Seeing that Ling Silang was truly frightened, Du Mingxian felt a pang of guilt and hurriedly stepped forward to hug him, pressing her face against his chest. "Don't be afraid, I will always be there for you."

“I have a space to protect myself and won’t put myself in danger. An’an is not grown up yet, and I haven’t grown old with you yet, so how can I dare to let something happen to me?”

As she spoke, she looked up at Ling Silang and said, "You too, now that you're secretly helping the Crown Prince, it's not without danger."

"I understand that no one values ​​their life more than I do."

He once thought he wouldn't live past ten, eighteen, or twenty.

He was nicknamed "short-lived ghost" from a young age, and he knew he wouldn't live long.

His parents and brothers used all their family's resources to keep him alive and ensure he lived a good life, and eventually he married her.

During that near-death experience, he wanted to live more than anyone else; he still had so many things left undone.

Perhaps God heard his plea, for he lived, he truly lived.

From then on, he really valued his life.

He studied medicine not to save anyone, but to enable himself to protect himself. He prepared and used poisons to make his own life better.

Du Mingxian hugged him tightly, "It's okay, we'll all be okay, we'll be alright."

With no work to do, Du Mingxian had more free time each day. The next day, Ling Silang went to tell the Crown Prince about the situation here, but Du Mingxian didn't go. However, she secretly contacted Chunfeng and Xiayu.

Seeing that Liu Ya was eager to find work every day, Du Mingxian asked them to arrange an easy job for Liu Ya and also take care of her family.

That afternoon, Chunfeng brought news that he had found Liu Ya a job working at a steamed bun shop.

However, the steamed bun shop only sells in the morning, so you have to work there in the middle of the night and can't stop until you finish in the morning. The monthly wage isn't much, only 800 coins.

In the capital city, the wages are low, but the hours are short, so it's still a source of income.

Du Mingxian then went to find Liu Ya.

With no more laundry to do, Liu Ya felt listless and lacked energy.

When Du Mingxian visited, she brought Liu Ya some medicine. It was a frostbite ointment that she had Ling Silang prepare, specifically for treating the injuries on Liu Ya's hands.

"Sister Liu, here, take this. Apply some to your hands every day; it will help them heal faster."

"That won't do," Liu Ya said instinctively, refusing.

Du Mingxian chuckled, "Then Sister Liu, will you give me the money? Ten coins a box."

"Alright then." Liu Ya smiled and went inside to get the money. She came out and handed the money to Du Mingxian, finally showing a smile. "Thank you."

"Keep it, it'll come in handy. I'll come over to see you about something."

"what happened?"

Du Mingxian lowered her voice and said, "Sister Liu Ya, I have a job that pays 800 cash a month. Do you want to do it?"

"This……"

"I go there in the middle of the night to work, and I can leave once the busy period in the morning is over."

Upon hearing this, Liu Ya immediately perked up, "There's such a good job?"

"Making steamed buns isn't a good job either. If you'd like, I'll take you there."

"Okay, thank you." Liu Ya hesitated after saying that, "If there's such a good job, why don't you do it yourself?"

“I can’t get up that early, and besides, I’d like to go back to the workshop if it ever reopens.”

If you do a good job at the workshop, you can earn eight hundred coins in three or four days.

Liu Ya was certain that Du Mingxian was genuinely trying to introduce her to Du Mingxian, so she didn't refuse. "Okay, okay, then I'll accept. Thank you so much, thank you so much."

"Sister Liu, please stop talking. Let's go earlier tomorrow morning, and I'll take you there to have a look."

"to make."

Liu Ya had made up her mind. She might not be able to cook for Brother Jiang in the morning, but she could cook at other times. She would finish very early, often going in the middle of the night, which was a good job.

Du Mingxian agreed to go back to her room, and Liu Ya went back to her room to tell Jiang Liting what had happened.

Jiang Liting was somewhat worried, "After midnight, it's dark and the roads are slippery. You're a woman all alone; I'm afraid something might happen to you."

Du Mingxian, who had already returned to her room, hadn't really thought about this issue because she was used to walking at night and had overlooked it.

"It's alright. I'll take something with me for self-defense when I leave. Besides, the steamed bun shop isn't far away. I can go check it out and walk faster."

Jiang Liting was still a little worried, but seeing Liu Ya's enthusiastic expression, she said, "Okay, when you go over tomorrow, I'll go and take a look too."

"Why don't you stay home and read? Don't let this little thing interfere with your reading."

"These are not trivial matters; they are all family matters."

Liu Ya didn't know what to say.

The next morning, the three of them went to the steamed bun shop together. Jiang Liting asked the owner what time he would be there that night, and then expressed his concern that Liu Ya might be in danger. Only then did Du Mingxian think of this matter.

She immediately slapped her forehead in regret, realizing she had forgotten.

Liu Ya was quite willing, but after asking, Jiang Liting only politely said that he would think about it at home and then left with Liu Ya.

Liu Ya: "..."

On the way back, Jiang Liting and Liu Ya walked ahead, while Du Mingxian walked behind. She heard their conversation clearly.

"That won't do. It's not safe to go there in the middle of the night. We can't put you in danger just for a little money."

Liu Ya hurriedly explained, "I will protect myself, I will definitely be fine, you really don't need to worry. Think about it, who am I? I usually beat people up in the village."

Jiang Liting shook her head. "You can fight in the village because you know everyone there. Even if something happens, you can go to the other person's house. But in the capital, everyone is a stranger. What will you do if someone actually attacks you?"

Liu Ya remained silent, feeling regretful. She really wanted to do this job, which was hard to come by, but judging from Jiang Liting's expression, it was not an option.

Du Mingxian overheard the entire conversation between the two from behind and knew that she had been too naive and hadn't considered the danger.

"Sister Liu, maybe you shouldn't go on this job. I didn't think of that. I was just thinking about getting up early and didn't consider the safety issues."

Seeing that Jiang Liting had already left and Du Mingxian was there, Liu Ya didn't bother to chase after him. She just walked slowly behind with Du Mingxian, saying, "I'm just feeling sorry for this job that I can't do."

God knows she spent the last two days wandering around the capital, but couldn't find many suitable jobs.

"Keep looking slowly, and I'll help you ask around some more."

She wanted to arrange for Liu Ya to work at her family's restaurant, but Liu Ya had to cook for Jiang Liting, and it was mealtime, so the restaurant was very busy.

Therefore, the timing is not very suitable.

Never mind, I'll think about something else later.

"Thank you." Liu Ya was very grateful, but she couldn't go to work now, and there was nothing she could do.

"Sister Liu, there's no need for thanks between us."
