Although she had doubts in her heart, Xiaoxiao kept silent about the past no matter how she questioned her. In addition, she suddenly became the head court lady of Yuanyuan House. With abundant wealth, Mother Li intentionally or unintentionally ignored her doubts.
"Princess." Xiaoxiao's face turned pale.
Ruan Mianmian patted Xiaoxiao's hand comfortingly: "Don't worry, no one will know about this."
After saying this, Ruan Mianmian's eyes turned to Mother Li with a warning in her tone: "You don't have to worry about someone exposing this matter. I think everyone cherishes their lives."
"Why should I believe you when you, a little kid, talk nonsense?" Mother Li barely maintained her final stubbornness.
Jiu'er slowly took back the dagger. Mother Li was very aware of current affairs. Besides, the princess had already revealed her identity, so she had to think twice about what she wanted to do.
"Five thousand taels of silver." Ruan Mianmian said as he took out the banknote from his pocket, "or ten thousand taels of silver if you think it's not enough."
Mother Li hesitated for a moment and then shook her head: "No, less, less. Think about it, as long as Xiaoxiao stays here for three years, she can earn at least one hundred thousand taels for me."
One hundred thousand taels was really a big deal. Ruan Mianmian frowned. It wasn't that he couldn't afford it, but he just felt that the old bustard was too dark-hearted.
"If Miss Xiaoxiao continues to be here, I think you will have to go to the prison of the Criminal Department." Jiuer couldn't help but said.
Mother Li seemed to love her money more than her life: "No matter what, the sale is a voluntary transaction. Since the princess really wants to redeem her life, she should give her a real price. No need to negotiate for ten thousand taels."
Ruan Mianmian gritted his teeth: "Twenty thousand."
"No, let's do this. The price is 80,000 taels."
"Thirty-eight thousand taels."
"If the princess is really sincere, I will give you the real price, sixty-eight thousand taels, not even a penny less."
Ruan Mianmian snorted coldly, but reached into his arms to take out the money.
Whatever you eat today, you will have to vomit it out tomorrow, Ruan Mianmian thought in her heart.
Suddenly, Li's mother's eyes fell on Ruan Mianmian's hand: "Princess, where did this come from?"
It turned out that when Ruan Mianmian took out the banknote, he took out the jade pendant given to him by the Prince and Tutor Jichang that was stuffed in his arms.
"Is this one?" Ruan Mianmian played with the jade pendant, "I was given it as a gift."
"Can you let me have a look?" Mother Li stared at the jade pendant.
Ruan Mianmian handed it out: "Take a look and return it to me after you finish it."
Mother Li carefully took the jade pendant and looked at it front and back. Now she no longer had any doubts about the identity of Princess Ruan Mianmian. She also knew that she was not someone she could mess with, so she had an explanation for her boss.
"Princess, please keep it."
Sliding the jade pendant into her arms, Ruan Mianmian looked at the banknote in her hand, wanting to hand it over but feeling really distressed.
"The princess gave me five hundred taels of silver when she came last time. I also spent five hundred taels of silver when I bought Xiaoxiao." Mother Li couldn't restrain her heartache.
After a few facial twitches, Mother Li managed to squeeze out the words: "Xiaoxiao, I will give it to the princess, and it will be considered a good relationship."
"Okay." Ruan Mianmian was very surprised, "If this is true, Mianmian accepts your love."
Mother Li turned around and walked towards the door: "Princess, wait a moment, I'll go get the deed of betrayal."
Jiu'er swayed and blocked Mother Li's path: "Princess Princess and Miss Xiaoxiao are going together."
Ruan Mianmian understood Jiu'er's thoughts. She was afraid that Li's mother would regret it, and she couldn't worry about herself, so she suggested that everyone should follow her.
Until she got on the carriage, Miss Xiao Xiao, also known as Lin Bingying, was still in a daze. She was about to fall into hell and never recover, and suddenly she returned to the human world. It was incredible.
"Princess, for your life-saving grace." Lin Bingying's eyes filled with tears. Thousands of words turned into one sentence. "Thank you!"
"Ms. Lin, I happened to go to listen to music yesterday, and you and I are destined. As for rescuing you today, you don't need to thank me. The first thing I want to thank is my eldest brother. If he hadn't asked me, I might not have taken care of this matter. Second
The two people I want to thank are my grandfather. If he doesn't agree, I won't dare to act rashly."
"The great kindness of the old Marquis will be unforgettable in my life." Lin Bingying bit her lips, "Princess, who is your eldest brother?"
"It's over. After talking for a long time, you don't know who my eldest brother is?" Ruan Mianmian couldn't help crying.
Seeing the rich and unusual expressions on Ruan Mianmian's cute and cute face, Jiu'er was amused, and Lin Bingying couldn't help covering her mouth and snickering.
"Ms. Lin, my eldest brother's name is Ruan Jin."
"Oh, your eldest brother and I are classmates."
"It's weird to call you Miss Lin. I'd better call you Sister Lin."
Lin Bingying nodded: "The princess doesn't mind, so I shamelessly agreed."
"Sister Lin, since you recognize me as the princess of Ding'an Hou Mansion, why don't you know my eldest brother?" Ruan Mianmian felt it was unreasonable.
A tall and tall figure appeared in Lin Bingying's mind and she murmured: "I only know that he is the son of the Ruan family. I really didn't know that he was from the Ding'an Marquis Mansion."
"It seems you are not familiar with each other?"
"We met and chatted a few words, but we didn't talk in depth."
Ruan Mianmian rolled her eyes, and before she could tell her horoscope, her eldest brother would do anything for Lin Bingying.
After a moment of pause, Lin Bingying's pretty face turned red: "After all, there are differences between men and women."
It seemed there was still hope. Ruan Mianmian keenly caught the red cloud on Lin Bingying's face.
"Besides the eldest brother, don't you also know my second brother and my third brother?"
"We know each other, we all know each other." Lin Bingying lowered her head shyly, "Of course we all know each other when we study in the same academy, but because we don't have much interaction, I haven't inquired about their life experiences."
"I see."
Ruan Mianmian couldn't help but worry about Ruan Jin. The way he looked that day was that he was clearly deeply in love with the beautiful woman. Now Sister Lin is not indifferent to her elder brother, but there is still a long way to go.
"Princess, it was my father who begged the old Marquis for help, right?" Lin Bingying thought of her only family member looking at Ruan Mianmian with hope.
"Although your father has not been convicted, he is still in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment." Ruan Mianmian confessed frankly, "I just said, it was my eldest brother who begged me, and I went to beg my grandfather."
Lin Bingying was stunned for a moment and then smiled bitterly: "Princess, please let me get off the bus. If I don't go back, I will have no home without my father. That so-called family cannot accommodate me."
"I didn't say I would send you back to the Lin family." Ruan Mianmian smiled.
It seems that Lin Bingying misunderstood. After finally rescuing her from the tiger's den, how could she be sent back to the wolf's den?
"Sister Lin, I have your marriage contract in my hand. I just need a piano player to teach me how to play the piano. You are the best candidate." Ruan Mianmian said seriously.
Hearing this, Lin Bingying's eyes turned red. As Princess Linglong, why would she worry about not being able to find a famous teacher to teach her?
This move was clearly out of consideration for her dignity, under the guise of teaching piano, and to give her a place to stay.
Thinking of this, Lin Bingying's gratitude to Ruan Mianmian was beyond description in any words.
