Help! The innocent prince always tries to seduce me clumsily

The little beggar who was kicked far away almost lost half his life because of this kick. Blood flowed out of his mouth in big mouthfuls. His skinny body was shaky as he stood up. Tears flashed in his eyes. He gasped and shouted to Hu Da and Hu Er with difficulty.

"Don't touch it! Give it back to me!"

Hu Da laughed, holding the necklace in his hand, and spoke as if he was teasing a dog.

"Come and get it if you can."

It seems that in the face of such overwhelming advantage, provoking those who are weaker than himself will give him a sense of superiority and control.

Hu Er had a bad temper, so he went up to him and knocked him down with another punch without saying a word.

The little beggar was then greeted with another round of punches and kicks.

Hu Da looked at this scene and laughed even more happily.

"Hahaha, you stinky beggar. I told you to pounce on me. Second brother, teach him a lesson! Let's sell this jade pendant and go have a drink together, brothers!"

The people watching on the side couldn't bear to watch any longer. Hu Er was really too cruel. The little beggar's leg was broken by Hu Er's kick. The sound of the bone breaking was so loud that it made people's backs chill.

“It’s so cruel…”

"Yes, the Hu brothers almost beat that little beggar to death. Is there any law?"

"I heard that Hu Da and Hu Er's uncle is the housekeeper of Lord Song's family. He has a lot of say in front of Lord Song. Who dares to mess with the Hu brothers..."

Chu Shitong thought for a long time before he recalled the memories related to the necklace.

In his previous life, there was a young man who was only seventeen years old and won the top spot in the imperial examination. His name was Han Zijun. He was the younger brother of Yue'er, a personal maid beside his mother.

Yue'er's real name is Han Xinyue, a native of Qiongzhou. Because her family was poor, she sold herself into the palace as a maid relying on her beauty and skills. However, there was a famine in Qiongzhou a few years ago, and her parents all starved to death. Only her younger brother Han Zijun survived. He begged all the way to the capital to find his sister, but since he could not enter the palace, he could only beg for a living in the capital.

After begging in the capital for two years, he happened to help a respected teacher in the capital's library. The teacher saw that he was not illiterate, so he took him back to the library to teach him to read. He was very talented, and since he had learned to read in his hometown before, he passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar in just five years.

After Han Zijun became the top scholar, the first thing he did was to look for his sister Han Xinyue. This jade pendant was the only connection between the two siblings.

But when Yun Xiangrong found out that the brother of her personal maid was the current top scholar, she held Han Xinyue tightly and refused to let her go, hoping to use this to turn Han Zijun to Chu Shitong's side. However, not only did she fail to help Chu Shitong build a good relationship with the top scholar, she also offended him in the process.

Chu Shitong remembered that Han Zijun had a problem with his legs. He heard that he was beaten while begging, most likely by Hu Er.

His thoughts turned back to the present. The little beggar was beaten to death. Just when Hu Er finally stopped and prepared to go drink with Hu Da, the little beggar reached out and grabbed the corner of Hu Er's clothes.

His face and hands were dirty, all covered with blood mixed with mud. Tears ran down his face, mixed with blood, and he begged bitterly to Hu Er and Hu Da.

“Please, give it back to me… please…”

Hu Er's face was full of disgust. He raised his leg and kicked him hard, "Get lost, you stinky beggar!"

The kick landed on the little beggar's chin, and the force caused him to roll on the ground for several rounds. He finally stopped, his body almost breaking into pieces as he collapsed to the ground.

He wanted to pray, but as soon as he opened his mouth he started coughing violently, and two teeth were found in the blood he coughed up.

Many people watching on the sidelines couldn't bear to watch and chose to leave.

Chu Shitong doesn't think she is a righteous person. When she does things, she either weighs the pros and cons or acts purely based on her own preferences.

Chu Shitong felt that Han Zijun might be able to help with this matter.

But now is not a good time.

Chu Shitong is only fourteen years old now. He doesn't even have a weapon on him and doesn't bring anyone with him. It would be unwise to go out rashly to stop Hu Da and Hu Er.

After showing his token, I guess Hu Da and Hu Er, the two illiterate people, can't read.

Chu Shitong would never put himself in danger, so this matter could only be done as a backup. By the way, it could also allow the hatred in Han Zijun's heart to ferment and turn into motivation for him to study hard.

Seeing Hu Da and Hu Er walking away and the people around them gradually dispersing, Chu Shitong walked over.

The little beggar collapsed on the ground, motionless.

Chu Shitong leaned over and asked, "Hey, are you still alive?"

Probably not dead yet.

The little beggar's eyelids moved and he opened his eyes with some difficulty. One of his eyes was swollen and could only be opened a crack, and the other eye was also bruised and purple, looking extremely pitiful.

Chu Shitong said: "If you don't treat your injuries, you will probably die. Do you want to live?"

The little beggar felt a sore nose and suddenly two lines of tears fell. The skin where the tears flowed became cleaner, as if they could wash away the dirty dirt and blood on his body.

He opened his mouth, his voice was hoarse, and he said indistinctly with all his strength: "I want to..."

"It's a good thing to want to live. Only when people have the belief that they want to live can they have motivation."

Chu Shitong did not mention that he could save him. He looked up at the direction where Hu Da and Hu Er left and said, "That jade pendant must have some special meaning to you. It's a pity that if you sell it like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find it again once it changes hands."

Chu Shitong pretended to sigh and touched the purse on his waist intentionally or unintentionally.

When the little beggar heard this, he wanted to speak anxiously, but his body could not support it. He opened his mouth trembling all over, and after a long time he could only utter a few scattered words.

"Please, please, help me... I will repay you later..."

"What's your name?"

"Han...Zi, Jun..."

"It's a good name. It's not impossible for me to help you..." Chu Shitong said with some embarrassment, "But if I help you, I will not only have to advance the medical expenses, but also help you get the jade pendant back. If you want to repay me by working like a slave, then I don't need it. I have a lot of servants under me, and helping you is not enough for me to spend my time."

Chu Shitong was just telling Han Zijun some information indirectly.

First, she doesn't need cheap labor rewards, she needs other rewards.

Second, he was a person of status, with both servants and money under his command, and was someone Han Zijun could seek help from.

Hearing this, Han Zijun stretched out his hand and tried to grab the corner of Chu Shitong's clothes with difficulty, "Please, please... I can do something else... I can do whatever you say..."

Chu Shitong said slowly, "It sounds interesting. Maybe I can consider helping you, but there is no free lunch in the world. If I can't get the return I want from you, then I will get back what I have paid for you a thousand times."

The little beggar nodded, "Okay..."

Chu Shitong calmly dodged his hand that tried to grab him, smiled and whispered: "This dress of mine is a piece of silk gifted by the emperor, it is better for me not to touch it."

Han Zijun's eyes flashed with shock, and he almost immediately withdrew his strength, and his arm fell down in an instant.

Chu Shitong said, "Wait here. I'll go to the clinic and ask someone to carry you over."

Chu Shitong would not be so anxious. Han Zijun would most likely not die. Even if other people wanted to help Han Zijun, Han Zijun would certainly choose to wait for her where he was, because her words just now had already told Han Zijun that her identity was not that of an ordinary rich young man. The simplest clothes on her body were all given by the emperor. Anyone with a little bit of brains could guess that she was either a royal relative or the son of a powerful official.

If Han Zijun really wants to take revenge and wants to enter the palace to find his sister, the best way is for him to follow me.

She strolled all the way and followed the direction where Hu Da and Hu Er left.

I saw the nearest pawnshop next to the market and went in without thinking.

As local tyrants, Hu Da and Hu Er will never go to faraway places even if they want to sell things. They will only go to places close to their own territory, so they are more likely to ask for a high price when selling things.

As expected, Chu Shitong saw the jade pendant in the pawnshop. The pawnshop owner was holding it in his hand and looking at it, so Chu Shitong walked over leisurely.

This necklace was bought by Chu Shitong for half a tael of silver. Although the jade on the jade pendant was of good quality, it was not worth much when sold because it was only half of the jade coin and was badly worn.

Chu Shitong bought the jade pendant, then asked around for nearby medical clinics and went in to find someone to carry Han Zijun.

......

Han Zijun had too many wounds on his body, and he was busy until dark just cleaning and applying medicine and bandaging the wounds. He also had a broken leg, and the people at the clinic said it was a good thing the patient was brought in quickly, because if it had been delayed for a few days, his leg would have been broken, and even if it could have been reattached, he would have had a broken leg for the rest of his life.

There was an accommodation for patients on the second floor of the clinic, and Chu Shitong opened a separate ward for Han Zijun.

Chu Shitong wandered around outside for the whole afternoon. When it was getting dark, he returned to the clinic and prepared to go upstairs to see Han Zijun before returning to East No. 5 Institute.

I have to go to the library tomorrow. I guess classes will be suspended in a few days. A few days after the Great Heat is the Second Princess' birthday. In previous years, during the Great Heat, His Majesty would take his favorite concubine and the princes and princesses to Qingliang Villa to stay for more than half a month, and other royal relatives could follow.

Chu Shitong remembered that in his previous life, he had delayed going to Qingliang Villa and celebrated the second princess' birthday first.

Pushing open the door of the ward, Han Zijun was lying on the bed, wrapped in gauze and unable to move, with a wooden board clamped between his legs. His body should have been washed, so at least I could see what he looked like.

Seeing that he was anxious and wanted to say something, Chu Shitong spoke first.

"Don't worry, it took me an entire afternoon to find the jade pendant, and I spent a lot of money to redeem it. It's in my hands now."

As she said that, she took it out and showed it to Han Zijun.

"But I have to make a promise. I cannot give you this jade pendant until you pay me back. If you run away, my time for the whole day will be wasted."

Han Zijun said: "This is natural."

His voice was terribly hoarse, but at least he could utter a complete sentence.

"What does the young master want in return?"

Chu Shitong looked at him and said, "What kind of reward can you give me?"

Han Zijun was silent for a moment, then said, "I can't give you anything right now, sir, except my life."

It was hard for Chu Shitong to imagine that such clear thoughts and way of speaking could come from the mouth of a child of eight or nine years old.

It seems that Han Zijun suffered a lot on his way to the capital.

At such a young age, he was able to make it all the way from a remote village to the capital alive, which meant he was no ordinary person.

"Why would I want your life?" Chu Shitong said, "You are still too young and are of no use to me. How about this? I will send you to learn a craft, and then you can work for me to pay off my debts."

Han Zijun pursed his lips, and a look of hesitation appeared on his scarred face.

After a while, he managed to utter a word.

"I can read."

Chu Shitong laughed. This kid is indeed interesting.

When he said that he only had this life to repay him, he was already hinting that if I really wanted to repay him, I could choose to train him. Now, he was forced by my words "learn a skill" to reveal that he could read.

Chu Shitong pretended not to understand, "So what if you can read? I can read too."

"When I was in my hometown, the teacher praised me for being a good student. If you want me to learn a craft, that's fine. But I'm clumsy, but I have a smart brain. If you're willing to let me try, I will never let you down."

Han Zijun finally said what he was thinking.

Chu Shitong was somewhat satisfied and stopped.

If I continue to tease a child this young, I'm afraid that in the future it will not only be a reward to me, but may also be a form of revenge.

"It's okay to give it a try, but you and I need to sign a document first, listing all the money you've spent. If you can't pay me back in the future, or if you're not good at studying, I can choose to give up supporting you, and you have to work like a slave and pay me back double the money I've spent."

Han Zijun agreed immediately.

"it is good!"

Chu Shitong said, "Then it's settled. I'll come with the documents in a few days. You can recover in the clinic first. I'll pay for your medicine. Just rest assured and recover."

"Thank you, sir." Han Zijun's voice was a little choked up, "I will always remember your kindness!"

Chu Shitong was not moved by his trembling words. People are like this. When they are moved, they can make any promise. But after being moved, when their own interests are involved, the promises they made with all their heart are no different from the barking of a dog.

My understanding of this sentence comes from my past life.

When he was deceiving Si Jingli that he was a homosexual, he wanted to pretend to be heartless, and the next second he was willing to go through fire and water and die a thousand times for Si Jingli.

But after Si Jingli believed in himself, Chu Shitong took advantage of him and refused to even meet him.

He refused to meet her just to escape the guilt in his heart. He became more and more indifferent to her and tortured her like revenge only because he couldn't even face the guilt in his heart.

Thinking of Si Jingli, Chu Shitong felt that he had been deceived too much by himself in his previous life. If he had not used him, Si Jingli would have lived a rich and peaceful life. The only thing he lacked was a sincere and loving person by his side.

If I want to compensate him, perhaps the best way is to send a gentle and considerate princess over to him.

It seems that I have to pay attention to some outstanding women in the capital first.

……

East Fifth Institute.

It was already dark when Chu Shitong came back. Bishui had already prepared the meal and put it on the table. It must have been reheated several times. The dish was still hot when Chu Shitong saw it, but Chu Shitong still didn't touch it and chose to cook and stir-fry some vegetables himself.

While eating, Bishui brought a few bottles of medicine and placed them on the table.
