Why do you want money?

It took a while for Shen Li to digest her words. His eyes seemed puzzled as he looked at her carefully. Isn't she the most favorite daughter of General Jiang? Then why was she so poor? Why does she not have a single penny on her? Was the General Mansion lacking in money?

Also, she had been in that forest for so long? Why had nobody come to search for her? Is the General Mansion unaware that their favored second miss had been missing for quite a while?

"Little Li, what are you thinking about?" Amelia asked.

Shen Li shook his head. "Sister Jiang, why do you want money?"

Amelia smiled at him. "To buy some bandages and to fill my stomach with food," she informed.

"Huh?" Shen Li looked confused. His face turned serious, a worrisome look flashed through his eyes and he pulled onto her sleeves. "Sister Jiang, are you hurt somewhere? What's wrong with you?" he asked and scanned her from head to the toe.

Amelia chuckled upon seeing his care and concern for her. This little guy was extremely loveable. "I am fine," she informed and touched his head.

"Then why do you need bandages?" Shen Li arched his brows.

"To create a scene," Amelia smirked.

"Huh? Sister Jiang, what are you going to do?" Shen Li asked.

"Just wait and watch!" Amelia laughed, an evil glint flashed through her eyes as she looked at the deserted street ahead. When Shen Li saw that look in her eyes, he immediately understood that she was going to do something. And, the person who was going to bear the brunt of her attack would be in serious trouble.

He sighed loudly and looked at her.

"Let's go," Amelia said and grabbed his hand.

"Where are we going?"

"Somewhere we can borrow money from rich people," Amelia answered.

"You mean someplace where we can rob people," Shen Li corrected her.

Amelia laughed. "That's one and the same thing, Little Li. Now, c'mon you must be knowing a lot of these places. Take me to one such place."

Shen Li sighed and gave in to her words. Anyways, he didn't know what she was planning but now that she had decided to go and rob people or in her words 'borrow money from rich people, he was going to help her. After all, he had worked with Boss Li a lot. He knew about each and every place, corner, alley, street inside the capital. So, knowing one such place that his Sister Jiang wanted wasn't so difficult for him.

Twenty minutes later.

Amelia and Shen Li were hiding behind a shop. In front of them, was one of the most popular streets inside the capital. Here, all the rich masters and young miss from influential and rich families would often pass by. However, today, the scene was quite different. Amelia and Shen Li were crouching behind the shop with intent to borrow money/rob people; however, no such young master and young miss could be seen on this street.

"Little Li, are you sure that we are going to find someone here?" Amelia questioned with a bored look on her face.

Shen Li frowned. He was also quite puzzled by this. Why were there no people on this street? Every time, he would pass by the corner of this street, he would see a lot of rich masters and young miss hanging out here. "I don't know," he said.

"Let's for a little more while," Amelia shrugged her shoulders carefully. Leaning over the wall of the shop, she closed her eyes to take a small nap. Anyways, she was feeling a lot sleepy. If this was her normal world, then she would be sleeping in her comfy bed at this point in time.

Sigh! If only she could have brought her bed here in this fake world.

Damn Stupid Witch....

"Wake me up when someone arrives," she reminded him.

Shen Li: "................."

Sister Jiang, how can you sleep while standing so upright? What are you? An owl? How can you sleep so much? Didn't you take a wonderful nap back in the Crown Prince's carriage?

With a crying face, he stood guard and began to look for someone's arrival. After waiting for about another ten minutes, he heard a sound. The corner of his mouth twitched when he noticed the city's most famous drunkard walking their way. This man was the son of an official in the court. He was quite rich, good-looking. However, there was only one problem with him. He was a drunkard. He loved drinking wine as if it was his entire life.

Luckily, this rich master was alone. This was a good opportunity for them to rob people.

"Psst.... psst... Sister Jiang, someone is coming...." Shen Li whispered in a low voice.

Amelia didn't wake up.

Shen Li frowned. He turned to look at her sleeping face and he didn't know whether he should be happy or sad. Grabbing her hand, he pulled her hard. "Sister Jiang, if you don't wake up then you won't be able to rob people," he exclaimed.

Immediately, Amelia's eyes flew upon and she woke up. The corners of her lips rose up into a smile and she glanced at the drunken man walking all alone in the street. "How come I will let him go away???"

With that, she broke free of Shen Li's hold and flashed towards the drunken man. In the second, the drunken man was already pinned on the wall and there was a sharp dagger placed on his neck. Though drunk, the young man could still understand what was going on. Immediately, he was about to let out a scream when suddenly, Amelia waved the dagger in her hand. "Don't you dare scream or I'll cut your throat!!!"

The drunken man was scared. His face turned white and he blinked his hazy eyes and looked at Amelia.

Amelia looked back at him.

"Y-you.... you.... woman, how dare you grab this master!!!" The drunken man growled at her yet, Amelia could sniff the hidden fear in his voice.
