C152 Sun Sran

When Qi He and the others returned to the inn, they didn't even have time to eat before they started discussing amongst themselves in the room.

"Princess, please don't be impulsive. Who is he? He is trying to provoke you." Shen Yu thought that she had cut through everything, Chen Lin was definitely a hypocrite, it seemed that he had coveted his princess' beauty for a long time.

"I'm not stupid, how would I listen to him?"

Shen Yu then heaved a sigh of relief.

However, Shen Bao once again asked, "Princess, since the method to recruit them has failed, what should we do next?"

Qi He's eyes dimmed. "Not yet."

This was especially true for Chen Lin. He was a stubborn old man who could not be convinced even after using all sorts of methods. Thus, he had no choice but to resort to this method in order to recruit people for the marriage.

Was this fate? As other people thought, he was born to be a troublemaker and could not do the right thing.

"Right, how much silver do we have left?" In total, it was only a hundred silver taels. The three of them could be considered to be living frugally. It was not known how much money they had left.

"Reporting to the princess, I only have ten taels left." Shen Yu felt helpless.

"Ten taels …" Qi He sighed. "Ten taels of silver is definitely not enough. You guys wait here while I sneak back to the mansion to get some private money."

Actually, with her identity, she could have gotten the local officials to help, but her father was too ruthless and gave her a warning early on.

So poor Vi He had to live by tightening his belt.

It was said that the imperial princess had eaten her fill of spicy food. Now, it could be said that she had experienced a tough time.

"If so, if Prince finds out, I'm afraid …" Shen Bao was a little hesitant.

Qi He obviously wouldn't listen to his next words of advice, "Aren't you stupid? Wouldn't it be fine if he didn't discover you?"

However, to steal money after returning home, this princess' actions were truly laughable.

Indeed, Qi and the horse returned to the imperial capital without stopping.

When he returned home, he naturally could not walk through the main entrance, nor could he alert his father.

Thus, she covered her face and sneaked in through the back door.

With her familiarity with the terrain, she quickly approached her room.

However, he had been careless and had been discovered by a sharp-eyed young eunuch.

"Who is it? "Who's there?"

Wei He could only turn around and pull down the towel.

The other party cried out in alarm, "Princess?"

Shouldn't the princess be in the silt? Why did she appear here?

Qi He hurriedly gestured for him to whisper, "Shh, can we be quiet?"

This caused the little mistress to return home, as if she was a thief who was trying to steal from a dog.

Of course, this was also the innocence of Wei He.

However, it was different from Chen Xiao's innocence. That brat, Chen Xiao, always made people feel helpless.

The two of them came to a secluded place. Wei He still had some conscience and asked, "How is father?"

"Mmm mmm mmm, the prince is very good." The young eunuch nodded and replied sincerely.

Actually, everyone in the palace knew that Qi He had gone to the Scarlet Land, but they didn't know that the king had only given her 100 taels of silver to live on.

It wasn't that Qi He couldn't live a miserable life, but that he had to make a huge sacrifice if he wanted to take care of Chen Lin.

"Then where is royal father now?" This was an extremely crucial question. If her father was in the palace right now, then her movements would definitely be extremely inconvenient.

The eunuch lowered his voice. "His Highness left this morning. I think he entered the palace. After all, he's currently at war and is busy with many things. So His Highness is also very busy."

On the other hand, the emperor and empress had come from who knows where, and the current court and the battlefield were all sustained by the princes and the prime minister.

"Mm, that's good." Wei He sized up the small body of the eunuch and made up his mind.

"How about we change clothes?"

"Huh?"

Alright, he actually didn't have the power to refuse.

Since the prince wasn't around, the princess was still the boss. Although the princess didn't have a good reputation outside, she treated the servants of the mansion well. They still rather liked her.

As for the matter of the princess' lifetime, the servants had all speculated about it. The princess had been yearning for the dust that had settled in her heart. Now that she had left the palace, the young prince was unable to catch up.

Qi He was dressed as a eunuch, and he did look like a delicate and pretty young man. He had the same gentle and weak temperament as a eunuch.

After successfully entering the room, she swiftly took out her secret stash of money and took away 10,000 taels.

Just as he put the banknotes away, a strange male voice sounded from behind him. "Little eunuch, you are quite bold."

Qi He was stunned for a moment as he thought about his pitiful, tragic scene.

His father would definitely reprimand her and he would be completely disappointed in her.

She turned around mechanically, and the person in front of her was dressed in black. One could tell with a glance that he was not dressed properly, so he was probably not someone from the Prince's Mansion.

"I'm brave, but yours is not." It was not convenient to reveal his identity as a princess, so he had to admit that he was a thief.

"Since we're in the same industry, how about this, how about fifty percent?" The man smiled slyly.

Wei He nodded. "Mhm."

To her, who could not afford to spend all her money, it was the best way to get rid of all her troubles.

The man in black kept his word, took the banknotes and left.

Only now did Qi He heave a sigh of relief. Luckily, as long as his father didn't find out, it would be fine.

She then slipped out the back door with the help of the little eunuch. She also instructed him not to divulge what had happened today, and even gave him some benefits.

She knew how to repay those who had "shown kindness" to her.

Unexpectedly, after leaving the manor, she had only taken a few steps when a sword was placed around her neck.

"Spare my life." Qi He straightened his body and slightly glanced backwards, but he couldn't see who the person was.

"I'm not a good man." This voice sounded a little familiar. Oh, it was that person from before.

What? He regretted wanting to take all of this for himself? Men have a big appetite.

Alas, she was unlucky.

Unexpectedly, that sword had been taken away, and the black-clothed man had also come up to her from behind, laughing. "So this young eunuch was actually a girl."

"So what if I am? Why do you care so much about me? Do you like me? " Logically speaking, he should have left the manor and gone far away. Now that he appeared here, it was obvious that he was waiting for someone.

And this rabbit was her.

The man laughed loudly, "I don't like you, but when I first saw you, I felt that you were a little strange. In order to confirm my guess, I waited for you to come out, but I didn't expect you to really be a woman."

"Humph, curiosity will kill the cat." Wei He curled his lips.

The man didn't mind. "My name is Sun Sran." After saying that, he even took her hand and wrote two words on her palm.

Qi He quickly retracted his hand, "Men and women shouldn't be so intimate with each other, right? And I'm not interested in your name. "

This person was not normal at all. It was just their first meeting, but he had already told her his name and even made a move on her.

"We can be considered to have some fate between us. If you have any good 'business' in the future, remember to come to Cui Yu and Tingxue to find me." After saying that, he walked away, his back looking a little unrestrained.
