Priceless: A widow with a baby asks the prince to marry again
Chapter 90: First, let’s ask if Madam Liu is hungry
Everyone in the audience looked at Zhang Rujin in horror!
After a while, the eldest lady of the Zhang family reacted first. She hurriedly stepped forward, tore off the complaint, and shouted: "What are you crazy about? Stop talking nonsense! Someone, come! Someone, come quickly! Take the young lady back!"
Zhang Rujin shouted fluently and hurriedly: "I want to report that Prince Kang intends to murder Prince Duan! Kill him and silence him when the incident happens, and kill my father Zhang Shiliang! I have evidence to prove that the governor of Henan Province Zeng... Um!"
"Shut up! Do you want to kill the entire Zhang family?!" Mrs. Zhang covered Zhang Rujin's mouth tightly and looked at the screen in horror.
When the magistrate heard about the fight between the two kings, he trembled. How could his small county government bear such a big thing? He also looked towards the screen tremblingly.
"Ha!" Chu Shiyu sneered.
Then he whispered to Liu Rusi, who was also stunned, "This is not the play I choreographed, but don't worry, it won't harm us."
Liu Rusi maintained her surprised look and turned her head to ask him to take a closer look. Was this an expression of worry? !
Chu Shiyu smiled gently, then turned his head, his face suddenly turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "This is about the king and King Kang. The county government is not qualified to judge. I am just a witness."
"Seal up the complaint and evidence, and immediately send them to the capital. Present them to the court for your father's review. Also, send people to escort the plaintiff Zhang Rujin to the capital. We will set off tomorrow morning."
The magistrate was immediately as if he had been pardoned. He didn't care about the dignity of a parent official, and knelt down beside the official chair and said, "Thank you, Your Highness Prince Duan, for your consideration! I will do it right away!"
The Zhang family was in chaos. The old lady grabbed a candle and quickly went to the pile of things that Zhang Rujin had brought with her despite her old body!
Seeing this, Zhang Rujin pounced on the pile of things to protect the evidence!
Madam Zhang had just torn the petition into pieces when she saw the candle flame was about to fall on Zhang Rujin, so she quickly stretched out her hand to block it!
"Ah! Hiss!" Mrs. Zhang was scalded!
"Believe me! I really don't mean to harm the Zhang family!" Zhang Rujin shouted.
The old lady threw away the candle, patted Zhang Rujin's back, and cried, "Prince Kang is your sister's husband! No matter what, Shiliang was drowned in the flood! It has nothing to do with Prince Kang!"
Behind the screen.
"Goo~"
Liu Rusi's stomach growled, a very slight sound.
But Chu Shiyu heard it, and he immediately frowned and said coldly: "County Magistrate, why don't you seal up the evidence? I don't have time to stay here all night!"
"Yes!"
The magistrate was originally hesitant about whether to let the Zhang family destroy the evidence to avoid being involved in the vortex of the fight between the two kings, but when he heard that Prince Duan was a little angry, he immediately took action! Now that he has sided with Prince Duan, he naturally has to take Prince Duan's attitude into consideration!
The bailiffs stepped forward and pushed aside the old lady and the first lady, and Zhang Rujin quickly stood up and cooperated with them to take away the evidence.
The matter finally came to an end.
Regardless of the disturbances behind him, Chu Shiyu took Liu Rusi and his party on horseback at night back to Xingzhou City.
After getting off the horse at the gate of the government office, Chu Shiyu asked eagerly, "You just had two snacks to fill your stomach. Are you still hungry? I've sent someone back to inform you to prepare the meal. Should we go eat now?"
"Third brother, there are so many things to do, but you are first concerned about whether Madam Liu is hungry?" A gentle voice with a smile came from the door.
Chu Shiyu glanced at King Kang and said expressionlessly, "What does your business have to do with me?"
Prince Kang looked at Chu Shiyu, then smiled and turned to Liu Rusi and asked, "Would you like to have dinner with me? I haven't had dinner yet."
Chu Shiyu's face immediately darkened. He blocked King Kang's sight with one step and said coldly, "Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"
“I’m not afraid, but if Third Brother really stands by and watches, that would be the best.” Chu Shikun’s smile faded, but it was still gentle.
"Goo~"
The sound was slight, but the people nearby could hear it. Liu Rusi held her forehead in embarrassment... She didn't feel hungry, but her stomach was rumbling and she couldn't control it...
"Don't stop me!" Chu Shiyu pushed Chu Shikun away, pulled Liu Rusi and walked inside.
Chu Shikun was not annoyed, and said with a spring breeze on his face: "I haven't eaten yet. There are so many delicacies on the table that I can't finish them all by myself. Why don't we eat together?"
Chu Shiyu turned his head slightly and glanced sideways at Liu Rusi who had been trying to pull her hand away.
Liu Rusi rolled her eyes secretly. Why should she care about her opinion in such an occasion? But King Kang was nearby, and their little actions would probably be seen. If she disagreed, wouldn't it be a disgrace to King Kang? After thinking it over in an instant, she nodded gently.
"Then let's go together." Chu Shiyu's expression softened a lot as he spoke. King Kang was still somewhat useful. He hadn't had the chance to hold Liu Rusi's hand recently, and now that he had held her, she wouldn't scold him to let go.
Chu Shikun walked behind, looking at their backs, his handsome eyes and brows showing suspicion.
Upon hearing the news, Sun Zhizhao hurried to greet Prince Duan. Seeing the two princes in question were about to enter the banquet hall together, he could not help but stand there in a daze.
"Have Qin Hao and the others eaten?" Chu Shiyu asked.
Sun Zhizhao used some of his brain power to answer Prince Duan's question: "The young master and young lady have already had dinner."
Chu Shiyu turned to Liu Rusi and said, "Then don't call them over."
Liu Rusi nodded expressionlessly.
When they were about to sit down at the dining table, Chu Shiyu rubbed the little hands that were peeling and calloused reluctantly before he had to let go.
The dishes on this table were all prepared by King Kang's men, and it was indeed as he said, a dazzling array of delicious food.
Seeing these dishes being served, Liu Rusi couldn't help but sigh secretly. It turned out that Chu Shiyu was already very simple. Regardless of how many rare ingredients there were here, the quantity alone was enough for more than ten people! And this was originally for King Kang to eat alone!
The two Chu brothers sat in the same seats as last time, but Liu Rusi sat next to Chu Shiyu because little Qin Hao was missing.
This time, Chu Shiyu didn't wait for King Kang to say anything. He picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and gave it to Liu Rusi, and started eating directly.
In order to behave politely, Liu Rusi planned to just pick up the dishes in front of her like she did last time, but she soon discovered that she didn't even have the chance to extend her chopsticks!
Chu Shiyu didn't care that there was a King Kang across from him! He picked up a piece of food for himself, and the next piece of food would definitely go into her bowl! To exaggerate, you can see his chopsticks flying all over the table!
After eating for a while, Chu Shikun couldn't help but ask, "How about calling two maids to serve the dishes?"
Chu Shiyu said nothing, but raised his auspicious phoenix eyes slightly and looked at King Kang with contempt.
Chu Shikun understood the meaning and told him not to meddle in other people's business.
"Ahem..." Liu Rusi was so embarrassed that her toes moved too much. She looked at Chu Shiyu with a pleading look on her face and said softly, "The bowl is full, no need to pick up any more food."
Since she had spoken, Chu Shiyu was satisfied and stopped. Normally, she would immediately resist when he picked up food for her. If he continued to pick up food, she would directly say out loud that she didn't like the dish he picked up, and would never touch that dish again during that meal.
While she was taking care of King Kang, he could finally get enough of this meal~
Although Liu Rusi was very unhappy with Chu Shiyu's rogue behavior, she still ate the full bowl of food he brought her, as if she was submissive. No matter how conflicting their relationship was, they were in the same group in terms of their general stance, and she couldn't let Chu Shiyu down in front of King Kang...
Liu Rusi was eating quietly. Just as she finished half of her bowl, another piece of spicy chicken fell into her bowl. She was speechless when she suddenly realized something... It seemed that the dishes he picked up were all to her taste.
But how is this possible? In order to have a balanced diet, she has never been picky about food and will eat a little of the dishes she doesn't like.
She turned her eyes to look at him quietly, and his pair of auspicious phoenix eyes seemed to sense something and immediately met her gaze!
Their eyes met briefly, and Liu Rusi looked away with her almond-shaped eyes cast aside. She whispered, "I'm full, no need to add more food."
Chu Shiyu frowned. "You eat too little."
"Eating too much at night will cause indigestion." Liu Rusi whispered softly.
"Third brother, don't just focus on how much Madam Liu has eaten. Look at how busy you are eating yourself." Chu Shikun said jokingly.
"Brother, do you have too few people to talk to on a daily basis?" Chu Shiyu sneered coldly, as if he thought he talked too much.
The usual gentleness of King Kang disappeared, and his expression suddenly turned cold! With a chill in his voice, he said faintly, "I have been living outside the capital for many years, and I rarely see you brothers. I can't help but ask about your well-being, but did I annoy my third brother?"
There is an order of seniority, but how could this suppress Chu Shiyu? He suddenly grabbed the little hand that had put down the chopsticks under the table, and said jokingly: "My brother should be returning to Beijing in the next two days, so please pay more attention to those younger brothers."
After staring for a few moments, King Kang took a sip from the wine glass. The wine warmed his throat and tongue and dispelled the coldness. He asked in a gentle voice, "Third brother, do you really not care about this?"
"If my brother really wanted to discipline me, he wouldn't use such crude methods. Don't push my calculations onto me."
Holding a small hand in his palm with just enough strength to prevent it from breaking free, Chu Shiyu looked down and rubbed the thick calluses that were about to fall off with his hands. He wanted to tear off the dead skin, but was afraid of hurting the tender flesh underneath.
Liu Rusi looked at the table calmly, but she was about to collapse in her heart! Could she be more serious when arguing with King Kang? Let her innocent dead skin go!
The beauty at the side poured wine for King Kang. King Kang reached out and grasped the hand holding the pot, playing with it and saying nonchalantly: "I'm afraid many of my brothers in the capital don't recognize me. Third brother, do you want to meet me?"
Chu Shiyu didn't even raise his eyes and said coldly: "I will go back to Beijing with a different story."
People with different ideas cannot work together. Liu Rusi understood what this meant, but she received too much information!
Is Prince Kang trying to compete with Chu Shiyu? Why is he playing with someone else's hand?! The beauty whose hand was held blushed but obediently let Prince Kang play with her as he pleased.
The other beauty had an envious look on her face. She looked at the hands in front of her and quietly moved closer to King Kang. She stretched out her chopsticks to pick up food for King Kang, and her lowered arms seemed to gently touch King Kang's clothes...
Suddenly, Liu Rusi felt her hand being lifted over the table. She turned around and saw Chu Shiyu lowering his head and lightly pecked the back of her hand.
"You are different." Ruifeng's eyes were full of true feelings.
Are you kidding me?! Liu Rusi's little volcano was about to erupt, and she was restrained by the concern of not scolding King Kang in front of him!
"bump!"
The crisp sound of utensils falling diverted Liu Rusi's attention.
But the beauty who was being played with by King Kang accidentally dropped the silver pot on the table! The wine overflowed and spilled a lot on King Kang!
The blood on the beauty's face faded! Her pale mouth opened and closed several times, but no sound came out. Then she seemed to come to her senses, immediately knelt on the ground, and frantically wiped the wine stains on King Kang's body with a handkerchief!
"It's okay. I was the one who pushed her fingers away." King Kang lowered his eyes and chuckled.
The kneeling beauty was still frightened, and the handkerchief was not enough to wipe away the soaked clothes! It was not until King Kang reached out and touched her head that she stopped wiping in vain and looked up at King Kang cautiously.
Liu Rusi, who witnessed everything, completely forgot about Chu Shiyu's anger and moved her almond-shaped eyes between the two beauties.
The possibility of discovery frightened her. Were they both deaf and dumb? How unlikely was it that both of them were extremely beautiful and were kept by King Kang, and that they were both born deaf or dumb by accident?
Prince Kang stood up and shook his front slightly, then said in a helpless and gentle voice, "I have to go change my clothes. I've just had enough food and drink. Third brother, please do as you please."
"Yeah." Chu Shiyu responded coldly.
Prince Kang left with the two beauties, leaving only the servants outside the banquet hall and Chu Shiyu and Liu Rusi inside the hall.
After a moment's silence, Chu Shiyu looked at her with concern, not knowing how to relieve her anxiety. King Kang's backyard was not something he could interfere with.
"Are all of King Kang's women...deaf and dumb?" Liu Rusi couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"Those with titles are normal. The deaf-mute ones are all beauties with bonded marriages, and are normally classified as concubines." Chu Shiyu seldom paid attention to other people's family affairs, but he had heard of these surface news.
Liu Rusi thought of Concubine Zhang, who had always been in the government office in Xingzhou but whom she had never met. It was obvious that the famous Prince Kang did not like her very much...
"How many deaf and mute beauties are there?" She knew that this was not something she could worry about, but she couldn't help but want to know.
"There should be about ten. I'll ask someone for the exact number later." Chu Shiyu felt sad. He had no way to fulfill her wish.
"No need, I just asked casually..." Liu Rusi didn't want to do anything, and the two beauties also admired the appearance of King Kang...
Cruelty to women has always been common in the world, and the more backward the society, the more so. In the feudal Daxia, King Kang's actions did not seem to be worthy of mention.
The two walked quietly on the way back to the courtyard. Looking at Liu Rusi's mixed emotions, Chu Shiyu was also filled with melancholy.
After a moment's silence, he tried to appease the king, "How about I think of a way to make King Kang take fewer beauties in the future? Or not to make him deaf and dumb with medicine."
Liu Rusi smiled helplessly and said, "What can you do? Don't worry about it. I'm just sighing."
"There is no way for now, but if you wish... everything depends on human efforts." Chu Shiyu's eyes were empty, as if he was already thinking about a plan.
Her heart was beating irregularly, and Liu Rusi subconsciously wanted to raise her hand to cover her chest, only to find that one of her hands was still in Chu Shiyu's hand.
After a moment of panic, Liu Rusi finally calmed down and changed the subject, "Let's put aside those vague things for now. Why don't we talk about this meal first? It has both meat and vegetables. Is it delicious?"
Chu Shiyu paused, and said unconvincedly: "Didn't you say that you don't have to follow this rule when sitting at the same table with King Kang?"
If it was her turn, she would have forgotten what she had said, and then she threw her hand away in frustration and said, "Let go! You've been scratching my hand all night!"
Chu Shiyu let go of his hand awkwardly and asked with concern: "It shouldn't hurt, right?"
"It's just normal peeling, no." Liu Rusi rubbed her hand a few times, trying to offset the previous touch.
"Is the moisturizer I prepared earlier useful? If not, try something else?"
After Chu Shiyu took Liu Rusi away, he bought her many things one after another. Regardless of whether she used them or not, he placed them beside her. Even if she didn't put them in her luggage, the maids and servants would help her put them away, which was equivalent to binding them to her...
"It's useful, no need to change it." Liu Rusi did use some. Daxia is indeed accomplished in skin care products. As long as they exclude those containing lead and mercury, they are all good.
When she was distracted, she suddenly felt a black screen in front of her eyes!
A slightly cool and soft touch fell on her lips, like a dragonfly touching the water, and they separated in an instant!
"Chu Shiyu!!!"
"I will continue to reduce the heat tomorrow." The tall figure quickly flashed back into the house.
