The Princess's Deadly Daily Life
Chapter 19 Sister, please forgive me
"What's there to bury? Wouldn't it be easier to wrap her up in a mat and throw her on the mountain?" The man in Hu clothing grabbed the woman's arm again and said to the man, "I want this person. Don't fight with me."
He looked at the two people in front of him arguing with each other, gave a wink to the servant beside him, and walked away.
The servant understood what his master meant, and after rummaging in his sleeves for a long time, he finally took out a few copper coins, and reluctantly gave them to the woman in white, saying, "I don't have much money with me. Take this and hire a few people to find a good place to bury your grandfather."
The woman in white was stunned for a long time, and then nodded: "Okay, after I bury my master, I will come to your house to serve your master."
The servant thought for a while and shook his head: "We have enough staff in our mansion and do not need any more people. You should go home." As he said this, the servant wanted to catch up with the young master, but in the blink of an eye he disappeared and he could not follow his whereabouts.
The woman in white sat down on the ground in despair: "But my parents are gone. If you don't take me in... I will be homeless."
Seeing her pitiful appearance, the servant sighed and said, "Well, let me tell you the truth, my lady. Your chosen husband is the nephew of our mistress, the prime minister's wife. He is already living under someone else's roof, so how can he take in a girl for nothing? You should look for another family to marry him." After saying this, the servant went back home in disappointment.
The woman in white watched the servant enter the mansion, stroked her cheek, her eyes flickering.
The sun was so warm that my jaw was already slightly chapped from the dryness and heat.
She was stunned, it turned out that he was just relying on others.
When Li Xixiao saw someone opening her purse, he relaxed his brows, thinking that the lady had met a good person.
What is shocking is that the man in Hu clothing was tactful enough to leave quickly, waking up the corpse lying on the straw mat and leaving with him.
It turned out to be a scam!
The woman in white secretly pinched the corner of her clothes, slowly stood up, and looked at the big words "Prime Minister's Mansion" for a long time without leaving.
The sunlight shone through the window onto Li Xi's cheeks, making them slightly red. She immediately felt bored, closed the window and went to check out.
I was speechless when I saw this terrible thing so early in the morning.
After leaving the room and paying the bill, I asked the shopkeeper if there was any place in Chang'an where it was difficult to find someone.
The shopkeeper was confused. "Where is it not easy to find someone? Madam, you are joking. It depends on who is looking for the person. If someone is powerful and can look for the person in a high-profile manner, then it is easy to find the person anywhere. If someone is powerless and cannot look for the person in a high-profile manner, then it will be difficult."
My fourth uncle belongs to the second type, but he has the manpower assigned by my grandfather, and it is carried out in secret, so it is neither difficult nor not difficult.
She had to change her clothes and then find a place to stay. She would think about the rest later. Li Xiying thanked her and left. She couldn't stay in this guesthouse for long.
On the way, she bought a black veil hat that could cover half of her body. There was no need to change her white clothes, which were ordinary and inconspicuous.
It was pleasant to walk and stop for half an hour. From time to time, I could see new things. Although there were a few dilapidated streets left over from the war, after passing them, there were scattered small stalls and vendors selling rouge, powder, pearls, hairpins, and jade in every neighborhood. On some roads, I could also see various pastry and noodle shops...
I am very grateful to the painter. This money can buy a lot of things, and if I spend it carefully and only on food, accommodation and transportation, it can last for several months.
When I was walking so much that my waist and legs were sore and I wanted to find a teahouse to rest, I suddenly heard a gust of wind, accompanied by a numb feeling in my arms. I was so angry that I saw a half-grown child running barefoot. His clothes were tattered and his hair was disheveled... It was exactly the little pickpocket who stole the woman's money yesterday!
Just when I was about to catch him and ask him why he stole someone's purse yesterday, I saw him sneakily stopping beside a carriage, looking nervous and cautious.
While the owner is away, maybe he was going to pickpocket something again? Who would have thought that he turned out to be a habitual criminal?
He took out a pack of paper from his arms, held up his sleeve which was so dirty that his original color could not be seen, and wiped the sweat off his head. He swallowed, opened the paper tremblingly and put it next to the horse's mouth, raised his head and said something to it. The horse kept snorting and seemed to be uncooperative.
People passing by on the roadside were busy with their own things and didn't pay attention to what a dirty little beggar was doing.
Seeing that the horse was not cooperating, he got anxious and put the powder in the horse's mouth and nose.
Li Xi pursed his lips and frowned, thinking of teaching this ignorant boy a lesson; then he bent down, picked up a stone, flicked it with his fingertips, and hit the little beggar's finger accurately, and the medicine paper fell to the ground.
His fingers were twitching in pain and he looked around anxiously, fearing that his master had returned. Instead, he saw a sister looking at him. The little beggar felt guilty and dared not stay for long, so he ran away.
Fortunately, most of the powder in the paper had already poured into the horse's nose and between its teeth, and only a little bit fell on the ground.
She immediately grabbed his collar, and the rough and sticky touch of the fabric did not make her let go: "Boy, you ran away after I pickpocketed you yesterday. I thought you were forced to do so by life, but who would have thought that you would poison someone else's horse today? I didn't expect you to be such a vicious little bad guy. Who taught you to do that?"
"Sister, please forgive me. I'm not a bad person. Someone gave me a lot of money to order me to do this. Please don't take my money. I won't dare to do it next time..." The boy grabbed Li Xiying's wrist and tried to break free.
"Then who told you to do this?" They actually paid money to hire a killer, not a professional, but a half-grown kid!
This little beggar has a pair of big eyes, a small nose pointing upwards, and a small red mouth. If he were not a beggar, he would be a cute little boy.
He suddenly pointed in the direction of the carriage with his eyes wide open, and exclaimed: "Sister, look, those people are getting on the carriage."
Li Xixiao turned her head and saw the horse snorting and clunking its front feet. The middle-aged man in the purple official uniform stepped on a low stool and got into the carriage. Behind him, a man in his twenties got into the carriage.
The coachman, who had just left because he had to go to the bathroom, returned to the carriage, pulling the reins and driving slowly.
"Don't go!" Li Xiying tried to call out to the coachman, but he seemed not to hear her.
Seeing this, the little beggar took the opportunity to break free, tightly guarding the money hidden in his chest, and slipped away like a loach.
She didn't chase the dirty little ball, thinking that if the horse was poisoned, everyone in the carriage would be in danger.
Her skirt fluttered in the wind, and she quickly climbed onto the carriage using the force of the carriage wall. After taking a few gulps of the wind and recovering, she said to the coachman, "Stop quickly! The horses have been drugged. It's dangerous!"
