She married a dying prince and she won three babies.
Chapter 25: Taking on a Family as a Long-term Worker
Several people walked into the hall and sat down while talking.
This is a courtyard with only one entrance. Although it has only one entrance, it is not small, with three main rooms, two side rooms, and a back house.
It was the kind that could house a small family and even support a few servants, but it was in a bad location, very remote, and at the end of an alley.
"What's wrong, Sister Liu?"
“The boss was on a escort mission last month when he encountered robbers and was injured.
Not only will we have to pay a huge sum of money, but the boss will no longer be able to escort the convoy in the future.
We had been planning to live here for the remaining two months and then move to a smaller place." Liu Ruan felt melancholy.
"How is Brother Liu injured?" Yu Yuanzheng asked with concern.
"I lost an arm. I felt so depressed and lifeless." Liu Ruan was very sad to encounter such a big setback in her life, but she did not look sad.
It can be seen that he is an optimistic person.
"How many children does Sister Liu have?"
"There are three of them. Jiang Ge'er is the eldest, and he has a younger brother and a younger sister. He went to a neighbor's house to deliver something and hasn't come back yet."
"Then how will you live in the future?"
Yu Yuanzheng knew that men were the backbone of a family. Once a man fell, life would be very difficult.
"Hey, I just paid the escort agency three hundred taels of silver, and the boss still needs to hire a doctor and ask for medicine, so there is not much money left at home.
Every year, I have to send some back to the countryside to honor my parents, but I have no idea what to do in the future.” Liu Ruan was very disappointed.
As a woman, she didn't know how she would make a living in the future. The whole family depended on the head of the family's escort team to earn money.
The monthly rent for this courtyard is ten taels of silver, and it will be uninhabitable in two months.
The gap in life is too big.
"Is the Crown Princess here today to collect rent as well?" Liu Ruan asked about the business.
"I'm not here to collect rent. I just married into the Rongwang Mansion, and the Bo Mansion gave this place to me as my dowry. I don't know what kind of courtyard it is. So I came to take a look."
"That's good. We'll stay here for two more months and then move out." Liu Ruanshi wouldn't stay there.
Yu Yuanzheng did have the idea of reclaiming the courtyard, as she had a plan that would require it. But seeing this family, she felt a little sorry for them.
After thinking about it, she came up with an idea.
"Sister Liu, if I ask you to help me with something, would you be willing?
You don't have to move, just continue living here. I'll give you some work to do in this yard, but there's one prerequisite: whatever I ask you to do must be kept strictly confidential."
"Really? Thank you, Princess. Of course I am willing." As she said that, she stood up and knelt in front of Yu Yuanzheng.
"Sister Liu, there's no need to do this. Get up quickly." Yu Yuanzheng found it really hard to adapt to the ancient people's custom of kneeling down at every turn.
"Princess, you saved our family.
You don't know, ever since the head of the family lost his arm, his temper has been getting worse day by day, and he beats the children if they are even slightly disobedient.
He also fell in love with drinking. In just one month, he drank nearly ten taels of silver worth of wine."
"Where is he now?" Yu Yuanzheng saw that only the mother and daughter were at home.
"Hey, he went out drinking again. His arm isn't healed yet." Liu Ruanshi couldn't control her man and could only watch him become more decadent day by day.
"Go and call him back."
When Liu Jiang heard this, he ran out.
Not long after, he was seen dragging back a man with a scruffy beard.
When he saw a fairy-like woman sitting in the hall, he suddenly sobered up.
"Master, this is the Crown Prince's Consort from Prince Rong's Mansion. Come and pay your respects." Liu Ruan introduced.
"Is she really the Crown Prince's Consort? I, Liu Mingde, have met the Crown Prince's Consort."
"I heard from your wife that you have lost track of time because of an injury? Do you know the principle of having a strong mind despite being physically disabled? You still have three children who are not yet grown up. Are you just going to ignore them?" Yu Yuanzheng asked sternly.
It is terrible when a person gives up on himself.
This is when you especially need someone to give you some pointers.
Yu Yuanzheng's words startled Liu Mingde, who then raised his right arm, of which only the upper half remained.
I stared blankly for a long time.
"Princess Princess, I have supported my family by carrying convoys with my martial arts skills. Now that I have lost this hand, I can't hold a weapon. How can I support my family?" Liu Mingde's tone, full of vicissitudes of life, made people feel sad.
When faced with setbacks, there are indeed not many people who can truly face them calmly, and many people will become devastated.
"Master..." Liu Ruan's heart choked, not knowing how to comfort her husband. She knew that her husband had been feeling very uncomfortable these days.
"As a bodyguard, you're living on the edge of life. You should be mentally prepared for this day to come. Since you chose this line of work, you must have the courage to accept reality."
Yu Yuanzheng made him face life head-on.
“Yes, I was mentally prepared, but when the day finally came, it was really hard to accept.
I felt so bad that I indulged myself for a few days.
"Mother, I've made you worry. When my arm is healed, I'll go to the docks and carry heavy bags to support you and your children."
Liu Minde's eyes suddenly turned red and tears began to flow.
He didn't give up on life completely, but he just hadn't gotten over the hurdle in his heart.
Yu Yuanzheng nodded after hearing his last sentence.
This person still has some good points, he is responsible.
"Okay, Mr. Liu, I have something to discuss with you. Before you came back, I told your wife that you and your family can work for me in the future. I will pay you wages, right here in this yard. Are you willing?"
"I'm willing, I'm willing, but can I do it even though I'm missing one hand?" Liu Mingde was afraid that his disability would have an impact.
"It's okay, you have a foot. And another hand, so you can do things."
"Thank you, Princess." Liu Mingde bowed respectfully.
At this moment, his spirit suddenly changed. Although he still looked like he hadn't cleaned up for many days, his spirit and energy were completely different from before.
Men who have been escorting goods for many years have a murderous aura.
As long as he has the fighting spirit, the passion for life will naturally return.
"I'll write a list for you later, and you'll prepare the things according to my requirements.
This person is Chunlei, he is my chief steward. You can contact him for many things in the future.
You must keep my identity confidential. This place is quite remote, so you can just do your work behind closed doors.
Maybe I will add more people later, and I won’t charge you rent for this yard anymore, just live here.
But you have to make some room.”
"Yes, Crown Princess."
"Let's sign a contract first, and you will be mine from now on.
Of course, I don't mean to ask you to sell your bodies, I just want to hire you as long-term workers.
But I can guarantee that your family will have no problems living.”
"Thank you, Princess, for giving me a new life." Liu Mingde was very touched.
Unexpectedly, when he was at the lowest point in his life, he met a noble person who helped him.
They found paper and pen and wrote two identical contracts, outlining the obligations and responsibilities of both parties. The confidentiality clause was especially clear. If the Liu family failed to comply, the entire family would be imprisoned and sued.
On the way back, Zi Yue asked her doubts: "Miss, what exactly do you want to do with the Liu family?"
