Chapter 25: Finding the Guard

"Exactly." Xiao Ji nodded and agreed with Bai Furong's statement.

Bai Furong was even more shocked, her eyes wandered over Cheng Shuiyao and Xiao Ji, and she pointed at Xiao Ji tremblingly for a long time and said, "You won't be the eldest prince Xiao." ”

"Hmm." Xiao Ji bowed his head and did not hide his identity.

After all, none of this matters to him now.

This news was obviously beyond Bai Furong's comprehension, and Bai Furong was stunned for a few seconds, and finally sighed leisurely.

The world is impermanent, who would have thought that the once illustrious Guogong Mansion would now fall into this fate?

"It's all over, and it's fine to be here now," Bai Hibiscus comforted the two of them, "at least it's much more stable." ”

"Hmm," Cheng Shuiyao sighed and looked down at the two children.

The two girls are very smart, Cheng Shuiyao can learn seven or eight percent of them once she teaches them, Cheng Shuiyao pointed out some of their problems, and what she learned today is almost the same.

On the way home, Cheng Shuiyao held Xiao Ji's arm, and her state was much better than this time yesterday.

"With yesterday's experience, it seems that today is a lot easier," Cheng Shuiyao said with a smile, "Then I think tomorrow should be more calm." ”

Xiao Ji didn't speak, and nodded lightly in reply.

As far as Cheng Shuiyao was talking, the two men passed by her, Cheng Shuiyao seemed to feel something, and glanced back.

The two men went straight into the most prosperous inn here, and looking at the outfits on their bodies, they should also be from the capital.

"Did it hit you?" Xiao Ji only said that the two of them bumped into Cheng Shuiyao by mistake, and raised his hand to rub her shoulder.

"It hurts a little." Cheng Shuiyao turned her head, her expression was still a little stunned.

Xiao Ji didn't think much about it, rubbed her shoulder again, and took her back to the inn quickly.

Entering the inn, I saw Xie Yin sitting in the hall embroidering, looking at the handkerchiefs she had accumulated in her hands, it looked like she should have been embroidering all day.

"Mother-in-law, what are you doing?" Cheng Shuiyao tilted her head and walked over slowly.

"Today I happened to see a job to help with embroidery, so I took it, and it just happened to be able to subsidize the family." Xie Yin looked up at the two of them while embroidering.

"Thanks to my good embroidery work, otherwise I wouldn't even be able to find this job now"

Cheng Shuiyao frowned, flipped through the embroidered handkerchiefs, and the more she looked at it, the more surprised she became, "Then how much does this have to be embroidered?" ”

"The shopkeeper said that the Li family in the city has recently had a happy event, and they have ordered a batch of large and small handkerchiefs, which are extremely large," Xie Yin raised his eyes, his face full of joy, "If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have been able to get this kind of work." ”

In this way, there can be no less.

Cheng Shuiyao was a little distressed, and hurriedly said, "Mother-in-law, you don't have to do it, just let Xianggong and I think about making money." ”

"What's that?" Xie Yin shook his head disapprovingly, "We can't eat white rice either." ”

"This ......" Cheng Shuiyao hesitated a little, and didn't know how to dissuade him for a while.

"It's okay, let my mother do it," Xiao Ji said slowly, "It's just that my mother is bored every day, so at least I can pass the time." ”

"Ji'er is right." Xie Yin nodded, and then lowered his head to embroider the handkerchief on his hand.

Cheng Shuiyao was helpless, so she could only nod silently and follow Xiao Ji back to the house.

"If only I could embroider, so that I could help my mother-in-law share her worries." Cheng Shuiyao was not in a high mood, and she looked a little self-blaming.

"It's okay, my mother is bored sitting in the inn every day," Xiao Ji rubbed Cheng Shuiyao's hair, "This is also so that she can find a sustenance, and she always feels that she is a burden." ”

Cheng Shuiyao tilted his head, and couldn't find anything to refute him, so he could only nod.

"I'll go out and ask you for a bun to eat." Xiao Ji didn't say anything and left the room directly.

Beckoning Xiao Er to boil the water, Cheng Shuiyao sat in the bathtub and looked down at his ankles.

There was no trace of injury on the white skin, and it looked like it hadn't happened before.

"What to do?" Cheng Shuiyao knocked on the wall of the barrel, always feeling that he had to find an opportunity to tell them that he was fine.

Thinking about it, two figures suddenly appeared in Cheng Shuiyao's mind.

According to the story of the original book, Xiao Ji met his two personal guards here after going through various tribulations.

This is also a turning point in Xiao Ji's fate.

"If those two people are his personal guards, should I find a way to get them to meet early?" Cheng Shuiyao muttered to herself and fell into her own contemplation.

When she came back to her senses, she was shocked to realize that the water in the bucket was already cold, and quickly got up.

"Shui Yao, are you okay?" Xiao Ji's voice came from outside the door, "Why haven't you come out for so long?" ”

"Ah, that's good!" Cheng Shuiyao agreed, hurriedly dressed and opened the door.

"Are you alright?" Xiao Jihu glanced at the room suspiciously, but didn't find anything wrong.

"It's okay," Cheng Shuiyao shook her head, but she couldn't find any reasonable explanation for a while, so she could only divert the topic, "You hurry up and wash it, I want to go shopping on the street later." ”

Although he felt that something was wrong, Xiao Ji didn't say anything, and directly did what Cheng Shuiyao said.

On the other side, in the Li Mansion, Miss Li Fangfei was sitting on the bed and weeping silently.

"Miss, don't cry," Mama said distressedly, "The master has bought you a good dowry to ensure that you can marry in style." ”

"What's the use of that?" Li Fangfei suddenly raised her voice, "That's also marrying a barbarian!" They are fierce and rude, and once they marry, my life will be over. ”

"This ......," Mama said dumbly, suddenly not knowing how to speak.

Li Shanhai, the lord of the Li Mansion, brought a batch of goods to the barbarians a few days ago to trade, but due to different customs, he got into some trouble, and finally had to choose to marry his daughter.

Li Fangfei fainted twice when she heard the news, and then washed her face with tears every day, and she lost a lot of weight.

The Li Mansion was distressed, but there was nothing to be done.

"Miss, I'll go to the kitchen and bring some of your favorite pastries." Mama sighed and turned to leave.

Outside, a sneaky woman had a smug smile on her face, and then quickly turned away.

If Cheng Shuiyao's family was here, they would be able to quickly recognize this person as the eldest lady who suddenly disappeared after entering the city.

On the day she entered the city, she met someone recruited by the Li Mansion to teach Li Fangfei to learn etiquette, and then she revealed her identity and successfully entered the Li family.

In the past few days, she has lived like a fish in water in the Li family, and although her life is not as good as the previous days in the capital, it is also extremely luxurious.

"Now I won't kill you!" The eldest lady thought angrily, and then pushed away the room of the master of the Li family.
