1693 Marry Another Woman

The three little beggars ran forward without even waiting for her to ask and happily picked up the pheasants.

They looked at the bloody birds and began drooling. Their eyes lit up. “We can have poultry today.”

Ji’er felt a little sorry for them.

However, when she looked at the pheasants she hunted, she could not help but reminisce.

When her father used to have free time, he would bring her mother and all three siblings along to the Cool Mountains to hunt.

Now that she was reliving the memory, she realized her father had taught her many things.

The memory of her father made her tear up slightly.

If only she had not found out what happened before. She could have continued respecting him her entire life.

However…

She blinked away the tears from her eyes quickly.

Ji’er did not want the little beggars to see her acting unusually. She turned and instructed, “Clean those pheasants and make a fire. Make sure to grill them until they’re dry so that we can bring some on the road.”

The three little beggars were overjoyed to hear those words.

Did this mean that the young master was allowing them to follow him now?

Even though the young master did not chase them off, they still felt a little cautious and were worried that he would tell them to go away.

If the young master forbade them to stay, they would no longer have the courage to follow him.

Hearing what he said made them feel greatly relieved.

To them, Ji’er was a very powerful person. People tend to admire the strong and they were no exception. That was why they idolized Ji’er and were willing to follow and serve her.

This was supposed to be a lone journey, but Ji’er suddenly had three people tailing her, which she was initially not used to. However, after a few days with them, she found that they were not chatty people and she did not find them annoying. She had gotten used to them following her around.

Her loneliness felt reduced with their company.

After a few days of hiking through several mountains, the four of them finally arrived at a small town.

Their appearances attracted a lot of people the moment they arrived.

The little beggars alone were already quite the sight. They were dressed in rags. Even though their hair and faces were not terribly dirty or messy, they gave off that sort of vibe.

As for Ji’er, she had not taken a bath for many days. In addition to that, she had spent many days walking through the mountains. Her clothes were slightly torn by now. Even though her condition was not as bad as the three little beggars, she was not looking too great either.

When she walked into the clothing store and looked at herself in the mirror, she could not help laughing out loud.

Ji’er looked exactly like a beggar now. She looked nothing like a princess.

A moment later, the laughter on her face suddenly subsided.

She was just an unwanted child.

Ji’er was sure that everyone would eventually forget her after this and would no longer remember that there was once a princess named Ji’er.

Would Lil Qi also forget about her and marry another woman?

She shut her eyes, forcing herself not to think about this any further.

Everything and everyone from the past no longer had anything to do with her.

The others would still be able to live a good life without her.

She bought the three little beggars each a set of clothes, but bought nothing for herself.

The little beggars jumped with joy when they put on the new clothes.

Ji’er smiled at the sight of how happy and satisfied they were.

Sometimes, she wondered that if she were in their shoes instead, she might have not minded her father’s attempt to kill her back then.

Who would pay mind to such an insignificant thing when getting food to fill your stomach was already a problem? After all, she had already grown up safely.

Ji’er had to convince herself not to think so much about it, but she could not help herself.

That was why she had given up on herself and decided to leave everything behind.

She found an inn after that and got only two rooms as she did not have much money left.

Ji’er took one room while the three little beggars took the other.
