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

In fact, Liu Rusi dreamed of Qin Lie again last night.

This time it was not a conversation with her, but the days before he met her.

It doesn't seem to be anything special.

That fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy was busy in the fields and hills, and those sweaty days passed by like a flash...

But when he had some free time, everything started to slow down. He sat in the yard, listening to the birds in the forest and the cicadas chirping in the trees.

Then, it stood quietly in front of the graves on the East Mountain.

Qin Lie is not like her, always shedding tears.

But she could feel that the pain of guarding the dead alone was no different.

Last night's dream had no words...

But she understood that the soul existed, right beside her, in some illusory corner.

But they are separated by the Yin and Yang and can never come back.

And he didn't want her to suffer the same pain...

It might not be a coincidence that Chu Shiyu appeared at his grave that day.

And she was not without feelings.

Maybe we can try, let each other go...

……

The moon is like a crescent.

Liu Rusi finally coaxed her son to sleep, covered him with a blanket, and sighed inaudibly. She had promised her son that she would not accept Chu Shiyu's...

She did feel a little guilty towards her son.

She closed the door lightly and turned to go back to her room to rest, only to see Chu Shiyu still standing at the door with a wronged and depressed look on his face.

After a faint glance, Liu Rusi still walked towards her room. Although she wanted to let it go, if they were really incompatible, even if it was his wish...

She would not force herself, nor would she let Qin Hao down.

Chu Shiyu was anxious to repair the new cracks, and grabbed her soft arm with his big hand, "Rusi, listen to me... I really didn't mean to hinder the bond between you and your son, but..."

"Isn't it because Qin Hao wanted to steal your attention that you deliberately said those things to provoke him?"

Liu Rusi asked expressionlessly, "Why? You found out that my concern for him far exceeds my approval of you, and you want to pretend it was an accident?"

Chu Shiyu was speechless after his little trick was exposed. It was not the first time that he humiliated himself in front of her. It was just that it was mostly because of Qin Lie before, but this time it was because of her son... But he could not resist his greed and wanted to grab more of her attention, or even all of it.

"I always talked about Qin Lie before, but never told you about Qin Hao. I thought this was unnecessary. So I will tell you once, and only this time. Remember it!"

Liu Rusi spoke each word with great emphasis, as if swearing: "Qin Hao will always be the one I care about most in my heart! If you can't tolerate him, then there is no possibility for us!"

The big hand, which originally had just enough strength to prevent him from breaking free, suddenly tightened. He hurriedly explained, "How could this be! When did I not have room for him..."

The little hand directly covered his lips.

"I haven't finished yet." Her almond eyes reflected a cold light that had never been seen before in the auspicious lanterns with dragons and phoenixes.

"Never do anything to hurt Qin Hao! Otherwise..."

She didn't say what would happen otherwise, but Chu Shiyu would never dare to think that she was bluffing! Just imagining that possibility made him shudder! That would be a hatred that would never be reconciled in this life!

"Rusi, please believe me! I never had any such thoughts! I just didn't want to be as close to him as a father and son a few days ago..."

Chu Shiyu paused, his eyes full of grievance, and said seriously: "Other than that, there is really no unfair treatment!"

"I know... I just want to make it clear first. I won't say it again."

Liu Rusi looked up at Yuekong and asked softly, "What did you find out when you asked the Supervisor that day?"

Many excuses and lies flashed through his mind, but were all denied by the feeling in his heart. This feeling was not in line with his temperament... But Chu Shiyu followed his feeling, gently hugged Liu Rusi, and remained silent.

After a moment of silence, Liu Rusi reached out and hugged the thin waist, patted it a few times and said, "I'm a little tired, let's rest early."

Although they didn't have much time to spend together today, Chu Shiyu didn't want to leave on the day when he had just confirmed her feelings, so he also stayed in the left room, tacitly deducting one day from the agreed ten days, so that he could be considered to have actually spent the night in Liu Rusi's house.

...

This house has never had a plaque. Liu Rusi wanted to name it "Qin House" and privately asked Xue Fei to customize it for her when she left Prince Duan's Mansion. However, Chu Shiyu had already made a plaque with the name "Liu Mansion" on his own.

Until the day of moving in, neither of them compromised with the other's opinion, and in the end, the room was simply left empty...

So for the residents nearby, they had no idea what the house was called. Instead, the sign of the Women's Clinic next to it was big and bright, so they just called it the Women's Clinic when talking about it.

As soon as the day dawned, there was a commotion outside the women's clinic.

An old man, who looked haggard, sat slumped at the gate and cried, "Why are you holding my grandson hostage? Everyone, please judge for yourself! My wife passed by here when she was out buying groceries. She gave birth to my grandson yesterday afternoon! But you still won't let my grandson go home!"

Several guards of Prince Duan were unsure of what to do. Under normal circumstances, they would just drag him away. However, this was Madam Liu's clinic's business. Should they intervene directly?

Xue Fei and Zhu Qing stayed in the women's clinic at night. They woke up when they heard the noise and looked at each other. Zhu Qing stayed to take care of the mother and two babies, while Xue Fei ran to the main courtyard to find Madam Liu.

"Madam! The woman's mother-in-law is here to make trouble and wants us to return her grandson!"

Perhaps because she had been lazy for too long, Liu Rusi woke up earlier than she did six months ago. She woke up only when she heard the call, yawned and sat up from the bed. She asked lazily, "Did the husband of the woman who had just given birth bring food last night?"

"Yes, but they were delivered a little late, at 11 p.m., and he also went to the guest room to recognize the two babies..." Zhu Qing, as a girl who was sold as a maid, felt a little sad about such things.

"Haha, it's good enough that you delivered the meal. It proves that you care about the child very much." Liu Ru got up from the bed. Qiu Ju, who was in the outer room last night, fetched hot water for her to wash.

"Thank you." Liu Rusi thanked Qiuju and picked up the toothbrush to brush her teeth. Qiuju was not surprised because Mrs. Liu had always maintained these habits.

Before brushing her teeth, Liu Rusi told Zhu Qing, "Go and tell the mother-in-law that the woman was not well taken care of during her pregnancy, so the baby has congenital deficiencies. Now both mother and child need enough sleep to recuperate."

"Her noise might scare the baby and disturb the woman's milk, so the baby won't have anything to eat. Ask her to bring breakfast at 7 o'clock, and then we can let her visit the female doctor in the clinic."

Zhu Qing thought about it and walked out after receiving the order. Qiu Ju said, "Madam, please let me go! I'm good at talking and I'm better at quarreling than Zhu Qing!"

Liu Rusi smiled while holding the toothbrush in her mouth, and said vaguely: "Okay, but try not to quarrel, it's better to convince them."

"Okay~" Qiuju handed the handkerchief in her hand to Zhuqing, then walked out by pulling up her sleeves, looking very heroic and proud!

Liu Rusi washed and changed her clothes at a leisurely pace.

Just as she was about to leave the house, Qiu Ju came back in high spirits and reported: "The old lady went back. When she mentioned that her grandson was frightened to death due to his weakness, she dared not even breathe, and asked me to keep my voice down."

Liu Rusi originally planned to go to the women's clinic first, but after hearing what she said, she was no longer in a hurry and planned to go there after breakfast.

It is difficult to change people's ideas, but it is feasible to use their preference for boys over girls to make them treat mothers and girls well.

At about noon, Yue Ziqian and his wife arrived. Lin Qingzhi had already seen at the door that the parents-in-law and the short and fat man had arrived.

"Well, let's go to the women's clinic." Liu Rusi just took a step, then stopped and touched little Qin Hao's head and said, "Mother is busy recently. When I have time, I will take Hao Hao out to play. You will be good, okay?"

"Okay~" Qin Hao immediately became happy. No matter how smart a child is, he is still a child and needs his mother's care.

At exactly 7:00 p.m., the door of the women's clinic opened.

The opening hours are marked at the entrance of the women's clinic, from chenshi to sishi in the morning, and from weishi to shenshi in the afternoon. It is closed on the first and fifteenth day of every month and some holidays.

Although Liu Rusi is interested in doing something, she doesn't want to become a machine that only works. After all, the time she spent with Qin Lie in this life has taught her to enjoy life. She needs to have time to accompany her son, take care of the vegetable garden, and go shopping.

"The door is finally open! They won't even let me see my newborn grandson. This is driving me crazy!" The trembling old lady complained excitedly, but she was still concerned about the previous instructions and didn't dare to shout loudly.

The short and fat man looked at Liu Rusi with a puzzled expression, but he was holding a food box in his hand, which should be breakfast for the pregnant woman. He probably started preparing it a long time ago, and asked the mother-in-law to come out and throw a tantrum in the early morning, just to try to get his grandson back.

"Grandma, come with me and bring breakfast in. Then bring the two children out to show grandpa." Liu Rushi walked over with a faint smile.

"Why don't you let us in to take a look? It's so chilly in the morning. My old cold legs are sore!" The older man blew his beard and glared.

"This is a female clinic. Male guests over one year old are not allowed to enter." Liu Rusi added the details. Otherwise, if they were shameless and said that their grandson was also a boy, there would be a dispute. The women who booked services in the future would not mind a baby boy under one year old, right?

"Can't you make an exception? My family has been looking forward to having a grandchild for six or seven years!"

"I don't even allow my five-year-old son into this women's clinic, and no one can make an exception." Liu Rusi said firmly.

That family seems to be arguing...

"Even His Royal Highness Prince Duan can't enter here. Are you more special than the current prince?" Lin Qingzhi suddenly said coldly from the side.

When the prince was mentioned, the guards who had been watching silently stepped forward and made a threatening gesture. Several family members immediately suppressed their arguments.

"Then you go in first!" the old man scolded the old lady.

Liu Rusi sighed that power is really useful, and walked forward to support the trembling old lady with a cane, and walked towards the women's clinic. At the same time, she said to the father and son behind her: "You go to the guest room in the front yard and wait. I will bring the two children to you later."

The father and son, who were thought to be unable to see each other, seemed a little happy. Liu Rusi smiled secretly, thinking that giving a sweet date after a stick was a manipulation method that could be used anywhere.

When they arrived at the museum, Liu Rusi asked Lin Qingzhi and others to return to normal, as there was no need for so many people to gather around.

The old lady entered the ward and saw two babies wrapped and sleeping in baskets. Her cloudy eyes began to light up and she asked excitedly in a low voice, "Which one is my grandson?"

"They are twins, and you can't tell the difference if you put them aside. Don't worry, we will take good care of them."

Liu Rusi actually recognized them, but she deliberately didn't say anything, nor did she let the old lady do anything. Instead, she said softly, "Your wife worked too hard during her pregnancy, and they are born with congenital deficiencies. In the first month after they were born, they have to eat well and sleep well to have a chance to make up for it. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

As she spoke, she took out the small table from under the bed, put it on the woman's bed and said, "Let your wife have breakfast first. She will have the strength to feed the baby when he wakes up."

The old lady then looked at the woman lying on the bed, still weak but with a glorious face, and complained, "Why can't you take care of yourself? My grandson has congenital defects!"

The woman seemed to be waiting for the old lady to look at her with approval, but she still heard a reproach and her expression did not look very good.

"You can't blame her for this. She had to walk to the market to buy vegetables and cook before giving birth. Isn't that tiring? And in order for you to see your grandson in advance, she is giving birth to twins, so the burden is huge!" Liu Rusi persuaded softly.

"See it in advance? What does that mean?" The old lady was particularly concerned about the words surrounding her grandson.

"It's about the balance of yin and yang. Yin and yang, yin and yang. Yin comes before yang." Liu Rusi said, and then stopped, as if she didn't intend to explain in detail.

But it wasn't just the old lady who had a probing look on her face. The woman in labor couldn't help but ask, "Madam, can you explain in detail what the yin and yang are?"

Liu Rusi was full of hesitation, as if it was some secret that she was not going to tell anyone. She glanced at them for a few seconds, then covered her mouth and whispered, "Since you are the first customers of my female clinic, I will tell you."

The old lady and the woman were even more interested, nodding quietly and listening attentively.

"Have you ever thought about why women give birth to children?" Liu Rusi asked mysteriously.

The old lady and the woman immediately looked like, what nonsense are you talking about!

Liu Rusi quickly continued, "There is a saying that women are yin and men are yang. Yin must come first before yang can come. That's why women can give birth to children!"

"Then why can some people give birth to a son in their first pregnancy?" The old lady glanced at the woman.

"It depends mainly on the man. Every man has a different destiny. Your family already had several girls, right? Maybe with the addition of the girl among the twins, your family is not blessed enough to have a boy." Liu Rusi said seriously.

The woman's eyes widened and she suddenly said, "I have two daughters. My husband is almost the same as my father-in-law. My husband has three sisters-in-law..."

"Yes, this is the natural law of yin and yang balance and has nothing to do with women themselves." Liu Rushi emphasized again that in this era, talking about xy chromosomes is too excessive, but talking about yin and yang metaphysics is in line with public sentiment.

"What do you mean?" The old lady and the woman were both puzzled.

"There is God's will. Some families must have enough girls before they can have boys, while some families are the other way around. Your family has enough girls now, so God will allow you to have a boy." Liu Rusi spoke in a mysterious manner.

"The details are too profound to be explained to you, but your family had better be nice to the girls. The two ends of the pole must be similar so that it can be carried steadily. If it is originally balanced and one side is suddenly taken away, what will happen?"

"Fall?" the old lady asked.

The woman lying on the bed suddenly became anxious. She ignored the order of seniority and grabbed the old lady and scolded her, "Don't talk nonsense!"

When the old lady reacted, she didn't blame her daughter-in-law, but quickly retracted the words she had blurted out with "Pooh, pooh, pooh".

Liu Rusi smiled but said nothing. When it comes to important things, people would rather believe it.
