Chapter 1 For a Million Silver Taels!
This is the third day of my visit to the Prince's Mansion.
The crown prince was called to the palace by the queen again.
for he insisted on making me the crown princess.
My name is Chen Ejiao, I just turned seventeen, I have no father, no mother and no home, and now I am a mute.
Well? What do I mean now, you ask? Of course, because I used to be able to talk. Stupid.
The prince's name is Qi Ran, eight years older than me, a few days ago he was attacked and besieged by a group of people, although he resisted stubbornly, he finally lost consciousness and fell to the ground with serious injuries.
At that time, I was about to go to the field to dig herbs for money, and I was so frightened when I saw the corpses all over the place.
I glanced at it several times, and Qi Ran in the middle was still angry, so I tired myself of being affected, dragged him back to the hut where I lived, and used herbs to heal him.
He lay down for three days, and I cleaned his wounds, wiped his face and body, and applied medicine. I was shy at first, but I have a good heart, and I can save a life, which is also a blessing.
Well...... Occasionally, I will be a nymphomaniac at Qi Ran's good face and good figure, which is harmless.
On the fourth day, he woke up slowly, and when he saw me for the first time, he was so alert that he wanted to use his sword to reach my neck.
Hey, my temper, I pulled him back from the line of life and death, he doesn't know how to be grateful, how can he be so gracious and take revenge?
So I "swooped" and ...... Got on his knees.
Please, take your sword out of the way? I'm scared.
Fortunately, the misunderstanding was later resolved, Qi Ran saw a room full of herbs and gauze, his eyes began to ease, and he put away his sword and said, "You saved me?" โ
Yes Yes Yes ...... I nodded hurriedly, and at the same time glanced at the sword in his hand hatefullyโI thought I could exchange it for two dollars, and I knew that I wouldn't pick it up together.
He said, "My name is Qi Ran, what about you?" โ
I gave him a gesture, but I thought that he couldn't read it, so I found a piece of paper and wrote the words "Chen Ejiao" and handed it to him.
Qi Ran frowned, and then suddenly realized: "Miss Chen can't speak? โ
What do you mean by that...... It's rude.
But I couldn't refute it, and I was apprehensive about Qi Ran's sword, so I had to nod with a smiling face.
This is not called cowardice, this is called self-preservation.
Again, this is not called cowardice.
Qi Ran had an extra layer of sympathy in his eyes, looked around the room again, and asked me, "How many days have I slept?" โ
I compared a "three".
"Where have the girls slept these three days?"
Where can I sleep? The only bed is for you, so I'll have to make a bunk on the floor.
I pointed to a pile of straw in the corner of the wall and gestured, so the sympathy, guilt, and gratitude in Qi Ran's eyes gradually blended together, and finally mixed into emotions that I couldn't understand.
Later, I guessed that it was probably called because Xie Shengai.
Qi Ran was struggling to move, and I sympathized with him, so I asked him to continue to recuperate in my room. Later, when I wiped him, he would always say "thank you", and the guilt in his words could not be dissipated: "I'm sorry, Miss Chen, I will be responsible for you." โ
He probably thought I was the kind of woman who would die or live when she saw a man's body, and he wouldn't marry.
I just wanted to shake my head, but Qi Ran said, "I will marry you into the house with a dowry of one million silver taels." โ
I immediately straightened my head and smiled at him.
Just kidding, a million silver taels, no matter whether this person is true or not, there is always a shadow, isn't it? I've never seen so much money in my life.
It's okay to pay me for the medical bills that Qi Ran paid.
So I took care of him more diligently.
Qi Ran lay down for two more days, and then he could get out of bed and walk around outdoors by himself, so I took this opportunity to cook medicinal porridge for him, one to heal his injuries and the other to nourish his stomach; In my spare time, I would dig herbs for money, after all, now that I have an extra mouth to eat, life is more difficult than before.
For a million silver taels, I fought hard!
