Chapter 152 Him? Him! He already has a grown son?!
(Thanks to LiLi who loves chocolate for voting with one monthly ticket.)
"Young Master, I probably can't afford to pay for this horse!"
Looking at the dead horse on the ground, Liu Tan looked up at Li Shiyue and said, "No need to pay."
Then a loud wailing and crying started from the entrance of the training ground.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
What's wrong, Your Highness? Your Highness!
"Young Master! Young Master!"
Four or five richly dressed women squatted on the ground and shouted loudly at Liu Shu, who was holding a baby. Li Shiyue, who was listening nearby, found it annoying.
"Shut up! All of you, shut up!"
After scolding the women, Liu Tan strode over to Liu Shu. He crouched down to look at her, and Liu Shu, hunched over, bared her teeth and called out to Liu Tan, "Brother."
Li Shiyue also went over and squatted down next to Liu Tan. She looked at Liu Shu apologetically and said, "Your Highness, I was so anxious to save people that I had to kick you aside."
I'm holding back; at most, I'll just get a bruise and it'll hurt for a couple of days..."
Before Li Shiyue could finish speaking, Li Chunli, who was standing behind her, yelled "Aww!" and pointed her finger at Li Shiyue, shouting, "Li Shiyue!"
You're finished!
How dare you hit the Crown Prince!
If anything happens to the prince, you can expect to pay with your life!
Good heavens, my jealousy level was only 15% yesterday, but now it's skyrocketing and heading straight for the top.
As soon as Li Chunli finished speaking, the number jumped to 89%!
Li Shiyue was stunned as she listened to the constant ringing in her head.
"Um, could it be that I'm the chosen one or something?"
As for that so-called "chosen one," after doing these missions, I feel like Liu Shu and Li Chunli are my lucky stars!
It's making me want to stay in the prefectural city; maybe I can even grind points every day there.
Li Shiyue was speechless after being rebuked and slammed by Li Chunli. Li Chunli, on the other hand, was like a victorious rooster, puffing out her chest and gesturing with her belly, and spoke up again to Li Shiyue: "Li Shiyue, don't look so innocent. I think you had this all planned out from the moment you met the prince yesterday."
You're such a loser...
"Shut up!"
Li Shiyue looked down at Liu Shu, who had shouted those words through gritted teeth. She felt that she should have kept quiet at this moment; the more she said, the more mistakes she would make. On someone else's turf, she should just play it safe.
Moreover, Liu Tan would absolutely not allow Li Shiyue to get into trouble in the Prince's mansion.
Even if it were Liu Shu, it's a fact that Li Shiyue saved him. In that situation, if it weren't for Li Shiyue's kick, he would have been hit and trampled by the horse's hooves. Not to mention his arms and legs, he might not have been able to save his life.
Not only could he not criticize Li Shiyue, he also had to thank Li Shiyue, and he had to express his gratitude in a high-profile manner!
Otherwise, if something happens to him again as the heir apparent, who can he expect to risk their life to save him?
Liu Shu turned to look at Li Shiyue, who was pretending to be frightened by Li Chunli's scolding. He forced a smile despite the pain in his waist: "Madam Li, we owe you a lot today. Don't worry, the Prince's Mansion will reward you handsomely for saving me and Shou'er!"
Li Shiyue followed Liu Shu's gaze to the little boy who was still in his arms. The little boy, named Shouge'er, seemed to only realize what was happening now. After receiving Liu Shu's concerned look, the little boy, who had been silent and pouting, suddenly burst into tears.
At this moment, Li Shiyue had not yet realized that something was wrong.
She assumed the child was from the Prince's mansion.
After all, Liu Tan and Liu Shu are quite different in age. The Prince of Zhenbei is a strong man in his forties. It is quite normal for Liu Tan and Liu Shu to have a younger brother who is only one or two years old.
But what Liu Shu and Liu Tan said next left her dumbfounded, her mouth agape, speechless.
"Zhao Da!"
"Have someone carry the young master back, find the Liu family physician, and inform the Princess Consort that these old women have not taken good care of the young master, and send someone to fetch him."
Zhao Da quickly called for help, and a stretcher was brought over. But as soon as Shou Ge'er saw Liu Shu about to leave, he reached out to hug her and cried his heart out. Even Li Shiyue, who was watching from the side, couldn't bear it.
Liu Shu had no choice. After looking around, he said to Liu Tan, "Brother, why don't we let them—" Liu Shu pointed to the women kneeling on the ground, "take Shou Ge'er and come back with me first?"
Liu Tan did not nod in agreement. He stepped forward and immediately put both hands under Shou Ge's armpits, lifting him up into the air.
Shouge cried with snot and tears streaming down his face, his two little legs tumbling about in the air.
Helpless, Liu Shu could only lie on her side on the stretcher and say to Shouge'er, who was crying pitifully, "Shouge'er, don't cry. Your father is going to see the doctor. Your grandmother will send someone to pick you up soon, and you'll be able to see your father again."
After saying this, Liu Tan nodded, and Zhao Da directed people to carry Liu Shu away from the training ground at a rapid pace.
Li Chunli, who had been reprimanded by Liu Shu, stood there awkwardly. She looked at Li Shiyue, then at Shouge'er in Liu Tan's hands, and then at her own slightly protruding belly. Thinking about what had just happened, she wisely shut her mouth and stood beside the old women kneeling on the ground.
Li Shiyue, however, looked at Shou Ge'er, who had stopped crying, with a look of horror. She swallowed hard, looked at Shou Ge'er's eyebrows and eyes, and then looked at Liu Tan.
"Young Master, is this child the Heir Apparent's child?"
Given Shouge'er's special status, Liu Tan couldn't hand him over to anyone around him, so he had no choice but to keep Shouge'er in his hands until the princess sent someone over.
Upon hearing Li Shiyue's question and seeing the surprised expression on her face, Liu Tan naturally understood what had surprised Li Shiyue.
He could only whisper to Li Shiyue, "Shou Ge'er is the Crown Prince's child."
"No, do you have to say something so astonishing with such a calm expression!"
Ah! The child of Crown Prince Liu Shu?
Seriously?
Him? Him! He already has a grown son!
Li Shiyue was truly devastated this time; it was completely beyond her comprehension.
Even before she transmigrated, she knew that some religions or ethnic groups had the custom of early marriage and childbirth, and that even in modern society, the abhorrent fact of child marriage still exists.
but!
Yes, but!
It's really hard to stay calm when something like this happens right in front of you!
This is simply incomprehensible!
Previously, Li Shiyue was surprised by Li Chunli's sexual intercourse with Liu Shu, and then she was shocked to learn that Li Chunli was already pregnant. This time, she actually gave birth to a baby!
This...this really is...
Regardless of her inner turmoil, under Liu Tan's gaze, Li Shiyue could only nod numbly and stand aside to wait with the others for the Princess to send someone to fetch Shouge'er.
