The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

The women in the room nodded slightly as they concentrated on embroidering dragons and phoenixes, their brows slightly furrowed as they held the thread and spitted the wool. They were all around 20 years old, and there were a few young ladies who were 14 or 15 years old. From a distance, it was difficult to see their faces clearly. Cui Sanlang was just getting interested and wanted to go closer to see the embroidery patterns in their hands and add a few elegant words...

Xu Xiu Niang stepped in front of him and said, "The young lady asked you to wait for a moment. She will be out soon."

Cui Sanlang sat down again and looked at the rain outside. He felt unhappy and did not answer.

Li Xiqiao and Shanluo, who were among the embroiderers, borrowed two pieces of cloth and tied them behind their ears to cover their faces. The rain outside the door gradually subsided, and the smell of mud swept in, but how could they get out?

Cui Sanlang is on the only way to the gate, and it would be difficult to get out under his nose.

Li Xi asked the embroiderer beside her in a whisper: "Is there a back door that can lead out?"

The embroiderer raised her eyes and glanced at her, then lowered her head, pointed in the direction behind them, made a gesture, and said nothing.

Li Xi looked in the direction where the woman in the blue skirt went in, but she couldn't understand her gestures, so she asked again: "Is that the way to the back door?"

The embroiderer nodded.

"Thank you." Li Xiying and Shanluo took advantage of Cui Sanlang not looking over, lifted their skirts and went towards the back door.

A door was open and a woman's voice came from inside.

Li Xi took two steps inside and found that it was the boss lady's bedroom. The woman in the blue skirt was sitting beside the boss lady's bed and talking to her. She looked pale and had no energy at all. It seemed that she was really ill.

"Auntie," Chu Yiyi called softly.

The proprietress slowly opened her eyes, feeling weak all over. She tried to hold on and said, "I should have told my sister and sent you to see me. She must be very worried now."

"Relatives came to our house, and my mother was too busy to leave, so she asked me to come and see you, but I was still a step too late. My mother said that if that Hu merchant really dared to do anything rash, she would ask my grandfather to contact his connections to seize his property... I'm going to send a letter to my mother now!"

The woman in the room was extremely angry. The proprietress called out to her softly a few times and said, "That's all."

Li Xiying realized that they had walked into the wrong door, so she backed out. Then someone came out and stopped them, saying, "Young ladies, don't leave yet. Our lady wants you to come in and talk."

When they turned around, they found that the proprietress was looking over here and had obviously noticed them.

Seeing that they were covering their faces, the proprietress asked, "Are you the two who came last time?"

Li Xiying entered the room and took off her veil with Shanluo and said, "It's us."

The boss lady asked the embroiderer beside her, "Has Miss Xu arranged any work for the new young lady?"

The embroiderer shook her head and lowered her head and said a few words in her ear.

After hearing this, the proprietress said, "Tell Xu Xiu Niang to arrange it for her later. She doesn't need to worry about the embroidery shop. The problem will be solved soon."

The embroiderer nodded and left.

Shan Luocai said, "I understand that the embroidery workshop has encountered a sudden change and has no time to recruit. I am thinking of looking for a job somewhere else."

The lady boss said, "Once a word is spoken, it can't be taken back. How can you just say no? Just stay here without worry."

"Then I'd be honored to decline. Thank you, lady boss." Shan Luo nodded to the lady boss.

Since the boss lady was determined to keep her, there was no need for her to refuse or be pretentious.

The two were escorted out of the room, and one of the embroiderers was about to take Shanluo to work.

Li Xiying whispered to her, "Shanluo, be careful and put on the scarf. Wait until Cui Sanlang leaves before taking it off."

"Yes, take care, my lady." Shanluo said with reluctance on his face.

Li Xiying continued to put on the towel and was about to walk towards the back door, but the back door was closed.

She opened the back door and looked out. It was noisy outside, and a handsome face came into view amid the hustle and bustle. He was holding a folding fan and trying to block the door.

She was startled and slammed the door shut quickly. The door was not soundproofed well, so she could immediately hear Cui Sanlang's voice clearly.

"I saw you a long time ago. You two are the most eye-catching among all the embroiderers in the room. But I can't understand why you left so suddenly. My mother was so worried when she knew you were missing that she couldn't eat or sleep."

Hearing him say this, Li Xi knew that she couldn't stay for long for the time being, but she didn't understand why the lady was like she was suffering from lovesickness. She was supposed to move on with her new life soon after he left, so why was she so strange? "Didn't I leave a farewell letter?"

"A farewell letter? It would be better if you didn't write it. It would make her even more sad. She treated you sincerely, but you still insisted on leaving. My mother is like possessed by a witch..." Cui Sanlang lamented. He didn't know what kind of magic she had cast. His mother had never been so anxious and upset when he was sick.

Li Xi was surprised. "Then go back and tell your mother that my fourth uncle has found me and I must go back with him."

Cui Silang shook his head, put away his folding fan and said, "Mother is ill, and she keeps saying Zhi'er Zhi'er... Is Zhi'er your nickname? Why don't you come back with me? Just to help out?"

"She's sick?" Li Xi opened the back door and looked at Sanlang, who had a sincere look on his face. "Also, you don't know who Zhi'er is?"

He nodded, and saw that she had taken off her veil. Although he was prepared, he was still startled by her beauty. "I also think it's too exaggerated. Grandpa said that the first time this happened was twelve years ago. Now she is calling Zhi'er, and I always feel that it sounds familiar, but I can't remember it, so I want to ask you, is she calling you?"

Li Xiying asked, "Have you seen a doctor?"

"Of course I did. I couldn't take any medicine. I'm still running a fever. I'm confused and crying... Fortunately, I see you here. The person who tied the bell must untie it. Can you come back with me?"

"My nickname is not Zhier..." She was about to go find Shanluo, but when she turned around, Cui Sanlang stopped her and said, "Don't go." Chu Yiyi came out and saw this scene.

There seemed to be a knife in Chu Yiyi's eyes, with resentment and anger. Cui Sanlang was startled and immediately let go of Li Xiying's arm.

"Cui Di, you really can't change your nature no matter where you go. This is my aunt's house, and you are flirting with other women." As she said this, she turned and walked away with a frown and red eyes.

Cui Silang quickly caught up with him and said, "You misunderstood. Let me explain it to you."

As expected, Chu Yiyi stopped, raised her beautiful and clean face, and said, "Okay, you explain."

Cui Sanlang hesitated for a moment, then changed the subject: "I don't want to explain anymore. You will understand it later."

"Are you kidding me?" She stamped her feet and tried to pull his ears, but he dodged sideways.

"Okay, now the most urgent thing is to go back." Cui Sanlang said to her in a deep voice, and then turned to look at Li Xiying, "Are you going to leave or not? If you are here to make a living, you can go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the monthly salary must be generous. Why are you staying here?"

"What's wrong with my aunt's place? Can't I stay here?" Chu Yiyi said angrily.

Li Xiying tried to mediate: "Go back and see your mother first. If her condition still doesn't get better, then think of other ways."

She originally wanted to call Shan Luo, but she had finally had the opportunity to stay and work, and she also said frankly that she didn't want to acknowledge her as a relative. She could only ask her if she was willing to reveal the truth in exchange for acknowledging her as a relative when it was absolutely necessary. For now, she decided to go and take a look herself.

Cui Sanlang was overjoyed and bowed with a smile, "Thank you very much!" He then said to the servant beside him, "Hold the umbrella for this lady."
