Seeing the beauty being so weak and gentle, Shi Dalang felt soft. If it wasn't broad daylight, he really wanted to do it to her right now.
"Hey, wife, I just have a loud voice, that's all. Just drink this medicine."
Chen Jingxi suppressed her nausea, took the bowl of medicine from him, brought it to her lips, took a sip, and then frowned.
"Why is this medicine so bitter? How can I drink it? Is there any sugar?"
"It's just a drink of medicine, why is there so much trouble?"
"If there's no sugar, I won't take this medicine."
Shi Dalang thought for a moment and said, "Wait a moment, I'll get it for you."
Chen Jingxi nodded and watched Shi Dalang walk out of the room. She tried to get up, but her hands and feet were too weak to get out of bed. She angrily pounded the bed.
Suddenly thinking of something, he quickly scattered the bowl of medicine under the bed.
At this time, an argument broke out from next door: "It's just a medicine, why are you eating candy?"
"That's right, Mom, this candy is so expensive, why should I give it to her?"
"Oh, I shouldn't have bought her earlier. Looking at her condition, I can tell she's too weak to lift or carry. I wasted five taels of silver in vain."
"Mom is just a piece of candy. As long as my wife can take the medicine and get better soon, you can have your grandson sooner."
When she heard about her grandson, Aunt Shi's eyes lit up. She would be willing to give not only one piece of candy but even a pound of candy as long as she could hold her grandson soon.
"Can I really hold my grandson?"
Shi Dalang said in a somewhat obscene manner: "Mother, look at her body, she is a good fertile woman."
Aunt Shi thought about it and decided that she bought her because she was attracted by her round butt and thought she must be able to give birth to a son.
"Okay, take it."
"Mom, I want to eat one too."
"What are you eating, you dead girl? Why are you so greedy? Go and light a fire and cook. Do you want to starve me to death?"
"Mom, you are biased."
"If you say that again, I'll beat you up."
Shi Dalang came back with the candy. Chen Jingxi held the bowl and pretended to drink it all in one gulp. Then she yelled, "Give me the candy quickly."
Shi Dalang happily put the candy into her mouth and licked his hand.
When Chen Jingxi saw him grinning, revealing his yellow teeth, her stomach suddenly started churning. Although she was not a fangirl, if she looked at Shi Dalang for one more moment, she felt like she could skip dinner.
Maybe she had been eating too well recently, which gave her the illusion that everyone in the world was as good-looking as Brother Chu Jinghuai.
"Ahem, Dalang, I'm a little sleepy. You go out first."
"Okay, take a rest. I'll call you when it's time for dinner."
After watching Shi Dalang leave, Chen Jingxi finally breathed a sigh of relief. She really couldn't stand the look in Shi Dalang's eyes and had to recover her strength as soon as possible.
In the study of Prince Su's Mansion.
Chu Jinghuai looked at the file in front of him with a stern expression and asked in a stern voice, "Is there any news from the palace?"
"We've checked the palace, and there's no secret passage we don't know about. However, there's a river in the Imperial Garden that leads to the outside of the city. I suspect the princess left the palace from there, and that's why she escaped the guards' inspection."
"The little eunuch who delivered the imperial edict?"
“Disappeared.”
Chu Jinghuai sneered, "Very good."
Ling Ying was sweating profusely. The princess had disappeared, and the prince's temper was becoming more and more frightening. He would rather be scolded than listen to the prince's few words without any emotion.
"What else?"
"Also, the Emperor knew about the Princess' disappearance in the palace. He reprimanded the Imperial Guards and sent some people to search the palace. The Queen also secretly sent people to look for her, but it seems she doesn't know the Princess's whereabouts either. The others haven't made any moves. The Princess has been imprisoned by the Queen, and the maidservant around her seems to be someone special."
Chu Jinghuai sneered, "You are truly my good sister. Find a way to bring that maid back."
"Yes." Ling Ying hesitated for a moment and then said, "Your Highness, the Ninth Prince is also missing. Could this be related to him?"
"Jingyue?" Chu Jinghuai lowered his brows and thought for a moment before saying, "Don't worry about him."
"yes."
"Wife, get up quickly and eat." Shi Dalang was standing in front of the bed with food in his hand, smiling.
Chen Jingxi sighed in her heart. She was not actually asleep, but was just thinking about something with her eyes closed. She stretched her waist and found that she had regained some strength than before.
"Okay, where do you put it? I'll eat it later."
Shi Dalang said cheerfully, "How about I feed you, and then Erya can wash the dishes after you finish eating."
Chen Jingxi rolled her eyes without disguising herself, "No, give it to me, I'll eat it myself."
Looking at the porridge in the bowl, which was so thin that there were only a few grains of rice, and some vegetables on top, Chen Jingxi casually ate a few bites and finished it.
Shi Dalang smiled as he watched her finish her meal, then took the bowl and went out. After a while, he came back and closed the door.
Chen Jingxi suddenly felt something was wrong.
Sure enough, Shi Dalang said, "Wife, let's take a rest." Then he rushed towards Chen Jingxi.
Although Chen Jingxi was aware of it, her body was still soft and she couldn't escape at all. She was pressed down by Shi Dalang. The stench of sweat from his body hit her in the face, and she immediately vomited the porridge she had just drunk.
Shi Dalang's face turned black when he saw this. He raised his hand and slapped Chen Jingxi, "How dare you vomit on me, you little bitch!"
Chen Jingxi touched half of her face and stared at him intently, just when Shi Dalang wanted to move closer again.
She said gently, "Dalang, I didn't mean to vomit all over you. You know I'm not well yet, so it's normal to feel dizzy and want to vomit."
Shi Dalang frowned. When the human trafficker sold her to him, he didn't tell her that she had any disease. The human trafficker just gave her the medicine because he said it could prevent her from escaping.
While he was thinking, Chen Jingxi said, "Dalang, I'm not well yet. Why are you so impatient? If you hurt me, you'll lose more than you gain."
Shi Dalang hesitated for a moment.
Chen Jingxi continued, "What is our relationship now?"
"You are my wife, and I am your man."
"No, please sit down and listen to me." Chen Jingxi said solemnly: "We didn't have a matchmaker or six engagements, nor did we get married in a ceremony, so how can I be considered your wife?"
A question mark lingered on the back of Shi Dalang's head. He knew marrying a wife required three matchmakers and six betrothals, but he had never seen such a hassle in marrying a prostitute. "Why is it that even in your profession, becoming a good woman requires this?"
Becoming a good woman? Chen Jingxi was shocked. If she understood correctly, this was a term only used by prostitutes.
"Dalang, how do you know I am..." She really couldn't say those words.
Shi Dalang smiled and said, "That's not a big deal. You're so pretty and well-dressed. I saw you when I passed by Huixianglou. But don't worry, since I bought you, I won't dislike you."
Chen Jingxi thought to herself: You are such a good person, but you still dislike me.
"Dalang, even though I came from that kind of place, that woman didn't want a wedding. Since you really want to marry me, why don't you have a wedding? Or do you really despise me and don't want to marry me in a formal way?"
