The woman that was spared by the male lead was Lin Qianzi. She was currently hiding from the pursuers. Obviously, she had already scouted the path out of Li Of Gojoseon's residence.
After leaving the waterway, she returned to the wooden house that she had prepared and changed her clothes before returning to her female appearance.
Once she returned to her female appearance, they lost their target.
Everything went smoothly, but she still felt gloomy in her heart.
That fiancé of hers was too ruthless. He actually beat a servant girl to death.
Although he looked like a dog, he was truly frightening.
Also, the woman that was talking to her should be his concubine. She never thought that she would be so beautiful.
With such a beautiful woman, would he still look at her after marriage?
Definitely not. She felt that way.
After changing into the servant clothes that she had prepared, she returned to her own home.
Just as she entered her courtyard, she saw a snow-white figure. She was startled and turned to leave.
That white figure said, "Cousin, are you still going to run?"
"Eh, cousin, how did you know it was me?" Lin Qianzi walked over with a mischievous smile.
"How could I have misjudged you?
I already said that Li Of Gojoseon is not to be trifled with, but you still went.
How is it, are you satisfied with your fiancé?
In terms of appearance, he is one of the best. "
Ji Zhangshu sneered. He had loved his cousin for many years, but he never thought that his aunt would marry her to that man who killed people like flies.
Lin Qianzi's face revealed a trace of sadness. She threw herself into her cousin's embrace and cried.
"Cousin, that man … is so scary. He kills people without batting an eyelid. He actually beat a servant girl to death.
Also, also … the woman in his backyard is beautiful and kind. He won't even look at me. What should I do, what should I do?
I don't want to marry him, I don't want to marry him. "
Ji Zhangshu's heart ached as he patted her head and said lovingly, "Cousin knows. Cousin will definitely help you."
"Cousin, help me escape the marriage. I want to go out and hide for a while. That way, I won't have to marry him."
She smeared her tears on her cousin Ji Zhangshu's clothes, causing his heart to ache even more. He said, "Alright, cousin will promise you anything."
Lin Qianzi nodded gratefully and continued to cry in Ji Zhangshu's arms. Whenever she thought of Li Of Gojoseon's sharp gaze, she felt uncomfortable all over.
At this moment, Bai Xiangxiu was tending to the flowers and plants outside the room. During this period of time, whenever she was free, she would plant some things in the small garden in the courtyard.
However, the weather was a little cold, and there weren't many plants for her to play with.
When he was tired of fiddling with it, he went back to talk to the cactus Xiao Huo. To his surprise, he found that there was a small sprout growing on Huo Er's body. Was it about to branch?
"Itchy, so itchy …" Huo Er was not used to the newly grown buds, so she kept complaining about the itch.
"Bear with it. When it grows up, you'll have more companions." Bai Xiangxiu felt that Huo Er's voice had matured a little, but it was still a child's voice.
"Bear with it, Huo Er, bear with it. Huo Er wants to feel the wind, wants the sun."
Huo 'er acted like a spoiled child in front of Bai Xiangxiu. She had no choice but to move Huo' er to the window and open it.
This way, it would be able to bask in the sun and feel the wind. However, the weather was cold, and as soon as she opened the window, she could feel the cold wind assaulting her.
Xiao Shi said, "Ah, Mistress Xiu, don't. Be careful not to catch a cold."
"Don't worry, leave the window open first. I'll close it later." After giving this order, she went to wash her hands.
She had been tired for the past few days and wanted to rest early, so she lay on the bed before the sky was completely dark.
She did not take off her clothes. As she rested, she thought about how the novel did not tell the female lead to secretly test Li Of Gojoseon and Long Heng. But if she left like this, would she start her plan to escape from the marriage?
She remembered that today was the day that the male lead and female lead's wedding would be set. It would be March next year!
May would be the date of her death. She had to leave before May.
As she thought about it, she felt a little tired. Until Li Of Gojoseon and Long Heng brought people over.
Today, when he heard this woman defend him, he felt a little happy. In addition, he was provoked by his fiancée, so he wanted to come over and sit with her.
Of course, it was not as simple as just sitting there. He had brought a gift. Not only did he want to sit, but he also wanted to sleep for a night before leaving.
The gift had been suggested by the servant beside him. Although he felt awkward, it was his first woman after all. It was only right for him to be a little more scheming.
Who knew that when he walked in casually, he would be stunned. Xiao Shi had fallen asleep on the table, while he was lying on the bed with his clothes on.
Although the floor was cleaned up, the window was open.
He could not help but frown. Although she was a concubine, she was still a master. She was too disrespectful.
Annoyed, he said, "Close the window."
The servant was outside and hurriedly went to close the window.
However, he did not expect that because he was too anxious, he could not avoid the attack of the Cactus Huo Er. His palm was pierced.
"Ouch …" The servant did not know that the thorns of this thing were so powerful. He actually cried out in shock and fear.
In addition, he casually waved his hand when he was stabbed. With a bang, the poor Huo Er fell to the ground. The flower pot shattered. It cried out in pain, "Master, save me …"
"What's wrong? What happened? Save what?" Bai Xiangxiu was so frightened that she hurriedly ran out. In the end, she saw that the Huo Er had been thrown to the ground.
Her heart ached. She suddenly ran over and reached out to grab it.
"You, stop. That thing has thorns."
Long Heng saw that she ran out barefooted and ran towards the strange plant without hesitation.
He did not care about his injury and wanted to grab it. He hurriedly called out to stop her. However, he saw that she was frozen in place. She slowly turned her head and looked at him in confusion. Then, she knelt down and said, "Greetings, Prince."
Why is the male lead here? Mr. Plotline, can you be any more off topic?
"Get up!"
Long Heng seemed to be a little speechless. However, when he saw that she did not get up and continued to lift the flower pot, he could not help but feel a little hurt. Was he not as important as a strange plant?
Thus, he said, "Why don't you throw away such a dangerous thing?"
"No, it's also a life. It can't be casually killed."
This time, Bai Xiangxiu was agitated. She almost protected the cactus in her arms. Moreover, she looked at him with caution like a hen protecting her chick.
Long Heng's originally special thoughts were all dispelled by her. He flung his sleeves and said, "Then you can guard it for the rest of your life!"
Didn't she just speak up for him? Now, she dared to look at him like this because of that plant. This woman was quite brave.
He left resentfully, leaving Bai Xiangxiu and Xiao Shi, who'd just been paired with him, completely confused.
Even after he had left for a long time, they still thought that they had not woken up from a dream.
"Mistress Xiu, did the Prince just come by? Did this servant see wrongly?"
"Probably not?" What was wrong with the male lead? Or did the novel not mention this?
Because Long Heng had come and left so suddenly, Bai Xiangxiu did not think of anything else. She thought that the male lead had come to look for trouble because he did not like her.
Long Heng felt gloomy. His fiancée had actually dared to sneak into the prince's estate to listen to the servants' nonsense. She had even dared to jump into the water in front of so many men. This greatly embarrassed him.
It was rare to hear a woman speak up for him, but it was obvious that he was not as important as the plant she was raising.
