Three taels of silver, is that too much?

This undoubtedly shocked He Yunyi.

In the past, she would spend more than three taels of silver on a meal at a restaurant in the capital.

"You haven't really seen the sufferings of this world." Shang Ruoyi touched her head and smiled, "Thank you for your hard work today. When I go back tonight, I will definitely praise you to your brother."

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Back at the He Mansion, the old princess looked at He Yunyi with some distress and pulled her to her side: "Are you tired?"

"Not tired!" He Yunyi told the old princess and Qin everything that happened today.

"Really? Someone is here to cause trouble?"

He Yunyi nodded: "Yes, fortunately my sister-in-law is smart and saw through their plan in no time, otherwise who knows what would happen today!" When Shang Ruoyi was mentioned, He Yunyi's eyes lit up and she said proudly: "My sister-in-law is so amazing!"

"Then you should learn more from your sister-in-law. If you have the same ability as your sister-in-law, I won't worry about you getting married in the future." The old princess took a bite of the dessert and said lightly: "With Ruoyi in our He family, I can rest assured even after a hundred years."

"Grandma..." He Yunyi heard her say this and hurriedly said, "Grandma will live a hundred years."

"Silly child, everyone will die one day, I have been prepared for this." The old princess smiled and said, "I thought I would die on the road of exile. I fell ill many times and it was Ruoyi who saved me. Now I look healthy, but grandma is old and will eventually return to dust. Jingheng's words that day woke grandma up. People have to rely on themselves to go a long way. When I can no longer protect you, you still have to rely on yourselves."

Qin said softly, "This is probably what Ruoyi said to him."

The old princess nodded: "It is no wonder that our He family has been loyal for generations. We are blessed by our ancestors to have Ruoyi as our daughter-in-law!"

He Yunyi thought for a moment and said, "Sister-in-law is indeed different from all of us. She knows a lot of things that I have never even heard of."

"Don't even mention you. Even I haven't heard of it." The old princess smiled and said, "I have lived to my age, but I don't know as much as the younger generation. If I tell others about this, people will laugh at me."

"My sister-in-law said that her mother taught her."

When her mother was mentioned, the old princess' eyes flickered but she said nothing.

At night, Shang Ruoyi had just fallen asleep when she heard the door creak open.

He Jingheng came in in a wheelchair.

After not seeing each other for a few days, Shang Ruoyi smiled and asked, "Why did you suddenly come back today?"

He Jingheng looked unhappy: "The people who came to cause trouble today were sent by Zhao Junyi."

Trouble today?

"Are you saying you're here to extort money?"

"Ah."

Shang Ruoyi didn't expect that he would pay attention to these things: "I guessed it was him. All he cares about is money. He is the only one who dares to ask for five hundred taels."

Seeing that she looked indifferent, He Jingheng frowned even deeper.

"Don't worry, I have my own way to deal with him." Shang Ruoyi's eyes flashed with light: "It won't be long before he comes to me crying and begging me."

Seeing her like this, He Jingheng felt both happy and helpless.

He was naturally happy that she was resourceful and capable, but he felt frustrated with her time and again.

All along, she seemed to not need him at all, but he was the one who couldn't live without her. Now, not only he, but the entire He family couldn't live without her.

Just as he was lost in thought, a faint fragrance wafted into his nose.

I saw Shang Ruoyi squatting in front of his legs without knowing when.

His eyes were focused on the leg that was going to be operated on.

Pinch it from time to time.

His throat rolled unconsciously a few times, and the skin touched by her fingers felt like it was burned by flames.

But when her hands moved away from his legs, he felt a sense of emptiness again.

This kind of extreme contrast between ice and fire is truly a sweet torture.

Finally, Shang Ruoyi finished the examination and stood up, with a hint of surprise in her voice: "I didn't expect that your leg has recovered so well. It won't take half a month. You can have surgery anytime now."

Normally, he should be extremely happy to hear such news, but He Jingheng was lowering his head slightly at this time, without any reaction.

"What's wrong? Aren't you happy that I can heal your leg?"

He still didn't respond.

Shang Ruoyi was about to go forward to see what was going on when she saw him quickly turn the wheelchair around and push it toward the door. When he reached the door, his slightly hoarse voice came out: "I still have things to do, you should rest first!"

Shang Ruoyi nodded in confusion, looked at his departing back, and said secretly, "It's inexplicable."

He Jingheng came to the yard, took a few deep breaths, and recited the Heart Cleansing Mantra several times before he was able to barely suppress the evil fire in his body.

I didn't expect that after being pure and abstinent for so many years, I almost couldn't control myself today.

He smiled bitterly, he was really in trouble this time.

"What did you say?" Zhao Junyi looked at the guard in front of him and threw the teacup in his hand on his head. The man's head immediately started bleeding.

"If you can't even handle a woman, what's the point of me supporting you?"

The guard was so frightened that he dared not breathe, and lowered his head and said, "Sir, who could have expected that woman to be so cunning? She didn't even frown in front of so many people."

"Are you a pig? She knows medical skills, but you are rushing into her blade. Aren't you courting death?" Zhao Junyi said angrily, "You are a bunch of trash! Get out!"

When the guard heard this, he felt as if he had been pardoned and rushed out.

Zhao Junyi scratched his neck twice, and the painful and itchy feeling he had felt in recent days came back again.

"Damn little bitch." He grabbed his neck a few more times, and suddenly a pain came over him. He felt something extra on his hand, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be a small piece of flesh.

hiss······

He looked at the flesh on his hands in horror and felt like he had no strength left in his body.

He suddenly thought of what Shang Ruoyi had said before.

If the poison is not treated, the skin and flesh on the body will fall off piece by piece.

I thought she was just bluffing, but it turned out to be true.

How could he care about anything else? He crawled out of the room.

The guard had not walked far when he saw Zhao Junyi rushing towards him. He thought he was here to kill him and was so scared that he almost wet his pants.

Zhao Junyi walked past him and headed straight towards the He family. At this time, Shang Ruoyi had already fallen asleep.

As soon as Zhao Junyi arrived at the door of the He family, two strong men stopped him: "Who?"

At this time, another piece of flesh fell off his body, and blood dyed his neck red, looking extremely terrifying.

"How dare you! I am the official here! Why don't you get out of the way!" Zhao Junyi shouted angrily: "Bring that woman Shang Ruoyi out!"

"Our young mistress has gone to bed. If you have anything to say, please come back tomorrow!"
