitary guest house was very quiet with the door closed.

Through the gaps between the eaves of the buildings, she saw the moon, which was mostly obscured. Before she knew it, it had reached the zenith. All she could see was the deserted street outside the window and the branches of the trees that looked like a blur in the night sky.

The cool breeze blew on my cheeks, and the grief and anger that had burned in the village during the day was completely released in my heart at this moment when no one was around.

They advised her not to burn down the manor, but... she had to give it a try for the future of herself and the remaining maids.

After all, she was unable to keep the farm that her grandfather gave her.

She wiped the tears from her face, picked up the cold wine prepared on the table, poured a full glass, and drank it down.

I was half drunk when I suddenly saw a bloody figure flash by and suddenly rushed in from the window.

She forced her eyes open, and although she couldn't recognize who the person was, she saw him fall straight in front of her.

Before she could figure out what was going on, she was already drunk as a bee and had no idea what was going on.
