The Princess Agents Want a Divorce

Chapter 18 There is a wolf before and a tiger behind

The master and servant stopped in front of a pawnshop.

Ying'er, go inside and pawn all those pieces of jewelry. I'll wait for you at the street corner ahead.

Miss, and you?

Gu Lingxi snapped her paper fan shut and gave Hua Ying a sharp tap on the forehead. "Call me Young Master. If you call me that wrong again, I'll beat you up."

Hua Ying rubbed her head where she'd been knocked out and stuck out her tongue. "Okay, young master. Aren't we going in together? Are you alright by yourself? Why don't you wait for me at the door?"

Gu Lingxi rolled her eyes and shoved Hua Ying into the pawnshop. "Stop nagging! Hurry up and go. I'll wait for you up ahead."

After sending her brother and Huaying away, she could put things into her spatial storage. Otherwise, how would she explain if the things she bought disappeared when she got back?

Gu Lingxi had made thorough plans for today's outing. Food is essential, so she needed to stock up on plenty of food and cooking utensils in her spatial storage! Daily necessities and a bed were also indispensable. Sigh, she wondered what she could buy with a measly two hundred taels of silver. Truly, even a hero is stingy with a penny!

Gu Lingxi shopped as she walked, quickly tossing smaller items into her spatial storage space after concealing them. But larger items required finding a quiet spot to put them away!

With a pot in his left hand, a chicken in his right, and a sack slung over his shoulder, what an image! Gu Lingxi looked up at the sky speechlessly! Today, he was supposed to be a dashing, handsome, and debonair man, but alas, it's all ruined! It seems necessary to hire a henchman, otherwise he'll have to do all these chores himself!

Anji Furniture? Is it a furniture store? Thinking that I still needed some furniture for my space, I went in to take a look!

The shop assistant was a middle-aged man! He wanted to greet the newcomer warmly, but seeing that Gu Lingxi was carrying so many bags and had no attendants, he knew she wasn't a good customer! So he spoke in a nonchalant tone, "Young master, what do you need?"

Gu Lingxi wasn't annoyed. She had seen plenty of people who judged others by their appearance in her past life, and she didn't want to lower herself to their level!

Pointing to the bed in the very center, he asked, "How much is this?"

Young master has a good eye. This bed is the prized possession of our shop, but the price... well, perhaps you can't afford it!

19,000 taels!

Yes, it is indeed very expensive. I really can't afford it with the little silver I have in my pocket right now! She touched her chin and was about to leave, but before she could even lift her foot, a mocking voice rang out!

Haha! You're obviously a country bumpkin. Is this a place for a lowly person like you?

Upon seeing the newcomer, the shopkeeper immediately greeted him with a smile! "Oh! Young Master Gongsun, you've arrived! Please come in!"

The one surnamed Gongsun, from the Left Prime Minister's family? What a small world! I haven't even settled my score with Gongsun Ruier yet, and now another one pops up! Heh!

Stop right there! Who are you calling a lowly commoner?

"I'm talking to you, you lowly commoner!" Gongsun Ce blurted out, not expecting anyone to dare to talk back. But realizing what he'd said, he was furious! "You lowly commoner, how dare you trick me!" He pointed at the people behind him and said, "You lot, get him! I'll teach him a lesson!"

Seeing the servants rushing towards her, Gu Lingxi sneered. Without any visible movement, the iron pot in her hand flew out! As if the iron pot had eyes, it struck the four men on the forehead several times with a series of loud bangs. The four men were stunned by the iron pot and lay on the ground, clutching their heads and groaning in pain!

Seeing his men so easily defeated, Gongsun Ce roared, "You brat, you dare to hit my men? Don't you even know who I am?"

Heh! What a coincidence! I'm the complete opposite of you! Heh heh, I never ask names when I beat people up. I just beat them up one by one, or even a whole bunch of them! Without waiting for Gongsun Ce's reaction, she grabbed her pot and slapped it across his face several times! Gongsun Ce was just a playboy with no fighting skills whatsoever, so all he could do was cry and scream for his parents!

Not satisfied with just beating him, Gu Lingxi pulled a large stack of silver notes from Gongsun Ce's arms, who was groaning on the ground! Seeing the boy's bulging arms, Gu Lingxi had already guessed he must have some good stuff! Tsk tsk!

Looking at this thick stack of items, it must be worth at least seven or eight thousand! Tsk tsk, these spendthrift young masters, hehe, why not take it if it's free? They've already offended them, so what's one or two more items? Anyway, she's disguised today, so it probably won't be so easy for these people to investigate her!

Oh dear! Look at my new pot, it's ruined like this. Consider this compensation!

Gongsun Ce was furious. He pointed at Gu Lingxi on the ground, trembling, and yelled, "You, you, you, you, you just wait! When I catch you, I'll skin you alive!"

The shopkeeper was stunned. This was it! There really was someone who wasn't afraid of death who dared to hit this spoiled brat of the Left Prime Minister's family and even robbed him of so many silver notes! He was afraid he would be implicated as well!

Hehe! Well, we'll talk after you catch me. Bye-bye!

Gu Lingxi could still hear the cries of pain from inside even after she had walked quite a distance! A bunch of idiots, why aren't you hurrying off to find someone to chase after them! Ouch! Ouch! Be gentle!

Gu Lingxi quickly weaved through the streets. Although she wasn't afraid of these people, it would be a loss if her identity were discovered and it caused trouble for the General's Mansion!

Not far ahead, Gu Lingxi saw Hua Ying looking around, seemingly waiting for her! Just as Gu Lingxi was about to go up and greet her, she heard a whooshing sound behind her.

A group of patrolling guards and the men who had just been beaten chased after them!

Get out of the way! Move aside! Make way for the Left Prime Minister's residence to apprehend thieves!

That kid is up ahead, don't let him get away!

Oh my god! She really is like a persistent leech! Looks like I can't meet up with Hua Ying. That girl is a burden; she might expose my identity! It's like being caught between a rock and a hard place!

Gu Lingxi looked up and surveyed her surroundings! A window on the fourth floor of a teahouse was open; it seemed she had no choice but to hide there for now! With a light tap of her toes, she spun around and sped towards the fourth floor!

What amazing agility! Everyone around was stunned! They had seen light-body skills before, but it was rare to see someone soaring so high in the air like that!

This is the fourth floor of Dexuan Building!

Jun Moli was lounging comfortably on the soft couch! Beside him, Jun Qianxun was saying something with a smug look on her face! Suddenly, Jun Moli's expression darkened! Someone lunged at him, and instinctively, Jun Moli thrust out a palm, intending to send the attacker flying!

Gu Lingxi never expected that there would be a bed under the window, with a person lying on it! This teahouse design is truly speechless! In order not to step on the person on the bed, Gu Lingxi quickly stopped, but because she stopped too quickly, she fell face-first onto the person on the bed!

Damn it, you pervert, haven't you had enough?

Jun Moli never expected that the hand he pushed out would hit the newcomer right there! Woman? Who sent you to approach me?

The voice sounded strangely familiar, but Gu Lingxi couldn't quite place it! Seeing that the man hadn't moved his hand away, Gu Lingxi became furious! She threw the chicken at the man's face and leaped into the air to dodge to the side!

You damn man, wearing only half a mask, you're probably an ugly monster. Getting close to you? I'd rather get taken advantage of!

Jun Moli showed no mercy, cleaving the chickens into pieces with a backhand slash, feathers flying everywhere! Then she pounced on Gu Lingxi!

Looking at her chicken, Gu Lingxi felt a pang of heartache! Oh dear! My chicken! Did I forget to check the almanac before going out today? Yes, I definitely didn't! Sigh, her pot had just been ruined, and now her chicken hadn't escaped the fate either!
