Splendid Phoenix Journey: The Arrogant Princess

Chapter 257
Xiaolizi stared at the handsome man with a baby face in front of her with wide eyes, those clear eyes didn't look like she was joking with herself.She frowned slightly and raised her chin.

"Why should I go with you?"

Nan Jing's words blurted out, and he was taken aback after he finished speaking.He seldom extended a helping hand to strangers, but today he didn't know what medicine he took wrongly, and he would help this female thief who stole his purse.But his words have already been spoken, so naturally they cannot be taken back.

"Do you want these children and Grandma Gu in the house to know you?"

Nan Jing raised one eyebrow, and looked at Xiao Lizi with a half-smile.Sure enough, as he expected, these children and the old man had no idea that she was using the stolen money to buy food for them.

"To shut up!"

Xiaolizi spoke angrily, and strode towards Nanjing.Grabbing his arm, he pulled him out of the small yard.

The two came to a relatively remote corner, and Xiao Lizi threw Nan Jing away.Glaring at him angrily, he snorted coldly.

"I said what exactly do you want, I stole the money from you. But the money was used by the children, and you don't need this little money from your gorgeous clothes. You should do good deeds and accumulate virtue for yourself, can't you? "

Looking at her angry little face, Nan Jing raised the corners of her mouth slightly.His clear eyes flickered, and he said unhurriedly.

"I'm not short of the money, I just want to provide you with a job. So that you don't need to steal anymore, and you can support these children."

When Xiao Lizi heard his words, she narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at him.She seemed to be estimating the credibility of his words, and she didn't speak until she came over for a while.

"what chance?"

No one is willing to be a thief that everyone despises, if it is not forced by life.What's more, the ones she stole were all rich sons and gentlemen, and they were not bad at all.

"I just moved to this capital, and the house is in need of a housekeeper. If you are qualified, then come to be my housekeeper. The monthly fee is 50 taels of silver, and you can rest for three days, what do you think?"

The corner of Nan Jing's mouth curled into a smile, his cute baby face made him look very harmless.

50 taels of silver?Xiaolizi's eyes widened, and she looked at Nanjing in front of her in disbelief.That's nearly half a year's living expenses for an ordinary family. This person is really rich.

"But I don't know how to housekeeper, and I don't understand anything."

Xiaolizi is very self-aware, and she has never done anything serious for so many years.housekeeper?just forget it.If she was asked to take care of the house, it might not be what the house would look like.

"It's okay, you can't learn it. Don't you have confidence in yourself?"

Nan Jing raised her eyebrows slightly, and glanced at Xiao Lizi lightly.The ability to steal things is quite good, and the housekeeper is not bad at all.Besides, there is no one in his Proton Mansion.

"Okay, I promise you. But you can't dislike me for being stupid."

Ugly words should be said first, in case she makes his house a mess.If he fined her again, she would lose more than she gained.

How could Xiaolizi's thoughts escape Nan Jing's eyes, he rolled his eyes helplessly.I finally showed my kindness, and I was suspected of being a good person once.

"Of course I won't dislike you for being stupid, as long as you don't tear down my mansion."

After speaking, Nan Jing turned around and left. After walking a few steps, Xiao Lizi was still standing there.He lowered his head, not knowing what to think.

"Hey, hurry up and follow."

Xiao Lizi raised her head when she heard the words, thought for a while and finally raised her feet and followed.

Nanjing and Xiaolizi left this dilapidated place and looked at the unfamiliar house.Nanjing's eyes were full of confusion, he followed Xiaolizi when he came.Only now did he realize that he seemed lost.

Xiaolizi followed behind him, and the person in front suddenly stopped.She didn't miss a moment and hit him directly on the back.She raised her head, rubbed her nose and looked at the person in front of her.

"Why did you stop all of a sudden?"

Nan Jing's face turned red slightly, he was a little embarrassed to admit that he was lost.He coughed lightly, trying to hide his embarrassment.

"That. I'm not very familiar with it because I just arrived here. Do you know how to go in the direction of King Han's Mansion?"

Xiaolizi looked at the slightly flushed man, and the corner of her mouth twitched.It turned out that he was lost, she held back the smile in her heart.

"I know, you follow me."

Nan Jing turned her head to the side, not looking at Xiao Lizi's suppressed smile.He lowered his head as if what he said just now was not his own, and silently followed behind her.

The two walked for almost half an hour before arriving at the gate of King Han's Mansion.Xiaolizi pointed to the majestic gate and said in surprise.

"You live here?"

Nan Jing glanced at Prince Han's Mansion, then shook her head and was interrupted by a surprised voice behind her just as she was about to speak.

"Master, you're back? I'm going to find you with Su Heng."

A young man in a brown robe walked over with a gentle smile on his face.

"This is my new butler, you ask Ah Heng to take her with you."

Nan Jing turned around and looked at the person who came, a cute smile appeared on the delicate baby's face.

Su Li's gaze fell on Xiao Lizi who was beside Nan Jing, and nodded slightly.A light flashed in his deep eyes, and he spoke gently.

"Hello, my name is Su Li. You can ask me if you don't understand anything."

Xiaolizi nodded, and twitched the corners of her mouth: "You can call me Xiaolizi, I don't understand anything. I hope I can teach you more in the future."

Su Li nodded, then looked at Nan Jing and smiled slightly: "Master, there is a message from the palace today. It seems that there is a dinner party and you are invited to the palace."

Nan Jing is not interested in this kind of dinner, but he knows that he is in Dakun now.You can't be willful and reckless like in Nanli.

"Well, I see. Let's go back and prepare for me to take a shower and change clothes."

Xiao Lizi looked at the two people walking in front of her, feeling a little dizzy in her mind.She really didn't expect that the person she stole would be the proton of Dakun sent by Nanli Country, no wonder he was so rich.

In the elegantly furnished study room, Chu Mohan looked down at the book in his hand.His slender fingers rubbed against the pages of the book, and there was a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Master, Prince Nanjing has already returned to the Proton Mansion. When he came back, there was an extra woman by his side."

The hands rubbing the pages of the book paused slightly, but Chu Mohan didn't even lift his eyelids.The voice is clear and shallow, without any emotion.

"Well, I see. Go and prepare things for the dinner in the palace at night, and I have to take a shower and change clothes."

"Yes, master."

After the man left, he put the book in his hand on the table.Standing up and pushing open the study window, with a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, he stared at the lush trees outside the window.

You can see her in the evening, and this is the first time he officially met after returning from the border.It's really uncomfortable to bear the thought of not seeing her.I wonder what that girl is doing now?
Shen Wanyu, who was missed by him, had just been pulled up from the bed by Qiu Zhu and the others, her eyes were full of carelessness.She frowned slightly, and looked at Qiuzhu unhappy.

"Qiuzhu, what are you doing?"

Qiu Zhu picked out a new set of skirts from the cabinet, and looked at his young lady with a smile.

"Miss, there was a message from the palace just now. It is said that the emperor is going to hold a banquet tonight and let everyone from the Hou's mansion enter the palace. So just now the old lady sent someone over to let us wake you up."

Shen Wanyu became energetic immediately, and all the drowsiness disappeared.She rolled her eyes slightly, and pretended to be casual.

"Are people from Prince Han's Mansion going too?"

Qiuzhu pursed her lips slightly, she knew that her young lady really wanted to ask if Prince Chu was going too.It's just that she knows that she can't expose Miss.Otherwise, if Miss misses her, her life will be difficult.

"Well, it seems that all the ministers will go this time. And they will bring their family members with them, so the madam and the old madam will enter the palace."

Shen Wanyu narrowed her eyes slightly when she heard the words.It's good to see that evildoer this time, and see how she deals with him.She was made to wait for so many days, but no one saw her in the end.But when the emperor bestowed the marriage, it was simply a matter of beheading and playing later without discussing it with her.

"Qiu Zhu, go prepare something for bathing."

Qiuzhu put the skirt in his hand aside, nodded cheerfully: "Yes, Miss."

Seeing the cheerful Qiu Zhu run out, Shen Wanyu frowned slightly.Why does she feel that Qiuzhu seems to be very happy today? Could it be that something happened during her sleep that made her happy?

Shen Wanyu rubbed her head, not intending to continue thinking about this question.Qiuzhu came back soon, followed by two servants who brought the bathtub in.With such a quick work efficiency, she couldn't help but wonder if she had already prepared for it.

After getting everyone down, Shen Wanyu took off her clothes and stepped into the bathtub.The warm water attached to her body, and all her tiredness faded away.Steaming heat filled the air, and the ink-like black hair floated on the water.Like gorgeous seaweed, it is very charming.

After searching twice, a silver cold light flashed across her eyes.With a ding, one flew to the pillar and nailed it.There was a piece of paper between the sharp blade of the throwing knife and the post.

Shen Wanyu's brows were condensed, and her eyes were sharply swept towards the pillar.She stood up quickly, picked up the moon-white tunic at the side, covered her body, and flew out of the bathtub.

Walking quickly to the pillar, the slender and fair hand pulled the flying knife from the pillar.Taking the note down, he lowered his head and opened it to take a look.

When she saw the content on the paper, her eyes froze slightly.A cold light flashed through his eyes, who would ask her out to meet in the middle of the night.

When they were children, Yu Jifang met at the door.
