Marrying a rich man after rebirth: The daily life of a legitimate daughter

He Shulan, who had been in a coma, opened her eyes. The sky was like ink, with stars shining. She was surrounded by lush grass and the fragrance of soil. Her mind became much clearer. She squirmed her body and slowly stood up.

The fragments of the carriage were scattered everywhere, and the horse was nowhere to be seen. Seeing the prince lying in the grass, she stumbled over and nervously placed her fair and slender fingers under the prince's nose. Feeling his weak breathing, her heart settled down.

The two were lucky to have fallen into the bushes, otherwise they would not have survived and woken up the unconscious prince.

The prince propped himself up and sat up. His clothes were torn and his face and body were scratched to varying degrees. Seeing He Shulan's dusty face, he asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." He Shulan helped the prince stand up: "I don't know where this is, in the wilderness, let's find a safe place to rest for the night."

"Where's the driver?"

Only then did He Shulan remember that the coachman also fell down with them.

The grass was very thick and had to be turned over to see. The two men searched the surrounding grass separately for a long time and found the coachman lying in a pool of blood. The coachman was outside the carriage and had no protection when he fell. His head hit a stone and he was no longer breathing.

He Shulan couldn't bear to see the driver's body exposed in the wild, so she picked up some branches and started digging a hole. However, she didn't have any suitable tools, so she was digging very slowly.

The prince, who was not far away, couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he picked up a thick branch on the ground and helped He Shulan dig the hole. He was a man, and even though he was injured, he was still stronger than He Shulan.

The two men worked together and quickly dug the pit. They carried the driver's body and put it into the pit. After burying it, He Shulan picked up the carriage fragments on the ground and placed them on the grave, so that they could send someone to look for it after they returned.

This will give an explanation to the driver's family.

He Shulan stood there and looked over. What he saw was wild grassland and dense woods. He asked the prince, "Which direction should we go?"

In this desolate countryside, the prince didn't know where to go. After thinking for a long time, he replied: "The capital is in the south, let's go south."

He Shulan stepped forward to support the prince.

The prince stopped him: "I am not so weak that I need someone to help me walk. Save your strength. We don't know how long it will take us to get out of this grassland."

He Shulan picked up two thick branches and handed one to the prince.

The two men struggled forward in the dense grass.

.......

Seeing that it was so late and the prince and princess had not returned yet, the old lady began to get restless and asked the nanny, "Why haven't they come back yet?"

The nanny consoled them, "Maybe something delayed them. The prince and princess may be resting in the countryside."

"Impossible." The old lady knew the prince very well. He was not very familiar with the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple. Their relationship was limited to the court. Therefore, it was impossible for the prince to take the princess to rest in the countryside. The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. She always felt that something had happened to the princess and the prince: "Hurry up and send someone to the countryside to ask."

The nanny immediately arranged for the servants to go there.

At midnight, the servant returned to the Prince's Mansion and reported to the old lady: "The banquet is over, and the Prince and Princess have left."

The old lady's face suddenly darkened: "At this time, he hasn't returned home yet, something must have happened." She stood up tremblingly: "Hurry up and find the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, and ask him to take people to find the prince and the princess."

The anxious nanny still maintained a trace of calmness: "At this time, we should go to the government to report the case, why do we have to go to the Dali Temple Shaoqing."

"To report a case to the government, you need to file a record. After filing the record, you have to wait until dawn, when the bailiffs come to the government office, before you can go find someone. The Shaoqing of the Dali Temple can lead the bailiffs immediately."

The nanny understood what she had heard and did not hesitate. As soon as she reached the door, she was stopped by the old lady and said, "Take the soldiers and servants from the Prince's Mansion and go look for him together."

After the nanny left, the old lady sat alone in the empty hall, praying silently in her heart, praying that nothing would happen to the prince and princess.

When the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple learned that something had happened to the prince, he did not hesitate at all and led the yamen runners, holding torches, to search along the way.

.......

The prince and princess walked in the wild for a long time but still couldn't find a place to spend the night.

He Shulan couldn't hold on any longer: "Let's spend the night in the wild."

"Okay." The prince was also exhausted. He looked around and pulled He Shulan to a big tree near the river, intending to rest there for a night. In the woods, the faint light caught his eye: "Is there anyone living there?"

He Shulan looked in the direction the prince pointed and saw the lights hidden in the woods. She was excited and said, "Let's go and take a look."

The two quickened their pace and followed the light to the woods, where they saw a thatched house surrounded by a fence. A dim light slanted out from the window.

He Shulan patted the wooden door and asked loudly, "Is anyone home?"

After a while, a white-haired old lady came out holding an oil lamp. She couldn't see the figure in the darkness, so she didn't dare to go forward: "Who is it?"

He Shulan quickly replied: "We are passers-by and would like to stay here for one night."

Hearing the woman's voice, the old lady was relieved and walked to the door with the oil lamp. She saw the embarrassed He Shulan and the prince. They were dressed in rich clothes. Although her face could not be seen clearly, her temperament was very good. She knew that they were rich people and asked nervously, "Did you encounter bandits?"

He Shulan was surprised: "How did you know?"

"There are often bandits coming down the mountain to rob people. They only want money and won't hurt people's lives. You can just give the money you have to the bandits. Why are you in such a mess?"

The Prince and He Shulan didn't know where the bandits who robbed them came from. If they were the bandits from Qiuyun Mountain, they would be in trouble: "On the way to escape, the carriage accidentally fell off the cliff, so we ended up in such a mess."

The old lady did not ask any more questions. She opened the courtyard door, let He Shulan and the prince in, and led them to the side room of the main house: "This is my granddaughter's room. She is already married. Sometimes, she will come back to visit us two old people, so this room has been reserved for her. You will rest in this room tonight."

The prince didn't want to sleep in the same room with He Shulan: "Are there any extra rooms?"

"Aren't you husband and wife?" the old lady asked in surprise.

The prince didn't know how to answer this question. After thinking it over, he still didn't deny that he and He Shulan would get married: "We are husband and wife."

"Since we are husband and wife, there is nothing to be shy about. Besides, I don't have any extra rooms here."
