Chapter 1535: A Floating Piece of Duckweed…

It turned out that all the rooms in the Vassal King of An’nan’s Estate had been ransacked, and all the valuables had been hauled back into the royal treasury. Not even a single piece of clothing had been left behind for the master and servant duo at this time.

No wonder she had kept hearing people going in and out last night. They had been digging three feet under in each of the masters’ courts to see if they had buried anything underground.

When Yi’an saw the ravaged room, she uncontrollably wept with her face in her hands.

They had truly gone too far. How was she going to spend the rest of her days?

She, a frail woman who was so used to living in luxury, had to go out and float like a piece of duckweed in the river. What was she going to do!

She couldn’t bear living when she thought of the disturbing future.

Beside her, Xu’er’s eyes flickered, and she hastily dragged Yi’an along toward the side door. “Commandery Princess, we cannot stay here anymore. It is not safe here. There is no guarantee that those people would not run over to conduct another search. At that time there really will be no place for us to run.”

Commandery Princess Yi’an wiped her tears and caught up to Xu’er, wailing, “Xu’er, what will we do in the future without a penny on us.”

“No worries, Commandery Princess. After we pawn our jewelry and clothes, we can probably last for three to four months. At that time, this maidservant will go find a job. Living on will definitely be no problem,” Xu’er said with a loyal and devoted expression.

Yi’an was gratified. She did not expect that Xu’er was actually still willing to stay beside her even when she was in such dire straits.

Xu’er took out a cloth bag from her waist pocket and told Yi’an, “Commandery Princess Yi’an, let us put all our expensive jewelry and ornate fabrics inside. Right, my lady, do you have any valuable magnetite on you? Let me exchange it for mystic currency too. It will make purchasing things simpler in the future.”

“After we exit the Vassal King of An’nan’s Estate, wait for this maidservant, Commandery Princess. After this maidservant goes to exchange these items for mystic currency at the pawn shop, we will then set off.”

Commandery Princess Yi’an nodded. There was simply nothing else she could do now. She undid the pouch of magnetite hanging at her waist and handed it to Xu’er before removing the hairpins, bangles, and other valuable accessories one by one.

Disaster was hanging over her head right now. She could only wait until later on to make more thorough plans.

However, that wound near her navel was still a hidden peril. Why didn’t it heal after so many days?

Commandery Princess Yi’an took a deep breath before sneaking out the back door of the Vassal King of An’nan’s Estate with Xu’er.

Luckily, none of the common people dared to pass by the vicinity of the Vassal King of An’nan’s Estate after this huge incident.

After all, everyone felt insecure. The common people were afraid that they might get arrested as accomplices if they passed by the vassal king’s estate.

Both people removed their extravagant jewelry and purposely dirtied their white middle layer garments. They then snuck toward the pawn shop in their wretched states.

“My lady, wait here for me. I will immediately come out after pawning these items,” Xu’er instructed quietly.

Seeing that there were soldiers patrolling back and forth on the streets, Xu’er worriedly pulled her master into an alley.

She picked up a busted bamboo basket from a corner and slipped it over Commandery Princess Yi’an’s head.

Xu’er had the commandery princess crouch in the corner before exhorting tirelessly with a stern expression, “My lady, you must not come out by all means. I will immediately come back to find you after exchanging the mystic currency! Do not worry, we will probably get twenty thousand mystic currency for these accessories plus those magnetite you gave me. It will be enough for my lady to spend for a period of time.”
