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

No one dared to disturb the deep sleep of the people in the courtyard, while outside the Zhang Mansion was in chaos. Many people hurried to the courtyard, but were stopped outside by the layers of guards.

After a day's rest, Old Lady Zhang has recovered a lot. With such a big family here, she can't fall down.

At this time, the whole family was still in the old lady's courtyard, and many of them looked indignant. The second wife, the woman who had targeted Liu Rusi yesterday, said angrily: "How can you be so rude and arrogant? You forced yourself to stay at someone's house and didn't even see the owner!"

"Be careful with your words!" The old lady tapped hard with her cane.

The second wife shut up. Madam Zhang's eyes were red at this time. Uncle Zhang had not come back for a day and a night. She was afraid that something bad might happen to him. However, she was more like the old lady and was more worried about the future of the Zhang family.

"Mother, I didn't pay attention to Qin Liu's daily life yesterday. I didn't know that the housekeeper arranged for her to stay in a run-down guest house. But I didn't expect that Prince Duan would go straight to that guest house when he arrived. Anyone who entertains Prince Duan in that place would think it is neglectful...Should Prince Duan be moved to Guilinxuan or Yakeyuan?"

The old lady frowned, but shook her head and said, "Mr. Sun has already said that Prince Duan is tired and is resting. We can't change the guest house for them now. Besides, even if we change it, the previous poor hospitality has already been settled..."

"Why not send good food and clothing to Prince Duan and his entourage right now? The guards should also be treated well. The meals prepared for Prince Duan should be kept ready so that they can be served as soon as he wakes up."

Madam Zhang nodded in agreement and arranged for the servants to prepare immediately. She then complained, "That Qin Liu is really misleading. She didn't mention a word about her being the savior of Prince Duan. If she had, we would have been more polite yesterday."

"Who knows what life-saving grace it was? He went straight to her as soon as Prince Duan arrived. She must have hooked up with Prince Duan. Maybe it was because of her good seductive skills that Prince Duan gave her the title of life-saver." The second wife's face was full of disgust.

"No matter if it's a foxy trick or she's my savior, now that we know she's someone close to Prince Duan, I wonder if her fainting yesterday will cause any waves... We have to think of a way to deal with it." The old lady was also annoyed. She was too sad last night to take care of things, and she also felt that Liu was not important, so she just let these juniors speak rudely.

"Then it should be fine. When a few servant girls helped her back yesterday, the young lady and her son in that room were both fast asleep. One of the little servant girls is also from our house. We can then say that Qin Liu was in a daze and forgot how to get back." In order to prevent her son from being too bold, Madam Zhang had the servant girls keep an eye on the courtyard last night.

"Don't tell such a clumsy lie. If they don't mention it, don't say it. It's best if we can fool them. If they do mention it, just say that we were so worried about Shiliang's safety that we forgot to let Liu rest early."

The old lady instructed: "By the way, from now on, don't call that woman Qin Liu, just call her Liu or Madam Liu."

Everyone in the room understood immediately, but their expressions were different. At this time, Zhang Rujin, the second daughter of the eldest son, said, "Can I take some food and clothes to Liu? This way, the host will show that they care about her, and it won't bother her."

Madam Zhang and the old lady both had an idea. The position of the principal and concubine of Prince Duan had been vacant for a long time. Liu was born in a farming family and was a widow raising a child. Even if she really won the favor of Prince Duan, she would not be able to become a concubine. With the family background of the Zhang family, she would not be able to become a principal wife, but she might not be unable to fight for a concubine...

"Go ahead and try your best to make friends with Liu. Also, find an opportunity to speak well of the Zhang family in front of Prince Duan." Madam Zhang had a plan in mind. Regardless of whether she could get close to Prince Duan or not, there would be no harm in making friends with Liu.

Zhang Rujin originally just wanted to get close to Liu and experience her charm. If she could learn some of her seductive skills, she could use them on her future husband. At this moment, she felt a little uneasy when she saw the expressions of her mother and grandmother. Although she had a few candidates for husband, they were still far inferior to her own sister who was a concubine in the Prince Kang's mansion.

The sun passed by quickly and it began to darken again.

In the house of the dilapidated courtyard, Liu Rusi finally woke up from her deep sleep. Before she opened her eyes, she found that her lower abdomen was aching and her body seemed to be sticky and damp...

What bad luck! Women are weak during their menstrual period and the day or two before, and they hate to catch a cold. She soaked in the flood for a long time... It wouldn't have hurt at first, but now it hurts a little.

As Liu Rusi got up, she glanced at the inner room of the house. Little Qin Hao was not inside. She was lying on a simple couch... By the way, she fainted last night. Was she brought back by someone from Zhang's house?

Caiyun had recovered, but she was still a little weak and was still resting on the bed. She sat up from the main bed and said in a hoarse voice, "The second daughter of the eldest branch of the Zhang family is here. She is now waiting for Sister Si outside. Xiao Taohong asked for the unused menstrual belt for Sister... It's all in the room."

"I understand. You should rest for a while." Liu Rusi smiled bitterly. They are really a difficult couple.

Liu Rusi lifted the dark red sheet on the couch and put it aside. She changed her dirty clothes and planned to clean up quickly before going out to meet the guests.

Sitting at the table in the outer room was a teenage girl dressed in silk and gold and silver jewelry, with her maid Taohong and several other servants serving her.

Little Qin Hao was acting as an adult to entertain the guests, and at this moment he asked sincerely, "Sister Ru Jin, do you know what 'unkind people cannot stay in a relationship for a long time, and cannot enjoy happiness for a long time' means?"

Zhang Rujin was helpless and racked her brains to recall the lessons that she had long forgotten and put into a corner.

She came at 3 p.m. in the afternoon. The guards didn't let her in at first, but the maid from their house happened to come out. When she learned that Liu had her period, she came in on the pretext of delivering some personal items to Liu.

But who knew that Prince Duan and Liu Rusi were still sleeping, and although the child was polite, she just refused to wake up her mother. She had finally come in, so naturally she didn't want to leave just like that.

So the child sat outside and chatted with her. At first, he talked to her about the customs and habits of other places, but later somehow the topic turned to the Four Books and Five Classics!

As a daughter of an official family, she was taught to read and write by a family teacher since she was young. However, women in Daxia could not take the imperial examination to become officials, so there were not many requirements for women's education, and they basically stayed at reading and writing. Some women who were interested in this might try to gain a reputation as a talented woman, but Zhang Rujin had no interest in this. At most, she could write a few poems to show off her elegance and to support the occasion in some occasions...

Zhang Rujin thought for a long time but couldn't remember it. Just when she was hesitating and feeling awkward, the door to the inner room opened and Liu Rusi walked out gracefully. She smiled politely and said hello to her, "Sorry to have kept you waiting, Miss Zhang."

At the same time, the main door of the room opened, and Chu Shiyu walked in, fresh from a shower, with his hair still half wet.

His gaze immediately fell on Liu Rusi. Seeing her still somewhat pale and weak face, he also thought that it was her period soon. He had been keeping it in mind since he knew it last time, but he did not expect an accident to happen suddenly, and she happened to suffer in these few days.
