Chapter 4: Prince, do you want the child?
"Shuyi, when are we going to look for Dad again?"
"I really want to see Dad..."
My sister took out a rectangular wooden box from her small bag and said, "I have prepared a gift for Dad."
I heard that they are coming to ancient times to find their father.
Cheng Ruxu smashed his piggy bank, spent all the money inside, and bought a gift for Pei Yanli.
Even Cheng Shuyi didn't have the chance to see what was in the box.
The little girl hid it and insisted that Pei Yanli see it first.
It seems my brother also prepared a gift.
The two little ones treated their mother as an outsider before they even met their father.
"Wait a couple of days, until your father is done with his work."
Cheng Shuyi took the two children to sit at a wonton stall, "Let's eat something first, we have to find a place to stay later."
In ancient markets, there were many vendors doing business along the streets, and the sounds of shouting were constant.
There were even people performing with guns and spitting fire to make a living.
The two little ones were overjoyed when a scene that could only be seen on TV appeared before their eyes.
He used the copper coins that Cheng Ruqi had exchanged with the waiter this morning to give as a tip.
He soon forgot about his biological father.
When passing by a dental clinic, Cheng Shuyi took his two children in.
The shopkeeper came to greet us warmly, "Hey! Please come in, sir. We have houses, fields, servants, carriages, and horses. What would you like, madam?"
The owner of the pawnshop was a man in his early thirties, shrewd and capable, always holding an abacus in his hand.
The store was simply decorated, with a few business rules hanging on the wall, as well as a painting that looked like a map of Shengjing City.
However, there were quite a few books piled up on the counter.
Cheng Shuyi got straight to the point, "I want to buy a house."
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper immediately went to the counter to look for the booklet.
"What kind of person are you looking for, Madam? Are there any requirements for the location or the house?"
Cheng Shuyi glanced at the two children.
"I'm looking for a house near the academy, with at least three rooms, a yard, and a kitchen. It's best to be in the upper middle section of Changsheng Street."
After having children, we usually look for a house in a school district when moving.
The two kids have been out of school for half a month. If we don’t find a college for them to study in, they will become lazy.
As a pawnbroker in the capital, the owner has seen even the most demanding conditions.
He smiled and asked about the budget and some other things, and then confirmed the house that Cheng Shuyi wanted.
He picked up his pen and said, "From your accent, Madam, you don't seem to be from the capital. May I ask where your household registration is?"
The shopkeeper's eyes fell on the two children, as if reminding her, "If the young master and young lady want to enter the academy, they need a Beijing household registration. Does Madam have it?"
"Do you need a Beijing resident permit to enter the academy?"
Cheng Shuyi really didn't know this.
Not to mention her Beijing household registration, she was exiled six years ago and lost her household registration long ago.
She is a refugee now!
Cheng Shuyi asked tentatively, "Can you... handle household registration for me?"
The shopkeeper shook his head, indicating that he was powerless.
They are serious business!
And even if it is possible, they can only obtain agricultural or commercial registration outside the capital.
It is impossible to register as a scholar or an official.
Cheng Shuyi wanted his two children to study in academy in the capital, and they had to have Beijing household registration.
They can't run this small shop.
The household registration issue stumped Cheng Shuyi.
It seems that she has a lot of things to ask Pei Yanli for help.
Cheng Shuyi left the address of the inn to the owner of the pawnshop and left.
When we returned to the inn, it was already dark.
The two kids had a crazy day outside today and were exhausted when they returned to the inn.
After asking the shopkeeper to fetch water for me to take a bath, I lay down.
Cheng Shuyi was thinking about his next plan and couldn't fall asleep.
Half a year is too short.
How can she seduce Pei Yanli to take the position? What can she do to leave an irreplaceable support for her two children?
When you are confused and half asleep and half awake.
A man who was supposed to be enjoying his wedding night suddenly appeared at Fenglai Inn.
By her bed!
The cold sword pressed against her neck, the blade cutting through her skin.
The stinging sensation woke Cheng Shuyi who was about to fall asleep.
"who!"
She subconsciously reached out to protect the two children sleeping inside.
The moonlight outside the window was as silver as silver. The man beside the bed stood in the darkness. Cheng Shuyi could only see a tall and long black shadow.
All the valuables on her were kept in the space, and she didn't show off her wealth today.
How did thieves break in?
"What do you want..."
"Cheng, Shu, Yi!"
The man gritted his teeth and increased the strength of his sword-holding hand.
Cheng Shuyi's neck began to bleed.
This voice... Pei Yanli!
Even if it was only that night six years ago, Cheng Shuyi recognized Pei Yanli's voice.
Because that night six years ago, he said a lot of embarrassing...dirty words.
Those scenes had reappeared in her dreams many times.
It's hard for Cheng Shuyi to forget.
"Your Highness, long time no see." Cheng Shuyi stiffened his neck and greeted awkwardly, "Your wedding is tonight, how could you have time to come here?"
The shadowy figure sneered, "You still remember me, the king."
The sword on her neck was removed, and the tip of the sword lifted her chin, forcing her to look up.
Pei Yanli took a step forward and appeared in the moonlight coming in from the window.
His face was gloomy, his eyes were cold, and he seemed to be surrounded by a dark fog, which was eerie.
Pei Yanli narrowed his eyes, "Then do you still remember what I said, that I will kill you!"
Six years ago, he raided the Changyang Marquis Mansion and executed the Wang family who had usurped the throne.
Only Cheng Shuyi was spared and exiled.
Pei Yanli regretted his decision very much.
I don’t know what kind of medicine this woman gave him.
It made him inhumane from then on!
He sent people to the place where she was exiled to look for her for six years but there was no news.
Today she showed up on her own initiative!
After Pei Yanli learned the news about her, he left Sheng Tinglan who was getting married today and came to settle the score with her.
Cheng Shuyi was puzzled by Pei Yanli's inexplicable hatred.
She just took advantage of him for one night.
Didn’t he later raid her house and send her into exile?
They are even.
As for abandoning his newlywed wife and running to kill her.
Cheng Shuyi couldn't die now, "Prince, do you want the child?"
child!
Pei Yanli remembered that when the secret guard reported, he mentioned that Cheng Shuyi was accompanied by two children.
Cheng Shuyi secretly woke up the two children sleeping inside.
But unfortunately, the two children were too crazy about traveling around the capital today, and there were no cars in ancient times. They walked so much that they were so tired that they couldn't be woken up no matter how hard we shook them.
Cheng Shuyi broke down in his heart and shouted: Baby, save me!
Pei Yanli glanced at the two sleeping children and asked, "Mine?"
Cheng Shuyi said, "Yes, it's yours."
Pei Yanli was silent for a while, said nothing, and put away the sword in his hand.
Then turn and leave.
no?
He just left like that? ?
Cheng Shuyi was dumbfounded.
What does he mean? Disowning the child?
"Bastard dad!"
