After I died, the scumbag prince cried down the city wall

Chapter 252 Gold is hard to find

At this moment, Cui Rong pulled out a heavy banknote from her sleeve. As soon as she opened her mouth, she was interrupted by Li Jingzhao: "You saved my life. I cannot repay you for this kindness. You must accept this little gift. If it weren't for you, I might have been on the verge of life and death. How dare I do such a heartless thing for the sake of fame? Do you think I am the kind of ungrateful person?"

Cui Rongrong looked at his determined eyes and could only take back the banknote silently.

After spending some time together, she felt more and more that Li Jingzhao had a gentle temperament like jade. Although he was born in a wealthy family, he did not have the slightest dandy habits, and he was always gentle and elegant in dealing with people.

Suddenly, Li Jingzhao changed the subject: "The one who is visiting today is the eldest son of the Xie family, Song Yanyi?"

Cui Rong's hand could not help but pause, and she looked back at him in confusion: "Why do you think so?"

Li Jingzhao smiled faintly, "Three years ago, I had the honor of visiting the capital. I happened to catch up with the announcement of the imperial examination results and witnessed his outstanding demeanor with my own eyes. People often say that Master Xie is talented, handsome, and cool and unworldly like the bright moon. Seeing him today, I can see that his reputation is well-deserved."

Cui Rong secretly sighed in her heart but did not show it on her face.

"When we met again today, I didn't recognize him right away. I just thought he looked kind. It was only later that I suddenly realized that he was undoubtedly Young Master Xie."

Li Jingzhao said with a smile: "Miss Bai's reputation for medical skills has long been known far and wide. Even a prominent family like the Xie Mansion would come to her for medical treatment, which is evident."

Cui Rongrong curled her lips slightly: "It's not a reputation at all, it's just that the old lady of their family has a preference for the medicinal snacks I make."

"The Xie family is very powerful and has countless delicacies. They were able to send someone to visit you specially, and Young Master Xie came to visit you personally, which shows that they value you very much, young lady."

Li Jingzhao added.

Cui Rongrong said calmly, "Master Xie is filial to his parents, so he would not dare to neglect the old lady's food. Since you know him well, how could you have never heard of his moral character?"

Li Jingzhao paused for a moment, then replied, "Master Xie's gentlemanly demeanor has long been well-known, and I have certainly heard of it."

Everyone knows that a gentleman is as gentle as jade, and his character is as clear as the breeze and bright as the moon.

Li Jingzhao suddenly changed the subject: "Speaking of which, it's time for Master Xie to consider his lifelong affairs. For a man as outstanding as him, with a distinguished family background and young talent, all the young ladies in the capital probably dream of becoming his partner. I wonder who will be his partner in the end?"

Li Jingzhao looked at Cui Rong meaningfully and said, "She must be a daughter of an aristocratic family who is well-matched with her."

Cui Rong's eyes flickered slightly, then she lowered her head, hiding the turmoil in her heart. Without saying anything more, she turned around and slowly left.

The next morning, Manager Zhang arrived as scheduled, directed everyone to properly settle down, and saw Li Jingzhao off as he left the store.

"I'm really sorry to have disturbed Miss Bai during this period."

Li Jingzhao was full of polite words when he left.

His excessive politeness made Cui Rong feel guilty: "If you feel unwell in the future, please send someone to call me. I will go to treat you as soon as possible no matter what time it is."

Li Jingzhao responded with a gentle smile: "Okay, thank you Miss Bai."

Shopkeeper Zhang pushed Li Jingzhao's wheelchair and slowly walked towards the carriage waiting outside. He ordered his followers to carefully lift the wheelchair into the carriage. Then the coachman started the car slowly and gradually disappeared at the end of the street.

Shitou was puzzled: "Mr. Li's body hasn't recovered yet, so why let him go like this? Didn't Miss say that we need some time to observe?"

Cui Rong looked at the carriage moving further and further away and fell silent for a moment.

It is ridiculous to talk about Song Yanyi being unhappy.

However, on this day, she seemed to understand something - as long as Song Yanyi didn't let go, she might never be able to get rid of the entanglement with him in her life.

She lowered her head and used her long eyelashes to hide the loneliness in her eyes so that no one would notice.

"Your Highness, do we have to continue hiding our identities? After all, the Beiliang delegation should be arriving in Yanjing soon."

Li Jingzhao shook his head slightly: "Why not wait a little longer? I have some urgent things to take care of here."

"Your Highness, are you referring to Miss Bai?"

Shopkeeper Zhang looked worried. "Master Xie just came yesterday, and she was eager to get His Highness to move out. It's obvious that she is afraid of him. I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve our goal from her."

"Not really."

Li Jingzhao chuckled, "Song Yanyi treats Miss Bai differently from others. This is a great opportunity, how can we miss it?"

"Your Highness means..."

"Prince Jin once promised that if I could help him ascend the throne, he would return the three cities lost by Beiliang and promise to marry his princess to Beiliang to ensure the eternal alliance between the two countries. Currently, the biggest obstacle for Prince Jin is not Prince Xuan, but Song Yanyi. I told him that with Bai Wei's identity, it would be easier for me to act."

"Your Highness is wise! Although this journey has been full of twists and turns, it was fate that you met this wonderful woman. God is really helping Your Highness!"

Li Jingzhao's eyes shone, and the graceful figure appeared in his mind. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise: "Indeed, God helps me."

Suddenly, a clear and pleasant ringtone broke the silence in the store.

Cui Rongrong looked up and saw a carriage decorated with colorful flowers and in a flamboyant and gorgeous style parked outside the store. There were jingling bells hanging on the four corners, which was particularly eye-catching.

The carriage slowly stopped, and then a graceful woman with a veil covering her face slowly walked out of the carriage. Her charm suddenly brightened people's eyes, like a fairy in a painting.

Cui Rong was so mesmerized for a moment. Her bright eyes, as clear as water, reflected the peerless grace of the top prostitute in Fanhua Tower, as if all the noise around them had quietly faded away.

At the side, Su Yue's delicate voice, like the gentle spring breeze, quietly introduced in her ear: "Miss, this is the famous top girl of 'Fanhualou', Miss Liu Qingru. As her name suggests, she is graceful and talented."

Cui Rongrong seemed to have heard of this name. Her eyes revealed a hint of curiosity and admiration: "I heard that her pipa skills are superb, and every piece of her music is like the sound of nature. It is worth a fortune to hear it."

"Indeed."

Su Yue nodded in agreement, her face filled with excitement. "But behind her glory lies a generous benefactor - Lord Su Yansu. Many of Miss Liu's pipa pieces were composed by Lord Su. Every word was sincere and heartfelt, just to make her smile."

Su Yue changed the subject, her eyes revealing a hint of gossip: "That Lord Su is the one who stood side by side with the eldest son at the banquet in the palace. He was very elegant and attracted the attention of countless ladies."

Cui Rongrong was surprised when she heard this. A strange light flashed in her eyes. She turned her head suddenly and asked, "Is it him?"
