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

Xiao Taohong hugged Liu Rusi and cried for a long time before she timidly whispered, "Mrs. Liu looks like my sister..."

Liu Rusi smiled without responding, but handed her a handkerchief and asked her to wipe her tears.

"It's not about appearance! It's... she feels like a sister..."

Xiao Taohong carefully took the handkerchief. Since she left Xingzhou City, she had slowly felt that Madam Liu was a very gentle and considerate person. Even though she was extremely tired, she still took good care of Miss Caiyun and cared about her, an insignificant little maid...

Last night she found Prince Duan and told him about Madam Liu's fainting. In fact, she didn't expect to take revenge on the second house. She just felt that such a good Madam Liu shouldn't be bullied by the Zhang family, and by the way, brought bad luck to the entire Zhang family.

"Then just treat Sister Si as your sister. I also think that Sister Si is like my sister~" Caiyun's voice was still hoarse, but her expression was as lively as usual.

Taohong looked at Caiyun, who was one or two years older than her, and then looked at Liu Rusi. In fact, she had guessed from the beginning that since there was such a big difference in their appearance, they should not be real sisters.

"I will get your indenture contract tomorrow. If it works, you can follow me if you are willing." Liu Rusi smiled. The Zhang family is now in awe of them and they will not hold back a little maid.

"Really? Is it really possible?" Taohong was overjoyed. She had never thought that she could leave the Zhang family early and follow the lady she loved!

Liu Rusi nodded, smiled gently and asked, "What was your original name? It shouldn't be Taohong, right?"

Tao Hong was stunned for a moment, then tears rolled down her cheeks again. She whispered, "My name is Yang Xuefei, and my sister's name is Yang Liuyi..."

"When I went there, the willows were swaying. Now when I come back, it is raining and snowing~" Little Qin Hao spoke immediately.

Liu Rusi comforted Yang Xuefei while looking at little Qin Hao. When did her son learn the Book of Songs? Wasn't he still learning the Analects?

Noticing his mother's gaze, little Qin Hao turned his head away with a guilty conscience. Although he had promised his mother that he would only study for two hours, he often read books that were not currently being studied in his spare time. His memory was so good that he remembered a lot of what he had read...

Liu Rusi was helpless. It wasn't that she really didn't like her son to study, she just hoped that he wouldn't just focus on studying. She pretended to be ignorant and turned back to Yang Xuefei and asked, "Have you ever studied before?"

"My father has the reputation of being a scholar, but he failed to pass the imperial examination and could not enter the official career... My father never looked down on my sister and me because we are daughters, and he taught my elder sister all his knowledge. My elder sister is a famous talented woman in our town... I haven't even learned the basics..." Yang Xuefei burst into tears again.

This was natural. If her father had not been educated, he might not even know how to write a complaint, so how could he immediately go to the county government to file a complaint? It was probably because they were afraid that her father would appeal again as a scholar, so they sent the evil servants to beat him to death the next day.

Liu Rusi's eyes were red. The more beautiful things are, the more heartbreaking they are when they disappear... In modern times, this is a rare warm family. She dare not hope for it...

The Zhang family was really scared. Before 3 p.m. the next day, they had collected 1,000 dan of rice, 100 dan of rice, and more than 89,000 taels of silver!

Liu Rusi looked at the white silver in a large box, and she felt that her eyes were about to be blinded! Before, she felt that the 100,000 taels were light and floating, and she had no idea in her mind, but now she felt it intuitively!

Dozens of escort boxes were filled with silver! Looking at the heavy weight of these boxes, she quickly realized that 4.5 taels was about tons! Spread out in each box, each box would weigh about kilograms!

With difficulty, Liu Rusi turned her eyes away from the silver and quietly asked Chu Shiyu beside her: "Why don't you use silver bills? Wouldn't it be inconvenient to carry it?"

"It is troublesome to withdraw silver bills. Some local banks may not be able to transfer so much cash. Moreover, silver bills are paper after all, which are easy to be damaged and lost. Many families' savings are stored in silver." Chu Shiyu explained softly.

Liu Rusi nodded. It seemed that this was common sense. She was also afraid that the banknotes would be damaged, so she never thought of exchanging her belongings for banknotes... However, when she saw this scene, she also intuitively felt that she was so poor!

However, I don’t know how much of this money is the Zhang family’s money taken from the people.

Liu Rusi looked at the loads of rice next to her. Although they were not as valuable as silver, and not as shocking, she knew very well that more than 400 mu of land could produce so much grain! Assuming that an average person could cultivate three or four mu of land, more than 100 farmers would have to give up food and drink to produce so much food! And the grain here was just the tip of the Zhang family's iceberg!

Sun Zhizhao led the guards to count all the silver and grain. After confirming that everything was correct, they brought the horse-drawn carriage to start loading the goods. They brought a lot of horses with them, and the carts for loading the goods were borrowed from the Zhang family.

They were also going to leave the Zhang family today. Although the Zhang family didn't dare to say anything, they knew in their hearts that the Zhang family didn't welcome them, and they wouldn't be comfortable living in such a place.

Chu Shiyu has sent people to pack up the government office in Xingzhou City. They will move there. The place is large enough and convenient for subsequent disaster relief. As for the flooding of the city, Chu Shiyu has reinforced all the dikes near Xingzhou. He is confident that the next time the river bursts, it will definitely not be here.

After calming down her increasingly angry mood, Liu Rusi looked at Madam Zhang beside her, raised a polite smile and said, "This little girl has been taking good care of me these past two days. I am a little reluctant to leave her, and I didn't bring anyone to serve me this time..."

"Then I'll give this girl to Madam Liu! How about I arrange a few more maids to accompany Madam?" Madam Zhang immediately said attentively. After yesterday, she knew that Prince Duan was very concerned about Liu! A few maids were not worth much at all. It would be best to please Liu.

"No need for anything else. We don't need too many people to serve us. If it's convenient, why not get this girl's indenture now?" The indenture is like her marriage certificate back then. This thing controls a person's destiny, and she won't feel at ease unless she holds it in her hands immediately.

Madam Zhang nodded quickly and asked the butler to find the servants' indentures. The indentures of each family's maids and servants were in the hands of each family, while the indentures of other servants, domestic servants, and maids belonged to the Zhang family, and were therefore public property.

Servants are also a kind of property of rich families. They are no different from livestock, except that their division of labor is different.

Chu Shiyu watched with tenderness in his eyes as she asked for the little maid to come over. In fact, without her saying anything, he had already arranged for Sun Zhizhao to go and get her. This little maid was smart, so it would be nice to keep her by her side.

The indenture was soon found and handed over to Liu Rusi. Yang Xuefei couldn't help but shed tears of surprise and joy, and quickly covered her face and cried quietly.

Madam Zhang looked at it and suddenly realized how the prince knew about Liu being humiliated by the second wife? Did Liu tell him herself? Then why did he only target the second wife? Many people, including her, ridiculed her that day!

Is it possible that this maid said it? Madam Zhang couldn't help but look at Xue Fei fiercely!

Liu Rusi took a step forward inconspicuously, blocking her line of sight, slowly folded the indenture and put it in her arms, then raised her eyes and smiled at her with an inexplicable expression.

Madam Zhang couldn't help but feel a chill and quickly averted her gaze. The indenture had already been given and the consequences were irreversible.
