As soon as she opened her eyes, she was forcibly carried back to the East Palace by the paranoid pri

The market in the county town was very lively. He Yue was walking on the road, feeling a little confused and incredulous.

A full three thousand taels of silver! That jade pendant was exchanged for a full three thousand taels!

Afterwards, He Yue went to the drugstore to buy medicine to treat the knife wound. She picked the best one and only spent twenty taels of silver.

He then went to a clothing store and bought three sets of the best silk clothes, spending twelve taels.

He Yue couldn't help but buy herself a green satin skirt embroidered with lotus flowers, and she also took a fancy to a silver hairpin.

The workmanship is very delicate, with the silver thread on it wrapped into an orchid. However, the boss asked for a very high price, a full three taels.

"You have fair skin and thick black hair. This hairpin will definitely look good on you."

The boss was also a woman, and she was very good at doing business. She looked at the white silk flower on He Yue's head and said, "We women shouldn't keep thinking about the past. We still have to live our lives in the future, so we have to be nice to ourselves."

The woman in front of me is also very pretty and elegant, and she would look stunning with this orchid hairpin.

He Yue hesitated for a long time but finally bought the hairpin.

"Come, come, let me put it on for you and change your hair into a nice bun. You are the fairest and most beautiful woman I have ever seen. You will look more decent if you dress up."

The boss was a warm-hearted man with skillful hands. In a few strokes, he made a beautiful bun for He Yue and inserted an orchid hairpin into it. The silver pendant on it set off her thick, black hair.

Which woman doesn't like to be coquettish? He Yue is no exception. She looked at herself in the bronze mirror and paid the money with satisfaction.

Then He Yue bought some things along the way.

The sky gradually darkened, taking on a dark red hue, creating a bright streak across the sky.

By the time they returned home from renting a carriage, He Yue was already out of breath from carrying so many bags.

"Squeak."

The door opened, and it was Ning Rushong. He stood at the door. His appearance, which was already very handsome, seemed to be covered by a layer of hazy gauze at the dusk, making him look less like an ordinary person in this world.

He Yue was a vulgar man who loved money and beauty, so he was inevitably stunned for a moment.

Then she quickly came to her senses and shook her head gently. It was true that the more poisonous something was, the more beautiful it was. The ancients did not deceive her.

Ning Rushong's eyes drifted towards her, and then he took the thing from her hand.

"I'll carry it myself." These things were very light to him.

"Thank you, Mr. He." Since someone was doing it for her, He Yue naturally would not refuse. She followed Ning Rushong into the yard.

At this time, Li Xiaoshu had already prepared the meal, which was much more sumptuous than before, with two meat dishes, two vegetable dishes, and a pot of soup.

After putting away the things they bought, Ning Rushong and He Yue washed their hands and went to eat.

The etiquette and rules he learned since childhood made Ning Rushong develop the habit of not talking while eating, and the food was really average.

Ning Rusong ate one bowl and then stopped. Li Xiaoshu put down his chopsticks and asked timidly, "Mr. He, is my cooking not tasty?"

"No, it's just that I was injured and have a poor appetite." Ning Rushong responded casually.

Li Xiaoshu wanted to say something but didn't open her mouth in the end. She lowered her head and ate her meal in small bites in silence. Her way of eating was very delicate, but inexplicably revealed a sense of awkwardness that didn't suit the behavior of a peasant girl.

He Yue was eating with relish. She herself couldn't cook, and she thought that Li Xiaoshu's cooking was very good, and he performed exceptionally well today. The meat soup was delicious when mixed with rice.

The bowls in her house were small, so He Yue finished one bowl and went for another.

The way she ate wasn't ugly, but it was definitely not elegant. She ate with big mouthfuls, which really whetted her appetite.

When He Yue finished two bowls of rice contentedly and was wiping the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, Li Xiaoshu had not finished a single bowl.

"Li Xiaoshu, take your time eating. I'm leaving first." He Yue got up and left.

Ning Rushong looked at her waist from behind, which was still very slender. He was a little confused. Where did the food he ate go?

He was just purely curious. After all, the women around him, even his mother, were so polite and elegant that they only ate half a bowl of rice.

"I'm leaving now. Please enjoy your meal, Miss Li." Ning Rushong then stood up and left.

Li Xiaoshu's hand holding the chopsticks did not move.

…………

The charm of money is always great. By the evening, the utility room where Ning Rushong lived had been completely renovated. The bedding was freshly dried, dry and warm, and all the dust had been swept away.

There was also an extra table and two chairs, which looked old but were wiped very clean, with a teapot and cups on them.

The oil lamps were also lit without hesitation. In short, everything was different.

He Yue was sitting on one of the chairs. She handed Ning Rushong a package, her fingers as white and slender as young bamboo shoots.

She always loved to talk, her bright red lips opening and closing, "Mr. He, these are three sets of the best clothes in the county, and I bought you handkerchiefs and other things."

"By the way, Mr. He, you exchanged that jade pendant for three thousand taels of silver, and it only cost less than a hundred taels to buy these things." He Yue looked up at him hesitantly, and finally said with a painful look on her face, "How about..."

Ning Rusong seemed to know what she was going to say and interrupted her, "The agreed reward is the reward, I don't need this money."

Three thousand taels of silver. The pawnshop owner probably earned more than three thousand taels, but Ning Rushong didn't care.

He Yue was very easy to understand in Ning Rusong's eyes. He casually placed the package on the table, looked at He Yue and added, "Boss He and Miss Li, just keep it with peace of mind."

Moreover, if he took the money back, the greedy woman in front of him might kick him out of the yard, and might even hide and cry.

"The hairpin is very elegant and suits Boss He very well. Is it new?" Ning Rushong suddenly changed the subject.

Although the workmanship is rough, it is much more beautiful and decent than white silk flowers.

He Yue curled the corners of her lips and stroked the hairpin on her bun, "Mr. He found it. It is indeed newly bought. I like it very much."

The woman's tone rose slightly, a little shyly, "I like this bun, but I don't know how to comb it myself."

"Boss He, you can ask the maid to comb your hair." Ning Rushong said this very smoothly.

The man's voice was gentle and calm, but He Yue thought he was just joking.

"How can I be so precious? I am not a rich man's family, how can I afford to hire maids?"

"Okay, Mr. He, have a good rest. I'm leaving now."

He Yue went to share the money with Li Xiaoshu. This was simply pie in the sky, and it was filled with silver.
