After all, if she wanted to buy that kind of good stuff, she would have to spend a lot of money. She was not short of money now, but more money is always better!
Especially in ancient times, women were not allowed to show their faces in public easily, otherwise they would be criticized.
It is much harder for women to earn some money than for men.
Although she and Liu Zhiyi didn't care about their reputation, in some places the people were tough and women with bad reputations would be thrown into a pig cage.
For the sake of their lives, the two of them have to keep a low profile.
This is also the reason why Liu Zhiyi bought Chen Aniu and kept him by his side.
Moreover, money makes the world go round. This is an eternal truth in any time and space.
Having more money on hand can save your life at a critical moment!
So even if you have money, you have to spend it frugally!
Liu Zhiyi held his forehead helplessly.
"Zhuzhu, please be careful. These are things that are visible. If you take them away, won't they be discovered soon?"
By then, it would be strange if they could escape.
Chen Ningzhu, however, was confident and said that there was no problem.
The dog man is a dog, but he is a good prince who works hard and loves the people. During the day, he basically stays in the study and does not return to the bedroom until late at night.
Either he handles official business, or he reads various rare books.
Normally, no one is allowed to enter or leave his dormitory.
So by the time he discovered that something was missing, it was already late at night, and by then they had already run away.
Sure enough, until dark, when the moon was above the willows, no one noticed anything unusual. At this time, Song Hanchuan and his personal guard Qingyun arrived as promised.
"Are you ready?"
"Well, let's go immediately."
Song Hanchuan hugged Liu Zhiyi's waist tightly and took her over one high wall after another. Qingyun followed closely with Chen Ningzhu.
Two dark shadows appeared like ghosts and quickly landed in a small alley outside the Prince's Mansion.
There was a carriage there that had been prepared long ago.
The three of them quickly got on the carriage, Qingyun untied the reins and started driving.
"Leaving the city now?"
This was what they had agreed upon at the beginning.
Liu Zhiyi smiled at him and nodded. The carriage had no problems and soon arrived at the city gate.
I don’t know what Qingyun showed the other party, but in any case, the city gate opened very quickly.
The carriage left the city smoothly and headed onto the official road. After nearly half an hour, Song Hanchuan said:
"We're still some distance from the next town. If you're tired, you can take a rest first."
Liu Zhiyi smiled and shook her head. Suddenly, Song Hanchuan felt a flash before his eyes and his body became soft and weak.
Immediately afterwards, a "thump" sound was heard from the shaft of the carriage. It turned out that Qingyun had fallen to the side and was unconscious.
Song Hanchuan's eyes were a little hurt.
"Why?"
He didn't ask what Liu Zhiyi had done to him, but why. He probably knew they had no ill intentions and just wanted to get rid of him.
Liu Zhiyi didn't answer him.
Seeing him close his eyes unwillingly, he sighed, pulled Shen Ningzhu out of the carriage, and ran towards the path not far away.
When he ran a hundred meters away, the carriage driven by Chen Aniu had been waiting for a long time.
The group first went to an inconspicuous farm owned by Liu Zhiyi.
I plan to return to my small courtyard in the capital after the storm has passed. As the saying goes, the darkest place is under the lamp. The most dangerous place may be the safest place.
Beijing, Zuixianlou
In a luxurious box on the third floor, Jiang Xuanyan was drinking glass after glass of wine.
Pei Yunchu next to him also followed suit.
The prince of Yan, Jiang Bei, looked at this and that with a sullen face, and said unhappily,
"I'm saying, are you two okay? It's already three in the morning, and you still haven't gone home to sleep. Not only are you getting drunk here for no reason, but you even dragged me along. Hey, I'm telling you, don't I owe you this?"
Jiang Xuanyan didn't look up.
Pei Yunchu said sullenly, "If you weren't here, who would take care of us if we got drunk?"
If you are unlucky enough to run into an enemy, you might even be killed on the spot. But you have to have someone to protect you, right?
"Wouldn't you stop drinking if you knew no one was watching?"
"Let's talk about you two. One is a young general, the other is the crown prince. You have no home to return to, but go out to get drunk in the middle of the night. If this gets out, won't people laugh at you?"
"You have nothing to worry about, I still have a beautiful wife.
If I don't go home, my wife won't agree. If she gets angry with me later, I'll be in big trouble, right? "
Pei Yunchu said sourly,
"What's so good about a beautiful wife? Look at Ayan's good Prince's Mansion. Now it's been messed up by that woman. If you ask me, it's more comfortable to be alone."
Jiang Xuanyan sneered,
"If you can't have the grapes, you'll say they're sour. As far as I know, you expressed your feelings to the girl today, but you were rejected again."
Jiang Bei's eyes lit up, and he said with a look of astonishment,
"There's something so interesting going on. Tell me which girl it is so I can have some fun."
Pei Yunchu: ...
A bunch of bad friends who only know how to expose other people's scars and gloat over their misfortunes.
"Oh my, our dashing and suave General Pei would actually be rejected?
If I remember correctly, you were always the one who rejected people, and you always complained that the ladies from noble families were too ugly. You made many noble ladies cry over the years."
Don’t you want to be rejected by the girl today?
No, he had to find a place to laugh secretly for a while.
Pei Yunchu looked at Jiang Bei and glared at him angrily.
"Laugh if you want to. You are just a servant girl. If you don't appreciate my kindness, then I don't want you anymore."
"Even if she regrets asking me for help in the future, I won't want her anymore, hum——"
Jiangbei: ...
Interesting. I suddenly want to see what kind of maid is so courageous.
The entire engagement process went smoothly, and the Prime Minister didn't make things too difficult. This should have been a good thing, but...
For some reason, Jiang Xuanyan felt inexplicably irritable today, and there was always a sense of unease in his heart.
When he thought about Chen Ningzhu still blocking the main courtyard door and making a fuss, he didn't want to go back to the Prince's Mansion.
But hiding like this is not a solution after all.
Counting the days, the two have been together for a month or two. If nothing unexpected happens, she should be pregnant by then.
How about going back and promising her that if she gets pregnant, she'll be promoted to a noble concubine? That way, she'll finally stop, right?
Jiang Xuanyan frowned tightly, thinking about the possibility of this matter.
"It's getting late. I'm going back home. You can do whatever you want."
Jiang Xuanyan stood up and left.
Jiang Bei, as if granted amnesty, immediately perked up and prepared to follow. Only Pei Yunchu remained there, sullen and still drinking.
Halfway to Jiangbei.
…
The first thing Jiang Xuanyan did upon returning to the Prince's Mansion was to ask if Shen Ningzhu was still in the main courtyard.
Hearing that she had returned to the abandoned courtyard when it was almost dark, Jiang Xuanyan breathed a sigh of relief.
He strode back to the dormitory.
As soon as I entered the room, I realized that something seemed wrong in the house. To be more precise, a lot of things were missing from the house. It looked gray and empty.
When I thought about it carefully, I realized that many valuable things in the house were gone.
