The mistress is not a cannon fodder, the cold prince falls in love with her every night

After a tiring day and night, Su Li slept soundly until she woke up naturally.

When I opened my eyes, I was shocked to find that I was still naked under the veil.

She was so tired last night that she fell asleep without even changing her clothes.

She was so frightened that she turned over and sat up in bed, turning her head carefully to look at Pei Heng. Fortunately, he had his eyes closed and seemed not to have woken up yet.

There were actually two bloodstains on the nose.

It's over!

Could it be that it was broken last night?

She quickly got up on tiptoe, stepped over Pei Heng's body and got off the bed. With a guilty conscience, she wiped the blood under Pei Heng's nose with a wet towel.

When I opened the door, it was already bright outside and the sun was high in the sky.

Songzhi heard the noise and hurried over to serve.

"Miss, you are awake."

Songzhi's face had a suspicious blush. Su Li was also a little embarrassed. They coughed twice and pretended nothing had happened.

After going into the side room to wash up, Songzhi reported on the things happening in the courtyard.

"The young master had breakfast early this morning and went to the academy. I brought him a lunch box. Song Tao is playing with the young lady in her room and has just finished half of her meal. Madam Li is with two other maids making clothes for the young lady."

"Two maids?"

Su Li was surprised.

Songzhi smiled and said:

"They were Madam Zhou and Madam Chang, who had driven away the wild cats yesterday. They came to the courtyard early in the morning to serve. When they saw Madam Li holding the cloth, they said they could also sew clothes and were extremely attentive. Madam Li personally tested them for a long time before agreeing to let them help her."

It turned out to be the case.

It seems that these two maids have some foresight. After some negotiation yesterday, they came to surrender today.

"Well, but you still have to keep observing them. Don't stay away from them, but don't get too close either. If after a month, they haven't done anything wrong, give them some more sweet treats. After three months, we'll see if they're still useful."

"Yes!"

Songzhi personally combed Su Li's hair, tied her hair into a bun, and changed her into a mint green dress. She looked fresh and refined, like a fairy.

"Miss, the old lady said that you don't have to go there every day to pay your respects. Just do as you please. Also, please come over tonight for dinner with the young master and the young lady."

"Okay, got it."

It just so happened that Su Li was also very tired today.

My body felt like it was torn in half, and my calves were shaking violently, but I didn't have the time to go over there to sign in.

It's a good time to take a break.

"Where's Mr. Fei?"

Su Li was still thinking about Pei Heng's condition, wondering when Mr. Fei would start treatment.

"Mr. Fei disappeared this morning with a pot of wine and a chicken. However, he said that he only needs to have the fat chicken and wine delivered to his room for three meals a day. Also, after these medicines are used up, he will decide on the next step of treatment based on the prince's condition."

Su Li nodded and thought of another important matter.

"Now that we have Huan'er and Xi'er in the courtyard, there's a lot more work to do. I don't dare to use the servants we had before. We have to go out and buy a few capable maids and servants."

"Yes! I'll take care of it right away. It just so happens that the mute slave is out preparing things for Mr. Fei today. I'll go find him, and together we'll go to the traffickers to get a few more for the young lady to choose from. I'll also buy some cloth for the young master to make his clothes."

For the past two days, the inner courtyard had only Song Zhi, Song Tao, and Nanny Li to manage, and they were indeed quite busy. Even Su Li herself was working non-stop, without a moment's rest.

"Okay, go ahead. Thank you for your hard work."

Su Li had a simple meal and then went to the main room to take care of Pei Heng.

Mr. Fei prescribed some medicine, and Pei Heng drank all the black medicine without blinking.

"Would you like some candied fruit?"

Su Li was like coaxing a child. She looked at Pei Heng's mouth and thought of what happened last night. She felt a little embarrassed for a moment and quickly looked away.

"Not bitter!"

Pei Heng didn't even frown.

Taking medicine and eating candied fruits are things only children do, and he is not a child.

However, as soon as he saw Su Li's red face and white neck, his nose felt hot and itchy.

Seeing that Pei Heng was finally a little more normal today, Su Li told him everything that had happened in the hospital over the past two days, as if she was reporting to her leader.

Pei Heng listened quietly, a trace of pity flashing across his eyes:

"Thank you."

"It's not hard. I'm not doing all this for you, I'm doing it for myself too. Once I've dealt with the cunning slave, I can finally rest easy. I'll have a good relationship with the children, as I'm counting on them to support me in my old age!"

Although Su Li said this, Pei Heng still felt very guilty.

After all, the mess in Qingshan Courtyard was all because of his incompetence as the master.

If he were still the same as before, who would dare to treat his wife with contempt or mistreat his children?

Thinking of this, he became a little excited again.

I hope Mr. Fei can really cure me.

Even if I can't recover as before, at least I can stand up.

For the first time, he had the idea of ​​surviving and giving this weak yet strong woman a support.

Su Li helped him deal with his personal affairs, then changed the dressing, gave him a massage, and chatted idly while sitting by the bed.

As a result, while chatting, I began to doze off.

Pei Heng looked at Su Li, who was squinting her eyes and pounding rice, and smiled from the bottom of his heart.

……

In the afternoon, Songzhi came back with the mute slave.

There was a long line of people following behind the two of them.

There were the owners of a cloth shop, an embroidery shop, and a treasure shop, all carrying bags full of stuff. There was also a human trafficker with a dozen maids and servants, filling the entire yard.

"Miss, everything that Master Fei asked us to prepare is ready. I brought it in along with these goods. The people in the Marquis' Mansion will only think we are making a big purchase and won't think of anything else."

Songzhi is very smart in her work, and Su Li gave her a thumbs up.

Coincidentally, Brother Huan also came back from school.

"Brother Huan, come here. Take a look at these fabrics. Which ones do you like?"

Su Li greeted him.

Looking at the people and goods filling the yard, Huan Ge'er wondered if this woman was a nouveau riche. He'd never seen anyone buy things like this before!

"whatever!"

"How can it be so casual?"

Su Li took his hand and stopped in front of the goods in the cloth shop. She picked up a sable-colored piece and gestured on him.

"This looks good. Do you like it?"

"Ah."

Then I picked up a moon-white one,

"This one looks good too."

"Okay."

"And this one in Aiqing, gardenia color, ultramarine, how about it?"

Although she was asking Huan Ge'er for his opinion, Su Li was addicted to picking. She felt that Huan Ge'er, with his red lips, white teeth and outstanding appearance, would look good in any color of clothes.

Simply, she pointed at the cart of fabric and said without blinking:

"Forget it, I won't be picky. Let's just leave these."

The waiter of the cloth shop ran for joy, received the money for the cloth and the tip, then left the shop with a huge jump, expressing his gratitude profusely.

The girl from the embroidery shop looked so green that her eyes turned green.

"Young Madam, our show line is the best in Shengjing City, would you like to take a look?"

Su Li touched it and found it was indeed good.

"Okay, keep this basket. If you use it well, I'll let you give it away again."

Xiuniang laughed so hard that her teeth were exposed.

The shopkeeper of Zhenbaozhai quickly asked his staff to open boxes of jewels and jades.

"Young Madam, this box contains jade pendants and jade rings. This box contains jewelry, this box contains accessories, and this box contains small items. Please take your pick. If you have any specific requests, I will send them back tomorrow."

Su Li pulled Huan Ge'er,

"Pick out a few jade pendants to hold your clothes together, as well as a belt, a hair crown, and a necklace. Take your pick. My son of Su Li, you can't go out looking too shabby."

She is happy to spend money on her children.

"It's already a lot, enough."

Huan Ge'er was terrified.

Even when his father was around, he had never seen people shopping like this. In his understanding, shopping meant going to the street, entering a store, and choosing something, and then paying attention to the adults' opinions. He couldn't choose anything expensive or too fancy.

But I didn’t know that I could ask the shopkeeper to bring the items to my door personally and let me choose.

He wore a different piece of fabric every day, and there was no telling how long it would take to wear them all. And then there were boxes of accessories. This woman must have been a daughter from a wealthy family!

With the way she spends money, Qingshanyuan will probably be squandered by her sooner or later!

"How can there be so many?"

Su Li couldn't suppress the passion of both his lifespans.

In her previous life, when she passed by a maternity and baby store, she couldn't help but fantasize about buying things. When she passed by a children's clothing store, she imagined that her child would be so old by then and she would have to buy things. When she passed by a shoe store, she still fantasized about buying things...

Now it is finally possible.

She just felt that it was not enough, far from enough.

After picking out a dozen jade pendants, hairpins, and some small trinkets for the study, Su Li finally stopped after Huan Ge'er tried his best to stop her.

She was still not satisfied and said to the shopkeeper of Zhenbaozhai:

"I have a little daughter. You can… Oh, no need. I will come to your store tomorrow to choose it myself."

Tomorrow is the third day of the family's return to the parents' home. Su Li is going back to the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion and plans to stop by Zhenbaozhai to pick out some jewelry for Xi Jie'er.

The shopkeeper agreed quickly.

This young lady was famous for spending money like water when she was still a boudoir girl. Even now that she is married, she is still the same. Looking at Su Li, the shopkeeper's eyes were filled with silver.

Finally, only the human traffickers were left.

The trafficker was already very excited. When it was finally his turn, he hurriedly introduced himself:

"Young Madam, these guys are very good-looking."

"do not want!"

The trafficker was taken aback and quickly continued to introduce:

"These guys are smart."

"do not want!"

"These few can recite poems, write couplets, play the piano, and paint."

"do not want!"

The human trafficker was sweating profusely. The previous shopkeepers had such good business, why was it that he was having trouble with everything?

These were the standards used when the Marquis’ Mansion bought maids in the past!

The human brigand wiped his sweat:

"So, what kind does the young lady want?"

"A maidservant with decent looks is fine, but she needs to be diligent, have some kung fu skills, and be strong."

"Have!"

The trafficker slapped his thigh and quickly came forward with two maids from the back of the team.

"These two were sold out after their master committed a crime and had his property confiscated and exiled. They have some martial arts skills and are quite strong. But they have one disadvantage: they eat a lot."

"Not afraid."

Su Li walked forward to take a look. The two of them were disheveled and had cold expressions. Seeing Su Li looking at them, they looked back at them coldly and rudely, with a bit of cruelty in their eyes.

"Okay, that's it for the two of them."

Su Li likes maids with personality, and she prepared these two maids for Xi Jie'er. Xi Jie'er is still young and needs someone to protect her.

"Okay, fifty taels."

The trafficker was so happy that he stretched out his hand.

Unexpectedly, the two maids glared at the trafficker coldly:

"Swindler! Yesterday, we only sold it for ten taels between the two of us! You clearly just saw this lady's generosity and asked for an exorbitant price!"

The trafficker's face flushed with embarrassment, and he stammered:

"You, you, don't talk nonsense! Believe it or not, I will beat you to death!"

As he said this, he was about to take the whip from his waist.

Su Li quickly stopped him, "Fifty is fifty. Untie them."

The human trafficker glared at the two maids, took out the key and unlocked their handcuffs and shackles.
