Hearing that the medicinal herbs had been trampled on, Shen Baozhu pulled the Fourth Prince out of the room.
Qiuqiu said rudely to Jian Ruoshui, "You big bad guy! You trampled on Dr. Qian's herbs. Pay up!"
Jian Ruoshui was both shocked and angry. She hadn't expected there to be people in the backyard house. She was afraid that the three kids would hear what she'd said, and she was also angry that Qiuqiu dared to talk to her like that.
Relying on the fact that Du Yunqian was the county magistrate, Jian Ruoshui was used to throwing her weight around. For a moment, she forgot that this was the capital city.
Furious, she didn't care about anything and directly stepped forward to push Qiuqiu. "Who do you think you are, daring to talk to me like this?"
Qiuqiu wasn't on guard and was pushed to the ground. Her palm was scratched by the gravel, and the pain made her eyes tear up. "Baozhu, she pushed me."
Seeing Qiuqiu being pushed, Shen Baozhu immediately grabbed Jian Ruoshui's hand tightly. "I don't care who you are. All I know is that you pushed Qiuqiu. Apologize right now!"
The effect of yesterday's powerful fruit was still there. No matter how much Jian Ruoshui struggled, she was firmly held in place. In a hurry, she opened her mouth to bite Shen Baozhu's hand.
Taking advantage of Jian Ruoshui lowering her head, the Fourth Prince stood on tiptoe and hugged her head, firmly grabbing her hair with both hands.
Shen Baozhu shouted, "You trampled on Dr. Qian's herbs and pushed Qiuqiu. Apologize quickly!"
"Dream on! You brats don't deserve an apology from me!" Jian Ruoshui refused to back down. But she didn't dare to entangle with the strong Shen Baozhu. Instead, she kicked Qiuqiu.
Looking at the blood flowing from her palm, Qiuqiu was scared and about to cry when she was kicked by Jian Ruoshui.
She forgot about crying and immediately stood up to fight back against Jian Ruoshui.
Seeing that Qiuqiu was injured again, Shen Baozhu was angry. Just as she was about to push Jian Ruoshui hard to the ground, subtitles floated in mid - air.
Master Qingyun: [Baozhu, you can't make a move. She's pregnant.]
Master Qingyun: [You're too strong now. If you're not careful and hurt the child in her belly, you'll surely be involved in karmic consequences.]
Lin Yu: [Then what should we do? Can Qiuqiu and the Fourth Prince beat her?]
Dragon King: [So what if we're involved? We can't just watch the little cutie being bullied by this person.]
Seeing the subtitles in mid - air, Shen Baozhu subconsciously let go.
Jian Ruoshui seized the opportunity and reached out to scratch the Fourth Prince. She was very ruthless, not caring that the Fourth Prince was just a child. Her fingernails dug into his flesh, and she also kicked Qiuqiu and Shen Baozhu.
Seeing the Fourth Prince and Qiuqiu being bullied, Shen Baozhu didn't have time to think and pushed Jian Ruoshui hard.
Jian Ruoshui staggered a few steps and almost fell. Fortunately, someone behind her caught her.
She thought it was Jian Ruobing and put on a pitiful look. "Sister, when I came back, these kids were trampling on the herbs. I told them not to, but they rushed up to beat me. Wuwuwu. Look at my face..."
"Oh? You mean my kids beat you?" The Prince of Rui endured his anger and asked softly.
These words made Jian Ruoshui's heart skip a beat. She turned around and saw that it was the old man from the front yard.
"Slap!"
The Prince of Rui slapped Jian Ruoshui hard.
Jian Ruoshui took a few steps back, covering her face, and pointed at the Prince of Rui. "You, you, you! You hit me!"
"Slap!"
The Prince of Rui slapped her again.
Jian Ruoshui covered both sides of her face and said angrily, "How dare you hit me!"
"Slap!"
The Prince of Rui gave her a third slap.
After being slapped three times in a row, Jian Ruoshui completely lost her mind. She pounced on the Prince of Rui and tried to dig out his eyes with the skills she usually used at home.
The Prince of Rui was quick and accurate. He slapped Jian Ruoshui a fourth time and scolded, "You stupid thing! How dare you bully my kids? You've got a lot of nerve. I've never seen anyone bully my kids in my life. You're looking for death."
Jian Ruoshui let out a scream and tried to bite the Prince of Rui, but he grabbed her hair and scolded, "I was already pulling hair and causing a ruckus in the streets before you were even born!"
"Do you even know who you're causing a ruckus in front of?"
This scene stunned everyone.
Dragon King: [Is he really a prince?]
Lin Yu: [His fighting power is so strong.]
Master Qingyun: [Baozhu, remind the Prince of Rui that this woman is pregnant.]
Seeing the subtitles, Shen Baozhu came back to her senses and reminded the Prince of Rui, "Grandpa Gu, she's pregnant. Be careful!"
This voice also woke Qiuqiu and the Fourth Prince up.
Qiuqiu ran up to the Prince of Rui to complain. "Grandpa Gu, this bad guy pushed me. My hand has been bleeding, and she kicked me. It hurts so much."
Seeing that the Fourth Prince's face was scratched, Shen Baozhu also dragged him to complain. "And the Fourth Prince's face has been scratched too!"
The Prince of Rui took a quick look and saw that there were also footprints on Shen Baozhu. He took a deep breath and said gently, "Baozhu, take Qiuqiu and the Fourth Prince outside first. I'll reason with this person."
The Fourth Prince didn't want to leave. He struggled to say a sentence. "Grandpa Gu is amazing. I want to learn."
The Prince of Rui paused. He was worried. This was not something to learn. If the Fourth Prince learned it, the emperor would give him trouble.
Qiuqiu thought it made sense and pulled Shen Baozhu to stop. "I'll learn with Baozhu too!"
The Prince of Rui was shocked. They definitely couldn't learn this. If these two learned it, Mingli would cause him endless trouble.
Just as the Prince of Rui was thinking about what to do, Jian Ruoshui saw an opportunity and broke free from his grasp. She picked up a stool in the yard and threw it at the Prince of Rui.
The Prince of Rui was calm. He clapped his hands three times.
A man in gray clothes jumped down from the roof and captured Jian Ruoshui.
"Don't learn this. This is a secret guard. When Qiuqiu grows up, Grandpa Gu will give you one." The Prince of Rui was afraid that Qiuqiu would still want to learn his way of causing a ruckus, so he quickly diverted her attention.
Qiuqiu nodded happily. Then she thought of Shen Baozhu. "What about Baozhu? Won't Grandpa Gu give one to Baozhu?"
The Prince of Rui patiently explained, "Baozhu's maternal grandfather will prepare something for her. She doesn't need me to give her one."
After saying this, the Prince of Rui remembered that the Fourth Prince also wanted to learn, and Shen Baozhu hadn't said anything just now. He was a bit nervous. "I'll give one. I've thought it through. What Baozhu's maternal grandfather gives her has nothing to do with me. I'll give each of you three a secret guard. If you meet such people in the future, let the secret guards deal with them."
"Does Qiuqiu's hand still hurt? I'll take you out to apply medicine. And the Fourth Prince, come with us too."
The Prince of Rui held Shen Baozhu's hand with his left hand and Qiuqiu's with his right, and led them to the front yard.
Looking at the wound on Qiuqiu's hand, the Prince of Rui first wiped the blood clean with a white cloth. Then he rummaged through the pharmacy and found some golden sore medicine to apply to Qiuqiu and the Fourth Prince.
The cut on Qiuqiu's palm was a bit deep. The Prince of Rui applied a large piece of ointment. At first, it felt cold, and then it started to sting.
"Baozhu, it hurts so much." Qiuqiu hugged Shen Baozhu's arm and acted coquettishly. She thought that if she had known there was a crazy person in the pharmacy today, she wouldn't have come out. It would have been better to stay in the Marquis's Mansion. At least her hand wouldn't hurt.
The Fourth Prince looked at Qiuqiu's action with a curious look in his eyes. He hugged Shen Baozhu's other arm and acted coquettishly.
Seeing Qiuqiu and the Fourth Prince hugging Shen Baozhu from both sides, the Prince of Rui finally felt better. "If you two keep clinging to Baozhu like this, what will you do when she gets married in the future?"
Qiuqiu asked curiously, "Grandpa Gu, what does it mean to get married?"
Dragon King: [Getting married means bringing silver and joining someone else's family.]
Shen Baozhu repeated this to Qiuqiu. Qiuqiu understood. "I see. The dowry is silver. Sister Yutang doesn't have a dowry, so she'll join someone empty - handed... What if someone dislikes Sister Yutang for not having a dowry?"
"I have a lot of gold. I can share it with Sister Yutang." Shen Baozhu silently added in her heart that she also had big pearls, but the Dragon King hadn't given them to her.
Qiuqiu had a good idea. "We can let Sister Yutang marry into our family. We won't dislike her, and we can even give her a dowry!"
The Prince of Rui slapped his head, deeply realizing how difficult it was to take care of kids, and regretting his loose tongue even more.
