Priceless: A widow with a baby asks the prince to marry again

Liu Rusi couldn't accept it! She won 10 million! She was hit and killed by a dump truck on the way to claim the prize!

The pain in her neck couldn't dispel her anger at this moment!

Damn it!

Her life was so tragic. Her parents divorced when she was ten and no one wanted her, so she was thrown into a boarding school. She did not give up, but worked hard to study. Although she was not very talented, she worked hard to get into a first-class university and studied medicine.

Before her death, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday during her junior year. Liu Rusi was working part-time to support herself with her studies. Her bored boss gave her two lottery tickets and said they were Mid-Autumn Festival gifts. She didn’t care much about it at first. It was not until her colleague reminded her of the lottery the next day that she casually checked...

Liu Rusi roared silently: It would be better not to win! If I don't win, I'll just die. There's nothing to look forward to in a dull life! But now... that's 10 million!

"Bang!" The wooden door was suddenly pushed open, and Liu Rusi, in grief, subconsciously looked over.

"Xiao Cui, please leave quickly..." A middle-aged man dressed in coarse ancient costume came in hurriedly. When he saw her lying on the ground, he immediately showed a look of pity on his face.

Only then did Liu Rusi come out of her grief. She found herself in a woodshed, lying in a pile of collapsed firewood. Her neck was in pain and a piece of rag was hanging on it... It was like a scene of a failed attempt to hang herself.

The man in rough cloth pulled Liu Rusi up from the ground. "My brother committed a sin! Xiao Cui, it's better to live a miserable life than to die! Run to the mountain and hide first! I'll think of a way for you from behind!"

As the man anxiously led her out the door, some fragmented memories flooded into Liu Rusi's mind. She was now Liu Cui, just turned thirteen years old, and the man in front of her was her uncle named Liu Ronggui.

Liu Cui's father is a gambler. He loses nine times out of ten. Being in debt is a normal thing for a gambler. This is the second time he wants to sell Liu Cui to pay off his debts. The first time, her uncle gave her money to pay off the debt and saved her.

“Ronggui!” A rather stout woman came running over, shouting angrily, “This is your brother’s daughter, not your daughter! Every time you save him, he sells him off! How can we still live like this?”

"Don't worry, wife. I will let Xiao Cui run away this time, and I will definitely not give her money..." Liu Ronggui explained with an embarrassed look on his face. He pushed Liu Rusi with his hand and whispered, "Run to the east mountain. There is a cave a little further up from Qin's Tomb halfway up the mountain. Uncle will bring you food tonight!"

Liu Rusi's mind was still a little confused, but she knew with her toes that her scumbag father would definitely not sell her to a good place, so she had to run away first!

Relying on vague memories, she ran past several earthen houses and around a pond. Liu Rusi vaguely heard shouting in the distance behind her. She hurriedly turned her head and vaguely saw her rebirth point - there were many figures in front of the woodshed, and they began to run towards her.

Liu Rusi immediately realized that her escape route had been discovered! She immediately ran even faster!

Rushing into the mountain forest path and making a sharp turn, Liu Rusi's eyes went dark and she bumped headfirst into a hard and elastic "wall"!

Liu Rusi was about to fall backwards, and a thought flashed through her mind: this mountain road was steep and full of rocks. Would she die again just after her rebirth? She didn't know if she could go back and get the 10 million...

A rough and powerful hand pulled Liu Rusi back from her fantasies, and a strong arm held her in place.

"Did I hurt you?" A deep male voice came from the front of her head. Liu Rusi looked up and saw a handsome and recognizable face.

He is handsome because he has thick eyebrows, big eyes, a straight nose, and a sharp outline. He is recognizable because there are three claw marks on his left face, the longest of which runs from the peak of his eyebrows down to the corner of his eyes and to his jaw...

Memories emerged in Liu Rusi's mind. This man was called Qin Lie. He was a hunter and a well-known unlucky person in Dongshan Village. He lost his mother when he was born. When he was six years old, his father went to the army and never returned. When he was thirteen years old, his grandfather was seriously injured by a bear while cutting wood and died. Last year, when he was fifteen years old, his grandmother who raised him also died of illness.

In fact, Liu Cui had never seen Qin Lie. He was a loner and seldom interacted with the villagers. The little memory about him that could leave an impression on people was due to the scar on his face, because the villagers called him Scarface.

Seizing the quick flash of inspiration in her mind, Liu Rusi looked directly at Qin Lie and asked quickly, "Will you marry me?"

Qin Lie's eyes suddenly widened, and his stunned look revealed the youthfulness beneath his ferocious appearance. "Ah?"

"My father wants to sell me to a brothel, but I don't want to go! Before marriage, a woman must obey her father, and after marriage, she must obey her husband. If you marry me, my father won't be able to sell me anymore!" Liu Rusi pleaded, trying her best to look pitiful.

As a modern woman, Liu Rusi certainly does not approve of the Three Obediences and Four Virtues and other dross, but after sorting out her memories, she realized that this was a feudal society with a different history but similar customs, and that this society was run according to these dross.

Because she had to obey her father before she got married, her scumbag father had the power to sell her at any time. Although most people would despise it, it was not illegal and no one else could interfere.

Liu Rusi analyzed the current situation. Her scumbag father and those people had already discovered that she had run to the mountain, and she would most likely be found. It would be the best if her scumbag father sold her to a rich man as a maid, but the most likely possibility was that he would sell her to a brothel, because the price of selling her to a brothel would be higher.

Qin Lie is a hunter, and marrying him can temporarily help her deal with the predicament. If she wants to escape in the future, it should be easy to escape when he goes up the mountain to hunt.

Seeing Qin Lie remained silent for a long time, Liu Rusi rolled her eyes and began to persuade him: "If you don't want to, you can get married and then divorce. I swear that I will repay you in the future..."

"I am willing."

After Qin Lie came back to his senses, he answered affirmatively, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and the look in his eyes as he looked at her was clear and warm, like a pleasant hot spring in the mountains.

Liu Rusi was stunned for a moment. She carefully observed Qin Lie's expression and asked hesitantly: "Have you... seen me?"

"I have no impression." Apart from the scar on Qin Lie's face, the only thing that could be seen was honesty.

"Then why did you agree?" Liu Rusi couldn't help but wonder.

Qin Lie's face showed a trace of youthful embarrassment. If Liu Rusi hadn't been too close, she wouldn't have been able to hear his low voice.

"You look great."

Liu Rusi was suddenly praised. She didn't know what this body looked like, but she was often praised in her previous life and she already had a standard answer for this.

"you also…"

Qin Lie tilted his head slightly to the left.

Liu Rusi realized that he minded her scar, so she lowered her head and looked at the solid chest in front of her and said sincerely, "You have a very good figure."

If Qin Lie's face is rated 7 points - she doesn't think the scar is ugly, his figure can be rated 9 points, with broad shoulders, narrow waist and long legs, and the remaining 1 point can only be given after seeing his abdominal muscles.

The little girl was wearing a patched coarse cloth dress, her hair was disheveled but it couldn't hide her beautiful features. Her bright eyes were now examining his chest and abdomen, her gaze burning until Qin Lie's ears turned red.

"Found it! The girl is here!"

Three men holding sticks broke the spring in the mountains and forests, while the scumbag father ran in front, panting and leading the way.

Liu Rusi immediately hid behind Qin Lie, pulling at the collar of his shirt on the back with both hands, and peeking out from between his arms. There was no sign that they had just met.

Qin Lie was tall and strong, and the scar on his left face made him look fierce. The three men stopped a few feet away at the same time.

At the glances of the three men, the scumbag father pretended to be friendly and said, "Scarface...ah no, little brother Qin Lie, please move aside. Xiao Cui! Come here quickly, these gentlemen are anxious to pick you up."

Qin Lie didn't move at all, he just narrowed his eyes slightly, looking even more ferocious, and the atmosphere was a little tense for a moment.

Before Qin Lie could think of what to say, Liu Rusi, who was hiding behind him, shouted, "Qin Lie is my husband now. If you want to pick me up, you have to ask him first!"

Qin Lie's ears turned red again, and he kept a serious expression on his face and agreed: "Ask me first."

The three men immediately glared at the scumbag dad and asked, "Are you kidding us?"

"No, no! You are talking nonsense, little girl! I haven't promised her to Scarface. We don't even have a marriage certificate, so how can it count?" the scumbag father explained hurriedly.

Hearing this, Liu Rusi was a little flustered. Although her father was a scumbag, his logic was quite clear. In the Great Xia Dynasty, marriage required the consent of parents and the words of matchmakers. How could we be sure of these? It was reflected in the marriage certificate. The marriage certificate of a wealthy family was divided into an engagement letter, a gift letter, and a welcoming letter. For a small family, the elders of both parties wrote a marriage certificate, and the matchmaker signed and stamped it as a witness. Then the marriage certificates were exchanged, indicating that the marriage was valid.

And now that they don’t have a marriage certificate, it means that the ownership of Liu Cui still belongs to the scumbag father, and the scumbag father has the right to dispose of her at will!

"Brother, please move aside without a marriage certificate. If you force this girl to stay, her father will sue you for abducting a woman." A man with yellow teeth smiled sarcastically and walked forward, reaching out to pull Liu Rusi out.

Qin Lie frowned, he didn't know what to do, but when Huang Ya reached out to him, he subconsciously drew the hatchet from his waist.

Huang Ya quickly withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted and stepped back several steps. When he came to his senses, he immediately waved his stick in anger and shouted, "You dare to try it!"

The scumbag father quickly stopped Huang Ya from striking him, and smiled at Qin Lie and advised: "Brother Qin Lie, if you want to get married, I will ask a matchmaker to introduce one to you later. Find a down-to-earth and capable woman, and the betrothal gift will only be one or two taels. Someone like my Xiao Cui is not suitable for working for a living."

Qin Lie frowned and seriously retorted: "I don't need her to work..."

Liu Rusi pulled Qin Lie's clothes to interrupt him. She found out that this guy was a fool! The scumbag father was beating around the bush to say that he couldn't afford to marry her!

After all, isn't it just to exchange her for money?

Liu Rusi climbed on Qin Lie's back on tiptoe, but her mouth still couldn't get close to his ear. Her breath only sprinkled on his neck, making him feel numb all over. She asked quietly: "Can you give me five taels of silver?"

"Yes." Qin Lie said in a low voice.

Liu Rusi began to make up stories: "Dad! I can weave and grow vegetables, and I can work and make a living! I'll ask Brother Lie to give you two taels of betrothal gifts! Please help us! We have already decided to spend our lives together and have done the things that husband and wife do!"

One stone caused a thousand ripples, and everyone present was shocked!

Qin Lie's face suddenly turned red, and he turned around in shock to stare at the little girl behind him.

Huang Ya kicked his scumbag father and angrily yelled, "You can't even take care of your own daughter! How can you sell her if she's already deflowered? Give me back the twenty taels!"

"No! Absolutely not! The girl is lying! Find a midwife to check her pregnancy and you'll know!" The scumbag father hurriedly defended himself.

Qin Lie frowned again when he heard that, and reached for the bag on his shoulder, but was grabbed by Liu Rusi and pushed back.

The little girl continued with her clear voice, "I'm not lying! Dad went to the city ten days ago and hasn't been home for two days. There wasn't enough firewood at home, so I had to come to the mountain to collect firewood by myself... It was very painful at first, and I even bled! But later on, it felt very comfortable..."

Huang Ya, who was considering taking Liu Cui for a physical examination, became furious. How could an innocent girl know all this?

"Give me back my money!" Huang Ya raised his leg and kicked his scumbag father to the ground again, then reached out and grabbed the lapel where he had put the silver.

The scumbag father tightly grasped his clothes and begged, "Master! Please take Xiao Cui in. Look at her beautiful appearance. There must be someone who wants her!"

Huang Ya glanced behind Qin Lie when he heard the words. Liu Rusi immediately retracted the half of her face that was secretly watching, but Huang Ya had already seen Liu Cui.

This little girl is already good-looking now. As a human, Huang Ya is very confident in his own judgment. He is sure that Liu Cui will become even more beautiful after she grows up in two years...

"The most valuable thing you've ever seen in a brothel is that night. I'm still willing to take you in, but I'll have to discount it to ten taels! Don't bargain with me, or I'll leave and you won't get a penny!"

The scumbag dad's face turned red and white. For him, ten taels of silver was too little and could not fully cover his gambling debts. He would need to sell some of his belongings to pay it off.

In fact, ten taels of silver is already a huge sum of money for ordinary people. In the Great Xia Dynasty, it is enough for a family of three to have enough food and clothing for a year!

So Liu Rusi felt that her worth could be lowered further, so that she would have less pressure to repay the money in the future.

"I am already Brother Lie's woman! I will not marry anyone else in this life! If you insist on selling me to someone else, I will...slash my face! You won't be able to sell it even for a tael of silver!" Liu Rusi howled while trying to grab the hatchet in Qin Lie's hand.

Qin Lie quickly raised the hatchet high up. Liu Rusi only had time to reach his sleeves. As he raised his arms, she pulled his sleeves up to his elbows, revealing his powerful arms.

Without waiting for Liu Rusi to argue any further, Qin Lie said in a loud voice, "I'll pay ten taels."
