The girl took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and said slowly: "My name is Bai Ye Na, I am from the nearby Qiang tribe. My mother is sick, and her condition is very serious. She urgently needs a herbal medicine."
"I went out to look for him, but it was snowing so heavily that I lost my way and was separated from my brother. I got anxious, my feet slipped, and I fainted in the snow."
Zi conveyed Bai Ye Na's words to Fusu outside the tent.
Prince Fusu listened to Zi's report and remained calm on the surface, but in his heart he began to doubt Bai Ye Na's intentions.
A part of the Qiang tribe integrated into the common people on the border of the Qin Dynasty. Apart from the differences in their food, clothing, housing and transportation, they were also considered the subjects of the Qin Dynasty.
But in this desolate wilderness, in heavy snow, a young girl came out alone to look for medicine and was separated from her family.
There are problems no matter how you look at it.
Prince Fusu pondered for a moment and said to the general, "Liu Zhi, send someone to check nearby to see if they can find the clues she mentioned.
In addition, prepare some dry food and clothes for her, and send two soldiers to escort her to a safe place."
Liu Zhi took the order and left. Not long after, he came back to report: "General, no other abnormalities were found nearby."
...
...
Prince Fusu nodded slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Inside the tent, Bai Ye Na learned of Fu Su's arrangement, and a trace of uneasiness flashed in her eyes. She said, "Can you let me follow your team? I'm really scared to be alone."
Zi looked at Fusu in embarrassment. Fusu thought for a moment and said, "Of course, our Qin army will help the people of Qin. We can take you to the next city."
Bai Ye Na wanted to say something, but finally bit her lip and stopped talking.
After resting for a while, they were about to continue on their journey. Now was a good time to travel as it was not snowing.
Fusu looked at Bai Ye Na who was following the team, but his doubts were still there. He told the soldiers to be alert to prevent any fraud.
The team continued to move forward, leaving deep footprints and ruts in the snow.
At night, the army camped in a sheltered valley to rest. The heavy snow had stopped, and the soldiers cleared a clearing and sat around the stove, warming themselves and talking in low voices.
"Sir, do you think what that woman said is credible?" Liu Zhi couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
Fusu looked at the dancing flames with deep eyes and said, "It is difficult to judge at the moment, but we must not take it lightly."
After chatting for a few words, Fusu returned to the tent and took out a palm-sized mirror from his arms.
The original full-length mirror was considerately changed to the same size as Li Rongrong's when Fusu was preparing to set off so that it would be easy to carry.
He passed the note but got no response.
＊
The Li family in City A was brightly lit and filled with guests. Everyone was dressed in their best clothes, their faces filled with joy and anticipation, as if this night was their most successful.
In this lively atmosphere, Li Rongrong drove the red sports car directly to the door of the banquet hall and threw the car keys to the attendant.
"Miss!"
The attendant saluted respectfully and quickly parked her car in the backyard.
Li Rongrong nodded politely to the waiter at the door, lowered her head to adjust her clothes, and made sure there was no problem before she walked in wearing ten-centimeter high heels.
She was wearing a simple yet elegant dress, the hem of her skirt fluttering gently like a blooming flower.
The beauty is eye-catching, but what is more attractive is the twinkle in the eyes, which is a manifestation of confidence and determination.
As she walked into the banquet hall, people's eyes turned to her with amazement and admiration.
Training from a young age made her adept at dealing with guests. Her presence was like a breath of fresh air, bringing a touch of vitality to the whole scene. But it also attracted those aunts and uncles with bad intentions.
"Oh, isn't this Rongrong? I heard that she rejected the good marriage with the Si family and ran away from home. She is so willful!" The eldest aunt pouted and said sarcastically.
"That's right. The Si family is a famous big family in Beijing. Not everyone has the opportunity to marry into such a family." The second aunt echoed, her eyes full of disdain.
After saying that, the second aunt added: "The man's family is powerful and influential. If you marry him, you will enjoy endless wealth and glory."
These words were spoken in a loud voice and fell right into the ears of the person concerned.
Li Rongrong frowned slightly, with a hint of displeasure in her eyes.
It seems that I haven't been in charge of the family for too long, and these relatives have forgotten what a sense of propriety is.
She just held her wine glass and stood not far behind them, listening to their discussion. Perhaps they were so happy chatting together that they didn't notice her at all.
At this time, the third aunt on the side sneered and said sarcastically: "Humph, now young people always say that love is the most important thing. Those girls are too naive and don't know that the interests of the family are the most important."
These words seemed to touch the heart of the eldest aunt, and she quickly agreed, "That's right, the family raised her up and arranged such a good marriage for her, why didn't she appreciate it and even ran away from home, she is really ignorant!"
Hearing this, Li Rongrong took a deep breath. She was a little angry in her heart, but she still had a smile on her face that could not be wrong.
"Of course I understand the interests of the family. Moreover, after I turned 18, I led the Li family to generate 20% of the new revenue. This has brought a lot of benefits."
As she spoke, Li Rongrong glanced at them, "I remember that each of you received at least 10 million in dividends. Why don't you admit that you want to return the dividends?"
When it comes to paying back the money, the relatives who were originally so proud and confident lost most of their arrogance.
"Humph, without the protection of the family, how far do you think you can go?" Fourth Aunt, who didn't invest money because she looked down on her for leading the project, laughed at her, "As a girl, why bother with a career instead of getting married?"
There was a scornful smile on her lips, and her eyes revealed her disdain for Li Rongrong.
Li Rongrong didn't get angry after hearing this. Instead, she smiled and said to them, "Fourth Aunt, since you don't like girls pursuing careers, I remember that my cousin is a manager in the company. Let her not go to the company tomorrow."
Her voice was firm, revealing a sense of no doubt.
The slapped Fourth Aunt was speechless. Her daughter had used the manager's name to make money many times, so what should she do now?
No one doubted the truthfulness of Li Rongrong's words.
As the eldest daughter of the Li family who has the right of inheritance and has made contributions to the company, she does have this right.
Even if she is not in charge of the company now, you should know that Li Moyuan, the head of the Li family who is in charge of the company, is a complete sister-con.
Seeing that they were losing the upper hand, the eldest aunt suddenly smiled and acted like a good elder, and all she said was moral blackmail.
"Rongrong, how can you say that? How many people have begged for a marriage with the Si family? Are we all hoping that you will marry into their family and enjoy a happy life? And please help the family at the same time!"
