Chapter 2 – Rotten Radishes Have Great Uses
Hua Qingxue was a bit scared for a while.
They were currently in a difficult situation. Not to mention looking for weapons, it was even hard for them to survive…
Li Jingnan saw that Hua Qingxue had an unusual expression. He grabbed Hua Qingxue’s clothes and asked, “What’s with you? Did you think of anything? When I found you, you were on that mountain. What weapons have you seen before? Ah?”
After Li Jingnan rescued and awakened Hua Qingxue, she found that she lost her memory. Even the name Hua Qingxue was given to her by Li Jingnan.
As the snow fell, Li Jingnan said poetically, “The thick frost and snow envy the pure flower. Flowers are only seen when the days become warmer. From now on, your name shall be Hua Qingxue.”
She felt that it was strange. She refused. She thought that she might recover her memory at any time.
Li Jingnan had a fiery temper, and he glared at her, “Impudent! Is there any reason to revoke the name given by this Highness?”
So, the name of Hua Qingxue was decided like this…
Now she was grabbed by Li Jingnan, but also very helpless, “I really don’t know what weapons are in that place. When I regained consciousness, I was already on the mountain. I had lost my way, was cold and hungry, and then I fell into a coma…”
However, every time she heard Li Jingnan say the word “weapon,” her heart would jump as if she had forgotten something… But she didn’t dare to tell Li Jingnan, not to mention that she couldn’t remember anything at all. Even if she did, it would obviously cause trouble to her, so she also didn’t dare to say…
Li Jingnan was disappointed, “Ah, yes. You are a woman, what can you know…”

Hua Qingxue heard it, she couldn’t help but silently criticize in her mind: What about being a woman? You’re still a wimpy kid!
At this time, there was a burst of knocking, Bang! Bang! Bang! on the door outside the courtyard. (1)
The faces of the two people in the house changed a lot. The sound stopped in an instant.
“…Miss Hua?” After the knock on the door, there was a loud voice that came from outside the door. “Miss Hua, I am Rong Sheng from Fengle Pavillion.
Fengle Pavillion?
The two people in the house looked at each other.
Hua Qingxue stood up. “I’ll go look.”
“Open the door after you make sure.” Li Jingnan shrunk his whole body into the quilt and said with great concern.
Outside the door was Rong Sheng, a servant of Fengle Pavillion. He was standing outside with a big bundle wrapped in cloth.
Hua Qingxue was relieved; she knew this servant. She washed clothes for the cook of Fengle Pavillion several times. She met this servant when she went to deliver the washed clothes.
Hua Qingxue quickly opened the courtyard door.
“Is it Miss Hua? Aunt Yan said that last time Miss Hua washed her clothes, they became the same as new ones. She said that all the dirty clothes will be handed over to you in the future. As a matter of fact, I have to deliver them,” Rong Sheng said with a smile. “Aunt Yan also said that after washing clothes in the cold weather, you would have to spend the effort to dry them. Here is an additional 20 yuan. That’s the money to make up for the cost of the charcoal fire.”
In the past few days, it has been raining and snowing constantly. To hand over the washed clothes on time, Hua Qingxue dried every piece of clothing with the stove fire carefully before delivering them. In this way, it wasted quite a lot of charcoal. Initially, she was only doing things on credit, but today she had unexpected gains.
Twenty yuan… To say the least, it was enough to eat meat for two days. She and Li Jingnan haven’t touched meat and fish for the past few days.
Li Jingnan saw Hua Qingxue coming in with a big bag of clothes. His small face couldn’t help but sink. “How is there this much clothing again?”
Hua Qingxue knew that he was still uncomfortable and didn’t mind it. She said with a smile, “My good Highness, it’s good to have clothes to wash. Now we can’t resist shouldering responsibilities. Your money has already been used to rent this courtyard. The only warm cotton-padded clothing has already been pawned out and exchanged into food. Now we can earn some small money without going out. It’s already a blessing.”
