She was too embarrassed to look up at the end, and after hurriedly finishing her sentence, she waited for the prince's instructions.
Li Xiaochen paused for a moment before speaking:
"Get up, and don't let this happen again!"
"yes!"
Lie Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief and stood up! He had escaped a disaster!
"You may leave!"
Li Xiaochen waved to Lie Yan, signaling her to leave.
"Your Highness! Aren't we going to protect the Princess?"
Seeing the prince's unhurried appearance, Lie Yan couldn't help but ask a question.
"The princess will naturally return once she has had her fill of fun!"
Li Xiaochen replied calmly, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it.
Although Lie Yan hadn't figured it out yet, he still retreated.
Upon seeing Wang Yu standing at the door, his indifferent eyes finally lit up, and he pulled Wang Yu towards the backyard.
"Wang Yu, tell me, what kind of person is our princess?"
Lie Yan released Wang Yu and asked.
Wang Yu looked at her and knew what she was thinking, so he directly reminded her:
"The princess is no ordinary woman; you'll naturally discover that once you've spent enough time by her side!"
"Tell me some things first, so I don't cross the princess's line one day!"
Lie Yan still didn't let Wang Yu off the hook.
Wang Yu thought it made sense, so he sat on the stone bench in the backyard and began to tell the story of the princess's glorious deeds.
By the time he finished speaking and his throat was dry, there wasn't a glass of water on the table, and his voice had become hoarse.
Wang Yu rolled his eyes. This brat, she didn't even bother to pour him a glass of water. So he stood up and said:
"I've said everything I needed to say. Remember, from now on, focus on serving the Princess. She deserves it!"
After Wang Yu finished speaking, he went to the kitchen to get some water!
Lie Yan was still sitting on the stone bench, processing the news she had heard. The princess had such extraordinary talent? She recalled the old lady rolling around on the ground earlier that day, and her lips twitched. Why did she find it hard to believe?
Well, let's just assume it's true! She'll believe it with her own eyes from now on, and she'll wait for the princess's surprise.
The conversation downstairs was over, but the two people upstairs, one big and one small, remained silent for a long time, as if the air had frozen, each sipping their tea.
Li Xiaochen looked at the young man, a smile flashing in his eyes. He was more composed than before. Not bad!
Are you hungry?
Li Xiaochen broke the silence first.
"I'm not hungry. When are you going to see your sister?"
Cheng Tinghao shook his head and looked at Li Xiaochen with a serious expression, asking him a question.
"What? Are you in a hurry now? I didn't see any sign of your anxiety when you came back!"
Li Xiaochen looked at the brat and said something jokingly.
"Do you think I'm like you? You didn't even chase after your own wife who ran away! When I grow up, I'll make sure my sister has seventeen or eighteen men caring for her and loving her!!"
Cheng Tinghao narrowed his eyes, looked coldly at Li Xiaochen, and sneered.
"Then I'll wait and see!!"
The smile in Li Xiaochen's eyes turned cold, and he said in a cold voice.
"snort!"
Cheng Tinghao snorted coldly, then turned his head away and refused to look at him again.
...
The city lord of Youlan City is named Fang Zhe. He has been in power for ten years but has achieved nothing. He only thinks about using his daughter to gain benefits.
Fang Zhe had a total of ten daughters and two sons. Six of his daughters had already married, mostly into high-ranking families, either as concubines in the homes of powerful officials or as wealthy wives in the homes of extremely rich merchants.
In any case, none of them married down, which shows that Fang Zhe's ambition is not small. However, despite investing so many daughters, he is still just the lord of a small border town, which shows that he is really incompetent.
Of the four daughters who are still unmarried, only Fang Fangfei is approaching marriageable age. Since Qi Jiguang is staying at the mansion this time, Fang Zhe has been eyeing her.
So he secretly told Madam Fang to tip Fang Fangfei off, suggesting she find a way to seduce Qi Jiguang. If she succeeded, their family would have connections in both civil and military affairs!
Madam Fang had also made two preparations: if Fang Fangfei failed, she would have Xiaoqiao drug her and send Fang Fangfei to Qi Jiguang's bed.
However, several days had passed, and Fang Fangfei had only met Qi Jiguang a few times before Xiao Qiao was summoned by the madam, who first gave her a warning and then promised her the status of the general's concubine.
That's why Xiaoqiao suggested that Fang Fangfei deliver food to Qi Jiguang, and then she would find a way to poison him.
Before I could even buy the groceries, I ran into this old hag and had to carry her back!
Lin Yuxin was carried shakily into the City Lord's Mansion by Xiao Qiao. As soon as they entered the mansion, Xiao Qiao wanted to throw the old woman on the ground.
Lin Yuxin wouldn't have it. They weren't even there yet! They wanted to throw her away? No way! So Lin Yuxin clung to Xiao Qiao's back, refusing to let go, muttering to herself:
"Little girl! You can't leave me behind! It's so close to the gate. If I fall and hurt myself, I'll just crawl to the gate and cry. I don't believe the city lord will just ignore it if he sees me like that!"
"And another thing! How can you be so heartless, young lady? This old woman is already like this, and you still want to abandon her? How can you be so cold-hearted? Oh! My little girl! I can't take it anymore, oh!!"
Lin Yuxin scolded him for a while, and then started wailing loudly.
The servants of the city lord's mansion all looked over when they heard the commotion. Xiaoqiao was so frightened that her face turned pale. She carried Lin Yuxin on her back and sprinted a hundred meters towards the most secluded woodshed in the backyard.
If they found out that she carried a shady character into the mansion, they would definitely complain to the steward, and she would certainly be punished.
