The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

"My lady, it's getting late. We should go back." Yueji reminded her in a slightly impatient voice from behind. Her good impression of Li Xiying had already been completely worn away bit by bit.

After returning, she will definitely pour cold water on those who speculate that Li Xiying is a lady from a noble family!

Seeing that they were in a hurry to go back, Shan Luo said anxiously, "My two benefactors, my house has been occupied by someone else. Now I am alone and have nowhere to stay..." Shan Luo knelt down again and said, "I am willing to follow you and work like a slave. I am willing to do anything for you... as long as... as long as you give me a bite to eat."

Han Qi was stunned, with a conflicted look on his face. How could he not know her embarrassing situation?

But his father was still angry and he did not dare to disturb him at this time. Besides, Mrs. Li was from another place and might not be able to take her in.

He then sighed and said, "To be honest, my father is still angry. If I bring a woman back for nothing, I'm afraid... no... I mean..." Before he finished speaking, he shyly took off his pocket and gave it to her, "You can keep this money first. You can stay in the hostel for a few days. As for the house, I will find a way through Grandpa, okay?"

It's not impossible to take her back, but it will take time for Grandpa to agree to have this woman who used to live in a brothel around him.

Shan Luo concealed the gloom in his eyes and returned the purse to him, "Thank you for your kindness, sir. I can't take any more money from you."

She knew that she owed him too much. Whether he redeemed her or arranged a place for her to live, if she still wanted him to beg her grandfather to take back her house, how could she be worthy of that?

Li Xixiao saw Han Qi helping the girl up with a guilty look on his face. Since he couldn't take her in, and a young lady like her wandering around alone, she might not be so lucky if she met a criminal again, so he said, "Well, follow me first, and we'll talk about the future later."

Under the equally unexpected gazes of Han Qi and Yue Ji, Li Xiying supported her arm and said, "Don't kneel down all day long. Let me tell you in advance, following me is not a long-term solution. I will pay attention to where you can settle down. When I settle down, you can follow me as long as you want."

She had a confused look on her face and her eyes were red and unblinking.

What does it mean to find a place to settle down and make a living?

"Don't get me wrong. Women can also make a difference in this world. There are women serving as officials in the palace, not to mention women in the civilian world. Embroidery, dyeing, clothing, picking tea, selling, net making, fishing, etc. There will always be something suitable for you. Your goal is just to make a living, right?"

Besides, the Prime Minister's Mansion is not an easy place to stay. That Qi and the others are eyeing her covetously. If any action is taken by them, it will harm others.

When Shanluo heard that Li Xiying was trying to find a way to make a living for her, she nodded vigorously. She felt that all her luck in this life had run out at this moment, and no amount of gratitude could express her feelings.

Han Qi took out a crumpled piece of contract paper from his sleeve and handed it to her, saying, "This is a contract of sale. You are a free person, so of course you can have your own place to live."

Shan Luo took the contract of sale blankly, nodded to Han Qi and said tearfully: "I am afraid that the money that Mr. Han paid for my redemption will be difficult to repay in this lifetime, but I will do my best to repay you. Mr. Han, please keep this contract of sale for me."

She thought that the world had become dark, but there were still people who were willing to sacrifice their lives for her freedom and did so many things. She knew that the more she owed someone, the harder it would be to repay their kindness. She could only rely on her wife's words to have a place to settle down and repay her kindness slowly in the future.

"Son, who...who hit you?" An old man's distressed voice came from a house not far away.

After hearing it at the corner, they looked at each other in silence, their lips curled up unconsciously, and they left in a hurry.

Just as they were almost there, Li Xiying paused and kept his gaze on her for a while.

Shanluo also lowered his head in confusion and looked at himself in the direction she was looking.

If a pool of water could reflect a person, she would definitely see that she was disheveled, ill-fitting, and in a state of disgrace. She had slept on her grandmother's grave for a night, and was dragged by Zhang Er. Her loose men's robe was already filthy. Although it hung at her heels, it barely covered the fact that she had no shoes or socks. The ground was rough and uneven, and her bare feet had already been hurting, but she just endured it.

Now Li Xi looked at her with a frown, thinking that she couldn't enter the Prime Minister's Mansion in this state.

When their eyes met, Shanluo couldn't help but look embarrassed, awed and inferior.

There were no ready-made clothing stores nearby, but there were definitely women of similar age.

Li Xi took Shanluo, who was out of the situation, to find a commoner's family with a daughter. Han Qi stepped forward to pay the money and bought a complete set from head to toe.

Before Shan Luo could even utter the word "thank you", Han Qi raised his hand to stop him. Well, what he had done could not be resolved with just a word of thanks.

Fortunately, although it was an old skirt made of coarse cloth, it fit her very well, making Shanluo look even more delicate and charming. After a slight combing of her hair, she no longer looked as disheveled as before.

Because of what happened with Zhang Er, Han Qi escorted the others to the prime minister's residence and felt relieved only after watching them enter the residence.

But the three words "Prime Minister's Mansion" under the plaque surprised him for a long time, and then he left.

When Yueji saw the two of them entering the mansion, she stopped Shanluo first and said in a businesslike manner, "My lady, you can't just enter the backyard of the prime minister's mansion as you please. Let me inform the lady before going in."

Shan Luo stood behind Li Xiqi, looking at the huge and unfamiliar mansion in front of her with confusion. She was illiterate and didn't know what was written on the plaque, but judging from the soldiers guarding the door, it must be the home of an official.

The maid in front of her, who had become so intimidating without even getting angry, really made her already reserved heart tremble even more.

"Okay, go ahead." Li Xiying said. The soldier did not stop her, but she stopped him at the door. However, before letting Shanluo enter the backyard, the maid would naturally inform him in advance.

The two of them waited for a while before they saw a graceful lady not far away, followed by her trusted maidservants and a group of maids walking slowly towards them.

Shan Luo's heart skipped a beat. If her guess was correct, the noble lady in the lead must be the official's wife. Their grand and intimidating appearance made her feel intimidating. Somehow she lowered her head and stood behind Li Xiying, wishing she could block her completely.

Madam Xiang smiled and took Li Xiying's hand and said, "How come you stopped our lucky star? It really made the child feel wronged. What's the maid's name? She really deserves to be punished!"

"Madam, it's 'rose'." The old woman beside her reminded.

"Yes, yes, yes. Remember to ask her to accept the punishment."

Madam Xiang raised her voice and said to them, "She saved Yihuan, which was equivalent to saving the bloodline of the Xiangfu. Fortunately, she gave birth to a son smoothly, and both mother and child are safe. She is not only a lucky star but also a benefactor!"

Li Xi was caught off guard by the Prime Minister's wife's enthusiasm.

"I almost understand everything about this young lady. She is a pitiful person. Let's not talk too much. Come with me to have dinner." As she said this, the lady took Li Xiying's hand affectionately, talking and laughing intimately all the way.
