Office worker Chen Jingxi transmigrated to become the timid and weak Princess Consort Su, who had been a living widow for three years.
A living widow, a princess consort? Isn't this the i...
Chen Jingxi said: "What conditions?"
Lu Ting'an said vaguely, "Give me a few days."
"What conditions?"
Lu Ting'an whispered again, "Give me a few days."
Listening to Lu Ting'an's soft, mosquito-like voice, Chen Jingxi said impatiently, "What conditions? Can you please explain it more clearly? Don't be such a grown man and talk like a mosquito."
Lu Ting'an was so angry that he wanted to scratch someone. He repeated loudly, "I said give me a few days! Give me a few days! Didn't you hear me clearly?"
Chen Jingxi burst out laughing, "I hear it clearly now."
Lu Ting'an was so angry that his teeth were itching but he could do nothing. He called the servant behind him to come forward, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and wrapped his face.
I really can't afford to lose face.
Chen Jingxi was speechless after watching his actions, but still asked, "Is this necessary?"
"Is it your business?"
Chen Jingxi spread his hands, he really couldn't control it.
She looked Lu Ting'an up and down again and teased him, "Aren't you the most extravagant playboy in the capital? How come you can't even come up with ten thousand taels?"
Lu Ting'an defended himself, "I'm the number one playboy, yes, but who says a playboy has to be rich?"
Chen Jingxi chuckled and retorted, "A playboy without money? Then how do you get by? This doesn't fit your personality. I heard that playboys spend money like water and are surrounded by beautiful women. But you can't even come up with ten thousand taels."
Lu Ting'an snorted coldly, "Who said I rely on money? I rely on my father's power and status. Unlike you, who always carries five thousand taels on you like a nouveau riche."
After hearing this, Chen Jingxi was not angry at all. Instead, he smiled even more proudly: "I am happy with it. What's it to you? I have money and I like to show off."
Lu Ting'an glanced at Chen Jingxi with disdain, "Are you rich?"
Chen Jingxi smiled and said, "You're right, I'm really rich."
Lu Ting'an asked, "Since you are so rich, there is no reason for me not to know you. Where are you from?"
"What's wrong? Why do you care who I am? Humph, you've been in the capital for so many years and you don't know me. That only shows that you are short-sighted."
Lu Ting'an was choked by Chen Jingxi's words and was speechless. He glared at Chen Jingxi, but did not dare to get angry. He could only secretly remember this in his heart.
His eyes rolled, as if he had thought of something. "Where do you live? What's your name? I'll send the money to you in a few days."
Chen Jingxi answered casually: "Yicui Tower, Chen Er."
Lu Ting'an asked in disbelief: "Your name is this? Chen Er? This... this is too..."
Chen Jingxi shrugged and said helplessly, "Yeah, don't you believe it? Your parents gave you your name, there's nothing I can do about it."
The corner of Lu Ting'an's mouth twitched, and he made a "two" gesture. "Your parents are so talented. This name is simple and easy to write, haha."
Seeing this, Chen Jingxi couldn't help but laugh and said jokingly, "If you're envious, you can go back and change your name. Lu One, Lu Two, Lu Three, Four, Five, pick a number you like."
Lu Ting'an: "..."
He finally understood that this guy was more eloquent and shameless than him.
He couldn't win. He glanced at the battlefield and realized that he couldn't win. He wanted to go back and practice his talking skills.
Watching Lu Ting'an's departing figure, Chen Jingxi couldn't help but wonder, "Is this guy both cowardly and irritable, yet also a bit empathetic?"
He gave the money to the person and left.
After getting 12,000 taels of silver, Chen Jingxi happily went to the clinic.
As soon as she entered the door, Shen Qingluo saw her and shouted excitedly: "Big Brother! Brother really didn't lie to me. As long as I take my medicine obediently, Big Brother will come to see me!"
Chen Jingxi came over, gently pinched Shen Qingluo's fair and tender face, and said softly: "Then you must listen to your brother in the future, understand?"
"I know."
Chen Jingxi smiled and touched her head, "Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere else?"
Shen Qingluo shook her head. "Big brother, I'm much better now. Big brother, can you tell me the story of Ultraman again?"
Chen Jingxi nodded and briefly explained how Tiga subdued the monster.
After a stick of incense, Shen Qingluo transformed and shouted, "I want to become Ultraman and protect my brother."
Chen Jingxi smiled, "Before you protect your brother, you have to protect yourself first, okay?"
Shen Qingluo nodded, not quite understanding.
Chen Jingxi became serious, "Don't run around on the street anymore."
Shen Qingluo lowered her head and whispered, "I understand. I won't run around next time."
Seeing this, Chen Jingxi quickly comforted him, "I'm not trying to be mean to you. Running around on the street is very dangerous, you know?"
Shen Qingluo nodded. "Brother told me not to run around, otherwise he wouldn't be able to find me. That day I...I didn't mean to run in front of the carriage. I just saw a bun in the middle of the road and thought of picking it up and giving it to brother. He wouldn't be hungry after eating it."
Hearing this, Shen Chengzhi on the side could no longer hold back, his eyes reddened, and he hugged Shen Qingluo tightly, his voice choked: "Silly sister, brother is not hungry, don't pick up things for me anymore, understand?"
Shen Qingluo responded with "OK".
Chen Jingxi frowned slightly, a trace of heartache and confusion flashed in his eyes, "Have you always lived by begging?"
She remembered that the imperial court had a special place to adopt orphans, widows, lonely poor people and beggars.
Shen Qingluo said, "Big brother, we were in the orphanage before, but there were too many people there. We were always hungry and were beaten, so you took me away."
Chen Jingxi looked at Shen Chengzhi.
Shen Chengzhi nodded silently.
In order to confirm the truth of the matter, Chen Jingxi asked the guards to take her to the orphanage.
The guard thought he had misheard and asked again before he was sure that it was the place Chen Jingxi was talking about.
They now don’t know whether they should take people with them. If they don’t go, they cannot disobey their master’s orders.
Go ahead. The orphanage is not a place for ordinary people to go. There are all kinds of people there. If anything happens, they will have no way out.
The guard wanted Han Yu to persuade Chen Jingxi.
But Han Yu spread her hands, indicating that she had no choice and could not persuade the princess to make her decision.
The guard sighed and could only drive towards the orphanage.
