Chapter 15 If the prince can win, I will castrate myself!
Immediately afterwards, Chu Li heard the crying of a child and the screaming of a woman, and she got off the carriage immediately without waiting for it to stop.
A little girl's calf was run over by the wheel of a carriage, and her mother hugged her child and cried.
The child's face was pale and his forehead was covered with sweat. He forgot to cry because of the pain.
The people around quickly gathered around.
"What's going on here?"
"I saw the child get startled by a horse galloping past and run backwards into the carriage."
"Oh, such a young child, his legs look like they are broken!"
The child's mother became sadder as she listened. She hugged the child and wanted to pick him up.
Chu Li stopped him, "Don't move, the child's leg might be broken."
Hearing this, the child's mother cried even more sadly, the child's face turned pale, and the mother stopped.
Chu Li walked to the side of the road, broke off two branches, tore off the lining of his clothes, squatted down and bandaged the child.
The people around gathered around. Some felt sorry for the child, some blamed the child and his mother, some blamed Chu Li and the groom, but no one blamed ***.
Chu Li glanced at them lightly and said, "Saving people is the most important thing. Stop saying sarcastic things and be more polite!"
Not everyone knew the prince. The one who took the lead in making sarcastic remarks sneered, "The emperor must have urgent official business. Who can you blame?"
Chu Li raised his eyes to look at him, "If there is an urgent official business, you can take the official route. The emperor naturally knows more about the law than you do."
The man shut his mouth.
"Let's go to the clinic!" Chu Li, Huan Yan, and Bing Xiaping carried the child onto the carriage, and the panic-stricken woman followed.
Chu Li took the child to the clinic and paid the consultation fee.
Whatever the cause, it was the groom she hired who hit the child.
Although the woman kept crying, she did not blame the young master, and expressed her gratitude to Chu Li, "The young master must have important official business, we can't delay it. It's also my fault that I didn't take good care of the child and bumped into the young master's carriage."
Chu Li saw the simplicity of the common people. Her child was injured, but she took all the blame on herself.
Chu Li poked Bing Xia's arm and said, "Go and get the cakes and candies from the car for the children."
Bingxia went to do it immediately.
The child ate the pine nut candy with excitement in his eyes.
"Thank you, big brother." The little girl seemed to have never eaten pine nut candy before. Her eyes were full of excitement and she forgot the pain of the wound on her leg.
"What's your name?" Chu Li touched the little girl's bun.
"My name is Ling'er, I'm five years old, I'm from Fang's manor in the outer city, and I came to the city to visit my grandfather."
The little girl was so happy after eating the candy from her handsome brother that he told her so much information in one breath.
Chu Li looked at this simple-minded mother and daughter and felt indescribable feelings in his heart.
This innocent little girl who suffered is also pitiful.
Chu Li took the woman to a deserted place.
"Sir, do you have any instructions?" the woman nodded.
Chu Li extended his hand towards Bing Xia.
Bingxia was familiar with this action. She took out her purse with difficulty. There were only ten taels of silver left in the purse.
After giving these ten taels of silver, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be left penniless.
Huanyan seemed to see Bingxia's dilemma. She probably guessed that her master had given all the money to Tianyin Pavilion in order to redeem her.
Huanyan held Bingxia's wrist, took out twenty taels of silver from her bosom and handed it to the woman.
"This is a little gift from my master. It will take a hundred days for the injured bones to heal, and I will need to take good care of them later."
Bingxia felt embarrassed when she heard Huanyan say this, and she handed the purse to the woman without hesitation, "Here are ten taels of silver, all for you."
Chu Li smiled knowingly, these two girls are both good girls.
The twenty taels of silver notes given by Huanyan were neither too much nor too little, enough for ordinary people to live on for a year. If carried close to the body and hidden well, they would not attract thieves.
Bingxia felt that asking the newly bought Huanyan to pay for the money would be a loss of face for her master, so she also wanted to give her money.
The woman refused to accept it no matter what. "Thank you very much, sir. My Ling'er has been treated. I can't accept this money."
Chu Li handed the woman the 20-liang silver note, which was more convenient to carry, and told her, "Keep it close to you. It was our carriage that injured the child's leg. Ling'er needs more rest. Since there are relatives here, don't go back to the manor yet. Leave when the leg injury is almost healed."
The woman wiped her tears with emotion and said, "Yes, thank you very much."
Chu Li and the others left the clinic. She sat in the carriage and looked at Huan Yan, "You see, I am a poor fellow. Are you still following me?"
Huan Yan curled her lips under the veil, "Of course."
She had seen too much indifference in human nature, and she could feel that her master was a kind-hearted person.
Although Bingxia resented Chu Li for using the five thousand taels of silver to redeem Huanyan, she was happy when she heard Huanyan's answer, thinking that the money was not wasted.
The other party knows how to fight to protect the master, so as long as she is loyal, she will keep her eyes open to help the master keep watch in the future!
Bing Xia touched the ten taels of silver on her waist and said, "Hey, you could have taken the official road. If you hadn't been running so fast, the child wouldn't have been injured."
Chu Li's eyes darkened. In the original owner's memory, that prince who worked harder than other princes was not particular about details and had never bullied the original owner.
Was today's incident just a misunderstanding or was there something else going on? We'll probably know who *** is once we meet him.
She heard that if she won the autumn hunt this time, she could bring the third prince out of the clan residence.
She had a grudge against the third prince.
It is still unknown whether *** is as patriotic and righteous as the rumors say, or whether she wants to deal with her for the sake of her own brother, but we have to be on guard.
Whether it is an enemy or a friend, you will know during the autumn hunt!
The autumn hunting season would begin in two days, and this was the thing people talked about most on the roadside.
"Go place your bets now. Many people have bet on the ***Autumn Hunt to win first place."
"What about the prince?"
"Well, even if you use your toes to figure it out, there are only a few punters."
A dandy boy smiled impudently, "Isn't it obvious? The prince is extremely brave, and the prince can win the first prize in the autumn hunt. I, the young master, will stand upside down and eat shit!"
The other dandy smiled even more, "I've bet one thousand taels of silver. If the prince wins, I'll castrate myself!"
"Hahaha, Master Wang, Master Xu, you must keep your word. I'm waiting to see what happens!"
Bingxia lowered the car curtain, her cheeks puffed with anger.
Huanyan listened to the discussions outside and sighed, "I really want to watch the autumn hunt, but unfortunately I don't have the qualifications. I heard that the *** are very good at riding and archery. His Royal Highness may not be as bad as the rumors say. Master, do you want to bet as well?"
Chu Li raised an eyebrow, "Yes."
Bingxia blinked her eyes, moved closer to Huanyan and asked, "So who do you think is better?"
Huanyan lowered her eyes, "I was originally optimistic about ***, but after what happened today, I always feel that she is not someone who loves the people, so I want to bet on the prince!"
Bingxia's eyes fell on Chu Li, who nodded pretentiously, "Obviously, fewer people are betting on the prince, so the odds are higher. Good idea!"
Huanyan's smile deepened. "I only have fifty taels of silver notes left, and I bet all of them on the prince to win. If the prince wins, it will be your profit. If the prince loses, this money will also be a reward from the guests. I will have nothing to do with Tianyin Pavilion anymore."
Chu Li nodded with satisfaction. In life, you have to give in order to gain. This girl is smart and has a good attitude. Seeing that she has no money, he helps her bet on a game.
Huanyan bet on Chu Li to win in the gambling house and was mocked by the crowd all the way, but she didn't care much and returned to the carriage.
Chu Li watched her come back relaxed, and learned that today was the last day for betting. Since the people were not optimistic about her, she might as well get some money to bet on herself!
As for where to make money!
Suddenly, her eyes lit up, got it!
