The Princess's Deadly Daily Life
Chapter 29 Finding the Lady Named Shanluo
"Quite a lot." He looked at the copper coins in his hand, wondering how many bowls of delicious water-infused soup he could buy.
"Just put it in your pocket. Your husband has helped me a lot. Otherwise, this letter could not be delivered and I would have to think of another way. If I can't, this letter will just rot in my hands." Li Xi smiled, feeling relieved that she had accomplished something.
"Just now, my lady said she wanted to see me twice?" Han Qi took the letter with both hands, put it close to his body, and then expressed a little doubt.
She said, "The day before yesterday, you spent a hundred gold coins to save a woman from the brothel madam! But is it true?"
He didn't comment, "I didn't expect you were there at the time."
Li Xi looked at the wound on his face and asked in confusion, "Did you get the wound on your face because you were brave enough to do something righteous?"
Han Qi smiled with shame, "There are countless people in this world who are like fish in a dry ditch. How can I save them every time I meet them? To be honest, this is because of my grandfather who beat them up."
My grandfather was an honest official in the court. When he heard that his son was redeeming a prostitute from the brothel owner, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Despite this, he still scraped together a hundred gold coins to help the son, but he could not avoid a scolding.
One hundred gold is not a small amount of money. He threw the problem to his grandfather without blinking an eye. It would be a surprise if he didn't get beaten.
"To be honest, I went out today just to return the indenture contract to that lady." He pointed to the indenture contract in the maid's hand.
Upon hearing that, she took the deed from Yueji's hand. This deed of sale was indeed from the brothel. She opened it and looked at the signature in the corner. It was exactly the same as the one that the brothel madam tricked her into signing the day before.
"Shanluo?" The two words under the fingerprint at the signature were somewhat eye-catching.
"Madam, do you recognize her?" He was slightly surprised.
Li Xiying nodded, "I guess I know her, but I didn't know what she looked like before."
There was a hint of compassion in her tone. The scene in her mind switched instantly and was still fresh in her memory: the gap in the door, the old lady who pushed her into the door, and the murderer who stood by and looked at the dying old lady on the ground with indifference...
The scenes were vivid in her mind, "But..." She thought for a while. Since someone had delivered the letter, the purpose of this trip was accomplished. Since the purpose was accomplished, she might as well go and see Shan Luo. "I'll go with you."
"Why do you want to go?" When Yue Ji heard that Li Xiying was going to go with the man to deliver the indenture, she hurriedly asked the question that Han Qi also wanted to ask.
Yueji thought, it's just a contract of sale, wouldn't it be better to burn it? Why bother delivering it in person? It would be a waste of time.
Li Xiying stopped leading the way, turned around and looked at the maid behind her and said, "Well...if you are willing to follow me, then follow me. If not, go back to the mansion first, and I will be there soon."
Yueji lowered her head, feeling a little dissatisfied, "Since I followed her out, how can I go back alone?" If the lady asked, what would she say? Who would have thought that this lady would follow a stranger before she finished her business?
Li Xixiao saw through the maid's thoughts and said nothing more. It was up to her to go or stay.
The old lady has now been buried in the earth, but her obsession had already infected Li Xiying's heart with her love for her granddaughter when she mistook Li Xiying for Shanluo and hid her in the cupboard to protect her.
She secretly thought of finding the lady named Shanluo and conveying what her grandmother wanted to say to her before she died. This would also be an explanation to the grandmother.
The exaggeration is that there is no coincidence in the world. I went to the brothel to look for her the day before yesterday, but the madam insisted that there was no such person. Who would have thought that as soon as I left, she escaped from the building. Fortunately, I met Han Qi.
And now, after many twists and turns, the person who saved her is right in front of her, so she feels that there must be a destiny in all things.
She is both unfortunate and lucky, but life always gives her a ray of light in misfortune, as the saying goes, fortune and misfortune go hand in hand.
In this way, Li Xiqi and Han Qi led the way, and the servant and Yueji followed behind.
We took a carriage halfway and arrived in no time.
I never thought that the outside of Shanluo's house had changed a lot. There were many people busy inside and outside, painting, repairing tiles, laying stones and building steps.
There was a strong man climbing on the roof to replace the tiles. As he was changing the tiles, he talked to the young man standing by the escalator, "Hey, it's really good to be a bad guy. You can help the weak and fight against the strong, and you can get everything."
"Who says it's not? This old house may be a little small, but it's comfortable to live in."
An older craftsman removed the door that had fallen into disrepair over the years and said loudly, "These people rely on the bad guys, but they are also afraid of them. Alas, good and evil are just a matter of thought. If I didn't have elderly parents and young children to take care of, I would have joined this organization, and I could have both delicious food and spicy drinks..."
She was absolutely sure that this was where the old lady lived before her death, but wasn't the murderer who killed her mother already in prison? Wasn't it said that he could not escape death?
Hearing these people talking about the Bad Guys, could he be the one who paid for repairing the house?
The day before yesterday, that bad guy stared at the house for a long time, and I guess he took it for himself.
Li Xi was about to go in when Yue Ji stopped her, "Hey, lady, are you going in like this?"
Normally, to enter someone else's house, you need to get the owner's permission. What are you doing by just barging in?
Yueji rolled her eyes secretly. She thought that this woman was worthy of their husband. In her opinion, this "girl from a noble family who has fallen on hard times" was so ignorant of etiquette that she was just an ordinary woman.
Li Xizhen then asked the craftsman in front of the door, "Excuse me, is Miss Shanluo in there?"
Several people shook their heads, "What little lady? This is now the residence of the bad guys."
"He's just a big, strong man. If you're looking for a young lady, his wife hasn't even given birth to a girl yet!"
A few people seemed to have found something funny and burst into laughter.
"The daughter of the original owner of the house is not here?" Han Qi's face showed worry.
That day he did not send her home and left. She said she was afraid that if she went with him, she would be seen by her acquaintances and cause gossip.
I came here today to return the indenture, and also declared that I would not see her. I will hand her over to her family, and I also want to warn them as a grandfather not to push their daughter into the fire again.
But I didn’t expect that she didn’t go home at all in the past two days, and her house was occupied by someone?
"Wasn't the original owner's daughter sold to a brothel? Her grandmother was beaten to death by her grandfather, and he even beat her mother to death. Her grandfather should be executed, too."
……
In the dilapidated and leaky woodshed, a woman curled up beside wet firewood, her petite body tightly covered by a loose men's robe.
The woman was in a trance, with no expression on her face, but tears kept wetting her cheeks. Her lips were cracked but she kept muttering the word "grandmother".
The door creaked open, as if calling back her soul. The rough sound made her whole body tremble and her shoulders tremble.
"It's been a long time, and you still haven't figured it out?"
The man who came in closed the door tightly, his heart pounding. Looking at the woman who couldn't avoid his gaze, he took two steps at a time and snatched the wrist that she was trying to shake him off, "You have a bad temper. I don't mind you coming out of the building!"
