After some brainstorming, Shi Li finally took the newly bought ingredients secretly to the neighbor aunt's house.

Facing the aunt's puzzled question, Shi Li said embarrassedly: "My distant relatives came to visit, and I bought these things, but I have never made them before, and I am afraid that they will be wasted, so I want to ask if you can help me?"

The aunt had always been very kind to Shi Li, and felt sorry for her being alone. Knowing that she now had family around her, she was happy for her and naturally agreed without hesitation, telling Shi Li to go home and wait for her.

Shi Li was also happy, and immediately took out a coin and stuffed it into the aunt's pocket. The aunt angrily refused and refused to accept it no matter what.

The two of them pushed and shoved at the door for a long time before the aunt reluctantly accepted the money and glared at Shi Li in reproach.

After arranging everything for dinner, Shi Li walked back and went into the house.

Shi Wu was originally lying on the bed with his eyes closed, but when he heard the noise, he opened his eyes and looked at her, their eyes met.

Shi Li took out the forged pawn ticket and handed it over, feeling somewhat guilty. "This is the pawn ticket. It's for ten taels of silver."

She then took out another ten taels of silver and wanted to give them to Shi Wu.

But he only accepted the pawn ticket, and did not even look at the ten taels of silver. He just said softly: "It is not convenient for me now. This is all I have for now. I will find a way later."

His attitude was as firm as Shi Li's towards the aunt just now. Shi Li finally put the ten taels of silver away with a guilty conscience.

What kind of thing was this? Did she betray her subordinate Jian Sui?

Really catching up with Huang Shiren.

Shi Li secretly despised herself and felt very embarrassed. When she came to her senses, she realized that the room was too quiet, so quiet that it was a bit awkward, so she took the initiative to find a topic to talk to Shi Wu.

"Do you want to contact your family and friends? I can write and deliver letters for you."

After saying this, he realized that he had been immersed in the play again, forgetting that the assassins in Qianqi Tower were all alone and without any ties.

"No need to bother, I don't have anyone to contact." As expected, Shi Wu answered like this. But he was not as lonely as Shi Li imagined, after all, he had long been accustomed to his own identity.

Okay, okay, looking at his calm and composed appearance, Shi Li felt guilty again.

"Then you take a nap, I won't disturb you."

It was impossible to stay in this room any longer, so Shi Li simply slipped out to get some fresh air and gave the room to Shi Wu.

However, she didn't expect that as soon as she walked into the yard, a hummingbird flew down from the sky and landed on her shoulder silently and accurately.

There was a small piece of paper stuck under the wing.

If it wasn't an emergency, Qianqilou would never release a hummingbird to contact her.

Shi Li opened the note, looked at the words on it, and frowned slightly.

She asked the steward to stall for the Crown Prince of Yan State first, but she didn't expect that less than a day later, the other party came to urge her again, which showed that he simply didn't take her seriously.

Crushing the note, Shi Li thought about the information about the Prince of Yan Kingdom in his mind.

He might be a conservative and mediocre monarch in the future, and not a wise monarch, but he is so eager to assassinate the monarch now, so he can't be considered a loyal and filial person. He also urged and forced Qianqilou to take action, and he didn't take her seriously at all.

"As long as he doesn't harm the people, it doesn't matter which prince succeeds to the throne of Yan Kingdom." Shi Li curled the corners of his mouth, and in his heart he had completely denied the Crown Prince of Yan Kingdom.

If she helps such a person now, she may be feared or even stabbed in the back in the future. After all, patricide has a bad reputation. If the prince of Yan Kingdom really succeeds to the throne one day, he will definitely regard Qianqi Tower as a thorn in his side.

If she doesn't help, then given the prince's temperament, he will be jealous of her.

Therefore, the best way is to prevent him from having power, so that even if he is jealous of her, he will not cause any trouble.

Shi Li had already made up her mind and was just waiting tonight to arrange for the butler to handle the matter.

The aroma of food suddenly wafted over, and the auntie next door quickly prepared the ingredients and brought them directly to her.

"Xiao Li, I brought it to you. Eat it while it's hot!" The auntie was holding the dishes and walked in when she saw that the door was not locked.

Shi Li quickly went up to take it. The aunt looked at her curiously, "Where are your relatives?"

"He's feeling a little unwell and is in the house." Shi Li answered perfunctorily, sent the curious aunt away, and walked into the house with the food.
