Main Characters: Yu Yuanzheng, Shangguan Ziqi
Yu Yuanzheng transmigrated into the original host on her wedding night. Upon arriving, she was immediately forced to listen to her cousin and hus...
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 a place that could house a small family and support a few servants, but it was in a bad location, a bit remote, and at the end of an alley.
"What's wrong, Sister Liu?"
"The boss was met with robbers while escorting goods last month and was beaten.
Not only will we have to pay a huge sum of money, but the boss will no longer be able to escort the convoy.
We had planned to live here for the remaining two months and then move to a smaller place." Liu Ruan was melancholy.
"How is the injury of the eldest brother of the Liu family?" Yu Zheng asked with concern.
"I lost an arm. I feel so depressed and lifeless." Liu Ruan was 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 oldest, and he has a younger brother and a younger sister. They went to deliver something to a neighbor and haven't come back yet."
"Then how will you live in the future?"
Yu Yuzheng knows that men are the backbone of a family. Once a man falls, life will be very difficult.
"Alas, I just paid three taels of silver to the escort agency, and the boss needs to hire a doctor and ask for medicine, so there is not much silver left at home.
I have to send some money back to the countryside every day to honor my parents. I have no idea what to do in the future." Liu Ruan was 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 household to earn money.
The monthly rent for this courtyard is ten taels of silver, and we will not be able to live here in two months.
The gap in life is too big.
"Is the Crown Princess here today to collect rent as well?" Liu Ruan asked Zheng Xian.
"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 would not stay here and refuse to do anything.
Yu Zheng did have the idea of taking back this courtyard, as she had a plan that required this small courtyard. But she felt a little sorry for this family.
After thinking about it, she came up with an idea.
"Sister Liu, if I ask you to do it for me, would you be willing?
If you don't move and continue to live here, I'll give you some things to do in this yard, but there's a prerequisite: you must keep everything I ask you to do intact."
"Really? Thank you, Princess. Of course I am willing to do so." As she said that, she stood up and knelt in front of Yu Yu Zheng.
"Sister Liu, there's no need to do this. Get up quickly." Yu Yuzheng 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 and worse, and he beats the children if they are a little disobedient.
He also fell in love with drinking. In just one month, he drank nearly ten taels of silver worth of wine. "
"Where is his father now?" Yu Yuzheng saw that only the mother and daughter were at home.
"Hey, he's out drinking again. His arm isn't healed yet." Liu Ruanshi couldn't control her man and could only watch him become decadent day by day.
"Bring him back."
When Liu Jiang heard this, he ran out of the room.
After a while, he was seen dragging back a man with a scruffy beard.
When he saw a fairy-like woman sitting in the living room, 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 her.
"Is it really the Crown Prince's Consort? I, Liu Mingde, have met the Crown Prince's Consort."
"I heard from your wife that you lost track of time after suffering a minor injury? Do you know the principle of being physically disabled but mentally strong? You have three children who are not yet grown up. Are you just going to ignore them?" Yu Yuzheng questioned her harshly.
It is terrible when a person gives up on himself.
At this time, I especially need someone to give me some guidance.
Yu Zheng’s words startled Liu Mingde, who then raised his right arm, of which only the upper half was left.
I stared blankly for a long time.
"Princess Princess, I supported my family with my martial arts. Now that I have lost this hand, I can no longer use martial arts, so how can I support my family?" Liu Mingde's tone, which was full of vicissitudes, made people feel sad.
There are indeed not many people who can face setbacks 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 upset these days.
"Being a bodyguard is like making a living on the edge of a knife. You should be mentally prepared for this day to come. Since you chose to do this job, you must have the courage to accept the reality."
Yu Zheng made him face life head on.
"Yes, I was mentally prepared, but when this day finally came, it was really hard to accept.
I felt so upset that I just let myself go for a few days.
Mother, I made you worry. When my arm is healed, I will work as a porter at the docks 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 it in his heart.
Yu Zheng listened to his last sentence and nodded.
This person still has some good points, he is responsible.
"Okay, Liu Zhuangshi, 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, and I will pay you wages, just in this yard. Are you 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.
"No, you have a foot. And another hand, so you can do it."
"Thank you, Princess." Liu Mingde bowed respectfully.
At this moment his spirit suddenly changed. Although he was still in the same shape as before, his energy and spirit were completely different from before.
A man who often fights for money has a murderous aura.
As long as he has the fighting spirit, the passion for life will naturally return.
"I'll write you a list later and you'll prepare the things according to my requirements.
This is Chunlei, he is my chief steward, you can contact him if you have any questions in the future.
You have to protect my identity. This place is quite remote, so you can just do it with the door closed.
Maybe I will add more people later, and I won’t charge you rent for this yard, you can just live there.
But you have to make some room.”
"Yes, 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 another life." Liu Mingde was deeply moved.
He never thought that when he was at the lowest point in his life, he would meet a noble person who helped him.
He found paper and pen, wrote two identical contracts, and listed the obligations and responsibilities of both parties, especially the one about insurance. If the Liu family failed to do so, the whole family would be imprisoned and sued.
On the way back home, Zi Yue asked her doubts: "Miss, what exactly do you want to do for the Liu family?"
