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

Li Wanrong ran out of breath but still did not stop. She pointed her finger at the thief and kept threatening him: "Stop right there and give me back my purse."

The thief who had been chased for a whole street could hardly run any longer: "Have you ever seen a thief return the stolen money on his own initiative?"

"I don't care, you have to return my silver to me."

The thief finally managed to snatch the silver, so how could he give it back so easily? "Let's see if you have the ability to do it."

The two continued to chase each other, running back and forth on the street several times.

Huo Jian, who was having dinner with his friends in a restaurant, saw Li Wanrong chasing a thief. Thinking that something had happened to her, he ran downstairs with a serious expression.

He grabbed the breathless Li Wanrong and asked, "What happened?"

Seeing Huo Jian, Li Wanrong felt like she saw a savior and grabbed Huo Jian's arm: "The thief in front stole my purse."

The thief, who had been chased for several blocks, was already exhausted. Huo Jian grabbed him, snatched the purse from his hand, and stuffed it into Li Wanrong's arms: "Don't chase after a thief if your purse is stolen from you in the future. If you run into a vicious criminal, you might even lose your life if you chase him."

This reminded Li Wanrong that if it happened again, she would still choose to chase him, because she really didn't have much private money on her: "Thank you for helping me get my wallet back."

"You're welcome. Would you like to have lunch with me?"

Li Wanrong did not refuse.

At this time, Xing'er, who was following behind, ran over, her face pale as she ran: "Auntie, you ran too fast, did you get the purse back?"

Li Wanrong shook the purse in her hand: "Huo Jian helped me get it back."

Seeing Huo Jian standing not far away, Xing'er's face turned ugly. What she feared came true. It happened again and again. She suspected that all this was arranged by Huo Jian.

In front of his master, he couldn't say any words of doubt and could only follow the two people silently.

When the people at the dinner table saw Huo Jian bringing a girl, they were all curious: "Who is this?"

"Her name is Li Wanrong." Huo Jian only said the name and did not mention anything else.

Instead of asking further questions, everyone greeted Li Wanrong warmly.

Li Wanrong sat down confidently.

Seeing Xing'er standing aside in a well-behaved manner, Huo Jian reached out and pulled Xing'er to sit down on the seat next to him: "This is outside, not in the mansion, and in front of us, there are not so many rules, you should sit with us and eat!"

Xing'er looked at Li Wanrong uncomfortably.

Li Wanrong did not object. In her eyes, there was no distinction between superiors and inferiors. However, there were some things in this world that could not be changed, so she could only go with the flow.

Xing'er served her every day, and she had a different feeling for Xing'er. She smiled and said, "Just sit down and eat with us. Don't reject Huo Jian's kindness."

After hearing this, Xing'er felt a little calmer. She nervously picked up her chopsticks and started eating with everyone.

Huo Jian poured a glass of wine for Li Wanrong: "This is the strong liquor I brought back from outside the Great Wall. Try it."

Li Wanrong picked up the wine glass and took a sip. The wine was fragrant and strong, very pungent. She had to say that it was a good wine. "This wine has been stored for a long time, so it must be expensive!"

Huo Jian and the people at the table laughed out loud, and their liking for Li Wanrong grew stronger and stronger. Women from the capital, who lived in Houyuan all year round, could make them blush just by saying a few words, not to mention drinking: "I didn't expect that you could drink such a strong liquor."

In the 21st century, Li Wanrong often went to bars and had long since trained her drinking capacity. In front of the prince, she did not reveal it: "This little bit of alcohol is nothing at all?"

Huo Jian poured more wine for Li Wanrong: "Since you're ready to drink, drink to your heart's content."

"Okay." Li Wanrong didn't hesitate. She picked up the wine glass and clinked glasses with everyone. She drank one glass after another, and her face turned red.

Xing'er was worried that Li Wanrong would get drunk, so she watched her carefully from the side and often advised Li Wanrong to drink less.

Everyone had things to do in the afternoon, so they dispersed after drinking.

Li Wanrong's face was red from drinking and she was drunk. Huo Jian was worried: "Where do you live? I'll take you home?"

"I live in the Prince's Mansion." Li Wanrong stumbled to her feet from her seat.

Huo Jian was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses. He didn't expect that Li Wanrong was the prince's concubine. The prince's doting on his concubine was known to everyone in the capital. He had also heard about it: "You came out to drink, aren't you afraid that the prince will blame you?"

"She's not thinking about me right now, and it's none of his business if I go out to drink."

Huo Jian almost laughed out loud. He finally understood why the prince doted on Li Wanrong so much. Her free and easy character and unruly rebelliousness were like a wild horse, which aroused the man's desire to conquer her. "It's getting late. I'll take you home first."

Xing Er was afraid that the prince and the old lady would see her and misunderstand her, so she went forward and hugged the drunk Li Wanrong: "Master Huo, you don't have to take the trouble to send Aunt back."

Huo Jian knew what Xing Er was worried about: "I'll take you to the corner, and you can get off the car and go back to the Prince's Mansion by yourselves, so that no one will see you."

These words made Xing'er feel relieved, and she helped Li Wanrong walk into the carriage.

In order to avoid suspicion, Huo Jian did not take the carriage. Instead, he took the whip from the coachman and drove the carriage himself to send Li Wanrong back to the Prince's Mansion.

He did not park the carriage directly in front of the Prince's Mansion, but in the alley.

Xing'er helped Li Wanrong get off the carriage, said thank you to Huo Jian, and walked towards the Prince's Mansion.

Li Wanrong, who was drunk, leaned on Xing'er's shoulder and said loudly to Huo Jian: "Come on, let's continue drinking."

Huo Jian was so confused that he hid in the corner. He only drove away in his carriage after seeing Li Wanrong and Xing'er walk into the Prince's Mansion.

Xing'er helped Li Wanrong walk into the yard, where they met the Prince and his wife.

The prince smelled the alcohol on Li Wanrong and frowned: "Why did you drink so much in broad daylight?"

Taking this opportunity, Xing Er began to seek sympathy for her aunt: "The prince has been ignoring her recently. She was in a bad mood, so she went out to drink."

The originally furious prince calmed down. He had indeed neglected Li Wanrong too much recently, but this was also her own fault: "Hurry up and help Aunt Li back to the yard."

Seeing that the prince did not blame her, Xing'er quickened her pace, supported Aunt Li, and left the garden.

The prince was afraid that the old lady would know that Li Wanrong had gone out to drink, so he specifically told the servants in the garden: "I don't want the old lady to hear that Aunt Li was drunk. You know what to do."

The servants knelt on the ground and said that they would pretend they knew nothing.

The prince nodded with satisfaction.
