The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 43 - 44 Ye Qichi Wants Money

Ye Qichi was really, truly abandoned by Xiao Jinxing in the desolate wilderness.

Damn your grandpa!

Ye Qichi watched the long-gone carriage and really wanted to strangle that bastard Xiao Jinxing!

She just didn’t get it. Was sleeping with her really that unacceptable to him?!

She didn’t even ask him to take responsibility!

F*ck!

Ye Qichi gritted her teeth, and in the cold night, she walked alone along the road towards Prince Chen’s Mansion.

She didn’t know how many hours she had walked.

Anyway, by the time she returned to Prince Chen’s Mansion, it was already beginning to light up.

That bastard Xiao Jinxing never came back to get her!

Ye Qichi walked towards her own small courtyard.

Lu You was sitting on the threshold of the courtyard waiting for her.

Seeing her return, Lu You’s eyes reddened, "Princess, why are you back so late? I was worried sick about you!"

Ye Qichi was dead tired.

Right now, she didn’t want to say anything.

"Princess, what exactly happened to you?" Lu You asked, seeing her state, with immense concern.

"Prepare some water for me, I want to take a bath," Ye Qichi said with difficulty.

Her voice was hoarse.

"Yes, I’ll go right away," Lu You hurriedly nodded.

Ye Qichi lay in the warm wooden bath.

Initially, she was freezing to death after falling into the water today, and even though she was wrapped in a cloak, her clothes were damp and still cold. Afterwards, she was dumped on the road by Xiao Jinxing, and walking back in the cold wind, she thought she was going to freeze to death on the road.

She took a deep breath, and at this moment, she finally felt alive again.

"Princess, what on earth happened? Your clothes are all wet and your shoe soles are worn through! Did you and the Prince get chased after again?" Lu You asked while helping her wash up.

Ye Qichi didn’t want to reply.

Just thinking about that bastard Xiao Jinxing made her angry.

"The Prince is alright, isn’t he?" Lu You was concerned.

"Don’t ever mention Xiao Jinxing in front of me again," Ye Qichi said through clenched teeth.

"..." So, the two had another quarrel?!

Can’t the Princess think about her own future happiness and hold back her tongue?!

...

Half a month later.

Ye Qichi was living quite comfortably in her small courtyard.

That bastard Xiao Jinxing seemed to have a lot of patience too.

Anyway, so many days had passed, and neither had taken the initiative to seek out the other.

Didn’t Xiao Jinxing want her to treat his disability?!

"Princess," Lu You approached her hesitantly, seemingly with something to say but stopping short.

"What is it?" Ye Qichi fanned herself.

Half a month had passed, and it was already so hot.

"We’ve run out of silver Taels," Lu You finally blurted out after a long while.

Ye Qichi frowned, "Are all the silver Taels given by the steward used up?"

"Yes," Lu You nodded.

"None left at all?"

"Yes."

"How could you manage the money!" Ye Qichi was somewhat angry.

"I said I don’t know how to manage money, it was the Princess who insisted that I do it," Lu You replied, looking very wronged.

"But you should know how much money you have at hand, right?! Now we’re completely broke, what are we supposed to eat or drink?" Ye Qichi was really at her wit’s end with Lu You.

Shouldn’t she have said that we were running out of money earlier?!

Lu You hung her head low, looking incredibly sad.

Ye Qichi pursed her lips.

She sighed, "Never mind, I’ll figure something out."

"What will you do?" Lu You asked.

"What else can I do, ask Xiao Jinxing for it!"

"...Princess, won’t that be very difficult for you?"

"What do you think?" Ye Qichi said irritably.

She had resolved that unless Xiao Jinxing came looking for her first, she would never seek out this man, not even if it killed her!

But now, she actually has to beg him!

No greater tragedy!

"Princess, I am so sorry." Lu You felt even more remorseful.

"Enough." Ye Qichi stood up.

She was never one to dilly-dally. Once she made up her mind, she headed straight to Xiao Jinxing’s Wan Courtyard.

Xiao Jinxing was truly in love with Bai Mowan.

Even the place he lived was named after her.

Ye Qichi walked into the Wan Courtyard.

Little Wu was practicing the sword.

Xiao Jinxing was relaxing under the eaves, with a maid fanning him at his side.

The moment he saw Ye Qichi arriving, his eyes moved slightly, his face indifferent.

"Princess." It was Little Wu who was very respectful, kneeling and saluting.

"Get up." Ye Qichi commanded with composure.

"Thank you, Princess." Little Wu got up.

"Little Wu, your martial arts are so good, when can you teach me?" Ye Qichi took the initiative to chat with Little Wu.

She didn’t focus her attention on Xiao Jinxing. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

"Swords and spears have no eyes; I’m afraid of accidentally injuring the Princess."

"Just learning the basics would be enough, to strengthen the body. This way, in case I inadvertently anger certain people, and they decide to abandon me on a whim. If luck hadn’t been on my side, I would’ve probably died on the road already." Ye Qichi spoke sarcastically.

Little Wu certainly knew whom the Princess was indirectly pointing her remarks at, and he dared not reply in that moment.

Xiao Jinxing’s face visibly darkened a few shades as Ye Qichi mocked him.

Ye Qichi didn’t make it difficult for Little Wu, she went straight towards Xiao Jinxing and looked at him.

Xiao Jinxing frowned tightly, "What is it?"

His tone was quite unpleasant.

"The rewards bestowed by His Majesty on me, why haven’t I seen a single one?" Ye Qichi asked accusingly.

"When did he bestow rewards on you?" Xiao Jinxing sneered, reminding Ye Qichi word for word, "The Emperor said the rewards were to be sent to Prince Chen’s Mansion."

Prince Chen’s Mansion is his.

Therefore, the rewards naturally belong to him.

Ye Qichi clenched her teeth.

She just knew it; this despicable man, Xiao Jinxing, kept all the good things for Bai Mowan.

Everything given to others was the worst of the worst!

Ye Qichi took a deep breath, striving for calm, and said, "The ink painting from His Majesty should be considered a reward for me, shouldn’t it?"

"Little Wu." Xiao Jinxing ordered, "Bring out the painting for the Princess."

"As you command, Prince." Little Wu quickly walked into the hall.

After a moment, he handed the ink painting to Ye Qichi.

Ye Qichi took the ink painting and unfolded it to take a look.

Xiao Zhanping’s brushwork was indeed quite nice.

She muttered, "Wonder how much this painting could sell for?"

Xiao Jinxing’s expression changed immediately.

"An autograph from His Majesty should fetch a good price, right?!"

"Ye Qichi!" Xiao Jinxing became furious.

Little Wu knew it.

The Prince and Princess would definitely start arguing if they talked for more than ten sentences.

"You wouldn’t dare!" Xiao Jinxing threatened.

"What wouldn’t I dare?!" Ye Qichi sneered provocatively.

"Selling off the Emperor’s gift could lead to beheading if pursued!"

"Starving to death is still death; beheading is also death. Might as well, before dying, drag someone down with me—it’s worth it!" Ye Qichi spoke lightly, and deliberately confirmed, "I am your wife now; you’d be implicated too, wouldn’t you?!"

Xiao Jinxing was so angry his whole body trembled.

He believed that Ye Qichi was truly capable of doing such a thing!

"How much money do you want?!" Xiao Jinxing asked through clenched teeth.

Obviously, when Ye Qichi asked him for the rewards, he knew what her real motive was.

"One hundred Silver Taels."

Xiao Jinxing glared at Ye Qichi.

This woman really knew how to ask for the moon!
