Chapter 100 Nature
Li Da hurriedly stood up and took it, then said, "Why are you worried about us, kid? Your brother and I are having a good time now. I often bring back some good leftovers from the kitchen. I see that your brother has grown a lot taller."
Then Li Da looked at Li Ruanruan, feeling a little embarrassed, but still distressed: "However, your child, you look a lot thinner. I heard in the kitchen that Madam punished you. I passed by the East Courtyard several times and wanted to go in to see you, but I was afraid that the prince would dislike you."
Li Da looked at Li's soft knees and said, "Well, come and see me. Tell someone to tell me and I'll go see you. I'll walk faster."
How fast can Lida walk with such a limp?
Li Runrun heard that her father went to see her, so she didn't dare go into the east courtyard, thinking that he must have been there many times.
She couldn't hold it back, her eyes hurt, and she tried hard to hold back the tears, fearing that her father would misunderstand and worry about her not having a good time in the East Courtyard.
He hurriedly said, "I'm all right now. The Marquis's punishment wasn't severe; it was just a formality. Later, the prince knew I was wronged and gave me a generous reward. That precious elixir is at my disposal. Dad, don't worry about me. I've recovered a long time ago."
It is true that he gave her the golden medicine, but he did not reward her with the gold ingots and beautiful jade she had received from the last time she met the prince. He was leaving as soon as he returned to the East Courtyard.
He just joked that she would become bad if she had money.
If you don’t want to give it to me, then don’t give it to me. Li Runrun has enough food and clothes anyway, and all the treasures in the East Courtyard are in her hands.
Even though she had no money, she still received a monthly stipend. Now she received ten taels of silver a month, which she secretly saved and put away.
Because he was afraid that if he saved too much, the prince would steal it.
If she doesn't even get any wages, that's too, too tragic...
Li Da looked at Li Ruanruan for a while.
Li Ruanruan hurriedly said, "The prince gave me the management of the East Courtyard. I've never managed servants before, so I thought I'd learn more. I accidentally worked myself to the point of losing weight. That's true. Dad, don't think too much. The prince treats me well."
Li Da was relieved when he heard this, but was shocked again: "The prince actually..."
Shocked beyond words, Li Runrun nodded and spoke to Li Da about promoting a few lower-ranking servants to work in the East Courtyard.
Li Dazhi nodded: "I knew you were as smart as your mother."
After chatting for a while, when they were about to leave, Li Da didn't let Li Ruanruan go to the stable. He was still worried about her injury and didn't want her to go too far. He said that he would heat up the soup for Li Mutou when he came back.
Li Runrun actually missed her brother a little, but seeing that her father insisted, she didn't continue to look for Li Mutou.
Li Runrun waved goodbye to her father and left.
But I still feel sad. The more I care about my family, the more afraid I become.
This is her weak spot.
There are so many things I want to do that I feel so insignificant and powerless.
Li Runrun was walking when she suddenly stopped, looked at the gloomy winter sky, and sighed.
Ye Qiaoqiao was walking happily, but when she saw her stop, she also stopped: "What's wrong, Ruanruan, is your leg hurting? Let me carry you, I'll carry you back."
Li Ruanruan grabbed Ye Qiaoqiao's hand and said, "Let's not go back. Let's go meet someone."
"Who are you meeting?"
"Chen Jiaojiao."
"Then we have to go to Mingyitang."
Ye Qiaoqiao helped Li Runruan onto the carriage. Li Runruan sat down and covered her knees with her hands.
Although the wound has scabbed over and is almost healed, it still hurts when I walk.
Ye Qiaoqiao lifted the curtain and looked at the bustling street market. Suddenly, as if remembering something, she said to Li Ruanruan, "I heard that the owner of that fake shop and his family were thrown in jail. I think it must have been Big Brother's doing. He looks so innocent and untainted by the world, but in reality, he's always been so ruthless and ruthless, and he's always trying to wipe out the root of the problem."
Ye Qiaoqiao made a knife gesture and cut her neck.
Li Ruanruan: “….”
In fact, Ye Qiaoqiao still got a glimpse of the prince's true nature.
But he wasn't as bad as she said.
Li Ruanruan whispered, "Su embroidery is ordered by wealthy families and officials. If someone offends the powerful, it's not surprising that they're thrown into prison. It's not necessarily the work of the prince."
Ye Qiaoqiao raised an eyebrow: "Ah? Is that so?"
Li Ruanruan nodded.
In fact, I know in my heart that this was most likely done by the prince.
In fact, it makes sense. The only way is to kill the other person first, and then when the other person is disheartened and regretful, he wants to have another chance to live.
The prince took action and made the other party sign a slave registration and accepted him as his own.
The other party would not harbor any resentment, but would instead regard Ye Yunchu as his savior and swear allegiance to him until death.
This is just the lowest level of political manipulation.
After all, minions can never get to know the truth.
And those in power are best at manipulating the chess game and controlling people's hearts.
The carriage was moving when it was stopped by someone. Li Bai couldn't speak. Cui'er lifted the carriage curtain and said, "Second Miss, someone stopped us and said they knew you."
Ye Qiaoqiao stuck her head out, then shrank back in fright.
Li Ruanruan was amused: "Who did you see that scared you so much? Could it be the prince? Or... Mr. Gu?"
If she had joked like this in the past, Ye Qiaoqiao would have blushed long ago.
At this time, his face was still pale.
It couldn’t be the prince. If it was the prince, he wouldn’t have scared Ye Qiaoqiao like this.
Li Runrun lifted the curtain, looked outside, and then saw the prince's secret guards.
Li Runrun just felt that something was not good.
The secret guard remained unmoved when Ye Qiaoqiao lifted the curtain, but walked towards her when Li Runrun lifted the curtain.
Standing by the car window, he said in a businesslike tone, "Our master invites the two ladies upstairs for tea."
Li Runrun subconsciously looked up, but saw no one. There was only a hand hanging down from the pavilion, with distinct joints and a valuable jade ring on the thumb, which showed the other person's nobility.
Li Runrun thought that if she were wearing such a precious jade ring, she would never let it hang down like this, for fear that it would fall and break.
But the other party obviously didn't care.
Li Runrun looked at the secret guard and was about to politely refuse.
With a crisp sound, the secret guard's jewel-inlaid sword was unsheathed. Li Runrun felt a chill on her neck and swallowed lightly.
The secret guard lowered his eyes and looked at Li Ruanruan.
Li Ruanruan became honest and said, "Yes."
She lowered the curtain.
Ye Qiaoqiao also heard the sound, and her face turned even paler with fright. She hugged Li Ruanruan's arms and said, "M-M-Mrs. Madam, why are you looking for us? What are you doing?"
Li Ruanruan made a shushing gesture: "The secret guards have very good hearing, so don't talk nonsense."
She put on the veil and helped Ye Qiaoqiao put it on as well. Fortunately, there was always this in the carriage.
Ye Qiaoqiao quickly covered her mouth, covering it tightly.
Following Li Ruanruan, he got off the carriage. When he saw the secret guards waiting for him, his legs went weak and he fell forward.
Fortunately, Li Runrun quickly supported her, preventing her from making a fool of herself in the street.
The secret guard looked back at them and signaled with his eyes that they should follow him.
