"Girl in front, please help me stop that thief!"
As the shadow flashed by, a beautiful woman with extraordinary temperament appeared, bending over, gasping for breath.
Li Xia saw the woman looking at her, she turned around and ordered a servant behind her, "Go, catch the thief."
In order to ensure her safety when she left the house, Li Fugui and his wife hired several martial artists to serve as Li Xia's servants at a large expense.
They are all agile and have strong martial arts skills.
Ordinary petty thieves are no match for them at all.
"Yes, ma'am."
The servant clasped his hands together and ran towards the black shadow quickly.
Half a quarter of an hour later.
"Miss, the thief was very cunning. I was not competent enough to catch him. I only got back the purse he stole."
The servant lowered his head and presented a crescent-shaped purse with an elegant orchid embroidered on it with both hands.
Li Xia waved her hand and said, "It's okay. As long as the lady's things are found, it's good." She took the purse from the servant and said to him, "Let's go and return the purse to the lady."
The servant retreated behind Li Xia.
"Madam, can you please take a look at this and see if it's the thing you lost?" Li Xia handed the crescent-shaped purse in her hand to the woman.
The woman's eyes lit up with kindness, and she nodded repeatedly, "Yes, this is my purse, thank you, young lady."
She held Li Xia's hand in a familiar manner and expressed her gratitude.
My son has good vision.
This girl has delicate facial features, skin whiter than snow, a graceful and slender figure, peach blossom eyes like autumn water, charming but not coquettish, a high nose bone, and red lips without any lipstick. She is pure and charming, without any vulgarity, and can be called a stunning beauty.
She knew her son well and knew he was definitely not a superficial man who only cared about appearance.
Besides her beauty, this girl must have other qualities to make that brat fall head over heels in love with her.
And after her previous test, she also knew that this girl was kind-hearted, helpful and would not easily put herself in danger.
When she helped her, she knew to leave enough servants to ensure her own safety.
This is quite valuable.
The Queen was very satisfied with her first impression of Li Xia.
A pair of phoenix eyes stared at her, and the more they looked, the more they liked her.
She had seen too many women in the palace who only cared about their own interests and took advantage of others.
It's rare to see Li Xia so pure.
"Husband... Madam, you run so fast. Dongxue is old and weak. She can't catch up with you."
Dongxue followed the Queen's instructions and waited in the dark for a while before running towards the location they had agreed on.
"Eh? Who is this lady?"
Li Xia was about to pull his hand out of the woman's when a middle-aged woman dressed as a nanny ran over from behind.
As soon as she reached the woman's side, her lips did not close.
As she was talking, the nanny seemed to notice Li Xia belatedly.
"It was this girl who helped me get my purse back and saved me from losses." The woman explained to the nanny, then raised her eyes to look at Li Xia and asked, "May I ask your name? Where do you live? I'll prepare some small gifts and come to thank you in a few days."
Li Xia waved her hand and said, "Madam, you don't have to be polite. It's just a small favor. Don't thank me."
"Girl, my wife is not a bad person, you don't have to be afraid."
Dongxue said from the side.
"No, I don't think Madam is a bad person." Li Xia pursed her red lips.
"Meeting each other is fate. Why don't you leave your name? It will be easier to address you when we meet in the future."
"My last name is Li, and my given name is Xia."
Li Xia never knew how to refuse other people's enthusiasm.
She had no choice but to tell the two of them her name. As for where she lived, that involved privacy, so Li Xia did not answer.
The woman and the nanny didn't look like bad people.
But there is a saying that goes “You can know a person’s face but not his heart.”
They had only met once, so it was always better to be prepared.
"Lixia...is a good name." The woman moved her lips.
"Miss Li, my husband's surname is Qi."
"Qi?" Li Xia's pupils flickered when he heard that.
Qi is the national surname.
Could it be that this lady is a royal relative?
"Miss Li, my husband's surname is Qi, Qi Tian's Qi."
The woman saw Li Xia’s look and immediately explained.
"Mrs. Qi." Li Xia nodded when she heard that.
"No need to be so polite. I like Miss Li very much. How about I call you A-Xia and you call me Aunt Qi?" The woman enthusiastically took Li Xia's slender hand, her eyes curved, and a few fine lines appeared at the corners of her eyes, but it did not affect her luxurious temperament at all.
Li Xia blinked her eyes, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Could it be that she encountered a human trafficker from this world?
Otherwise, it was really suspicious that this lady was so enthusiastic towards me after only meeting me once.
Li Xia secretly glanced at the woman out of the corner of her eye.
Although her dress was simple, the material of her clothes was not something that ordinary families could afford.
There is also an aura about her that cannot be ignored.
Doesn't look like a human trafficker.
The woman chuckled: "Axia, are you suspecting that I am trying to abduct your human trafficker?"
Reading people's expressions is the entry-level course for being a queen.
What's more, she has been in that position for twenty years.
When Li Xia saw that the woman saw through her thoughts with just one look, her face suddenly turned embarrassed and she avoided her gaze in embarrassment.
"Mrs. Qi..."
"Um?"
The woman raised her eyebrows slightly, and Li Xia felt an indescribable sense of oppression coming towards her.
