The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

She looked at the grass on the ground and laughed, then continued, "I didn't know that this strange grass planted in Fourth Uncle's flower bed had medicinal uses. It's just that it's so ugly, so short and small. I'm afraid it will steal nutrients from the flowers and plants next to it. Or... plant it back."

Li Xuan picked up the grass and looked at it in his palm with a look of heartache. "This grass is extremely delicate. If you pull it out, you will damage its roots and it will be beyond saving."

He buried the grass in the soil, sighed, and continued watering.

Li Xi asked awkwardly, "Will Fourth Uncle let me leave the house?"

Li Xuan's frown deepened before it relaxed. "Your grandfather just received the news from me that you left the house. How can I explain this to you?"

She frowned and said, "Uncle, don't you believe me? How can a living person be lost? I will be back before dark."

"Fourth Uncle, you are the best to me..."

"Fourth Uncle..."

After a quarter of an hour of her persuasion, he was finally annoyed by her. He stopped what he was doing and glanced at her. "You can go out."

"Really?" She looked up at him, frowning and waiting for him to say the next half of the sentence.

He continued, "But don't run around. I will send a guard to protect your safety."

If that was the case, she could accept it.

"Then you have to tell the guards not to follow too closely. Thank you, Fourth Uncle." After saying this, Li Xiying quickly bowed to Li Xuan, went into the house and took Shanluo, who was confused, away.

Li Xuan looked at Li Xi's departing back and shook his head.

He saw a woman's figure out of the corner of his eye. She staggered along the wall, sweat beading on her forehead. She slowed down, raised her eyes and stared at the waves of clouds in the sky. The light shone on her eyelids, slightly shrinking them.

As if she felt Li Qian was looking at her, she turned her eyes away blankly, raised her lips and smiled at him, but soon she froze, watching him watering the plants seriously as if he had never looked at her, then turned around and continued to walk alone, leaning against the wall, peacefully.

Soon Li Xi and the other arrived at the embroidery workshop. At that time, the sky was full of rosy clouds and the weather was fine. When they walked into the manor, they could not see the figure of the proprietress.

When Xu Xiuniang, the manager, saw someone coming, she stopped what she was doing and walked over.

Xu Xiuniang walked hurriedly with a frown on her face, not as calm and amiable as she was last time.

They stood in the backlight, the light outlining their silhouettes. Xu Xiu Niang took two steps closer before recognizing them. She sighed and whispered, "You should find other jobs. We are not short of manpower here."

Shan Luo was stunned. Seeing her turn around and leave after she finished speaking, he hurriedly asked, "Mrs. Xu, can you tell me why? After all, I had already agreed with the boss lady two days ago that I would come in the next two days. It's still the agreed date. Did you hire someone else?"

Xu Xiu Niang shook her head and sighed. Seeing that the two young ladies were from good families, she should tell them the reason and give them an explanation. So she said, "It's okay to tell you. No one else has applied for the job in the past two days, and our boss lady hasn't posted a notice to recruit other people. It's just that a while ago, a wicked merchant relied on his strong backing to trip up the boss lady. She didn't show it on her face in the past two days, but she has been exhausted for a long time. Yesterday, the merchant came to ruin the embroidery workshop. The boss lady was angry and annoyed, but the disease came like a mountain, and it's difficult to cure the disease even if she invites a doctor. Alas, not only can we not afford to hire outsiders..." When she said this, she lowered her voice and said in their ears, "Most of the embroiderers here may be dismissed, and even I am afraid that I can't escape the twists and turns."

Li Xi raised an eyebrow: "Is it so serious? What kind of businessman is so arrogant?"

"Well, I've told you everything I know. I've told you so much as to explain to you. It's not that our boss lady doesn't want to hire you, but there is really an unexpected change, and there's nothing we can do even if we hire you. In other words, you should find another job." Xu Xiuniang had no time to chat anymore. She sighed repeatedly and went back to her work.

They looked at the embroidery workshop, which was filled with a gloomy scene. It seemed that every embroiderer was busy with her work, but in fact they were all in a hurry, with their eyes wandering and their minds absent.

"It's true that there are unexpected changes in the weather and people are subject to misfortunes and blessings at any time." Li Xiying said in a low voice.

Shanluo nodded, and his heart began to worry.

As soon as the two of them went out, they found that the sky was slightly darkening. Gray clouds had secretly lurked in the clouds without anyone knowing when, and in an instant, they summoned thousands of troops and horses, and the black pressure gathered together to form a large area.

A lady came hurriedly from not far away. She was wearing a blue dress and followed by two maids. She walked into the embroidery workshop with brisk steps.

Suddenly, raindrops began to fall, and the rain became heavy.

Xu Xiu Niang called Li Xichen and the others to go into the embroidery workshop to avoid the rain and stop for a while before leaving. Li Xichen just nodded when she saw her startled and went to meet the young lady in blue skirt.

Not far away, leisurely following the woman in blue skirt, was a tall man about a hundred meters away. He looked really like Sanlang from the Prime Minister's Mansion.

He walked towards me slowly, neither hurried nor slow.

When she saw clearly that it was indeed him, she had no choice but to pull Shanluo into the village to hide.

I just got rid of Silang yesterday. If Sanlang recognizes me, it will cause trouble.

Xu Xiu Niang came up to the blue-skirted lady and said to her, "Young lady, how did you find time to come here?"

The young lady asked anxiously, "Xu Xiu Niang, why are you so sad? How is my aunt?"

Xu Xiu Niang smiled bitterly and said, "I'm resting in the house. I fell ill yesterday."

The young lady walked in and said, "Is it really that serious? These past few months, my mother and my aunt have been exchanging letters from time to time. I learned that my aunt seemed to have gotten into some tough trouble and she couldn't leave home. She was so anxious that she asked me to go ahead and visit my aunt on her behalf."

The woman in the blue skirt was very angry. "Who is backing that Hu Shang? That bastard is really taking advantage of others. What immoral thing did he do to make my usually healthy aunt so anxious that she fell ill?"

The maidservant next to her thought of her mistress' instructions and whispered, "Young lady, Cui Sanlang is following behind you, you'd better be careful."

She glanced at Cui Sanlang who was a hundred meters behind her, smiled slightly, and waved her hand, "He already knows what kind of person I am. Even if he doesn't know, he will know sooner or later. If he is scared like this, then he is not worthy of being my husband."

The maid curled her lips and had no choice but to shut up.

Xu Xiu Niang led them to the door of the boss lady's house and whispered, "The doctor said that the boss lady's qi and blood are attacking her heart, and it is difficult to dissipate. Please comfort her more, it will be helpful for her treatment."

The woman in the blue dress nodded, knocked on the door and went in.

Here, Cui Sanlang walked in slowly in the rain, and the servant behind him got wet all the way as he was holding an umbrella for him.

He sat down on a chair at one side of the lobby. The servant came in with his umbrella. He was watching the woman in the blue skirt pause before entering the inner room. He whispered a few words to Xu Xiu Niang, who nodded and made tea for his young master.

Sanlang took two sips and put it in the servant's hand.

He narrowed his eyes and scanned the people in the room.
