Li Wanrong didn't want the old lady to find her, so she took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and covered her face with it, then walked with Xing'er on the busy street.

Xing Er followed Li Wanrong, walking aimlessly on the street, back and forth for a long time: "Miss, have you decided where we are going?"

"I don't know either." Li Wanrong was not very familiar with the capital. If she returned to her original home, she would definitely be found by the old lady. After thinking about it, she could only find a strange place to hide and wait for the storm to pass before living a stable life: "Find a remote place to rent a yard and settle down first."

"This is the only way now." Xing'er didn't know what to do and could only follow Li Wanrong.

The master and servant wandered around the capital for a long time and set their eyes on a small courtyard house near the city wall. Although it was not very luxurious, it was very clean and the location was relatively remote so it would not attract other people's attention.

Xing'er found the landlord, negotiated a price, and rented the small courtyard. She didn't need to clean the courtyard and could move in directly.

Li Wanrong threw her luggage to Xing'er and sat on a lounge chair in the yard, basking in the sun leisurely.

At this time, there was a knock on the door. Li Wanrong stood up, walked over and opened the door.

The landlord didn't know Li Wanrong, so he smiled and asked, "I'm the landlord of this small courtyard house. Who are you to Xing'er?"

In order to avoid attracting attention, Li Wanrong concealed her master-servant relationship with Xing'er: "I am her sister."

The landlord smiled and handed the contract to Li Wanrong: "Take a look at the terms of the rental. If you are not satisfied with or feel that there is something unreasonable, you can tell me." Thinking of the two women living alone, he reminded them: "Although this is the capital, there are soldiers patrolling every night, but there are still some lawless people. At night, you must close the doors and windows tightly, and don't open the door if you hear knocking in the middle of the night."

Li Wanrong smiled and said thank you, watched the landlord leave, turned back to the yard, lay on the recliner, looked at the lush trees, and fell into deep thought.

In the Prince's Mansion, she was occupied by the old lady and could not move around freely. She ran out of the Prince's Mansion, but in order not to be caught by the old lady, she still could not move around freely. She looked helpless. The life of women in ancient times was really too frustrating.

I lay there bored, not knowing how to spend the rest of the days.

……

When the old lady learned that Li Wanrong had run away from the mansion, she was so angry that she kept knocking on the cane in her hand: "This little bitch, she ran away when I wasn't paying attention."

He Shulan replied: "The prince has already gone to look for him, don't worry too much."

"Do you think I'm worried about Li Wanrong? I'm afraid that people in the capital will see you, Li Wanrong, with a big belly, which will cause rumors to spread and ruin the reputation of the Prince's Mansion." The old lady became more and more angry the more she thought about it.

He Shulan didn't know how to intervene in this matter. Li Wanrong sneaked out of the Prince's Mansion. In order not to be found by the old lady, she must have hidden her identity. Before the people in the capital discovered that Li Wanrong was pregnant, she should find Li Wanrong first: "Madam Li must have hidden herself. People in the capital should not know about her pregnancy in a short time."

"I hope the prince can find that evildoer as soon as possible."

The two stopped talking and sat in the hall quietly waiting for the prince to return.

The prince led his soldiers to search for Li Wanrong in the capital for a day and a night but failed to find her. He returned to the prince's mansion in dejected mood.

Seeing the old lady sitting in the hall and He Shulan: "What do you want to see me for?"

"Don't you know why we are looking for you? Have you found Li Wanrong?" the old lady asked unhappily.

"could not find it."

The old lady was so angry that her heart ached. "It's not a good idea to keep looking like this. Have your servants post missing person notices in various places in the capital. Anyone who can provide clues about Li Wanrong will be rewarded handsomely."

The prince hesitated. If the whole capital knew that Li Wanrong had escaped from the prince's mansion, she would not be able to see anyone even if she was found. "I'd better look for her in private. I'm afraid it will affect her reputation."

The old lady glared at the prince unhappily: "Does she still have a reputation?"

The prince did not respond. Li Wanrong's reputation was indeed not very good: "Forget about posting a missing person notice. Help Wanrong save some face."

He Shulan was afraid that the prince would quarrel with the old lady, so she said something nice in the middle: "Old lady, let's give the prince some more time. Maybe we can find Aunt Li without posting a missing person notice."

The prince did not expect He Shulan to speak up for Li Wanrong, and his heart was filled with gratitude.

With He Shulan's help, the old lady's attitude softened a little: "Her face is not as important as the face of the Prince's Mansion. I will give you another day. If you can't find Li Wanrong back tomorrow, I will immediately let the servants post missing person notices in every corner of the capital." After that, she no longer paid attention to the Prince, left the hall, walked to the corridor of the garden, and ordered the nanny to prepare a missing person notice.

He Shulan walked to the side of the prince and said, "Li Wanrong finally managed to escape from the prince's mansion under the old lady's surveillance. She will definitely find a remote place to live."

These words reminded the prince, who said thank you gratefully and left the prince's mansion.

Chun Xia, who was standing aside, frowned in dissatisfaction: "My Princess, are you stupid? At this time, you should try every possible means to get rid of Aunt Li."

He Shulan pointed her white finger at Chunxia's head and said, "We have to find her first before we can do whatever it takes to get rid of her."

"You finally figured it out." Chun Xia took He Shulan's joke seriously and said, "I will definitely help you get rid of Aunt Li, who is your biggest worry."

"That's enough." He Shulan stopped teasing Chun Xia: "I was just joking with you, but you took it seriously. Now not only can you not touch Li Wanrong, you have to do everything you can to get her back."

"Why?" Chun Xia couldn't understand when the Princess became such a saint.

"If something happens to Li Wanrong, everyone will suspect me. In order to stop the rumors and maintain the reputation of the Prince's Mansion, if I kill Li Wanrong, do you think the Prince will let me go? So, at this time, not only can I not kill Li Wanrong, but I must also do everything I can to protect her."

This reminded Chun Xia, and she patted her head in annoyance: "It was my fault for not considering it."

"Nothing, just keep an eye on it at all times. If you have any news, let me know immediately."

Chunxia nodded.

……

The prince led the soldiers and worked hard for a day and a night but still couldn't find her. He wondered if Li Wanrong had left the capital. Since he couldn't find her, he could only return to the prince's mansion.

The prince hadn't slept for two days and two nights. He couldn't bear it anymore and fell asleep on the bed.

When the old lady learned that the prince had not found Li Wanrong, she no longer hesitated and immediately asked the nanny to arrange for the servants in the mansion to post missing person notices in every corner of the capital.
