"Wuwuwu, Princess, I...wuwu..."
She cried as she spoke, and before she could finish a word, she was almost out of breath.
Xiao Li rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Cry first, and then we'll talk after you're done."
Don't choke yourself.
Wang Wanqing burst into tears, as if she wanted to cry out all the grievances she had suffered in the past few days.
She cried for half an hour before she calmed down. She sobbed slowly to calm herself down, and then she found herself sitting in Xiao Li's arms.
She forgot to cry all of a sudden, and her cheeks turned red.
"Princess...I didn't mean to do that. I..."
Wang Wanqing jumped up in fright, feeling embarrassed and anxious, and stuttered all over.
Xiao Li was very calm: "I carried you up here, don't be nervous."
Wang Wanqing cried and didn't care about anything anymore. She kept pulling her clothes down. Xiao Li pulled several times but couldn't pull them out. In order to prevent himself from being pulled off, he could only pick her up and hold her in his arms.
The thing she was holding didn't feel heavy, but she cried a lot, and her clothes were wet with tears.
"Are you done crying?"
Wang Wanqing nodded: "I'm done crying."
Xiao Li said calmly: "Go back after you finish crying. I want to take a shower."
She felt pretty good about Wang Wanqing. She was pretty, quiet, and had some abilities, so she was somewhat tolerant of her and could tolerate her crying in her arms.
But Xiao Li doesn't have that much compassion, nor can she be a close sister who can comfort others.
In Xiao Li's opinion, the little suffering Wang Wanqing endured was not worth mentioning.
Growing up in luxury, my biggest worry was that my parents didn't seem to love me as much as I imagined.
What you call suffering is nothing more than reaching a certain age and finally having to face the reality of this society.
People’s hearts are biased. The flesh on the back of the hand is not the same thickness as the palm. Even the best relationship will eventually become dull.
No matter what kind of relationship it is or how deep the feelings are, the reason why it can ultimately be maintained must be that the other party is useful to oneself. This is the essence of society.
She doesn't need best friends or little fangirls, she does whatever she wants based on her mood.
Although Wang Wanqing had gone through some hardships, she had not really been transformed to the point where she could walk with her.
For example, now, Wang Wanqing found it hard to understand why Xiao Liming was always so gentle to her, saving her, helping her, and willing to hug and coax her, but his attitude was always so cold, and he was even reluctant to give her a smile.
However, even if she couldn't understand, it wouldn't affect her determination for Xiao Li.
Because the princess has always been like this, and she doesn't need to show it deliberately. Anyone who pays attention will definitely know how good she is.
"I just came to thank the princess for saving my life."
She finally remembered her purpose and was about to kneel down. Xiao Li lifted his foot to support her knee and said, "I have received your thanks. There is no need to kneel down. Go back."
Being driven away again, Wang Wanqing felt a little aggrieved. She opened her mouth to say something, but the next moment she felt that she was being pretentious. The princess had been good enough to her.
She originally wanted to tell the princess about her grievances, but now she had cried out all her grievances, and she was being held so gently, so it seemed that there was nothing more to say.
Those are her family members, nothing she says will change anything.
The princess was the person she loved the most and was the most grateful to. She was so gentle in coaxing and tolerating her. How could she bother her with those trivial matters?
She couldn't sever her blood ties with her family, nor could she do anything to them, so it was pointless to tell the princess about it.
She was already very satisfied just to see her and cry in her arms.
As for that little grievance, she would definitely try her best to find a way to avoid being driven away by the princess next time.
"Then I will go back. Princess, take good care of yourself. I will come to see you again when I have time."
Xiao Li looked at the tears on her face and handed her a handkerchief. "If you want to cry, don't come. My patience is limited. I only allow you to cry this once."
Wang Wanqing took the handkerchief and nodded obediently: "Don't cry, I won't cry when I see the princess from now on."
Xiao Li thought she was quite cute like this: "Fight for your own future. The Queen has given you an opportunity, so cherish it."
Wang Wanqing's eyes sparkled as she nodded repeatedly, "Yeah!"
After nodding, he quickly covered his eyes and wiped away his tears, looking at her with watery eyes: "I'm not crying."
Xiao Li: “…” It’s over. This girl from the Wang family looked like her brain was damaged by crying.
Hongyue sent Wang Wanqing out, and Xiao Li turned around and went in to take a shower.
Not long after soaking in the tub, Hongyue came back with a box in her hand: "These were left by Miss Wang. She said she embroidered them for the princess herself."
She opened it and handed it to him. Xiao Li took a quick look. The knee pads, wrist guards, and insoles looked quite delicate, and the tight stitching was no less than that of a top-notch embroiderer.
This thing is not expensive, but the thought is priceless.
She is a little girl who knows how to be grateful.
"Put it up."
After a busy day, Xiao Li was tired. He took a shower and went to bed without eating.
I slept until dawn the next day and was leisurely having dinner when Yang Jun came to report: "Princess, the wife of the Marquis of Xuanping wants to see you."
Lady of the Marquis Xuanping?
Only then did Xiao Li remember that there was such a person.
"Marquis Xuanping...is he still imprisoned?"
Hearing this makes you forget about it completely.
Yang Jun: "Exactly."
Xiao Li wanted to say let them go, but then he thought of something and smiled. "Drag all of them to the gate of Prince Yanping's mansion. If Marquis Xuanping scolds Xiao Jingzhao, then he'll let one person go. If he doesn't scold him, then I'll pay 10,000 taels of silver to each person to redeem them."
Yang Jun's mouth twitched. She has to be a princess.
"As you command."
Xiao Li captured seventeen people from the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, so he got seventeen thousand taels of silver.
How could the Marquis of Xuanping be willing to spend so much money to redeem a slave? But scolding the King of Yanping would only incur hatred.
I can't scold him, and I can't give him money.
Just then, Xiao Jingzhao and Jia Ruo heard the news, and Xuanping Hou immediately called for help: "Your Majesty, please take care of Princess Xuanyang! She is bullying me."
"She wants 170,000 taels of silver from me to redeem me. Where can I get that much silver? Last time, she only asked me to give her 100,000 taels, and the remaining 30,000 taels were contributed by Lord Wang. Now she wants so much more! She's trying to kill me!"
Jia Ruo angrily scolded: "Isn't this robbery?"
The thought of Xiao Li saying last time flashed through Marquis Xuanping's mind: "Isn't this a robbery?"
No, he couldn't let her rob him again and he couldn't encourage her arrogance.
"Your Highness, the princess said that if I don't take the money, she will scold you before letting me go. How can I scold you, Your Highness? Please help me persuade the princess to let me go this time."
Xiao Jingzhao frowned: "What is she making a fuss about?"
Yang Jun took the initiative to help Marquis Xuanping explain: "Marquis Xuanping sent people to kidnap Doctor Cen..."
Before he could finish, Marquis Xuanping said anxiously, "I told you that Cen An knocked out a servant and ran away as soon as he arrived at my house. He is no longer in my hands."
Xiao Jingzhao's face changed slightly, and he immediately understood why Xuan Yang sent someone here.
