Chapter 100: Contributing to It
Liang Yuying gave a slight smirk: "I thank him for looking down on me."
Li Shuchen put his hands on his hips: "He looks down on me too. Do you think I'm someone who can be so easily bought with money? A gentleman loves money, but he earns it honestly. I will never take ill-gotten gains."
He then assured Liang Yuying, "Don't worry, I would never betray you for money, no, I wouldn't betray you for anything else either."
Liang Yuying: "I believe you"
After saying that, she smiled at Li Shuchen, her eyes full of doting affection, but in her heart, she was preparing for the worst. Even if you choose what you want, I won't blame you. After all, you've already given me so much; I can't repay you enough.
Li Shuchen went to the side to get his purse: "Hmm, Wanbai is coming of age soon, I'm going out to buy a carriage."
Liang Yuying: "I'll go with you."
Li Shuchen replied, "You were exhausted yesterday, so you should rest well today."
Liang Yuying smiled and said, "Wanbai is clinging tightly to Hongying; it probably doesn't want to go with you. You can't possibly ride two horses there, can you?"
Li Shuchen thought for a moment and said, "It's not impossible for me to ride the Red Shadow around Wanbai."
Liang Yuying smiled helplessly: "Be careful."
Li Shuchen: "Okay."
Hurry to the backyard, Li Wanbai was still sleeping.
Li Shuchen picked up the small leather whip and walked straight towards Li Wanbai, muttering, "Sleep, sleep, all you do is sleep. The sun's already shining on your horse face."
Seeing that Li Shuchen's visit was hostile, Hongying quickly touched Wanbai and kicked it several times before waking it up.
Li Wanbai opened its eyes, still blaming Hongying for waking it up, but when it saw Li Shuchen approaching menacingly with a whip in hand, it immediately cowered and quickly stood up on all fours.
Li Shuchen stopped in front of it, not hitting it, but actually just wanting to scare it a little so it would behave better later.
Li Shuchen flipped over and mounted the red shadow, saying to Wan Bai...
"I'm taking Hongying shopping. Are you coming? Let me know if you are."
Upon hearing this, Li Wanbai thought, "If Hongying goes to play, I want to go too!"
He said ingratiatingly to Li Shuchen, "Hey."
Li Shuchen, holding Li Wanbai's reins, rode Red Shadow onto the street. The two horses and one person were quite leisurely.
Perhaps because Li Shuchen had never walked it before, Li Wanbai was quite obedient on the way.
It was curious about everything, looking here and there, but its hooves never stopped.
As they approached the Lima Bookstore, Wanbai reacted as if she'd been shot, pulling the rope back with all her might, almost causing Li Shuchen to lose his grip.
Seeing that Wanbai was about to break free, Li Shuchen rolled over and said to the red shadow.
"Red Shadow, stay here quietly and don't move."
Li Shuchen strode over to Li Wanbai's side and said, "You've raised a horse for a thousand days, but you only need it for one. Why are you running away? If you run again, I'll beat you up!"
He then showed off the small leather whip in his hand.
To everyone's surprise, Li Wanbai wasn't afraid at all. She still pulled the horse's neck and backed away, forcing Li Shuchen to take several steps with her.
Hongying couldn't stand it any longer and walked up to Li Wanbai, muttering a few words to her.
Li Wanbai actually obeyed and went into the Lima Bookstore.
Li Shuchen was quite surprised by what Hongying said.
She couldn't understand horse language and didn't know what Hongying had just said to it, otherwise she would definitely have learned it from Hongying.
Li Shuchen kept remarking that Yu Ying was not only a very reliable person, but also her horse was very reliable.
Li Shuchen went inside and picked out a bright red saddle for Li Wanbai; it was festive and auspicious, which she liked.
They bought another luxury carriage, made of mahogany. Although it wasn't as big as Princess Changning's, it was still quite nice; she could easily fit in it all by herself.
If she acquires something nice in the future, and then carefully decorates it, she will surely feel extremely comfortable.
When Li Shuchen was putting the carriage on Li Wanbai, it swayed from side to side, and even after it was put on, it kept moving around and wouldn't stay still.
The red figure kept nudging towards Li Shuchen's hands.
Li Shuchen asked in confusion, "Hongying, do you want to wear one too?"
The red figure nodded.
Li Shuchen put the red protective suit on Wan Bai, and Wan Bai stopped moving around and even rubbed against the red protective suit affectionately.
Looking at them standing side by side, and then at Wanbai's smug smile, Li Shuchen suddenly understood.
So, by getting Red Shadow to do the work, it can cheat and shirk its duties, is that it?
Okay, Li Wanbai, you just wait. Next time, I'll definitely make you pull it yourself.
And so, Li Shuchen successfully drove the carriage back to the inn.
After parking, I couldn't wait to go upstairs, intending to tell Liang Yuying what I had seen and heard.
As soon as the door opened, Princess Changning was seen.
Li Shuchen teased, "Changning, you've only been gone one night and you already miss me? A young lady like you shouldn't be so reserved."
As he spoke, he even gently touched Princess Changning's chin.
Princess Changning said coquettishly, "You're so annoying!"
A girl next to me giggled.
Li Shuchen went to investigate upon hearing the sound, and found a sweet and lovely little girl shyly covering her lips with a handkerchief and laughing.
Liang Yuying said with a slightly serious tone, "Shu Chen, be serious."
Li Shuchen gave an awkward smile and recognized who the little girl was.
Princess Jiahe
Princess Jiahe stopped smiling and bowed respectfully, saying, "Greetings, Miss Li."
Li Shuchen quickly replied, for this was a great contributor to the Purple Star Dynasty, and she dared not accept such a courtesy: "Princess Jiahe, you flatter me greatly, please have a seat."
Li Shuchen also sat down at the octagonal table and became serious: "Changning, weren't you going to take Princess Jiahe out to play? Why are you here with me?"
Princess Changning ate a piece of watermelon and said, "After thinking it over, I think your place is the most interesting and safest. So I'm thinking of having Princess Jiahe stay here for a few days. Please make the arrangements."
Princess Jiahe asked softly, "Have I disturbed Miss Li? If it's inconvenient for Miss Li, then..."
Li Shuchen quickly replied, "That's convenient, that's convenient. There's one 'Rising Sun' room left in the 'Top Tier' category, perfect for Princess Jiahe."
Seeing that Princess Jiahe hadn't started eating the fruit, Li Shuchen pushed the fruit plate further towards her.
Li Shuchen: "Princess Jiahe, try the fruit I grew myself; it's sweet and fragrant."
Princess Jiahe: "Thank you."
After saying that, he simply picked up a grape and ate it in small bites.
Li Shuchen looked at Princess Jiahe, still a little reserved. But normally, aren't princesses usually very lively?
She's different; she's cautious in everything she does, afraid of not doing well and being disliked.
Wanting to ease Princess Jiahe's tension, Li Shuchen said, "Let me tell you something interesting?"
Princess Changning's eyes lit up, and she eagerly asked, "What interesting thing happened?"
Li Shuchen: "I have a horse named Wanbai, and it just turned 18. I took it to Limin Horse Market to buy a carriage, but when we got to the door, it refused to go in no matter what I did. I tried to persuade it for a long time, but it was no use. Guess how it finally got in?"
Princess Changning: "How did you get in?"
Li Shuchen: "The red shadow lured it inside."
Princess Changning: "Isn't Hongying Yuying's horse?"
Li Shuchen: "It's Yuying's horse."
Princess Jiahe asked softly, "How do you coax a horse?"
Liang Yuying and Princess Changning also wanted to know about this.
Li Shuchen smiled mysteriously: "Work for it."
Then she added, "My Wanbai is lazy. It always dawdles when it comes to doing chores. It took a lot of effort to harness Wanbai to the carriage, and even after it was harnessed, it moved around unwillingly and just wouldn't move out."
Guess how it finally behaved itself?
