Marrying a rich man after rebirth: The daily life of a legitimate daughter

The prince wanted to say something but was stopped by He Shulan. After the old lady left, she whispered, "This place is not like the mansion, so stop being picky. We live in the same room but different beds, so why are you so nervous?" After that, she ignored the prince, opened the door and walked into the room.

The prince no longer resisted and followed He Shulan.

The room was not very big, but it was very clean. It not only had a large bed, but also a couch next to the window. The prince gave the bed to He Shulan, and he lay on the couch with a quilt in his arms.

The two walked in the dark for a long time and were already tired. They lay down on the bed and fell asleep immediately.

It was just dawn when He Shulan opened her eyes, got up from the bed, stretched herself, walked to the couch, and called the prince who was still sleeping.

The Prince's Mansion must have received the news of their disappearance. They cannot stay outside for too long, otherwise the old lady will worry.

But no matter how she called the prince, he would not wake up. Seeing that his face was flushed, she nervously touched his forehead, and the temperature of her palm was surprisingly hot.

He Shulan ran out of the room nervously and found the old lady who was working in the yard: "Jun..." Thinking that it was inconvenient for the two of them to reveal their identities outside, she immediately changed the topic: "My husband has a severe fever all over his body. Is there a doctor nearby?"

The old lady put down her work and said, "Don't be afraid or nervous. My husband is the doctor. I will call him over right now."

He Shulan returned to the room and covered the prince with the quilt on the bed.

The old lady came in with her husband and said, "Hurry up and check him to see if he caught a cold while traveling last night."

The old man who was woken up was very impatient: "A grown man is in such poor health, not even as good as a woman."

"Hurry up and see the patient, why are you talking so much?"

The old man dared not speak out but felt the pulse of the prince lying on the bed. After a moment, he let go of his hand and said, "The patient is not seriously ill. He just caught a cold. He needs to rest for a few days and take some Chinese medicine and he will recover."

He Shulan was completely relieved: "Thank you."

"Change the patient's clothes, go to the kitchen to boil a pot of hot water, and wipe his body clean so that his temperature can drop quickly." After the old man said this, he ignored him and went back to his room to continue sleeping.

The old lady took He Shulan's hand and walked out: "I'll go get the medicine, you go to the kitchen to boil some water."

It took He Shulan a long time to react and she nodded. She and the prince had been married for so long, but they had never been honest with each other. It was a bit embarrassing to ask her to change the prince's clothes.

The kettle on the stove was puffing and white smoke floated out. He Shulan poured the boiled water into the basin, added some cold water, and took the towel from the rack to the room.

She reached out to unbutton the prince's clothes, took off his dirty outer garment, and saw his white inner garment. She then paused, remembering that the prince was unwilling to sleep in the same room with her last night.

Wake up the sleeping grandfather: "Can you help my husband change his clothes?"

Suddenly, the old man became angry: "You are husband and wife, it doesn't matter if you take off all your clothes, but don't disturb my sleep." After saying that, he slammed the wooden door shut.

Helpless, He Shulan returned to the room and continued to undress the prince. Faced with the prince's sturdy figure, she blushed, picked up the towel in the basin, wiped the prince's body clean, and covered him with a quilt.

At this time, the old lady came in with the boiled medicine and said, "Hurry up and feed it to me."

He Shulan was in a dilemma: "He can't be in a coma. How can I feed him the medicine?"

"It's easy. Just pry his mouth open and pour the medicine in."

He Shulan was stunned. This was too simple and crude. She was afraid that the prince would choke if he poured the medicine down his throat like this, so she reached out and took the medicine from the old lady.

Carefully pry open the prince's mouth and feed the medicine into his mouth little by little with a spoon.

The old lady smiled and said: "You are quite considerate. Anyway, he just caught a cold, just feed him slowly!"

After taking care of the sick prince, He Shulan remembered that she was too tired last night and had no time to wash. Now her body was not only dirty, but also smelled. She ran to the kitchen to boil a pot of hot water, cleaned herself up, and found her grandmother to change into a set of coarse cloth clothes.

The old lady looked at He Shulan with a smile: "Even if you are wearing ordinary people's clothes, it can't hide your nobleness and temperament."

He Shulan did not respond. They were born into wealth, and had been pampered since childhood. They also had to learn various etiquette, so their body shape and temperament must be different from those of ordinary people.

At this moment, her stomach started to growl. The gurgling sound made her blush. She had been so busy that she had not yet had breakfast.

The old lady turned around, walked into the kitchen, and brought out the pancakes she had made that morning: "Eat them while they're hot."

He Shulan didn't care about her image and grabbed the pancake in the bowl and started eating. The pancake was not as delicate as those made in the Prince's Mansion, but it tasted fresh and delicious. Soon, she had eaten the whole bowl of pancake.

After finishing the work, the old lady continued to wash the herbs.

He Shulan took out a purse from her torn clothes. The prince was unconscious, and they would have to stay in this thatched hut for a few more days. She took out ten taels of silver and gave it to the old lady as living expenses.

The old lady did not refuse. She and her husband made a living by collecting herbs in the mountains. They could only exchange them for silver by selling the herbs, so their life was very difficult.

The man in front of her obviously came from a wealthy family and would not need this little bit of silver, so she accepted it and said, "You and the patient both need some nourishment. I'll go to the village below and buy you some meat."

He Shulan stuffed another two taels of silver into the old lady's hand: "Please buy something good."

When it gets dark, the old lady finishes washing the herbs and goes into the kitchen to prepare dinner. Her thin figure is busy in the kitchen.

He Shulan was used to a life of luxury and had never done any work, but she felt bad for sitting there alone and watching the old lady work, so she went into the kitchen to help.

Usually the old lady and her husband eat very simply and can just cook a meal casually.

It's different when there are guests at home. I prepare dinner carefully and ask He Shulan who comes in to cut the meat on the table.

He Shulan clumsily picked up the kitchen knife, placed the meat on the chopping board and cut it in an unskilled manner.

When the meat was about to be put into the pot, the old lady came over and saw the meat on the chopping board that was cut into pieces of different sizes. She smiled bitterly and said, "Go sit over there and play. I'll cut the meat."

He Shulan also knew that she was not cutting well, so she handed the kitchen knife to the old lady.

The old lady cut the meat into thin slices with quick movements.

He Shulan immediately went to get the bowls from the cupboard to fill them with meat for the old lady, but she didn't hold it firmly and all the bowls in the cupboard fell to the ground. The loud bangs made her scared.
