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

It's another refreshing morning.

Chu Shiyu still went to court. Yesterday, after repeated persuasion from Xiao Qinhao and Liu Rusi, he agreed to let Liu Rusi leave the palace without his company.

But Liu Rusi chose to forget it! Because he required her to bring at least four maids and eight guards with her when she went out! What kind of street was that group of people strolling around?! It was a parade!

After breakfast, Liu Rusi asked Qin Hao and the girls to continue studying, and she planned to take a walk in the palace to digest the food.

Although Meihong and Caiyun have been studying for four months, they are not smart enough and learning is not something that can be achieved overnight. It will take some time for them to reach Liu Rusi's expectations - mastering basic words, simple arithmetic, and classical Chinese reading comprehension.

"Madam, Chunlan and I will accompany you." Qiuju took the initiative to step forward.

Liu Rusi nodded without objection. She was not familiar with Prince Duan's Mansion, so it would be good to have someone to lead the way. As they walked, she asked casually, "Can you two read?"

"Both of us can read. A few months ago, we first screened out the maids who could read and write, and then selected me and Chunlan from them, and then changed our names." Qiuju said in a light tone, walking behind Liu Rusi.

With a bitter feeling in her heart, Liu Rusi's eyes became a little unfocused as she looked at the scenery along the road. He took so much trouble for her little preference...but what could she give him in return?

She already belongs to Qin Lie, both physically and mentally. Even if... she lets go of her grudges and is willing to accept another person and stay with him, she can't erase Qin Lie from her heart... It can't be pure love, so even if she gives it to him, it's not fair, right?

"Mrs. Liu is here... Aunt Qing! Hurry, hurry back to the courtyard!" A little girl's voice came hurriedly from a distance.

When Liu Rusi looked carefully, she found that it was Su Qing who was relaxing in the garden. She felt ashamed at the look of Su Qing as if she had seen a flood or a beast. Did Chu Shiyu do anything to them?

"Don't panic! I came here on my own initiative. If the prince wants to punish you, just say that I don't want you to be punished for this!"

Su Qing's maid felt a little more relaxed and bowed to Liu Rusi, but still pulled Su Qing to leave.

Su Qing lowered her head and saluted Liu Rusi, then turned around and left with the maid pulling her away.

Seeing her expression, Liu Rusi felt helpless. It was not her intention, but it was indeed caused by her. It was normal for her to be blamed.

Not wanting to get entangled with a few beauties, Liu Rusi changed direction and walked towards the north gate of the palace. After taking a look at the gate, she would go back to Ruliuyuan.

After walking for a while, you can roughly see the majestic gate tower.

Liu Rusi saw two women holding hands on the main road, as if they were about to say goodbye. One of the women had a slender and beautiful figure. She could vaguely recognize her as the beauty she had seen when she first came to the palace.

She hesitated whether to turn around and leave so as not to frighten others.

Then I saw the two women also noticed someone coming, and turned to look at Liu Rusi. Both women had red eyes, but they did not look panicked.

Liu Rusi felt better. After a moment's thought, she walked towards them, smiled friendly and asked, "I'm Liu Rusi, are you Du Ruo?"

Du Ruo was a little nervous and nodded carefully. The two women bowed and saluted.

Liu Rusi suddenly realized that she hated these etiquettes. She quietly divided people into different levels. She asked softly, "I didn't see you yesterday. I saw you carrying a bag... Have you decided to leave Prince Duan's Mansion?"

"Yes! I'll leave right after saying goodbye to Xiao Ya!" Du Ruo was very uneasy. He was about to go out into the world and couldn't afford to encounter any misfortune right before leaving.

"Xiao Ya is your personal maid? It seems like you two have a good relationship?" Liu Rushi watched softly as the two women still held hands.

Seeing that Liu Rusi had no ill intentions, Du Ruo felt relieved. After a little hesitation, he said, "After I leave, can Madam Liu help me take care of the little maid? She is the only maid in Ruyi Courtyard, and I don't know where she will be assigned in the future..."

Liu Rusi looked at the sincerity in Du Ruomei's eyes, then looked at Xiaoya and asked, "If you can follow Du Ruomei, would you be willing?"

The two women widened their eyes, especially Xiaoya, who exclaimed in disbelief: "Yes! But... is it okay?"

"I think... I can ask for you." Liu Rusi knew that if she asked, Chu Shiyu would most likely agree, but Kang Tazhigai's approach didn't seem right...

"That's great! Thank you, Madam Liu!" The two women knelt down together to express their gratitude. In just the past few days, everyone in Prince Duan's Mansion knew how much the prince loved Madam Liu. Not to mention asking for a maid, if he could pick stars, he would probably pick one for Madam Liu!

"Don't kneel!"

Liu Rusi hurried to help him up, but when she saw that it was difficult to help him up, she deliberately said jokingly, "If you don't get up, I won't ask anymore."

This sentence frightened the two women so much that they stood up quickly. Then they reacted and were amused by their own reactions.

"I can only ask you after His Majesty comes back from court. Why don't you wait until the afternoon before leaving?" Liu Rusi suggested.

The two women looked at each other, and Du Ruo said with some embarrassment: "There is... the carriage I hired waiting outside. I will go out first and come back to pick her up later, is that ok?"

Hearing her tone and seeing her expression, Liu Rusi recalled the day when Chu Shiyu mentioned the physical examination and Du Ruo dodged a little...

Liu Rusi's mind was racing. Could it be that Chu Shiyu was cheating on her? !

"Well! Then hurry up and go! Do you have a veil? If you go out wearing a veil, you might get into trouble if someone sees your appearance."

Liu Rusi pushed people out. She was about to have nothing to do with Prince Duan’s Mansion. She must not be discovered. In the Great Xia Dynasty, such a thing would be easy to get her life for.

Du Ruo was inexplicably pushed and pulled to the gatehouse by Liu Rusi.

Immediately, the gate guards stepped forward to block the way.

"Madam Liu! Are you going out? You don't have enough people around you. I will go and notify them now and ask them to help you get more people!"

Chu Shiyu followed the same rules all day, which really made it difficult for the guards. Liu Rusi smiled and said, "I'm not going out. Is there a veil hat at the gate? Give me one...two."

The gatehouse is equipped with all kinds of travel items because they have to meet the master's strange needs from time to time.

Liu Rusi handed the veil hat to Du Ruo and reminded her, "You'd better wear it when you go out in the capital. Give the other one to the driver."

Although he didn't know why Madam Liu had such a strange request, it was a harmless thing, so Du Ruo readily agreed.

Seeing Du Ruo put on her veil, Liu Rusi and Xiao Ya escorted her out the door. The guard at the door tried to stop her, but Liu Rusi turned around and said, "I'm right at the door. I won't go far."

The guards couldn't stop her, so they could only wait nervously on both sides. Fortunately, Liu Rusi just stood on the steps of the gate.

Du Ruo waved to Xiao Ya and Liu Rusi, then turned and walked eastward along the mansion wall.

A simple carriage was waiting a little further away. Du Ruo had not walked a few steps when a man in plain clothes got out of the carriage and came to greet her. The man looked young and strong, but for some reason he walked with a limp.

Du Ruo hurried over and handed the veil to the man while asking with concern. The man obediently put on the veil to cover his dark face.

Liu Rusi blinked her eyes. Although she didn’t have a photographic memory, she still remembered the familiar faces she had seen over the past few months…

Chu Shiyu is really cheating! And he is just as cheating as his father!

The carriage turned south, and Liu Rusi turned around and walked back, saying to the relieved guard at the gate, "I have arranged a pick-up, so I came to the gate to take a look, so don't say anything."

The guards at the gate had a complicated look on their faces. They knew some things better than their masters... The guards said sincerely, "Don't worry, Madam Liu. There are no talkative people in Prince Duan's mansion."

Take Xiao Ya directly back to Ruliuyuan.

Chu Shiyu had just returned from court and was looking for her.

"Did you go to see Du Ruo?" Chu Shiyu wouldn't forget the maid he met last night.

"It was just a coincidence. If you don't believe me, you can ask Chunlan and Qiuju." Liu Rusi said truthfully, and the two maids kept nodding behind her.

Chu Shiyu said somewhat displeasedly: "I didn't say that you can't see them, I just asked a question..."

"Okay, okay..." Liu Rusi said with a smile, "I want to ask Du Ruo if she can take this maid away."

"Next time something like this happens, just ask Manager Lin to get the indenture, no need to ask me." Chu Shiyu didn't really want to care about the maid's affairs.

Chunlan had already cleverly gone out to look for Manager Lin. Liu Rusi suppressed her awkwardness at the sight of her mistress and turned to the overjoyed Xiaoya and said, "Then go back and pack your things first. When you're done, come to me to get your indenture, and wait for Du Ruo to pick you up."

The little girl nodded repeatedly and shouted excitedly: "Thank you, Madam Liu!"

Qiuju went to prepare tea, and for a while they were the only two left in the hall.

Liu Rusi stared at Chu Shiyu for a while, and suddenly said with a teasing smile: "I didn't expect you to be so generous."

The person who could physically punish Chu Shiyu's close guard was naturally Chu Shiyu. Since he was limping at this juncture, it was most likely that he had beaten the man up and then let him go. For such a matter, this kind of punishment was no different from lightly exposing it.

After a moment's pause, Chu Shiyu realized that she knew about Du Ruo and Yi San! Men don't want to be exaggerated in this regard!

He immediately came closer with a gloomy face and whispered through his teeth: "If it were you, I would definitely skin that man alive!"

The sinister words came clearly into her ears. Liu Rusi did not doubt the truth of these words, but she was not afraid at all. She had never considered... other men.

Looking at his pretending to be fierce expression, Ruifeng's eyes were slightly dark. She smiled and asked, "Didn't you sleep well last night?"

His deliberate threats suddenly froze. Her meticulous care always made his heart flutter. He threatened with a lack of momentum: "Lock you up again!"

"You talk as if I'm yours." Liu Rusi smiled calmly.

Chu Shiyu began to feel aggrieved again, and said stiffly: "Even if you are not mine, you will never belong to anyone else!"

Liu Rusi lowered her head and chuckled twice, then raised her head and smiled, "Go to sleep for a while, don't force yourself."

His mood instantly became peaceful and soft again, and his emotions were completely controlled by her... Chu Shiyu suppressed the corners of his mouth that were about to rise, and asked softly: "Aren't you going out for a walk?"

"Isn't there a feast for the princess in the afternoon at 3 p.m.?" Liu Rusi glanced at the sundial in the front yard, stood up and said, "It's just noon now, go sleep for an hour, and then get up to have lunch."

"What about you?" Chu Shiyu also stood up and walked towards the main courtyard.

Liu Rusi walked towards her room and said calmly, "I'll be in the yard, reading some medical books."

When she was about to open the door, a big hand grabbed her and pulled her. The breath was like a bamboo forest after the rain, enveloping her!

The cool and soft feeling was imprinted on the unpainted red lips. After taking a gentle sip, they separated reluctantly.

Before Liu Rusi knew how to react, Chu Shiyu let go and walked into his room, saying, "I can sleep better~"

Is there a sleeping pill in my mouth?! Liu Rusi snorted and went back to the house to get the medical book...
