The whole internet begged the girl to usurp the throne

Liu Ruyan immediately put down the embroidery pattern in her hand and said with concern: "I advised you earlier not to be in a hurry to get on duty, just go back to the house and lie down!"

"Li Shan, go get the doctor quickly!"

Chen Yuanxin raised his hand and called out: "No, I'll go back to the room and lie down later, and I'll just change some medicine."

"You've been complaining about sore eyes these past two days, so why are you doing such an eye-catching thing?"

Liu Ruyan rolled her lips, her brows gentle: "Today, my mother came to sit for a while and brought me some supplements, fabrics and embroidery samples, so that I could embroider a birthday robe for the baby in her belly."

When talking about the child, Liu Ruyan couldn't help but place her hand on her belly and stroke it gently.

Chen Yuanxin frowned slightly, his eyes flickered guiltily, and he blinked without looking at Liu Ruyan:
"I don't know whether it's a boy or a girl. If I put all this effort into embroidering it wrongly, I won't be able to put it on."

Liu Ruyan smiled. She took the embroidery pattern that she had already drafted from the dustpan on the table and showed it to Chen Yuanxin:

"You can't be wrong. Mother knew that my embroidery skills were not good, and she was afraid that I would waste time, so she asked me to embroider either a tiger or a phoenix. It was a cuckoo bird that announced the good harvest."

Chen Yuanxin looked at the crumbled satin cloth on the embroidery studio. The bird held a fruitful rice branch in its beak, and there were several flower outlines next to it.
"Of course my mother will take my grandma to help me embroider one set of tigers and phoenixes. The remaining one will not be wasted. I can always wear it."

When speaking, Liu Ruyan lowered his head, still a little shy.

Chen Yuanxin didn't show much joy, but instead looked sad:
"I still owe His Majesty Seventh Prince a hundred taels of gold, and Shao Zhanshi's official position is in jeopardy. In a few days, this house will be taken over, and we won't even have a place to live. Why are you still willing to stay with me?" Do you endure hardship?”

Liu Fengqin took Chen Yuanxin's hand and said with deep affection in her eyes: "Dad said that His Highness the Sixth Prince's hand cannot reach the Prince Zhanshi's Mansion. Just stay well and seek help from His Highness the Prince when necessary. His Highness will not let you be killed by the Sixth Prince." His Highness bullied me."

As for this house.
"I'll go over in two days to see if there's a cheaper house. As long as we're together, I'm not afraid of hardship!"

Marry the chicken and follow the chicken. The current poverty is only temporary. Husband and wife should support each other. She believes that their lives will be good in the future.
She also believes that her husband will take good care of her and the children born in the future!

Chen Yuanxin twitched the corners of his lips, not as optimistic as Liu Fengqin.

Liu Ruyan didn't know how to run a household, so he had made a rough calculation early on. His annual salary was less than [-] dan, and the personal maid Liu Ruyan kept by his side was only [-] taels of Yueyin, and there was also an old woman who cooked. , I will rent a house later, at least it will be a three-bedroom house.
In addition to the daily food and drink, Liu Ruyan was pregnant and could not afford to eat poorly. After the child was born, there would be another expense. He was scrambling to spend the money on his annual salary, but he was afraid that it would not be enough. half!
The Liu family has more than one daughter, Liu Ruyan. Not to mention that the Liu family is living in poverty, and it is impossible to support them without bottom line!

If his official career in the court could be smoother, he would be able to endure the short-term difficulties.

If he divorced Liu Ruyan, the one hundred taels of gold and silver owed could be settled immediately, and he would not have to suffer the hardships of life. As a military attache, Cheng Duzhi could protect him to some extent. He could also protect him on the prince's side. I have some confidence to be treated differently
Can--

He really couldn't bear it.

After all, Liu Ruyan is still pregnant with his flesh-and-blood child!

Chen Yuanxin wanted to give up. He took a deep breath and said, "Well, thank you for your hard work, Madam. I'm going back to my room first!"

Liu Ruyan watched Chen Yuanxin leave, her eyes filled with worry.

She turned to the maid and said, "Tomorrow I'm going to take the silver panties in my makeup box and sell them for money. When I come back, I'll go to the pharmacy to buy some good ointments, grab two pairs of restorative tonics, and cut up half a chicken."

The maid frowned and said, "Miss, that hairpin is a token of love given to you by the Lord. You are the rarest one. Do you really want to sell it?"

Liu Ruyan lowered her head, looked at her belly that had not yet revealed her pregnancy, curled her lips and smiled softly: "I believe that as long as I get through the current difficulty, my husband will buy it for me in the future."

Even after saying this, Liu Ruyan still had a bit of tears in her eyes.

A few days ago, she sold all the dowry given by her mother, but she was reluctant to give away the silver hairpin.

Even if her husband buys her ten more gold hairpins from now on, they won’t be worth this piece of plain silver.-
Late at night.

When Chen Yuanxin and Liu Ruyan were sleeping deeply, there was a sudden knock on the door——

"Who is it?" Chen Yuanxin was impatient.

Li Shan outside said: "Master, I have something important to do. Please come out!"

Chen Yuanxin had to gather some energy and stand up on the bed.

Liu Ruyan, who was sleeping next to her, was also woken up. She squinted her eyes and muttered, "Husband, what's wrong?"

Chen Yuanxin comforted him: "It's okay, you can sleep."

He went to open the door in the dark, and Li Shan leaned into his ear and whispered.
Chen Yuanxin was completely refreshed.

He first looked back at the darkness in the house, then quietly went back to get a coat and put it on, leaving Li Shan to stay at the door to deal with it, and went to the gate himself——

Outside the gate of the mansion, Du Qiu and Cui Xi were waiting. Chen Yuanxin noticed the burden on Cui Xi's shoulders at a glance.
Under the silver moon, Du Qiu's face looked a little pale, a little more sickly.

"Brother Yuan Xin."

After seeing Chen Yuanxin, Duqiu's eyes suddenly filled with mist.The grievance is pitiful.

Chen Yuanxin asked nervously and flustered: "What's wrong?"

Li Shan said that Miss Cheng Si escaped from home and wanted to elope with him
He was really frightened.

"Brother Yuan Xin, please take me away."

Du Qiu sobbed and pulled Chen Yuanxin's sleeves with her little hands. She was so pitiful.

Without waiting for Chen Yuanxin to politely refuse, Du Qiu took the heavy baggage from Cui Xi, and the gold and silver immediately collided with each other, making a crisp sound.

"I brought a lot of money, which is enough for us to have enough food and clothing for the rest of our lives. Let's go to Yangzhou and find a secluded house to enjoy flowers and write poems, okay?"

The gold and silver in the bag was so heavy that it was difficult for Du Qiu to carry it.

Chen Yuanxin looked distressed and took the burden from Duanqiu's hand. After weighing it, it must be more than ten kilograms!

This is too much!
Chen Yuanxin secretly swallowed the uncontrollable saliva and turned around and handed the baggage back to Cui Xi——

"Don't be afraid. I have met your mother today. Your mother promised me not to force you to marry the Pei family and is willing to consider our affairs."

Duqiu's eyes instantly filled with joy, but then she questioned again: "Really? Is my mother willing to let go?"

Chen Yuanxin nodded, stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears on Du Qiu's face, and said softly and comfortingly:
"Yes, she promised it herself. As long as I can show enough sincerity, she will entrust you to me!"

Duqiu had tears in her eyes and a smile on her face: "Then I'll go back first. I'll wait for you at home. If my mother makes too many demands, just tell me and I'll discuss it with her."

"Okay, before I come to ask for your parents, you must take good care of your health and don't do anything stupid again to commit suicide."

The two of them said many gentle and caring words at the door, and finally parted reluctantly.

Chen Yuanxin told Du Qiu not to leave. He went back to the house and asked Li Shan to come out and ask him to take the two of them back home——

Soon, Li Shan came out with two lanterns, handed one to Cui Xi, and led the two of them towards the Cheng Mansion.
-
Seeing that the door of Cheng Mansion was in front of him, Du Qiu stopped and said to Li Shan:

"Just send it here. Be careful when you go back."

Li Shan nodded: "Okay, Fourth Miss, please go to bed early."

The maid helped Du Qiu to walk forward. After a few steps, she looked back and saw Li Shan still standing there with a lantern, as if she wanted to see them enter the Cheng Mansion before leaving with peace of mind. She whispered and followed Du Qiu said: "Miss, what should I do? Do you want me to drive him away?"

Du Qiu tilted his head slightly and glanced sideways at the light of the lantern behind him.

"It seems a bit too obvious to go back and hurry up now!"

The maid was uneasy and anxious: "What should we do?"

We can't let him watch them fail to enter the Cheng Mansion!

Du Qiu took a breath and said calmly: "Don't panic."

No matter how small their steps were, the two of them still reached the door of Cheng Mansion.

Li Shan watched Cui Xi knock on the door for a long time. After the door opened, he seemed to say a few words to his servant at the door, and then the two of them went in.

The servant stretched out half of his body to glance at Li Shan, who was standing not far away, and then closed the door!

Li Shan also turned around holding a lantern and returned home the same way.

Inside the gate of Cheng Mansion.

The maid Cuixi chatted casually with the servant who opened the door. About a quarter of an hour later, Du Qiu said:
"See if that person is gone?"

The servant took the initiative to take him over, opened the door and stuck his head out, looked left and right, and then retracted:
"It looks like he's gone, but I'm not sure at which corner he's hiding. How about I send the two girls back?"

Duqiu's face was not as panicked and pitiful as when he begged to come in, and he said coldly:
"No need, thank you sir."

After saying that, Du Qiu took the maid and left the Cheng family's house.

The servant stood at the door and watched the two figures slowly leave into the night. He weighed the money in his hand, looked at the backs of the two men, thought about it and hesitated, and hurried back to the door——

Shen Yinxu and Lin Yan followed Du Qiu from a distance, from the gate of Chen Mansion to the gate of Cheng Mansion. When they saw that Li Shan wanted to watch them during the journey to Cheng Mansion, they were also anxious.

After meeting Du Qiu at the corner, Shen Yinlu quickly asked:

"What did you say to the Cheng family servants?"

Du Qiu said calmly: "I didn't say anything. I just said that a bad person was following me with ill intentions. After stuffing me with a piece of silver, the servant agreed to let us go in and hide for a while."

It doesn't matter what you say, no matter how much you beg grandpa, it won't be worth ten taels of silver.

She asked the maid to return the baggage on Shen Yinlu's shoulders, and said: "The ten taels of silver that I just handed over are mine. Can you count them?"

Shen Yinxi took the baggage and gave it to Lin Yan:

"It's none of your business. I'm sorry to bother you two, but you have to make a hard trip at night. Tomorrow night I'll set up a table for the girl at Juyuan Building. Thank you very much, Miss Duqiu!"

Du Qiu: "There is no need for a banquet. I am tired of the food in Juyuan Tower. You can just invite Mr. Lu."

Shen Yinlu: "Okay, then when the settlement comes in two days, I will calculate some extra hard work fees for you."

Duqiu: "I'll send you two back!"

Shen Yinluo: "No, I can't let you see me off this late at night. Don't worry, we're taking the main road and there's a policeman on duty at night. Besides, there's Lin Yan here too. It'll be fine."

Du Qiu was still worried, but Shen Yinlu refused to let her give it away, so she stopped forcing it.

Shen Yinxi also sent Du Qiu to Juyuan Tower for a short distance——

After they parted ways with Du Qiu, Shen Yinlu secretly whispered to Lin Yan: "Do you find it strange that Miss Du Qiu calls Xiao Sanqi a young master?"

Thinking about it carefully, every time she went to Juyuan Building, the servants were always polite to Xiao Sanqi.

Lin Yan held the baggage in his arms and said disapprovingly: "What's the matter? According to rank, Uncle Chen is not ranked second or third in Juyuan Tower. As Uncle Chen's son, it's not strange for San Qi to be called Young Master! "

Shen Yinlu muttered: "Really?"

There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with saying that.

Lin Yan chimed in: "Do you think that everyone is as arrogant as you? Except for Xiao Sanqi, everyone in Juyuan Building is extremely rigid and has too many rules. Sometimes it's a mistake to look at anything too much and you need to be taught a lesson. .”

Shen Yinluo: "I told you that it's not easy to make money in the shadow of Juyuan Tower, especially the waiter's work. Why don't you stop doing it and follow me. Although I will give you less money, at least you will be happy doing it. Ah, I’m not restrained yet.”

Lin Yan responded: "Don't, I have Sanqi protecting me, and I have been given a lot of preferential treatment. If it were someone else, how could I hang out with you in the middle of the night!"

The casual remarks were inevitably harsh, but he learned a lot.

Whether it was the way he served people or other details, he had gained a lot of knowledge.

"Look, if you really can't do it, let's not suffer the injustice. Anyway, with me, Shen Yixian, here, you won't be hungry for the rest of your life!"

"Come on, I'm already very grateful to you for helping me take care of my family. How can I still have the nerve to eat your free rice?"

"What's white rice? That's called soft rice!"

"."

The two talked while walking.

Suddenly there were two black figures walking towards them on the road ahead.

Lin Yan took Shen Yinlu's hand and turned her around——

There was also a person behind him, his face covered with black cloth and holding a dagger in his hand.

"Hand over the money obediently, otherwise, don't blame me for hurting your lives!"

"Fuck."

Lin Yan held the bundle in her arms tightly with one hand, and held Shen Yinglu's arm tightly with the other hand, pulling her towards him——

"You first."

Before Lin Yan finished speaking, Shen Yinlu suddenly gave him a stick.

Looking at the black stick handed to her, and then looking at the three short sticks in her other hand, Lin Yan was stunned.

Where did she get it from?
"Hurry and take it!"

Shen Yinlu shook off Lin Yan's hand holding hers, grabbed the bundle in his other hand, and threw it directly at his feet!
If the baggage wasn't too big, she wouldn't have put it in her arms and let it disappear in full view of the public.
Lin Yan took the stick and bent down to pick up the baggage, but was poked by Shen Yingu in the elbow:
"Stop picking it up. It's in your way if you hold it. Just guard it!"

While talking, he tugged on the stick in Lin Yan's hand that was no longer than the length of his forearm——

With a swipe, the stick suddenly stretched into a long stick as long as an arm!
