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

In the end, he still failed to convince Liu Rusi. He really couldn't bear to see her crying in front of him, and his amnesia also tied his hands and feet.

Standing beside the ox cart, little Qin Hao looked at him with reluctance, and he rubbed little Qin Hao's head, thinking: What's the point of you looking at me, go and beg your mother for me!

At this time, Liu Rusi came out of the house with a bundle. Little Qin Hao quickly ran up to her and pulled her sleeve and shook her, pleading in his childish voice, "Mom, can uncle not leave?"

This guy really can read minds! But he is good at it!

He also looked at Liu Rusi with a pleading look, hoping that she would let him stay for the sake of her son.

"Uncle's family and friends will miss him. He should go find his family and can't stay here forever. Everyone has joys and sorrows, and Haohao should also understand that people will always be separated." Liu Rusi hugged little Qin Hao in her arms and comforted him.

What family would miss him? They just wish he was dead! But he has lost his memory, so he can't say anything...

"Xiao Cui, do you mean that Qin Lie...Qin Yi has been away for a long time?" Liu Ronggui, who was driving the ox, frowned immediately. Is this niece-in-law going to look for his father who is serving in the military? If he hasn't come back for so many years, doesn't that mean he is dead?

He placed his hope on Liu Ronggui again, "Uncle, can you do it?"

These relatives and friends were convinced that he was Qin Lie. They tried to persuade him many times but it was all in vain. Now that he was leaving, Liu Rusi no longer argued with her uncle. She just smiled and said, "He is well-read and must be a man of great talent. He should not waste his time in this small Dongshan Village."

"That's true." Liu Ronggui also learned after Liu Cui married Qin Lie that Qin Lie also wanted to take the imperial examination before, but unfortunately those with scars on their faces could not serve as officials in the court, so they could not take the imperial examination. Qin Lie had an encounter with a bear at the age of thirteen, and the scar on his face ruined his future. Now that he has a flawless appearance, he can indeed try again.

So Liu Ronggui turned around and looked at him earnestly and said: "After you become successful, don't forget your roots!"

He has already achieved success! Now he wants to hold on to this "book"! But he has "lost his memory" and can't say...

The old and the young were all defeated, and he could only watch Liu Rusi walk up to him and hand him the bag. "You forgot to pack your things."

He didn't pack at all, thinking that there was no chance of improvement and he could stay. He was resisting the idea of ​​leaving in every aspect...

He refused to take it, and Liu Rusi kept holding the bag with a gentle but unyielding attitude on her face. After staring at each other for a long time, he knew that he really couldn't stay.

He took the bundle and took out the jade crown and ring from it. Although these did not have the power to command, they were rare treasures. Leaving them might bring them trouble. There was only the purse and the torn clothes he wore when he came in the bundle. He handed the bundle back.

"Keep these. It's not much, but it can save you a few days of hard work." He thought that banknotes were fragile and could not withstand water or fire, and since he didn't need to spend his own money, he only took some small change for rewards... He hoped that she would do less rough work while he was gone.

Liu Rusi didn't take it, but just smiled and said, "You have lost your memory, and you don't know when you can find a place to go back to. You have to keep your money with you."

"I..." If he really had lost his memory, then this would be true, but he wasn't! But can he say this?

I had been trying to make her believe that I was Qin Lie, and that he had lost his memory and forgotten who he was, so those words and actions could barely be excused. If I let her know that I had never lost my memory, I had been lying to her...

He took out the purse from his bag angrily and stuffed the remaining rags into Liu Rusi's arms.

"Clothes can't be worn if they're torn. If you don't want to see them, just burn them!" After saying that, he turned around and sat on the ox cart, never looking back at her.

Liu Rusi smiled faintly, her eyes moved from his clothes to his profile, and she said in a clear voice: "I wish you peace and happiness, and a healthy life."

Little Qin Hao also waved and said, "Uncle Qin Yi, have a safe journey! When you regain your memory, tell me your name!"

The oxcart was moving slowly...

The farmyard was getting farther and farther away, and the pond gradually disappeared...

The ox pulling the cart is strong but gentle. It has been pulling the cart on this road out of the mountain for many years. It remembers every bend and every fork. Liu Ronggui doesn't even need to drive it, as it knows how to go.

This cow actually belongs to the Qin family, but except for being taken back for breeding, it has been kept at Liu Ronggui's home. As long as it is not busy with farming, Liu Ronggui will drive the cow out of Dongshan Village every day or every two days. In addition to helping Liu Rusi deliver chicken and duck eggs to the city, he also buys and sells for the villagers, and takes people to the city and back to the village. Now it is also a livelihood for his family.

However, when the land is needed for farming, Liu Ronggui will still give the rent of the cow to Liu Rusi. His niece had a hard life before marrying Qin Lie, and she had a hard life again after Qin Lie died...

"Qin...Yi, do you see that road on the left side against the mountain?" Liu Ronggui pointed to a deserted road that was a little higher in the distance. Next to the road was a steep hillside, or it could be called a stone cliff.

"You had an accident here more than a year ago... Alas, you didn't see what Xiao Cui looked like that day. If it weren't for Qin Hao, I'm really afraid that she would have followed you..."

He stared at the road, unable to tell what he felt in his heart, heartache? Or jealousy? He just felt very uncomfortable.

"After you left, I was very scared. I thought, I have a family of my own, and Xiaocui and her son also need help. I can't rely on my useless elder brother, and I can't let anything happen to me. So I spent a lot of time looking for a new way, and I feel at ease even if I have to walk a little more every time."

Dongshan Village is named Dongshan, but it is actually a village on the mountain east of Jinyan City. It was only after riding in a ox cart all the way that he understood why he had been missing for more than ten days without being found by his men. It was because it was too remote.

First, there is a small path among the wild grass and thorns trampled by ox carts, and then there is the country road where many villages converge. Here, the path is not at all noticeable compared to the roads leading to other villages. Perhaps it is difficult for people passing by to realize that this is a road.

We walked along many branching country roads and finally reached the official road into the city. It took us more than an hour and nearly twenty miles to see the city wall of Jinyan City.

As soon as he arrived at the city gate, someone's eyes lit up when he saw him. He immediately gave him a dissuading look and told him not to come forward.

We followed the ox cart into the city for a while and arrived at a busy area in the city.

"Uncle, just send me here. I want to go and get some news. When you are done with your work, go back early. I... will return home in glory." After he got off the ox cart, he bowed to his uncle as a farewell.

The people who followed him stared at each other in bewilderment. Is this their Prince Duan?! He was so kind and even bowed to a farmer? Was he possessed by another spirit?

When Liu Ronggui disappeared pulling the ox cart, all the warmth on that man's face instantly disappeared, and the coarse cloth and wooden crown could not hide his cold majesty.

More than a dozen young men breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Fortunately, it was their Prince Duan.

"General."

"Your Majesty."

"master!"

He narrowed his eyes slightly, no one knew what he was thinking, but no one dared to disturb him.

After a while, he came to his senses and said, "Let's find a place to stay first, and don't spread the news of my return."

"Yes!" they responded in unison.

It rained a lot in the beginning of summer, and the crops in the fields were growing well, but many washed clothes were difficult to hang out to dry.

Liu Rusi was glad that she had foresight. As soon as the people left, she took advantage of the sunshine to immediately wash and dry all the clothes and quilts, and they were completely dry yesterday.

Now that it's raining outside, she can fold up the clothes that are temporarily piled on the bed. The time is clearly arranged.

After folding Qin Lie's clothes one by one and putting them back into his closet, the last thing he touched was the soft and delicate silk corners...

She washed the clothes the day after she admitted Qin Yi, but the clothes were too delicate and she didn't know how to sew them.

Although he asked her to burn it when he left, she couldn't really do it. In this era of material scarcity, a tattered cotton jacket could be taken to a pawnshop for a few copper coins, and such a gorgeous dress could be sold for a lot of money even if it was torn into pieces and sold.

But she would not really sell it. Her family needed money, but making this kind of money would make her feel ashamed. Especially since she had children at home, she did not want Qin Hao to think that he could belittle himself because of external things.

It would be a pity to burn it, but it would be inappropriate to sell it, so it could only be kept here... Liu Rusi thought about it and found a corner in Qin Lie's closet to put the gorgeous dress away.

"Mom...Haohao wants to sleep with you tonight!" Little Qinhao was just acting coquettishly when he called himself Haohao, and at this moment, his whole little body stuck to her and twisted hard.

"Don't do it again, but never for the third time. Have you heard of this, Hao Hao? I've already given you two nights. You must sleep by yourself tonight." Liu Rusi deliberately put on a serious face and said.

Little Qin Hao leaned on her and pinched the corner of her clothes. His big eyes were full of sadness as he said, "I really don't want Uncle Qin Yi to leave. I still have a lot of knowledge that I don't understand, and there's no one to teach me. Mom won't let me sleep with him anymore..."

"We used this excuse yesterday." Liu Rusi didn't buy it.

Xiao Qinhao was disappointed and puzzled. Can it be used again after it has been used? Shouldn't it be used continuously if it works well?

Liu Rusi squatted down and looked at him, then smiled and said, "If it doesn't rain in a few days, I will go to the city. Do you want to go with me, Haohao?"

"Yes!" Children's attention span is like this. Some unhappy things can be easily covered up by happy things, so many people recall happy things about their childhood.

At this time, at the Huang family, Huang Dashi was sitting by the bed, and Huang's wife was persuading him: "Our daughter wants to follow Enren Liu, why can't we agree to this? Even if Caiyun marries that old ghost, it will only be five taels of silver, but Enren Liu is willing to pay ten taels!"

"I know!" Huang Dashi raised his brows, scaring Mrs. Huang so much that she shrank back. However, he had listened to Liu Rusi's advice in the past few years, and after having a son, he was even more willing to listen to Liu Rusi, so his bad habit of violence had been changed.

"But this means I have to sell her as a slave. It would be fine if I sold her somewhere else. But I can't see her anywhere else. How can I put my face down?"

"My son's father, she is our savior! To repay her for saving our lives, many people are willing to be slaves. It's not shameful to tell others about it!"

Seeing that Huang Dashi was still hesitating, Huang's wife added: "Enmity Liu first saved your life, and then helped me recuperate, so we had a son. But she never asked us for anything in return. After Qin Lie left, she always came to us for help with chickens, ducks, and gifts."

"It would be better to be Brother Qin's concubine." Huang Dashi thought to himself. He heard that Qin Yi went out to make a living. If he became rich, he could also benefit from it.

Huang's wife paused for a moment, but this was not a good thing for Liu Rusi. Which woman wanted her man to have three wives and four concubines? Was this a way of repaying a favor or seeking revenge?

But then she realized that men cannot understand women's suffering, so Huang Saozi changed the topic and said, "They already have a son. Common people like us can only take concubines if we are 40 and childless. Besides, she promised not to tell anyone about this. We can just say that it is not easy for a woman like her to take care of a child at home, so we sent our daughter to her house to keep her company and help her out."

Huang Dashi scoffed at the idea that a man could take a concubine if he was childless at the age of 40. "That's what the law says, but in reality it all depends on whether one has money. As long as one can afford it, no one will care how many concubines he has. If he had money and didn't have a son a few years ago, he would have taken a concubine."

But he also figured it out. Anyway, this matter would not be told to anyone, and he didn't have to add any dowry with the extra five taels of silver.

The ox cart was swaying on the road again.

In addition to the usual cargo, there were four people sitting on the ox cart this time, but it was still easy for the oxen pulling the cart. Apart from Liu Ronggui who was driving the car, there were only two women and a child.

"Sister Si, after we go to the county government office, I can follow you, right?" Caiyun's eyes were bright. She had asked this question many times.

Liu Rusi smiled and replied again, "Yes, you will follow me from now on, but you have to help me with the work. I can't let you enjoy a leisurely life."

"Of course! I have to work at home too! If I still have to work after getting married, it doesn't matter where I work!" Caiyun was very optimistic. Besides, Sister Shi was such a nice person, maybe she would be beaten and scolded less than if she got married.

Liu Rusi had already told her uncle and son not to tell anyone about Caiyun signing the indenture contract. It was not easy to hide this from her uncle when they came to the city, not to mention her son, who would find out sooner or later.

Liu Rusi was not worried either, as neither of them were gossipy people.
