The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

The interior of the mansion was not much different from an ordinary house, except that it was a little more spacious and imposing. However, compared with her gentle Luoyang manor with its painted bridges and water pavilions, it was far inferior in both house construction and garden concept.

She couldn't help but feel sad. It would be great if she could go back to the farm immediately.

Not far away, an old woman stood under the pavilion with her hands folded, staring at her without blinking, making her confused.

The old woman had a serious look on her face, and her attire alone made her different from the other busy servants. Her satin jacket was shiny as new and very well ironed, without any wrinkles. She must be a capable maid who served an important person in the mansion personally.

Before she knew it, the old woman had approached and bowed her head to Long Qi behind her and said respectfully, "Mr. Qi, the lady ordered me to take this girl to her. The lady has many questions to ask her."

Long Qi hesitated and glanced at Li Xiying, as if discussing the whereabouts of a pest. "This man's origins are unknown. We should have interrogated him first about what happened today..."

The old woman looked as if she understood what he said, and responded, "Don't worry, Mr. Qi, Madam will make her own arrangements. This is also what the Lord has agreed to, so please hand the person over to me."

The old woman insisted on behalf of his wife, so he did not want to argue any more.

The prince is a person who is trying to survive in the chaotic situation of the court. How cautious and shrewd must he be to reach his current position? However, the prime minister's wife is open and honest. She has been with the prime minister for more than 20 years. Although she is worldly-wise, she still has a kind heart. Perhaps because of this, the prime minister has loved her as much as ever for ten years.

Being willing to hand this woman over to his aunt, he must have had no guard against her at all, which means that the prime minister was certain that she would not be the one to harm him.

But even if she didn't do any harm, it doesn't mean she didn't have other purposes.

There is no way of knowing whether she had planned this show in advance.

Long Qi then said: "In this case, it is better to ask my aunt to be more cautious."

"Yes, my dear, don't worry." The old woman nodded.

It seems that Li Xiying is being treated as air at this moment?

She was forced into their territory! Like a fish on a chopping block or a lamb in a wolf's den, she should be the one who was more cautious.

Long Qi leaned over to her and said, "You'd better not play any tricks, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."

His voice was like broken porcelain jumping all over the floor, very unscrupulous and very piercing, but he wanted you to bear it.

The cold tone of voice, accompanied by a threat, echoed in her ears, making her feel sick.

She rubbed her ears. How ridiculous! To her, this sentence was like a cunning mouse provoking a cat that was hiding its claws.

Her sharp claws were a gift from her grandfather, she was born with them.

The cat bared its fangs slyly: "Oh? Then I'll be looking forward to it."

The old woman took Li Xiying into the courtyard, passed through the winding corridor, passed the wing rooms and arrived at the main courtyard.

There is a rockery in the main courtyard, with flowers and green bamboos planted beside it. Next to the green bamboo is a small lake with rippling waves.

There was a bridge in the lake, and in the middle of the bridge there was a small pavilion. A pregnant woman with a big belly was sitting inside, leisurely eating fruit. Her eyes accidentally met with hers as she was looking into the distance. The pregnant woman became curious at first sight, and whispered to the maid beside her: "Whose family is that woman from? Is she a relative?"

The maid shook her head when she saw it, "I don't recognize it either."

The old woman led Li Xiying to the back hall, where sat a tall and beautiful woman with her hair in a bun. Even though she was in her forties, she did not look old at all.

"Madam, the person has been brought here." The old woman said and then stepped aside to serve.

"Would you like a cup of tea?" The woman nodded slightly, and sat at the table sipping tea with a leisurely look. Her voice was pleasant to the ear, and her every move was full of charm.

"No." Li Xi lowered his eyes slightly and took it indifferently.

It was not quite the same as she had imagined. She thought she would be "severely tortured" by the mistress, but unexpectedly the opposite happened.

But she was very curious about what other intentions this lady had.

The lady put down the teacup and looked her up and down with her bright eyes. She guessed that the woman was of good status. She had just arrived at the mansion without showing any timidity. Her frankness and openness left a good impression.

Looking at her flawless little face, he felt that no matter how calm she was, she was still a young girl in her twenties, and she should let go of her reservations. "I know a little about what happened today, but I can't help but feel apprehensive and full of doubts, so I want to find out the details of what happened, and I also want to personally thank you for saving me."

Li Xiqi raised her eyebrows, obviously she had heard correctly. It was unexpected that the prime minister's wife, who held a high position, would treat the people so kindly.

It seems that the prime minister and his wife's narration of Ma Kuang's incident was not divorced from facts or unwarranted speculation.

This is interesting. If Madam takes care of her in the future, even for just one day, that guy called Qi will not dare to treat her badly.

She said calmly, "I think Madam has a general idea of ​​what happened. She must have known that the person who drugged me was a beggar who was less than eight years old. When I caught him, he said that someone paid him to do it. The situation was urgent at the time, and I didn't intend to let him slip away. By the time I reminded the driver, the carriage was already moving. The horse went crazy all of a sudden, and I lost my balance and fell into the carriage, so according to the situation at the time, I couldn't say I rescued him."

She did not tell the details of her fall into the carriage, but I am sure the lady could imagine her situation at that time.

"After the horse went crazy, I was helpless, but fortunately that... man was the one who saved the danger. If it weren't for him, everyone in the carriage, including me, would have been in danger. Relatively speaking, I was just 'making a redundant move'." Her implication was simple. She was not used to taking credit for herself. All she had to do was to be realistic and not put the blame on herself.

The lady sat upright and nodded, guessing that the situation must have been extremely dangerous at the time, and she must be thanked for standing up, but she felt that the woman did not seem to want to appreciate her gratitude.

"Is the gentleman you are talking about Aqi?"

Although this was a question, it was also a disguised confirmation of whether she and Aqi knew each other.

However, Li Xiying's little face looked as if she was lost in thought. She felt that the question was asked deliberately. Could it be that the young man referred to the groom?

But the purple-robed official seemed to have called the man "Aqi", so he nodded hesitantly and unsurely.

The lady understood, and then continued: "As a man, it is his duty to protect his family from danger. Even a weak woman like you risked your life to save people from danger, so how could he just sit there and wait for death? You are open-minded and don't care about right or wrong. Who dares to say that you are doing something unnecessary?"
