Xiao Lili is very troubled lately. Although she has already been intimate with the prince, her status is far from worthy of him, and the old princess will definitely not agree to let her enter the family.
The prince didn't seem to have any intention of marrying her, and he avoided the topic whenever she asked.
The poetry gathering was also not going well. She could only remember these poems, and with each one she used, her repertoire was almost depleted.
This is really frustrating.

One evening, Xiao Li was resting when she received a signal from An Yi. Looking at Jiang Youxi's flushed face, Xiao Li knew what time it was.
In the story, Jiang Youxi is ambushed in a restaurant and poisoned with aphrodisiac. The Xiao family happens to be nearby, so An Yi signals to Xiao Li to help.
An Yi went to see a doctor, and the original owner took care of Jiang Youxi. That's how she ended up in bed with him. The female lead was furious when she found out, and Jiang Youxi killed the original owner in order to please her.
After her death, her wooden plaque fell into the hands of the female protagonist.
Xiao Li rolled her eyes. Shouldn't someone poisoned with the aphrodisiac be looking for Hua Niang? What's the use of looking for her?
After An Yi left, she looked at the man on the bed who was constantly tearing at his clothes.
"Xiao Qi, come here."
Jiang Youxi felt that An Qi was even more alluring than usual, and he just wanted to hold her in his arms and ravage her.
Xiao Li slowly walked over. She still recognized the person, so she shouldn't be out of her mind. In the end, she was still blinded by lust and fell for the original owner's beauty.
Xiao Li knocked the man unconscious with a karate chop, then grabbed his clothes, carried him out of the house, and quickly arrived at the lakeside where they had visited before.
It was the dead of night, and the lakeside was deserted. Xiao Li threw the person into the water with a thud.
Jiang Youxi woke up with a shiver. He struggled in the water until he was too weak to move, and then Xiaoli pulled him out of the water. The effects of the drug should have worn off by now, right?
They carried the man back to the inn, had the waiter change his clothes, and just then, An Yi brought the doctor back.
Seeing An Yi's puzzled look, Xiao Li explained, "I saw that Master was very hot, so I had him soak in cold water, and now he's not hot anymore."
It's not hot anymore, but it's shivering now.
An Yi stared at her speechlessly. Xiao Qi was too naive. Finding a woman was better than cold water.
Naive Xiaoli: An Yi is too naive; he believes everything I say.
"Your grandfather's love poison has been cured. He just has a slight cold. A dose of ginger soup to induce sweating will do the trick. He'll be fine."
The old doctor was pulled out of bed, not even properly dressed, and only felt less scared when he saw Xiaoli. This man had carried him across rooftops and walls, which was truly terrifying.
An Yi took out a silver ingot and gave it to the doctor.
"Please don't be offended, sir. I was just in a hurry. I'll take you back right away."
"No need, no need. I'll just get a room and get some sleep. I'll leave on my own tomorrow."
After saying that, he ran away quickly.
Xiao Li went to instruct the waiter to make ginger soup, and then returned to the Xiao residence.
When Jiang Youxi woke up, he saw An Yi guarding him and muttered to himself.
He thought An Qi had come too. He even dreamt that he fell into a lake, and the water was so cold that he shivered. As a result, his lust for An Qi also faded considerably.
When Xiao Lili learned that Jiang Youxi was sick, she went to visit him. The two were seen hugging and cuddling by the old princess.
The old princess is actually not old; she is only in her thirties this year. She considers herself the widow of a prince, so she maintains her status and never wears bright colors, dressing herself in a somber manner.
She only had one son, so she naturally valued him highly. She didn't even give him any servants in the house, only giving him her head maid when he came of age.
Her son was destined to marry a lady from a prominent family; how could she possibly agree to him marrying the daughter of a high-ranking official, especially one who was an adopted daughter?
"Show the guests out! Also, tell the gatekeeper not to let just any Tom, Dick, or Harry in. The Prince's mansion isn't a place anyone can just walk into."
"Yes, Madam."
After the old princess made a scene, she kicked Xiao Lili out of the mansion. No matter how thick-skinned Xiao Lili was, she was still just an eighteen-year-old girl. She hurriedly left, crying.
Xiao Li ate melon seeds and watched the show. It seemed that Xiao Lili had lost her original identity and could not even enter the gate of the Prince's mansion.
Xiao Lili was running wildly down the street when she bumped into a man and fell into his arms, immediately losing consciousness.
Xiao Li realized how small the world was when she saw the person in front of her. The man was none other than Ye Xiuyan, the original owner's adoptive father.
Ye Xiuyan came to the capital to investigate his daughter's whereabouts. He received a tip that there was a girl in the capital who looked very much like his wife, Ren Yingxin, so he came.
Looking at the girl in front of him, she was about the same age, but their faces didn't look quite alike. He had caught a glimpse of her earlier, and her eyes did resemble his. With anticipation, he led her to the inn.
Xiao Lili slowly woke up, and the first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was a handsome middle-aged man standing in front of her.
Although Ye Xiuyan is forty years old, he has made some progress in his internal strength, so his face is naturally more handsome. He has been practicing martial arts for many years, so his figure is more upright than that of ordinary people, and he looks like he is only in his twenties or early thirties.
Xiao Lili's eyes lit up. When she transmigrated, the "older man" type of boyfriend was all the rage online, and it made her feel so safe.
Seeing the girl's eyes light up, Ye Xiuyan assumed she was frightened, since it looked like someone was chasing her when he saw her.
"Don't be afraid, no one can bully you anymore."
Xiao Lili felt a pang of sadness when she recalled the old princess's disdainful gaze. Why did she look down on her? So what if she came from a good family? Who had an extra eye to look at?
Xiao Lili's eyes reddened, and she glanced shyly at the man.
"Thank you so much, sir, for saving my life. I have no way to repay you except..."
"You don't need to thank me, I didn't do anything."
Ye Xiuyan stared intently at the girl; all he wanted to know was where her wooden sign was.
"Young lady, do you have a small wooden plaque?"
Xiao Lili pouted. What an impolite man! She hadn't even finished speaking.
Xiao Lili didn't read the book carefully and didn't immediately remember that Xiao Qi had an identity plaque, but that didn't stop her from doing something naughty.
Wooden signs? She didn't have any, but she could make them up.
“I had a wooden sign when I was little, but unfortunately, it was stolen from me when I was sick,” Xiao Lili said sadly.
Ye Xiuyan frowned. Lost? Who would steal a useless wooden sign?
That's true, the wooden plaque is made of agarwood, so it's possible that someone who knows its value could recognize it.
"Can you describe what it's like?"
Xiao Lili's mind raced.
"It looks like it's... rectangular..."
"Yes, what else? What color is it? Are there any words on it?"
She remembered.
Anqi later reunited with her biological father, thanks to the wooden plaque she was wearing; she was determined to get her hands on it when she returned.
"It's black, and there's a seven on it."
Ye Xiuyan was so excited he couldn't speak. This really was his daughter! He had really found his daughter.
