Chapter 484: Money is not a thing
Cheng Yan felt the situation of Princess Lingnan was difficult, so he once again sought advice from Yun Xi.

Yun Xi pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Since outsiders think that the princess is no longer alive, let's just make her disappear completely. Do you have any money? We have to find a way to make them leave quietly and change their clothes.

Lord Li and my uncle will certainly search the entire mansion, so we must act as soon as possible."

Cheng Yan was stunned for a moment and said, "Let me send them away?"

Yun Xi sighed softly and said, "When you are alive, you should help others if you can. This doesn't violate any principles, so go ahead."

Cheng Yan felt his sleeve pocket and found that there were still more than thirty taels of silver in it, so he replied, "It should be enough."

"Tell them not to take anything with them. Money is just a thing outside of the body. Life is the most important thing."

Let them escape and find a safe place to hide, and don't attract other people's attention." Jin Ning warned.

Cheng Yan frowned and said, "But the princess is seriously injured. I'm afraid I can't send them away alone."

He recalled the scene when he saw the princess and the girl in yellow. The princess was seriously injured and dying, while the girl in yellow was silently taking care of her.

Although the girl was only fifteen years old, she was extremely calm in the face of such a tragic situation and did not panic like the other girls.

She was even willing to give everything just to help her mother escape.

Cheng Yan was filled with emotion. Instead of asking the girl to pay anything, he decided to take them away with him.

A carriage slowly drove away from the Lingnan Palace. The girl in yellow looked back from the window and never looked back. She lowered her head to take care of her still unconscious mother, her heart filled with confusion and worry about the future.

Cheng Yan and Er Gou sent the mother and daughter to a remote inn in Nanwu Town and rented a room for them to recuperate. They told the mother and daughter that although the room was simple, it was quiet and they would not be disturbed.

"The marshal has ordered that you must not return to Lingnan City after you escape. She let you go privately, and if you are discovered, it will implicate her. After the princess recovers from her injuries, you should immediately find a place to live in seclusion and live a good life." Cheng Yan instructed.

He took out all the silver he had, including Ergou's silver, a total of 55 taels, and handed it to Princess Li Xin. Princess Li Xin was reluctant to accept it, but Cheng Yan insisted that she take it, saying that although the silver was not much, it should be enough for them to live for two years if they lived frugally.

"You can start a small business to make a living. We can only help you up to this point. The future path depends on you." Cheng Yan said.

Princess Li Xin had been wary of people and things after the misfortune she experienced, but now she met such a kind-hearted nobleman who helped her, and she was extremely grateful.

She accepted the silver with tears in her eyes and said that she would never forget the kindness in this life and would definitely repay it in the next life.

Cheng Yan shook his head and said, "There's no need for that. Your mother still needs to see a doctor. Take this money first, and you have to figure out the way forward." After that, he pulled Ergou away.

"What's your benefactor's name?" Princess Li Xin asked crying from behind.

"Cheng Yan." Cheng Yan said without turning his head, "Don't call me benefactor."

The figures of Cheng Yan and Er Gou gradually disappeared into the night, while Princess Li Xin stood at the door of the inn, looking in the direction they left, her heart filled with gratitude and respect.

She knew that she and her mother were able to escape the disaster thanks to this benefactor named Cheng Yan.
