In Alisa's eyes, human life is worthless.
And wasn't the same true in the eyes of the emperor of the Shang Dynasty?
For their own selfish desires, they secretly harm innocent young women. In the eyes of such people, ordinary people are like ants.
"It is what the people want and what everyone hopes for."
Fu Yuchi's eight short words immediately silenced Alisa.
Alisa didn't understand. From a young age, her father had told her that as a person in a position of power, one must safeguard one's authority. Once power is lost, wealth and glory will turn to ashes.
Their cattle, sheep, and camels will all become someone else's.
If one feels compassion for lowly and insignificant lives, one will be ridiculed by the nobility, giving others an opportunity to take advantage of one's misfortune.
Compassion is the most useless thing.
However, her idea was not accepted by the teacher, which undoubtedly made her lose face.
"Teacher, when you work for the prince, don't you have any ulterior motives?"
Alisa was unwilling to give up. She was determined to do everything in her power to satisfy Fu Yuchi's desires.
Fu Yuchi's eyes flashed, "I want to get married, have children, and live a peaceful life after the war is over."
Alisa was stunned. He didn't want power or wealth; he just wanted to live a good life.
If she weren't afraid of Fu Yuchi rejecting her, she probably would have said something like "I can too".
Even though Arisa was bold and outspoken, she knew that saying such things would put her in an extremely awkward situation, so she had no choice but to swallow her words.
Sun Miao'er felt a warmth in her heart. Thinking of the joke her master had made the other day, she became even more determined to make sure her master could live off her!
Now that several months have passed and she doesn't know how things are in Yingzhou, she suddenly remembered that she still has a major creditor in Yingzhou.
Strangely enough, after returning from the time she recruited the bandits in Fushui Village, she never saw Ji Changru again.
However, with the heavy burden of 100,000 taels weighing on her head, she dared not forget it for a moment.
"Master, there's a market outside, let's get off and take a walk."
It's a rare opportunity to visit Kezhou. Kezhou is wealthier than Yingzhou, so the people must be quite well-off. Why not take a look around and expand your business there in the future? It would be a wonderful thing to do.
After stopping the carriage, the group disembarked and walked.
Alisa kept a cold expression on her face and always had her guards closely following her.
The streets were crowded, and it was inevitable that people would jostle each other, but she was unwilling to have any physical contact with ordinary people and found it extremely distasteful.
"The princess doesn't seem to be feeling well."
Fu Yuchi rarely took the initiative to speak to Alisa, and Alisa immediately beamed with joy. Sun Miao'er, however, immediately understood her master's meaning.
Arisa's expression changed instantly, and she forced a smile, "Arisa is very happy to come out with the teacher."
"Why does the princess have such a stern face?"
When it comes to digging holes, the master is second to none.
Of course, Alisa couldn't tell the truth. She just glared at Sun Miao'er and said, "I want to be alone with the teacher, but I'm not happy that there are always people following me!"
Sun Miao'er's inner thoughts: Who exactly is it that's shamelessly trying to follow me? Please, can't you find out?
"It's okay, it's more lively with more people."
Sun Miao'er chimed in, but Fu Yu didn't respond. Alisa realized that her words were meaningless.
She had almost no presence, but she relentlessly tried to express herself.
For example, she might order her guards to clear a path for her, or occasionally reserve a stall for a fee.
The group strolled from one end of the street to the other, and as the sun was high in the sky, they passed a noodle shop.
"I've heard that Kezhou's noodles are very famous, why don't we go in and take a look?"
Sun Miao'er vaguely heard a drumming sound in her stomach and swallowed hard.
Arisa dismissively said, "Who wants to eat the food of the lowly!"
But before she could finish her outburst, the two men had already entered the store.
"Waiter, give me two bowls of braised noodles."
Sun Miao'er ordered noodles, and unsurprisingly, the entire shop was booked out by the generous Alisa.
The noodles hadn't arrived yet. Suddenly, a loud commotion came from outside.
Arissa looked displeased and complained, "It's so noisy!"
She already felt a throbbing pain in her temples from the noise on the street that morning, yet she still insisted on eating at a place like this. Now, the commotion outside is undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire.
"What happened, shopkeeper?" Sun Miao'er asked.
The shopkeeper came up with a smile, "Gentlemen, I'm sorry, but the situation is unusual lately. Soldiers from the city come to the shop every day for routine inspections. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for a while."
Arisa slammed her chopsticks on the table. "Tell them Princess Arisa is inside. Tell them to get out!"
"Even if the King of Wei were here today, we must handle this matter officially!"
The man outside spoke loudly and strode confidently into the store with his entourage.
Sun Miao'er looked in the direction of the voice, but the man's face made her pause in surprise.
This face looks almost exactly like the father, Sun Yuanyong, in the original owner's memories.
The only difference was that the man had a one-inch-long scar on his forehead.
Sun Yuanyong is clearly no longer alive, so how could this be?
Moreover, the man's gaze did not linger when he saw Sun Miao'er. If it really was Sun Yuanyong, would he be unmoved upon seeing his own daughter?
Alisa stood up and angrily said, "How dare an unknown nobody talk back to this princess!"
"His Highness has shown great courtesy to the Western Regions; you mustn't be ungrateful!"
The man clasped his hands and said, "Princess, we are acting under orders. We apologize for any offense!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man led his team upstairs to the second floor, making quite a commotion.
Alisa was so angry that her face turned red, but she didn't want to lose her composure in front of Fu Yuchi, so she could only hold back.
Seeing that Sun Miao'er was lost in thought, Fu Yuchi asked, "Miao'er, what's wrong?"
Sun Miao'er shook her head, it probably wasn't Sun Yuanyong. "It's nothing, who was that person just now?"
