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

"I was really wrong! I will never...make the same mistake again. Your porridge is cold. Do you want to get another bowl?" Chu Shiyu touched her bowl, and when she didn't respond, he waved his hand and asked Mei Hong to change the porridge.

"Godfather, why did you make mother angry again?" Little Qin Hao frowned and blamed.

Chu Shiyu glanced at him sideways, "What do you know, little brat?" It's because he knows the taste of it that it's even harder to hold back!

Seeing that Liu Rusi still didn't move after changing the bowl of hot porridge, Chu Shiyu was really getting anxious.

He squatted down beside her, looked up at her pitifully, and begged, "How about you add some more punishments? For example, you can also eat the heat-reducing meal after returning to Beijing, for an additional ten days or half a month. As long as you are not angry, a month is fine!"

Liu Rusi had been silent, wondering what to do with him. After hearing this, she was really mad at Chu Shiyu! Was the so-called punishment of the fire-reducing package used as a bargaining chip? !

"Heh...you don't need to reduce your internal heat." Liu Rusi sneered, reached out to take the coptis water from the internal heat reduction set, and said as she poured it, "I am the one who needs to reduce my internal heat."

Chu Shiyu's mind was split, and he asked in disbelief, "You want to reduce your fever?"

Seeing his expression, Liu Rusi became even angrier and shouted angrily, "Angry fire!"

His thoughts returned to normal in an instant, and he quickly pressed down the Coptis chinensis water she was about to drink. Chu Shiyu said hurriedly and softly, "This is very bitter! And I asked Doctor Ma, it's best for women not to drink it if they are fine. You should know this better than me."

"Of course it's nothing. I feel like I've been having liver fire lately, and I'm easily irritated and angry, which is very abnormal." Liu Rusi let go of the cup and picked up the teapot to drink!

Chu Shiyu hurriedly snatched the teapot and threw it directly to Zhu Qing, asking her to take it away.

"It's true! Mom used to have a good temper. As far as I can remember, she had never been angry before I met my adoptive father!" Little Qin Hao suddenly intervened, his clear black and white eyes carefully examining his adoptive father.

Chu Shiyu paused, glanced at Xiao Qinhao, turned back to look at Liu Rusi's Ruifeng eyes, and really felt wronged. He asked in a low voice with a depressed tone: "Then what should I do? I can't control myself, and I don't want to make you angry... What should I do now?"

She lowered her eyes to avoid seeing the sincerity in his eyes. She didn't know what to do. Chu Shiyu was getting more and more urgent. She tried every way to stop him from suddenly crossing the line again and again. He would surely get worse in the future...

What made her even more uneasy was that she was not as disgusted as she had imagined...

She couldn't accept being content in a gorgeous cage like those beauties of King Kang. She couldn't accept that her heart would gradually move away and finally abandon Qin Lie.

We must nip this problem in the bud. We cannot allow this to continue.

"When I get to the capital, I will buy a small house and Qin Hao, Caiyun and I will live in it." Liu Rusi said seriously. She asked Caiyun to find out secretly. The price of private houses in the capital is not high. A private house in a suitable location costs about one hundred taels, which is enough for the three of them to live in.

The grievance in Chu Shiyu's eyes was suddenly mixed with many other emotions, resistance and vigilance. Liu Rusi felt inexplicably like a child whose favorite toy was being taken away.

"We can visit each other then." Liu Rusi said calmly, trying to comfort the naughty child who was still squatting in front of her.

Who wants to visit?! They have lived together for so long, and suddenly they have to live separately. How could he agree? Chu Shiyu was a little suspicious at this time. Did she do this on purpose to make him anxious and compromise...

"Goo~"

Liu Rusi frowned. Is there something wrong with her stomach recently? She obviously doesn't feel hungry, so why is it always making noises?

"Okay, okay, I'll go back to Beijing to accompany you to buy a house. Can you have breakfast first?" Chu Shiyu wanted to feed her.

The rumbling in her stomach came at the perfect time, but Liu Rusi didn't want to joke with her body, so she turned around, picked up her chopsticks and said, "Let's have a few more vegetarian dishes in the next few days."

Reaching out to take the cold porridge away, Chu Shiyu pleaded: "I really can't eat so many dishes in one meal, can you share it later?"

"It's not for you. I really should be a vegetarian for a few days. The rumbling in my stomach might be due to indigestion." Liu Rusi took the warm porridge from Xinsheng and began to chew it slowly.

"How about we let Doctor Ma come and take a look at you?"

Liu Rusi first thought that there was no need to make a fuss, but then she felt that she should not hide her illness and avoid seeing a doctor, so she nodded. She was not good enough at taking pulses, and it was even more difficult for her to take her own pulse.

After drinking half a bowl of porridge, Liu Rusi put down the spoon. Chu Shiyu asked again: "Why do you eat so little? You didn't take much food. Have another bowl of porridge."

"I told you that you might have indigestion. You should eat less."

Chu Shiyu looked at her with disbelief, but he didn't want to argue with her for the time being. He waved for someone to call Doctor Ma in.

Doctor Ma had been waiting outside the door for a long time. When he came in, he bowed to Prince Duan first. At the same time, he heard Liu Rusi greet him enthusiastically: "Teacher Ma, I haven't been hungry for the past two days but my stomach has been rumbling. Please check my pulse to see what's wrong."

Doctor Ma nodded, took out a silk handkerchief and covered her wrist before taking her pulse...

Liu Rusi's smile froze slightly. She understood why Doctor Ma was always respectful but not familiar with her. There was a strict rule between men and women, and she had a "relationship" with Doctor Ma's boss, Prince Duan. It was just that this silk handkerchief showed all this more directly...making her start to miss Teacher Li Chunfu.

"It's a mild liver-stomach disharmony, mostly caused by emotional frustration and qi stagnation turning into fire..." Doctor Ma glanced at Prince Duan and added, "You can eat light food these days and avoid raw, cold, oily and spicy food. If it's urgent, you can prescribe a mild prescription for Madam Liu and boil one or two doses of medicine to take."

"It's just a minor illness. No need to take medicine. Thank you, Teacher Ma." Liu Rusi stood up with a smile on her face and was about to see Doctor Ma out.

Doctor Ma waved his hands repeatedly and walked away without looking back.

Liu Rusi smiled faintly and walked into the house. The problem was similar to what she had judged. She just needed to eat less and eat lighter food recently.

"Rusi..."

She could feel her sleeve being touched, and it seemed that someone was trying to pull her hand, but the big hand retracted.

Looking back, I found that Chu Shiyu was in a depressed state.

"I really won't do it again, don't take it personally."

Frustrated emotions turned into anger, and her stomach growled because of what happened after that day in the flower garden...

Because the emotions she expressed were often purposeful, and he couldn't figure out her true emotions, so he always kept a bit of suspicion when dealing with her... He thought she wasn't that disgusting.

It turns out that she really cares about it and is so depressed about it that her body is affected?

"I'm going to the front yard of the government office...to take care of some business." If she really hated and rejected him, it would make her even more upset if he stayed close to her.

Her almond eyes were calm, and she saw his emotions clearly. Liu Rusi roughly understood why he was depressed. In fact, she felt that it was not his fault, but in this situation, it might be best to let him misunderstand...

Liu Rusi nodded slightly, Chu Shiyu turned around slowly and walked out, and she also waved to little Qin Hao to go into the house.

"If you want to look for me, just let someone let me know. I'm in the front yard." Chu Shiyu turned around and gave instructions.

Her heart was a little tight, but she suppressed her slight sense of guilt and replied calmly, "Go and get busy."

Pulling his son back to the room, Xiao Qinhao first asked tentatively: "Mom, aren't you going to teach math today..."

"Um... let's stop for today. You guys learn very quickly, and there's not much left."

Liu Rusi planned to teach only up to the junior high school level, firstly because little Qin Hao was too young and she didn't want him to learn too much all at once, and secondly because she had forgotten a little and needed to recall and sort out the courses she had learned.

"Put aside your studies for now. I want to ask you, did you say that to your godfather on purpose?"

Liu Rusi could feel that Qin Hao's mind had been maturing faster in the past few months. Although he was not yet worldly-wise, he could already say things intentionally to influence others.

Little Qin Hao moved his big eyes left and right, and asked with a guilty conscience: "Isn't it okay to say that?"

Hiss, it was really intentional! Liu Rusi couldn't help but mutter that she really gave birth to a little elf. After pondering for a while, she said softly: "It's not a question of whether it's good or not...but, you'd better not get involved in the conflict between mother and your adoptive father."

"Why? My adoptive father never listens to my mother. Isn't it right for me to speak for her..." Little Qin Hao felt a little aggrieved and puzzled. Isn't it natural for him to side with his mother?

Touching her son's little head, she thought about what to say. She could see that her son was still immature, and Chu Shiyu might not be unable to see it. Although he was affected by hitting his sore spot this time, he was not someone who could be manipulated...

He always kept his claws away from them, but he could extend them at any time. As the object of courtship, he could tolerate her struggles and resistance no matter how violently.

It's not necessarily the case for little Qinhao. In fact, it's rare for Chu Shiyu to be so close to a child who is not his own. But if little Qinhao becomes an obstacle again and again... even if he doesn't hurt him directly, there are many more torments in this world beyond flesh and blood.

"Mom is very happy that Haohao wants to help mom." Liu Rusi squatted down and hugged the little guy, saying softly: "But doesn't Haohao like foster father too? If you say you are biased, it will make foster father sad."

"Haohao likes his adoptive father, but he loves his mother more." Little Qin Hao pouted. If he had to choose one person to be sad, it would be his adoptive father.

Liu Rusi chuckled a few times and said, "But mother doesn't want you to have conflicts with your adoptive father. If your adoptive father and mother have a dispute next time, you can remain neutral, okay? Then mother will be very satisfied with Haohao."

Little Qin Hao nodded. He still didn’t quite understand, but since his mother said so, he should listen to her. Otherwise, what’s the difference between him and his adoptive father?

Seeing that her son listened to her advice, Liu Rusi was relieved. With the interruption of Doctor Ma's diagnosis, Chu Shiyu should not mind it...

"By the way, has Haohao been bragging to others about how smart he is recently?"

Little Qin Hao's expression froze, his face flushed a little, but he still argued stubbornly: "Not often, and what I said is the truth, not bragging..."

Liu Rusi secretly gritted her teeth, her son was too arrogant, she really wanted to give him a beating...

In the front yard of the government office, there is a small pavilion on the corner of the side corridor of the lobby.

Chu Shiyu sat on the railing, twiddling a stick in his hand, staring at the small lotus pond under the bright sun...

"Third brother, leave all the affairs to me and enjoy yourself here." King Kang saw the man in black clothes with gold patterns in the distance and turned to walk over.

Chu Shiyu glanced at him and played with the bamboo sticks expressionlessly, not wanting to pay any attention to him.

"Haha, what's wrong? We were holding hands and kissing last night, but you're not satisfied today?" King Kang leaned on the railing on the other side, and the beauty who accompanied him stood beside him and fanned him.

"Hmph." Chu Shiyu snorted, glanced at the two delicate beauties, and sighed softly, "Can a vase that can't listen or speak satisfy you?"

Chu Shikun's eyes darkened slightly, and he stared for a while. Seeing that the faces opposite him were mostly filled with his own annoyance, he couldn't help but sneer: "It's better to have less fun than to quench your thirst with only a vague hope."

"She is different, don't compare her to me!" Chu Shiyu looked at her, his eyes hardening.

Chu Shikun's expression was warm instead. He stretched out his hand to hold the waist of a beauty, gently pushed her to the other side, and smiled softly: "What's the difference? Third brother, why don't you try it?"

The beauty was like a frightened bird, but she didn't have the courage to fly away. She couldn't hear the conversation, but she understood the meaning of the pushing and shoving, and looked back and forth at the expressions of her master and Prince Duan.

"Oh, that's different. Not to mention that I would never push her to someone else, if it were her, she would definitely break free from the hand that pushed her."

Chu Shiyu looked at the beauty and raised his chin towards King Kang. The beauty understood what he meant and looked at King Kang timidly. Seeing that there was no objection, she took small steps back to King Kang's side.

"Third brother, you are so clear about this, I think you have put a lot of thought into it." Chu Shikun leaned against the pillar and said nonchalantly, "I just don't know how much time you can spend on your main business? I can't help you with the affairs of Xingzhou City for a few days."

"Xingzhou is no longer important. My brother, just go on your own. As for how I should stay here, don't worry too much."

Chu Shiyu said, and then glanced at the beauty next to him, and said quietly: "When you climb to a high place, there will be a lot of wind noise. It is better to control the sound than to prevent it. Other people's ears can hear your own voice."

"Is this the reason why Third Brother wanted to keep others' eyes and ears open before? But it seems that Third Brother no longer practices it."

Chu Shikun paused, and then asked curiously: "Third brother, you seem to care a lot about these beauties of mine?"

Chu Shiyu was silent for a moment, then simply asked, "Brother, can you please not add any more deaf-mute people?"

Chu Shikun had a cold look on his face and said bluntly: "I didn't care about your business, but you want to meddle in other people's business?!"

It was indeed a bit too far, but Chu Shiyu still wanted to try to fulfill Liu Rusi's wish. After a moment's hesitation, he said seriously: "Almost all of the three departments of the government are under control. The charges can be big or small. Are you sure about the extent of this, my brother?"

"The crime does not warrant death." King Kang said coldly.

"If we try but don't imprison, and the case remains unsolved, is that good?"

King Kang carefully examined this somewhat unfamiliar brother, and after a while he asked, "Third brother, do you have any tricks?"

Chu Shiyu said dimly: "After all, it was me who was murdered."

“Hahaha.” King Kang laughed and shook his head. “I presented all the evidence before, but you said nothing, as if it had nothing to do with me. I had to make an extra trip and settle your accounts for many days.”

"How can we feel at ease if we don't catch the fox's tail first?" Chu Shiyu said with a cold expression: "However, the mastermind must be beheaded. Does my royal brother have any objection?"

"I'm sorry to bother you, Third Brother, for taking the initiative."

King Kang smiled gently, stood up, raised his hand to hold the beauty's shoulder, and said jokingly: "There are some beauties that I have never touched. Why don't you give them to me to quench my thirst first?"

"I told you not to become deaf and dumb. Who wants your beauty?" Chu Shiyu stood up and walked away with big strides.
