After hearing Luo Yao's words, Bitao and Xiaoxue both looked up at Li Xingchen.
Li Xingchen smiled awkwardly at them, patted his thigh and explained: "I'm really not a bad person, you don't have to look at me like this, right?"
"Then what do you want to do?" Luo Yao asked.
After looking at them, Li Xingchen said seriously: "I have lived here for so long and no one has come here, so I plan to treat myself as my own home and live here for a long time. Since it is my own home, I must clean it up." Have some!"
"That's it?"
Li Xingchen raised his hand again, "I swear, I didn't lie to you. You can keep an eye on me from now on. If I dare to do anything wrong, you will kill me."
Bitao and Xiaoxue thought about his words and walked back to Luo Yao.
"Princess, do you want to keep him?" Bi Tao asked.
They just came here and they really need help.
From the current point of view, he has not done anything to harm them, and he has also helped them clean up the house. It is okay to keep him for the time being.
If there is really an enemy, it is better to keep the enemy by your side than to let the enemy hide in the dark.
After thinking about this, Luo Yao looked at Li Xingchen again, "I believe you for the time being. You'd better say everything is true."
"Thank you sister."
After a pause, Li Xingchen said hurriedly: "It will be dawn soon, you should rest first!"
"Um."
As if he was worried about them, Li Xingchen gave a few more instructions before leaving their room.
Watching Li Xingchen leave, Bitao and Xiaoxue looked back at Luo Yao at the same time.
Luo Yao: "Go to sleep!"
"What about you?" Xiaoxue asked.
"I am not sleepy."
After all, she didn't dare to sleep when she first came here.
Bi Tao hurriedly said: "You and Xiaoxue can sleep! My servant is guarding the house. If anything happens, I can wake you up immediately."
"No."
She didn't trust Bitao to guard her, so she decided to guard it herself.
At her insistence, Bitao and Xiaoxue returned to the room to rest.
The room returned to silence, and she took out the letter and jade pendant that Xiao Yan had given her.
She looked back and forth at the jade pendant. In addition to some special totems, there seemed to be a word engraved on it - Yu.
What does the word "yu" mean?
Before she had time to think too much, her eyes fell on the letter.
She carefully opened the letter and found a blank piece of paper inside!
I changed different corners and looked back and forth for a long time, but it was still a blank piece of paper.
Jade pendant with words and blank paper.
Why does mother keep these two things?
She was so dizzy thinking about it in the house that she simply got up and left the room, walking around the house.
This house is much smaller than Li Wangfu, but fortunately there is nothing missing in it, so it will not have a big impact on their future lives.
In order to prevent her from leaving the house, Xiao Yan locked the front and back doors of the house and had people guarding them.
Good for you!
She wanted to go out, but this house couldn't stop her.
After thinking about it, she went to Li Xingchen's yard.
The yard is empty. Where have they gone?
She searched the entire house and finally found Li Xingchen in the backyard kitchen.
Li Xingchen was cutting vegetables in the kitchen. When he saw her coming, he hurriedly said hello with a smile, "Sister, why are you here?"
"I couldn't sleep in a different place, so I just walked around." She stared at Li Xingchen's skillful chopping of vegetables, "Can you cook?"
It's rare to find a man who can cook these days.
Li Xingchen scratched his head in embarrassment, "I live here alone. If I don't know how to cook, I will starve to death."
That's right.
Luo Yao didn't refute him and walked into the kitchen to see what he had done.
He prepared a lot of light side dishes, as well as vegetable and meat porridge, and it seemed that he even prepared their portions.
He took out an empty bowl and spoon and handed them to Luo Yao, "Try the vegetable and meat porridge I made."
"Thanks a lot."
"Since I live in your house, I should always contribute." Li Xingchen said with a smile.
Luo Yao didn't reply. After carefully tasting the vegetable and meat porridge he made, she gave him a thumbs up.
"tasty."
Li Xingchen seemed to be greatly encouraged and was as happy as a child.
Such an innocent child really doesn't look like a bad person.
"How old are you?" Luo Yao asked.
"I am 17 years old."
A few years younger than her.
She put down the bowl and spoon and asked, "Do you have any men's clothes over there that I can wear?"
"What do you want in men's clothing?"
"Of course it's useful."
Li Xingchen wiped his hands clean and turned back to his yard.
Returning to the kitchen again, he handed her a brand new men's clothing, "I bought this newly. I haven't had time to wear it yet, so I gave it to you."
"Thank you."
Putting away her clothes, she left the kitchen.
Li Xingchen delivered breakfast to their yard. While the three of them were having breakfast, Bitao and Xiaoxue kept praising Li Xingchen and seemed to regard Li Xingchen as one of their own.
She just smiled and said nothing.
After breakfast, she put on men's clothes and appeared in front of Bitao and Xiaoxue.
The two of them looked at her in surprise at the same time. Bi Tao asked first, "Princess, what are you going to do?"
"I have something to do and I have to go out."
They don't have money, so they can't rely on Li Xingchen everywhere!
She had to plan for the future.
When Bi Tao heard this, she quickly reminded her, "The prince said you are not allowed to leave here even half a step. If the prince finds out..."
"He's not here, how would he know?"
"But……"
She interrupted Bi Tao, "You don't have to worry about me, just stay here and wait for my return!"
"princess……"
Before Bi Tao finished speaking, Luo Yao had already walked away.
The two looked at each other and could only shrug helplessly.
Luo Yao came to a secluded corner of the backyard, jumped up the high wall, avoided the people guarding the front and back doors, and left the house quietly.
When she came to the market, she happened to encounter a stall selling masks. She bought a golden half-face mask from the stall.
Wearing a mask means you are not afraid of being recognized by acquaintances.
She planned to go to the Shu family store. She wanted to find out whether the Shu family store was something left by her mother.
After taking a few steps, he was bumped into by a man walking towards him.
She frowned and glared at the man, "How do you walk?"
The man lowered his head and apologized, "I'm sorry!"
The man apologized with a smile and walked away in a hurry.
Ignoring the hiccup, she continued walking forward.
Her hands fell on her waist, and she suddenly stopped. Her waist was empty.
Her purse is missing!
She was already so poor, but the damn thief dared to steal her purse.
Thinking back carefully, she quickly targeted the man who hit her just now.
She immediately walked back to chase the man just now.
After chasing him all the way to a gambling house, he finally saw the man wandering outside the door.
She stepped forward and grabbed the man, "You little thief, how dare you steal my money bag, don't you think I..."
Seeing the man's face clearly, she swallowed back the rest of the words.
Why is it him!
