Chapter 107 This King Wants to Make This a Real Deal
"Crispy rice porridge is a specialty of Ding County. Knowing that Your Highness is remembering the bitter past and appreciating the present, the cook specially made it for Your Highness."
"Don't be fooled by its appearance, it tastes delicious."
Yao Shisan looked on with admiration.
Fu'er chimed in enthusiastically, "Yes! It's delicious!"
Xiao Shu nodded, then raised his injured left hand.
"I would also like to try it, so I would like to ask Yao'er to feed me personally."
"How did you get injured?" Yao Shisan was taken aback at first, then pointed to his right hand and said, "You still have one hand!"
He stretched out his hand, revealing an exquisitely crafted hand warmer in his palm.
They even raised it a little higher.
It seems to be saying that this hand cannot be idle.
"My mother said that when it's time to eat, you have to eat properly and not play."
His hand was empty.
The heater had already been taken away by Fu'er, who then stuffed a spoon into his hand.
Xiao Shu, “…”
He turned to look at Fu'er.
The little girl winked at him, "You must listen to your mother."
His fingers, gripping the spoon, twitched slightly, and a fleeting emotion flashed across his eyes.
"good……"
The word "good" hadn't even finished being uttered.
Fu'er turned to the official at the next table and continued to instruct him, "Listen to your mother and eat your food obediently!"
Xiao Shu, “…”
His eye twitched, and he reached out to turn her head back to him.
"Don't talk while eating or sleeping, eat quickly."
It's already the time of late spring cold snap.
After finishing her meal, Fu'er slipped away to play with some of the yamen runners' children.
She runs around all day, and you can't see a trace of coldness in her.
Yao Shisan wanted to find an opportunity to go out and buy some things for Shuang'er and send them to her.
But……
"Your Highness, please don't follow me anymore!"
From the dining room to the back room, and from the back room to the storage room.
Wherever she went, Xiao Shu followed.
Even Fu'er isn't this clingy!
stick……
Why did she use that word...?
Yao Shisan shook his head, then looked at Xiao Shu, and finally couldn't help but grit his teeth and say, "Your Highness, just tell me what you want to do!"
The county government office was built on a high foundation, and long corridors were equipped with benches and railings.
Xiao Shu took a step forward, and she subconsciously took a step back, her calf knocking over the bench, causing her to fall down.
He bent down, his uninjured hand bracing against the railing behind her.
He enveloped her in a coercive manner.
Yao Shisan's eyes widened; she had nowhere left to retreat.
"Your Highness, this is not good..."
"I do have something to say."
Xiao Shu moved two inches closer, so close that he could almost hear Xiao Shu breathing.
"Last time you said we shouldn't take over someone else's nest, but what I want is a cuckoo that knows how to plunder and take over someone else's nest."
Yao Shisan almost stopped breathing.
Her mind went blank.
What is he saying?!
Xiao Shu looked at the beautiful woman so close to him. Because he had been busy running around, there were still some small beads of sweat on the tip of her delicate nose.
He seemed to have never looked at it so closely before.
Her hair was as black as lacquer, her cheeks were as white as porcelain, her eyes were bright and expressive, and her lips were like cinnabar.
She is no longer a naive young girl; she is like a peony quietly blooming.
He suddenly seemed to understand why Zhou Congxian would go crazy for a woman.
"I am still..." jealous.
As Yao Shisan watched his face get closer and closer, he suddenly pushed him away.
She hurriedly got up and took several steps back.
Her voice trembled slightly, "Your Highness, I have my own nest, and I don't want to take anyone else's!"
She didn't dare look at him. "Your Highness, you should return to Yuzhou as soon as possible. This small place is not suitable for Your Highness."
She finished speaking quickly, then turned and ran away.
Xiao Shu gazed at the spot where her figure disappeared, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"Jiang Shiyao, I'm now thinking of making this a real thing."
Dinner time at the county government office.
Yao Shisan did not go out to eat, nor did he allow Fu'er to go.
They had the wet nurse bring in all the food for the group.
When the wet nurse returned, she said, "It's strange today; hardly anyone ate."
Yao Shisan did not respond.
I've been racking my brains trying to figure out all the strange things that have happened recently.
She felt that she and Xiao Shu were merely using each other.
A prince of such high status, what kind of beauties haven't he seen?
Falling in love with her is simply a pipe dream.
The only plausible explanation is that they threatened Zhou Congxian.
Zhou Congxian chased after him from the capital to Yuzhou.
King Cheng now has neither power nor troops.
Zhou Congxian is now a close advisor to the emperor; to control him, all that is needed is to control her.
Thinking about this...
She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
A prince of the royal family has actually fallen to this level.
I need to personally seduce her!
As if she had finally convinced herself, she nodded firmly.
Xiao Shu, who had been feeling somewhat better, sneezed twice more.
Steward Qing glanced at it and silently added two more pieces of charcoal.
*
Yao Shisan stayed in the county government office for three days without showing her face, and she didn't even appear when her brother came back.
Fu'er couldn't stay cooped up any longer, and took advantage of her mother's absence to run outside.
Fatty was easy to take care of; his wet nurse fed him until he was chubby and healthy.
“My lady, the name Pangxi can only be used as a nickname. When the young master goes to school, he will need a formal name.”
Yao Shisan made an undergarment for Pang Xixin these past few days.
As she finished stitching, she said, "He's still young, no rush. I'll have my brother come up with some good names for him tomorrow."
"Mother!" Fu'er ran in from outside, "Godfather said he's going back to Yuzhou."
The little girl's dress got dirty in just half a day!
I'm finally leaving...
Yao Shisan put down his needlework and breathed a deep sigh of relief.
These days, she always feels like there's a pair of eyes watching her all the time.
The night before last, she had a terrible nightmare.
Someone put a lot of birds in her room, sparrows and doves, and their chirping kept her from sleeping well all night.
Fu'er: "Mother, aren't we going back to Yuzhou?"
Yao Shisan glanced at her. "You want to go to school?"
"No!" Fu'er shook her head like a rattle.
She was afraid her mother would drag her to school right away, so she ran away as fast as she could.
“My lady, it would be fine if a boy was a little mischievous, but it’s not good for a young lady like Fu’er to always be running around outside.”
The wet nurse had tried to persuade her with these words many times.
"As long as she's happy."
Yao Shisan couldn't bear to restrict her.
At this time in her previous life, Fu'er was learning manners from Song Jiyun, but was abused.
In this life, I finally managed to escape the nightmarish capital city.
She's only four years old; she should be happier.
She has plenty of time; she can't run around like a madwoman forever.
If we can't let her run around like crazy now, when will we be able to?
Are they in their seventies or eighties?
Shuang'er has also stayed in the herb field for several days.
We still don't know how Wei Xun is doing.
No sooner had Xiao Shu's carriage left than she packed some clothes and food and hurried to the herb field.
Uncle Sun was still tending to the medicinal herb field alone; his apprentice was nowhere to be found.
In front of the hut, Shuang'er was washing clothes. For every piece she washed, Wei Xun would clean another piece in a bucket of water.
Um?
Wei Xun is out! He looks pretty good!
It's only been a few days.
That day, it even had to be chained up!
Yao Shisan turned his gaze to Uncle Sun. This Uncle Sun was probably a reclusive divine doctor.
"Shuang'er".
She came in carrying a large bundle.
"Sister." Shuang'er was about to reach out to take it when Wei Xun had already taken the bundle first.
"Madam Yao".
Wei Xun appeared to be out of danger.
"Is everything ready?"
Shuang'er's eyes were full of smiles, "Not yet, but Uncle Sun said it's almost done, but it still needs some more recuperation."
Yao Shisan chuckled, "Wei Xun, if it weren't for my Shuang'er, you would have been reporting to the King of Hell long ago."
Wei Xun glanced at Shuang'er beside him, "Yes, if it weren't for Shuang'er, there would be no A-Xun as we know him today."
He turned his head and said seriously, "Madam Yao, you are Shuang'er's elder sister. I would like to ask for Shuang'er's hand in marriage."
Shuang'er's face flushed instantly, "So many people..."
Yao Shisan looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, whose eyes were only for him.
She suddenly felt a mix of emotions.
Wei Xun was a good man, but he also lived a life that was incredibly difficult.
"Wei Xun, you survived being poisoned twice. Can you guarantee you'll be this lucky again?"
Wei Xun: "I had already thought it through when I regained my memories."
"Once this mission is completed, I will resign. I can stay in Ding County or return to Beijing to work as an ordinary patrolman."
"I want to give Shuang'er a stable home."
"Shuang'er, have you thought it through?"
"We've made up our minds, we'll stay in Ding County."
Shuang'er's cheeks were still flushed, but this time she didn't flinch.
Opportunities are rare; if she doesn't seize them now, she'll regret it for the rest of her life!
Yao Shisan looked at the two of them, never expecting that they would commit to each other for life so hastily.
It doesn't seem like a hasty decision. We've survived life and death, what more could we possibly need?
"Wei Xun, don't even think about taking shortcuts. All the formalities and betrothal gifts are required!"
Shuang'er quickly reached out and grabbed her sister, "A-Xun has no money. We don't need any formal betrothal gifts."
Yao Shisan pinched her arm, "You're not even married yet! And you're already siding with someone else!"
"You're still thinking about saving money before you get married? There will be many more places where you'll need to save money in the future!"
Seeing the two arguing, Wei Xun quickly said, "I have money."
How many?
The two sisters looked at him at the same time.
"It seems like there are several thousand, but I don't remember exactly."
"Several thousand?! Being a guard is worth so much more than being a maid!" Shuang'er began to feel indignant.
Wei Xun scratched his head. "They were mostly government rewards, but the young master didn't take them. He gave them all to me and Wan Quan."
"I didn't spend any money, so I deposited it all in the money shop."
Shuang'er's eyes stung a little. "This is all money earned by risking your life. You're not allowed to earn it anymore."
Wei Xun solemnly promised, "It won't happen again."
"I said I would protect you for the rest of my life, and I, Wei Xun, always keep my word!"
Shuang'er looked at him shyly, "I know..."
"You two, separate!"
Sun Bo's apprentice suddenly appeared out of nowhere, shouting, "Do you know how annoying it is to see me all alone?!"
Uncle Sun came out of the field carrying a hoe. "You know it's an eyesore, yet you still brought a wife home!"
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Shuang'er and Wei Xun were already used to it.
They don't plan to go back for the time being.
Shuang'er saw her sister off to the carriage. "I want A-Xun to be completely cured. Once he's healed, we'll go back to the county government."
When Yao Shisan returned to the county government office.
There was another person at the door, struggling with Jiang Xingyao.
No sooner had one left than another arrived.
“Brother-in-law, you can’t keep Shi Yao from seeing me, and you can’t keep telling me where Wei Xun is.”
"Who is your brother-in-law! My county government office is too small to accommodate such a great figure as the young master!"
Jiang Xingyao blocked the doorway, refusing to let him in no matter what!
Fu'er sat on the steps, her hands supporting her chin.
"One father leaves, another comes; having too many fathers is a troublesome thing."
