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

Chapter 119 Being drugged

"Southwest Province's top scholar, Yue Ziqian and his wife Lin Qingzhi are here to congratulate you!"

The admiration in Ruifeng's eyes disappeared, and was replaced by vigilance and coldness. Chu Shiyu remembered that he had met Yue Ziqian at the Qixi Lantern Festival, and this man made him inexplicably feel a sense of crisis!

“When did you invite anyone?”

Chu Shiyu still had a gentle expression on his face. It was only when Yue Ziqian brought his wife with him that he restrained himself from expelling him directly.

"Mr. Yue is currently teaching Qin Hao. We invited him to familiarize himself with the class and then teach here in the future." Liu Rusi answered as a matter of course.

Chu Shiyu paused. They had just said that they had invited a lecturer!

He once said that even if Liu Rusi didn't accept him, she wouldn't have another man! He said so, and he always did so, keeping her in his territory! Not letting any possible competitors get close!

But recently he deliberately resisted the feeling of closeness to Qin Hao and didn't care about Qin Hao's affairs! He didn't even know that Yue Ziqian had become Qin Hao's husband!

"Greetings, Madam Liu, and His Royal Highness Prince Duan." Yue Ziqian and Lin Qingzhi both saluted meticulously.

"Rusi, aren't you going to open a women's clinic? It's not appropriate to invite male guests, right?" Chu Shiyu said with a wry smile.

"Men are not allowed in the female clinic. There is no such thing in the house. Aren't there many men?" Liu Rusi said as she looked Chu Shiyu up and down, meaning, aren't you a man too?

A pair of beautiful eyes swept over him meaningfully, and Chu Shiyu felt his whole body burning, and he quickly avoided her gaze. He himself was not a lustful person, so it must be Qin Lie's love that was causing trouble...

Yue Ziqian and his wife handed over the gift and walked towards Qin Hao.

Chu Shiyu's guard eased a little, and his thoughts turned to "many"... The guards he brought with him put the big things in place and retreated to the stable... Are those guards who have been castrated also considered men in her eyes?

"Do you know Madam Liu?" Shen Yuqin's voice in the living room was a little higher.

"That day was the first time they met." It was Fang Qiu who answered for him.

Shen Yuqin adjusted her elegant and calm demeanor again, covered her mouth and smiled, "Mrs. Liu suddenly spoke up that day, and came to celebrate again today. I thought Mr. Yue and Mrs. Liu had a long history... and judging from her appearance and temperament, she is better than your wife..."

Hearing this, everyone in the hall couldn't help but look between Liu Rusi, Yue Ziqian and Lin Qingzhi.

Lin Qingzhi's indifferent temperament is a good match for Yue Ziqian, but she only has delicate facial features and is covered with scars. Standing next to the handsome Yue Ziqian, there is a huge difference between them.

But Liu Rusi, who is a little further away, is also outstanding in appearance. Although she is not well-educated, she looks like a perfect match between a charming woman and a cool scholar...

"If you can't control your mouth, get out now!"

Chu Shiyu scolded Shen Yuqin coldly, strode to the other side of Liu Rusi, and his possessive arrogance snatched away Yue Ziqian's presence, shifting people's attention to him and Liu Rusi.

"They are a good match..." Chang Ning murmured. She did care about the comments that her cousin was a close relative. After struggling with it for more than ten days, she was able to calmly evaluate it from an outsider's perspective.

Chu Shiyu's face became even darker. Also?

Fang Qiu frowned for a while. She still liked Prince Duan... If she wanted to do it, she would do it. She suddenly stood up and inserted herself between the two of them. She took Liu Rusi's hand and said, "What does your female clinic look like? Let's go and take a look?"

"Okay!"

Liu Rusi had wanted to retreat a long time ago! What kind of strange Shura field?! Then she invited Chang Ning and Lin Qingzhi: "Let's go and take a look together. Women can enter there."

Lin Qingzhi looked at her husband. Yue Ziqian nodded slightly, and she walked slowly even though several people were approaching. It seemed that he intentionally ignored the words that hurt her and did not take them seriously.

A group of women walked towards the women's clinic on the west side of the front yard. Chu Shiyu stared at Fang Qiu holding Liu Rusi's hand, and followed them unconsciously...

"Men are not allowed."

Liu Rusi's attitude was firm, but then she said softly, "Your Majesty, why don't you go to the main hall and have Qin Hao and Mr. Yue sit with you for a while?"

The feeling of discomfort was already full! But her request was reasonable... Chu Shiyu nodded slightly, and turned back to the living room with a cold air all over his body.

Liu Rusi had no intention of inviting Shen Yuqin, but since no one said it explicitly, she followed the group to the women's clinic. When she saw Prince Duan walking back, she immediately stopped.

"Maybe the sedan chair I'm sitting in is a bit stuffy and hot. I feel dizzy. Let's go back to the hall and sit for a while."

No one cared about what she was going to do. After hearing this, Fang Qiu sneered and said, "We are going to a women's clinic. If you feel uncomfortable, why don't you let Madam Liu take a look at you?"

"This... my condition is not serious. Can Madam Liu see it?" Shen Yuqin felt that she spoke very well. If Madam Liu couldn't tell, she could say that her medical skills were not good!

Liu Rusi smiled, walked forward and asked Shen Yuqin to stretch out her hand. She carefully felt her pulse. After checking both hands, she said calmly, "Well, it's a bit of heatstroke. Go to the living room and drink some herbal tea to cool down."

There was nothing wrong with her! Wasn't Liu Rusi a quack? However, Shen Yuqin couldn't ruin her own career, and she just wanted to stay in the living room with Prince Duan.

After Liu Rusi finished speaking, she turned around and led a few women into the women's clinic. She wanted to stay in the living room because she had heatstroke, so she just had heatstroke. There was no harm in drinking the herbal tea anyway.

As for Chu Shiyu, Shen Yuqin can take it if she has the guts. She can even say thank you...

Several women were chatting in the women's clinic, and gradually Caiyun and Lin Qingzhi also became familiar with each other.

But in the living room outside, the atmosphere was particularly weird.

After talking to Mr. Yue for a few words, Xiao Qinhao turned the topic to learning! Although these adults seemed to have many strange entanglements, Xiao Qinhao was not interested. Learning was still his favorite!

Chu Shiyu sat on the other side of the living room, looking at the opposite side coldly, feeling uncomfortable! Before coming to Beijing, Qin Hao had questions to ask, and his first choice was to find him!

However, he deliberately distanced himself from Qin Hao... and Qin Hao was a very sensitive child. After his attitude changed, Qin Hao chose to "retaliate" and gave him a respectful but not friendly attitude.

These discomforts should come from Qin Lie...but if this continues, it seems that Liu Rusi and her son will gradually get out of control!

Yue Ziqian came here today, and he will come here every day in the name of teaching in the future! Although he will come into contact with Qin Hao, getting close to Qin Hao is equivalent to getting close to Liu Rusi! This is how he came step by step!

It is true that Yue Ziqian has a wife, but if a man is determined, even a family cannot stop him from changing his mind! There is no sign of Yue Ziqian and Liu Rusi...

But how can we allow others to sleep peacefully beside our bed? ! A powerful country with millions of soldiers next door, just because they are observing the rules, do we not need to be on guard?

"When the mind is right, then the body can be cultivated; when the body is cultivated, then the family can be in order; when the family is in order, then the country can be governed; when the country is governed, then the world can be peaceful..." Little Qin Hao read out what he had just learned recently, and then asked in confusion: "What does a harmonious family mean?"

"The focus of this article is on self-cultivation. The young marquis of the Qi family is still young, and governing the country is not something he should consider." Shen Yuqin suddenly interrupted.

Chu Shiyu then realized that Shen Yuqin had actually sat next to him, but it would be an overreaction to force her to leave as there was a square table between them.

"This interpretation is a bit biased. Managing the family is not just the business of the elders. Children who respectfully serve their parents and maintain family harmony are also managing the family. Similarly, in the future, Master Qin Hao can strive to become a pillar of the country and use his talents to assist the king, which is also governing the country."

Yue Ziqian's tone was cold and neither humble nor arrogant, but he nodded and lowered his eyebrows, and was reasonable and restrained when talking to Shen Yuqin who had spoken rudely many times.

Shen Yuqin was a little embarrassed, but she didn't know how to retort. She even found it difficult to feel disgust towards a gentle man like Yue Ziqian.

"It is indeed biased, but the first half of the sentence is correct. The focus of this article is on self-cultivation." Chu Shiyu suddenly spoke coldly.

Shen Yuqin felt that Prince Duan was speaking for her, and she couldn't help but feel surprised!

Unlike being so reserved as he was with women, Yue Ziqian raised his eyes to look at Prince Duan, his words were gentle but not timid.

"Although the main purpose of this article is to cultivate oneself, 'If you want to cultivate yourself, you must first correct your heart.' There is nothing better than having few desires to cultivate your heart. Desires come from what you can see. I hope that students can have a long-term vision and first see the family and the country, then it will be difficult for the heart not to be correct."

"Humph."

How could Chu Shiyu not hear that this was saying that his focus had strayed away from governing the country, and that he was indulging in other desires and that his heart was not right.

"Mr. Yue's explanation is too in-depth and a bit confusing. Qin Hao is just a beginner, he should first review the knowledge briefly and then go back to study it in depth."

Yue Ziqian could understand what Prince Duan meant. He was warning him not to cross the line and that he might be replaced.

"Normally, you shouldn't teach children in such depth, but ordinary children are still learning the Three Character Classic at this time... But Young Master Qin Hao is grateful and wants to study it in depth. Your benefactor invited me to teach the child, so I will naturally do my best."

Ruifeng's eyes suddenly became cold and fierce! Yue Ziqian was saying that he was hired by Liu Rusi to teach Qin Hao!

That’s right, the person who was watching the trial class at that time was Liu Rusi, and it happened to be… the two classes he didn’t see! Could it be that they had reached some agreement in advance? !

Given his concern for Liu Rusi, it was impossible for them to meet again... but it was possible! He had never read the letters between Yue Qianzhang and Liu Rusi!

"Heguang Academy is far away in the southwest! You came all the way to the capital just to teach Qin Hao?!" Chu Shiyu asked harshly!

"I came to the capital after passing the imperial examination in the southwest, but I came a little earlier to thank you for saving the lives of my wife and children." Yue Ziqian lowered his eyes and said respectfully, "My son is about the same age as the young master. Because of smallpox, he probably won't be able to take the imperial examination, so I... sincerely hope to teach the young master."

These words showed a submissive attitude, and indicated that his starting point was his own son. Chu Shiyu softened his tone a little.

"Is Mr. Yue's son the same age as me? What has he learned?" Little Qin Hao suddenly spoke up, with obvious comparison in his words.

"cough."

Yue Ziqian suddenly said with some helplessness: "My son Yue Chong is also five years old this year, but... he is lively and active, and it is difficult for him to concentrate on writing. He has only finished learning the Thousand Character Classic."

"Well, this is already very good. My uncle finished learning the Three Character Classic when he was five years old." Little Qin Hao said the soothing words, but he was smiling and full of pride.

Chu Shiyu couldn't help but curl his lips. Yue Ziqian was talented, but his son lost... His face darkened again! Qin Hao was not his son! Why was he so happy? !

"Your Highness, your future son will definitely be extremely smart." Shen Yuqin said softly. Prince Duan should have many children, and she hoped that she could give birth to the best one...

Chu Shiyu didn't even look at her. He just picked up the herbal tea and drank it slowly to calm himself down. He considered the question that suddenly popped up in his mind: Will he and Liu Rusi have a child?

He had not considered this issue yet. Firstly, he was still far away from it. Secondly, he was a little afraid of the dangers of childbirth for a woman and that it might take her away... But now he knew that this worry was most likely caused by Qin Lie's attachment to her.

However, this concern is reasonable.

Chu Shiyu suddenly realized... he couldn't really separate his feelings from Qin Lie, especially when it came to Liu Rusi's safety, he and Qin Lie were no different and both hoped that she would stay away from all dangers.

If you love someone, you must hope that she is safe. If he denies this, it is equivalent to denying all his feelings for Liu Rusi, so what is the point of being deadlocked here?

Ruifeng looked at Qin Hao who started to discuss academic matters again. Also, is it really okay to continue to deliberately exclude Qin Hao like this? He knew that Qin Hao was the key to Liu Rusi. In recent days, he had noticed that his relationship with Liu Rusi was regressing...

He was just planning to wear away the obsession that Qin Lie had attached to him, and then recover the part that had regressed. But there were two problems with this. First, could it really be completely eliminated in this way? Second, would it regress to a point where it could not be recovered?

But it is really hard to tolerate when you find that others are placing their affection on you!

If I had known, I wouldn't have asked Tang Zang! I felt pretty good when I didn't know!

There is still a struggle in my mind.

Chu Shiyu suddenly felt hot and his body's restlessness disturbed his thoughts. This feeling was not unfamiliar. He had suffered this kind of torment during the seduction before going to the Imperial Observatory...

But Liu Rusi is not here now, and I didn’t have any worldly thoughts just now, so why did it suddenly become like this?

He picked up the cup and wanted to drink some cold tea, but the cup stopped at Chu Shiyu's mouth. Ruifeng lowered his eyes and looked at the cup. There seemed to be a little powder condensation on the edge...

Putting the teacup back on the table, Chu Shiyu sneered and said, "Come here, tie up Shen Yuqin and her maid."

The teachers and students on the opposite side who were concentrating on their studies stopped in surprise.

Shen Yuqin was stunned in disbelief. Isn't it very difficult to resist this drug? Wouldn't it be solved first? Why would they kidnap someone directly? Then she reacted and shouted quickly: "It's not me!"

"Did you tell me what it was? Just tell me it wasn't you?"

How dare such a stupid person drug him?! Chu Shiyu became even more angry. How could such a stupid person successfully drug him?!

Several strong guards rushed in and wanted to tie up Miss Shen and the two maids!

Shen Yuqin waved her hands in protest and shouted, "I am an unmarried woman, you can't touch me at will!"

The guards mercilessly grabbed and twisted the thin arm, and said in a slightly shrill voice without any emotion: "We are all without mortal roots, so you can rest assured."

Chu Shiyu turned a deaf ear to the woman's pleas for mercy and said to the idle servant, "Report to the authorities immediately and say that someone has poisoned this prince."

"It's not poison! It's just something... just to liven up the atmosphere! It has absolutely no harm to the body!" Shen Yuqin explained hurriedly. If this were to be considered as an attempt to murder Prince Duan, her Shen family would suffer!

"Shut your mouth, don't let the children hear you talking nonsense."

Chu Shiyu first glanced at Qin Hao, and seeing that he still looked puzzled, he breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, he noticed several women coming in from the front yard. One of them was the person he couldn't leave behind for a moment.

Just one look at that charming face, and the heat that had been suppressed suddenly burst into flames!

Destroy the sanity that you hold on to completely!
