The divine doctor's concubine emptied the palace and went into exile

"I heard that the Jiang family used to be a merchant family, so they must be very wealthy!"

Mr. Jiang nodded and said, "My ancestors started out as cloth dealers. Although we are not as wealthy as the aristocratic families, we are still better off. I wonder why Madam Shang asked this question?"

"There is an epidemic spreading across Tianshun right now. If Master Jiang is willing to lend a helping hand, I'm sure the court will remember your kindness."

Upon hearing this, Master Jiang was enlightened. He quickly stood up and said, "Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading. Thank you for your guidance today, young lady. I understand now."

"I am just speaking casually, don't take it seriously."

After Mr. Jiang and his family left, He Jingheng was pushed in by Ah Cheng.

"So this is why you asked Yunqi to investigate the Jiang and Wei families yesterday."

Shang Ruoyi smiled slightly: "I'm just curious."

He Jingheng knew that she didn't want to say more, so he nodded: "Okay, I'm just curious."

Shang Ruoyi just smiled and said nothing.

"I didn't expect you would actually instruct him to donate money to charity."

"I heard from Yunqi that Liangzhou City has some special meaning to the Dingguo Palace. I guess even if these gentry don't raise money, the prince will give out money!" Shang Ruoyi drank the last sip of tea. The originally steaming hot tea had turned cold. "Since you are going to take money, why not use other people's money?"

"Haha." He Jingheng laughed softly: "My wife really knows how to live."

That afternoon, the news that the Wei family's eldest son was hanging out in a brothel had spread everywhere. The rumor spread like wildfire, not only did everyone in the county know about it, but people in other counties around it as well.

Even if the Wei family wanted to suppress it, they couldn't.

Wei Yan was kneeling in the main hall when the head of the Wei family threw a teacup at him.

"Have you read all the books of sages and saints? You dare to hang around in that kind of place before you even enter the government. Now that you've been exposed, how are you going to end it?" Having said this, she was still not satisfied. She picked up the ruler on the table and hit him hard on the back: "She's just a prostitute, why are you so obsessed with her? You want to marry her as your wife, are you crazy? Letting a prostitute be your wife, you've brought shame to our Wei family!"

Wei Yan knelt there, not daring to say a word.

Mrs. Wei kept wiping away tears when she saw her son being beaten.

"Cry, cry, cry, just cry! You've spoiled this brat. He's so useless. How can we hand over the Wei family to him in the future?"

When Wei Yan heard this, he looked at his father in disbelief. Could it be that his father still wanted to hand over the Wei family to that bastard?

"What are you looking at? This Wei family is mine. I can give it to whoever I want. If you don't live up to my expectations, I will give this Wei family to your half-brother." The head of the Wei family sat on the chair and panted: "You are not allowed to go to Tingyu Pavilion again. Hurry up and marry that girl from the Jiang family. Let it be known that she was angry with you and spread such rumors. Over time, people will gradually forget about this matter."

Do you still want to marry that crazy woman Jiang Meimei?

Wei Yan frowned and said in a deep voice: "I don't want to marry that crazy woman Jiang Meimei!"

When Mr. Wei heard this, he slapped him.

"Rebellious son! How dare you talk back!"

Wei Yan's head was hit to one side, with a trace of blood at the corner of his lips, which showed how strong the blow was. Master Wei was really angry.

He raised his hand and wanted to hit him again, but was stopped by Madam Wei: "Master, stop it."

Mr. Wei waved his hand and Mrs. Wei was thrown to the ground.

He pointed at the mother and son and said, "Marry the daughter of the Jiang family within ten days. As long as she is married, I will not care whether she is beaten or hurt. But if she is not married, don't blame me for being rude."

Madam Wei nodded: "Don't worry, Master. I will ask the matchmaker to facilitate this marriage immediately."

Master Wei snorted coldly and walked out.

Wei Yan was still kneeling on the ground, hatred surging in his eyes.

He has had enough of being controlled like this.

On the second day, Mrs. Wei came to propose marriage, but the Jiang family claimed to be sick and refused to see her.

Mrs. Wei was extremely anxious and had no choice but to ask for help from her brother who worked in the government office.

Ever since she married into the Wei family, Mrs. Wei has felt that she is superior to everyone else in her natal family and has been arrogant all day long. Now that she is asking to go back, she is of course not welcomed.

The Wei family was as anxious as ants on a hot pan, but Jiang Meimei was happy and relaxed. She came to the milk tea shop and pestered Shang Ruoyi to learn how to make milk tea.

That day, Ling Feng came to the shop to deliver milk again. Jiang Meimei looked at his profile and always felt that he looked familiar, but she was not sure.

Shang Ruoyi saw her expression and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, I just seemed to see an old friend, but it seemed like I recognized the wrong person." Jiang Meimei has a carefree personality, so Shang Ruoyi didn't take it to heart.

Shang Ruoyi called him to the kitchen and said in a deep voice, "There is one thing I want to ask you."

"Girl, please tell me."

"You have a farm here, which means you are not short of money. Why do you want to follow me?"

Ling Feng smiled and said, "Who said I don't need money?" He took out a few copper coins from his pocket and said, "These are the only copper coins I have left. I don't even know how to solve the problem of dinner."

Shang Ruoyi looked at the copper coin in his hand and couldn't help choking.

She took out fifty taels of silver and gave it to him: "It was my negligence."

Ling Feng took the silver and said, "Thank you for the reward, young lady."

Shang Ruoyi saw the calluses on his palms and frowned slightly.

This is a mark that only people who have practiced sword for many years will have.

What was the reason why he stayed by her side?

He Jingheng's legs are recovering better and better, and he can now walk on the ground with the help of something.

The old princess and Qin were extremely happy when they saw this, and they looked at Shang Ruoyi even more kindly.

To them, Shang Ruoyi was the benefactor who saved their Dingguo Palace.

However, in front of outsiders, He Jingheng still sat in a wheelchair.

No one would have thought that his legs had recovered.

That day, Shang Ruoyi just arrived at the shop, and saw He Yunyi absent-mindedly making milk tea, and she didn't even notice that the milk was spilling.

"What are you thinking about?" Shang Ruoyi walked forward and asked with a smile: "Could it be that you are missing a certain man?"

"Sister-in-law, what are you talking about!" He Yunyi wiped the spilled milk and said with a red face, "I didn't."

Hearing her say this, Shang Ruoyi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

I just said it casually, but her reaction was so big that it was like she was trying to cover up something. Isn't it just a confession?

He Yunyi also found that her reaction was a bit too intense.

Blushing, she said, "It's not a big deal." She told her the whole story of how she was assassinated and rescued that day.

"I thought nothing had happened, so I didn't let them tell you and your brother, for fear that you would worry."

Shang Ruoyi frowned when she heard this.

A hero saves a beauty?

How could it be such a coincidence?
