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

The streets of the town are full of various stalls and vendors, selling a wide variety of snacks and dim sum.

"Qin Hao, do you want to eat a candy man?" Chu Shiyu suddenly asked.

Qin Hao thought about it and shook his head and said, "No, I want to eat candied haws this time."

Chu Shiyu was stunned for a moment, then earnestly recommended: "The sugar man is delicious, how about eating the sugar man first and then the candied haws?"

"I know sugar men are delicious...but..."

Little Qin Hao looked up and asked Liu Rusi: "Mom, you can only choose one today, right?"

"Well, Haohao is great. Don't eat too many snacks. You need to have lunch soon." Liu Rusi was very pleased that her son was so sensible and would always remember what he said.

Little Qin Hao nodded, then turned to Chu Shiyu and said, "So today I will choose the candied haws, uncle, you can choose the candy man yourself."

Chu Shiyu was suddenly speechless. How could he make it seem like he wanted to eat... The problem was that he didn't ask anyone to arrange lunch, and planned to take the two of them to eat snacks on the street. Who knew that they would have to choose the same rule one day?

"How about making an exception today and choosing a few more snacks? I've been eating formally on the road lately, and it's rare to come across such a lively town." Chu Shiyu tried to lobby.

Little Qin Hao shook his head and said, "Mom said that we can't eat snacks all we want. We used to go to the city once every one or two months, but this time we're already ahead of schedule."

As he was talking, little Qin Hao saw a vendor selling candied haws. He walked over and asked while choosing his own: "Mom, Sister Caiyun, do you want to eat candied haws?"

Both women nodded happily, but Chu Shiyu on the side was immediately furious and said, "Boy, why don't you ask me?"

He was just feeling depressed when he heard Liu Rusi ask him, Sun Zhizhao and the guards: "Would you like to eat a skewer? I'll treat you."

Chu Shiyu was a little embarrassed to answer directly, but just expressed his agreement with bright eyes. When he heard the word "no..." behind his ear, he took a step back extremely quickly and stepped on the foot of the person who spoke!

The three people behind him immediately said in unison: "Yes! Thank you, Madam Liu!"

Liu Rusi pretended not to notice their strangeness. A string of candied haws cost two cents, and she took out fourteen copper coins to pay the bill.

Chu Shiyu provided all her food, accommodation and transportation these days - although it was a by-product of forced repayment, she felt it was not good to eat a snack alone, and he looked like why didn't he come and ask me... But she didn't want to treat him specially, and anyway, the candied haws were not worth much, so she could treat everyone.

Then the scene on the town street was even more bizarre. A group of seven people, including adults, children, men and women, each held a string of candied haws in their hands, which made the candied haws look particularly delicious! Many people who saw it followed suit and bought a string. As a result, the candied haws in the town were very popular today!

The candied haws were quickly finished. Little Qinhao followed Liu Rusi and threw the sticks into the trash basket at the corner of the street. Then he turned around and asked, "Uncle, do you want more candy?"

Chu Shiyu...you kid! You're usually pretty smart, what's wrong with you today?!

"Haohao, it's time for lunch. The cross-bridge rice noodles there seem to be good." Liu Rushi pulled little Qin Hao over and walked there.

Chu Shiyu breathed a sigh of relief, and then stared at Niao Na's back with his pair of phoenix eyes. She was always able to see through everything, but she also drew a clear line for him and only gave him consideration beyond the line...

This cross-bridge rice noodle restaurant has very good business. When a group of people entered, there was not a single empty table. This kind of common food is usually shared by different people.

Liu Rusi rarely eats out in this world, but in modern times she often shares a table with others to eat fast food. She found a table with only one old man sitting at it, and she took little Qin Hao and Caiyun over to ask, "Grandma, is there anyone sitting next to you?"

The old woman shook her head nervously and hurriedly lowered her head to eat faster. Liu Rusi couldn't help feeling a little guilty, as if she had frightened someone. She quickly said softly, "Don't worry, grandma. The three of us will sit next to you. You can eat slowly."

The old man looked at her dodgyly, and only slowed down a little when he saw that she had a kind face and a gentle attitude. Liu Rusi then sat down with peace of mind.

The three of them sat down just right, but Chu Shiyu and the other three felt awkward. In such a busy place with people coming and going, not only did they look out of place standing here, they were also blocking the road...but others didn't dare to ask them to give way, so they all dodged and squeezed past them.

Liu Rusi was a little embarrassed when she saw this. It was her negligence. They followed her when she ate at the noodle stall before, and she subconsciously thought it was the same this time. So she whispered, "How about Mr. Chu, you two go find something else to eat? We'll meet up at the place where we came in from outside the town later."

After hesitating for a moment, Chu Shiyu shook his head and refused. How could he leave them in such a mixed place? It was embarrassing, but he couldn't be unable to withstand such a situation.

Fortunately, this awkward situation did not last long. Two seats became vacant at the table next to them, and Chu Shiyu naturally went over to take them.

Sun Zhizhao and the two guards were a little confused. Normally, they couldn't sit at the same table with the prince without permission, let alone on the same stool. But the prince was sitting opposite two commoners...

Just as they were hesitating, the old man at Liu Rusi's table stood up. Chu Shiyu immediately stood up and prepared to change seats. Although he would sit next to Caiyun, it was better than sitting at another table.

Just at this moment, several people rushed in aggressively. A big man with a face full of flesh reached over Caiyun to grab the old woman's collar, spitting and scolding: "You damn old woman, didn't I tell you to wait at home to sell the house? You must transfer the house in Zhendong today!"

The old man trembled and begged with a sad face: "That is the ancestral property left by my wife. My son is away. I can't decide such a big thing. I beg you to be kind and wait for my son to come back and discuss it later."

With a big arm across her head, Caiyun could only try to reduce her presence as much as possible, shrinking like a little quail...

Liu Rusi didn't know how to react. Although she would help out when she could, she would not force herself to do so. But now they were sitting at this table. If they stood up and walked, it would seem that they would attract the attention of the villains. But if they sat and watched, they couldn't bear to watch...

However, before they could figure out what to do, the evil man discovered the door to the new world. When he saw Liu Rusi, his eyes froze, and his face was almost drooling. He loosened the old woman's collar and said in a slick tone: "Young lady is really..."

"boom!"

The powerful long legs kicked the villain to the ground!

"Drag him out!" Chu Shiyu's voice was cold.

The guards appeared, both openly and covertly, and they arrested the villain and the thugs he brought with him and dragged them to the street in an instant...

Liu Rusi glanced at the half-eaten noodles. The villain's saliva was splattering all over the place, so she definitely couldn't eat any more... She couldn't help but sigh inwardly. It seemed that she was not suitable to go out, as if there was some law of attracting scumbags.

"Haohao, let's go..." Liu Rusi pulled Xiao Qinhao up and found that Chu Shiyu was still looking at her with concern. She lowered her eyes slightly, then raised her eyes and smiled at him sincerely: "Thank you, otherwise it might be troublesome."

Gratitude is gratitude, and resentment is resentment, but at least now she has to say thank you for this matter.

Chu Shiyu, who was just getting angry, was suddenly overjoyed. This villain came at the right time and unexpectedly won Liu Rusi's favor!

A few people stood up and walked out. The old man finally reacted and quickly moved outside and knelt down, saying anxiously: "Thank you, sir and madam, for your help! This bully wants to buy my family's ancestral property by force, and I don't know what to do!"

Liu Rusi hesitated a little. The old man seemed to be expressing his gratitude but was actually asking for help. However, this was not something she could help with. The only one who could help was... She looked at Chu Shiyu hesitantly.

Chu Shiyu understood and smiled, then turned his head slightly and told Sun Zhizhao: "Send those evil people and this old man to the government office in the area, and leave a few people to supervise them."

"Yes!" Sun Zhizhao went to make arrangements immediately. He also had an idea in his mind. This local bully must have committed more than one crime. He had to spread the word so that those who had suffered losses in the town could jointly sue him. It would be best if this villain could be made a new man.

Walking out of the Guoqiao Rice Noodles shop, Liu Rusi felt a little melancholy. They had only eaten half a bowl, and Chu Shiyu hadn't eaten yet...

"Haohao, do you want to eat something? How about... make an exception today and buy some more snacks?" Liu Rusi flexibly adjusted the rules.

With little Qin Hao's intelligence, he naturally understood that this was because his lunch was interrupted, so his mother brought snacks to make up for it. He nodded obediently and said, "Okay, I saw some sesame cakes for sale on the street, I want to eat some."

Liu Rusi was deeply moved. What a considerate son! Sweets were just snacks to little Qin Hao. Normally, he would never mention something like sesame cake.

"Okay, let's buy some sesame cakes first, and then buy a candy man, okay?" Liu Rusi suggested with a smile.

"Okay!" Of course little Qin Hao still wanted to eat candy!

Naturally looking at Chu Shiyu and the two newly replaced guards, Liu Rusi smiled and said, "Let's go, I'll treat you all the snacks."

Chu Shiyu used all his self-control to make himself appear less excited! The bully came at a great time!

The few of them really let go and picked snacks on the street. Liu Rusi said it was her treat, so Chu Shiyu asked the guards not to pay the bill. Anyway, these small vendors were not expensive, and he thought the things she bought were particularly delicious~

Liu Rusi had no pressure in treating guests. A palm-sized sesame cake, vegetable cake cost one cent, meat cake cost two cents, and a candy man cost three cents. She also bought some snacks like Poria cocos cake and tamarind cake to take back. It looked like the six of them had a lot to eat, but in fact, she didn't spend a single cent.

When they returned to the town with bags of snacks, they were all reluctant to leave. It was such a joy to shop! Chu Shiyu was even more reluctant to leave. Shopping with Liu Rusi and the others was completely different from wandering around in Jinyan City.

He walked very slowly, worried that Liu Rusi would return to her old ways after he returned.

Fortunately, his worries were only half realized. Liu Rusi was indeed a little colder than when she was in the town, but she was also a little warmer than before she came to the town.

It’s another long journey, and it’s been almost a month since we set out.

Despite the busy journey, Chu Shiyu became more and more immersed in it. Starting from that small town, he deliberately paid attention to the prosperous towns he passed along the way.

Sometimes the location of a town is not so perfect, and he will deliberately make it perfect. Instead of making a special journey, they now feel more like traveling around the world.

During this relaxed journey, his relationship with Liu Rusi gradually became more harmonious, like two good friends traveling together. Now she would even discuss with him the customs, landscapes and topography of each town.

Of course, all this is based on the fact that his intimate behavior did not cross the line.

The capital city is thousands of miles away.

"Has Little Eighth been making a lot of noise on the road these days?" The emperor temporarily put aside his busy affairs and asked about his sons' situation as if it was a relief from his exhausting worries.

Eunuch Xu reported truthfully: "Your Majesty, except for the killing of a few servants in the first few days, everything has been fine since then."

"Well, he has a bad temper, so he just went to the border to temper himself." The emperor didn't care much, and called a palace maid to massage his stiff neck and shoulders, and then asked, "Where was Yu at that time? How far was he on his way back to Beijing?"

"According to the pigeon message this morning, Prince Duan is expected to arrive at Jiangbian City in a few days."

The emperor made a rough estimate, frowned and asked, "It seems a little slow? With the normal marching speed of the infantry, he should have crossed the river long ago."

"Recently, Prince Duan goes into every city he sees for a while to have some fun. He spends a few hours in each city. It's not much if you count them individually, but when added up, it adds up to a few days." Eunuch Xu answered cautiously.

But the emperor didn't really care about the morning and evening of those days. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the relaxation of his shoulders and neck. Then he asked: "Are you still following that widow and orphan closely?"

“Yes…” Eunuch Xu had a slight sweat on his forehead.
