Wealth and glory seek stability

Lei Zi knocked on the door and delivered the gauze.

in the room.

"Your Highness, let me help you bandage it." Gao Yunhuai held gauze and scissors.

Xuanyuan Qiyuan unbuttoned the clothes on his left shoulder, revealing blood and flesh flying inside. A long knife wound ran from his shoulder to his chest, and blood was still oozing out of it.

Gao Yunhuai remained calm and said, "The wound is too deep. I can only give it a simple bandage. After the pursuers have finished searching, I will have to find a doctor to suture the wound." He kept bandaging his hands, obviously he did this often.

Xuanyuan Qiyuan's androgynous face was full of sarcasm, "Oh, they are really wicked. They can't get the favor of the emperor, so they take it out on me. Since they have done this, don't blame me for not thinking about our past brotherhood!"

"Your Highness, did you want to kill the two people outside just now?" Gao Yunhuai asked casually.

"Yes." Xuanyuan Qiyuan admitted generously, "Those two men have seen us. I have blood on my body. If I shout loudly and attract others, we will be in danger. We have to wipe out the roots if necessary." He still had not given up his intention to kill the two men.

Ever since Gao Yunhuai learned that Jian Xi was engaged to him, he didn't know how to face Jian Xi, but there was absolutely no reason for him to stand by and watch her die. "Those two are my friends. I can guarantee that they won't say a word. This is the residence of an official's wife. Although it's a minor official, it's also an important place in the capital. If someone dies, it will not end well."

"Since Shu Ping has spoken, I certainly won't kill them all. As long as they keep their mouths shut, I will pretend that I haven't seen them today." Xuanyuan Qiyuan is a cold-hearted person, but once he has promised something, he will never go back on his word.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

There were two time bombs in the house, and Jian Xi had no mood to talk to Lei Zi about opening a shop.

Lei Zi had nothing to do, so he helped Jian Xi clean the house.

Bang bang bang! There was a knock on the door.

"Is there anyone inside? Open the door!"

Jian Xi gave a wink, and Lei Zi walked forward and opened the door.

Two sturdy men were blocking the door. "Our young master is missing. I would like to ask if you have seen our young master, brother?" The men stared at Lei Zi, trying to see something from his face.

Lei Zi said calmly, "I didn't see anyone. My master went out on errands today, leaving only me and a little maid to clean the house." He then moved aside.

The big man looked inside and saw a little girl washing the table with a basin of water. The yard was very clean and tidy, and there was nothing suspicious. The two looked at each other, and the big man who spoke first clasped his fists and said, "Sorry for disturbing you. Goodbye."

Lei Zi grinned foolishly, "It's okay, we are neighbors, it's what we should do."

Seeing this, the big man believed Lei Zi's words even more.

Lei Zi closed the door and breathed a sigh of relief.

"call!"

"Brother Leizi, you are awesome."

"It seems that my experience in the shop is beneficial. My ability to say one thing to one person and another thing to another is getting stronger and stronger. Should we let those two people go? The people who were searching have already left."

Jian Xi remembered the two's ability to climb over the wall and felt that it was unnecessary. "Wait a little longer, they should be able to leave by themselves. Don't worry about it. If they want to leave, just climb over the wall."

Lei Zi thought about it and agreed.

Jian Xi didn't have time to waste with them. "Brother Lei Zi, this is what I told you. I can come out twice a month now. You can see if there is a shop you can take over. It doesn't have to be too big at the beginning."

Lei Zi nodded seriously, "Don't worry about leaving it to me." He clenched his hands tightly at his side, he would definitely not miss such an opportunity.

Jian Xi felt relieved, but her stomach started to rumble.

"Gulu!"

He slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, I haven't eaten yet! There's nothing to eat at home. Brother Leizi, wait for me. I'll go out and buy some."

Xuanyuan Qiyuan in the room had been paying attention to the movements outside. When he heard Jian Xi's words, he couldn't help himself.

Gao Yunhuai held him down and said, "Your Highness, what are you doing?"

Xuanyuan Qiyuan pulled the wound on his body and cried out in pain, "Hiss!" After a long pause, he said, "Didn't you see that girl go out? What if she informed the people outside?"

Gao Yunhuai affirmed: "She won't."

Xuanyuan Qiyuan snorted coldly, "Womanly kindness!"

There was a knock on the door, and Xuanyuan Qiyuan clenched the dagger in his hand.

Lei Zi opened the door, it was Jian Xi.

Jian Xi held several oil paper bags in her arms and gave Lei Zi a large portion, "Here, this is yours."

Jian Xi opened the oil paper package, picked up the bun and took a big bite, "Mm! It's delicious. I just went out and saw a peddler selling it not far from the entrance of the alley. It tastes pretty good. Eat it while it's hot."

Lei Zi didn't hesitate and started eating with great courtesy.

The two people in the yard were eating enthusiastically.

In the house——

Xuanyuan Qiyuan let go of the dagger and said sarcastically, "Humph, I thought she could accomplish anything, but she was sent away with a meal of buns."

My stomach growled and an atmosphere of awkwardness instantly filled the silent space.

Gao Yunhuai suppressed his smile and said, "Your Highness has not eaten since last night, so he must be hungry. I'll go ask that girl if she has bought some more."

Xuanyuan Qiyuan groped around his waist for a long time and found a gold ingot, which he slapped on the table. "Here, give this to her. This prince never takes advantage of others."

"it is good."

Gao Yunhuai was about to push the door open and almost bumped into Lei Zi who was about to knock on the door.

Lei Zi held the tray and said with a simple smile, "Sir, these are the buns and hot water my sister bought. She asked me to bring some in for you."

Gao Yunhuai took it, stuffed the gold ingot into Lei Zi's hand, and closed the door without waiting for him to refuse.

Lei Zi was confused, "What a weird guy."

I went to the yard to discuss with Jian Xi, "Sister, do you want to return this gold ingot?"

Jian Xi held the gold ingot and examined it carefully. She came up with an idea and threw it to Lei Zi, "No need to return it, Brother Lei Zi, this is for you!"

Lei Zi quickly took it, incredulous, "This... this is too expensive, I can't accept it, and this is the meal money that young master gave me."

Jian Xi said casually, "This gold ingot is of good quality. I'm just going to keep it, so you might as well sell it. Then your family can live in peace for a few months, and you'll have the energy to help me. Besides, you've put in a lot of effort to cover up the traces just now, so it's not a loss to take this."

Lei Zi tightly grasped the gold ingot. He didn't want it, but when he thought about the situation at home, he couldn't say no. "I'm grateful for your kindness. I will do my best. If you have any instructions in the future, I will go through fire and water to fulfill them!"

Jian Xi was very happy and patted Lei Zi on the back. She started to talk about how her former leader would encourage her and make big promises: "Well done! A real man has no shortage of gold! Now you are just like a latent dragon in the abyss. I believe that one day you will soar to the sky. I am optimistic about you."

Jian Xi didn't know how much shock her words had given Lei Zi.

A grown man never lacks money!

Soaring up to 90,000 miles!

Lei Zi had tears in his eyes. This was the first time someone was so sure of him and believed in him.

He swore that he must make something of himself so as to live up to Jian Xi's expectations of him.
