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

"How do you say this?"

"She doesn't look like a boudoir girl at all."

"Why would a concubine care so much? His Highness wants us to keep an eye on Prince Ding's son, He Jingheng."

The man thought about it and felt that what he said made sense. A concubine's daughter simply knew some strange things and could not cause any waves, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

People held bowls of water and drank it in big gulps. A normal person would go into shock if they didn't drink water for a few days. But not only did they not have any water to drink, they also walked such a long way under the scorching sun, and their bodies had long reached their limits.

Now everyone had drunk enough water and lay on the floor of the inn, feeling extremely satisfied.

He Jinghe glanced at Shang Ruoyi. He didn't expect that this woman was so capable and actually knew things they had never heard of before.

"Humph, she's in the spotlight again. A woman is out in the spotlight all day long, and she doesn't feel ashamed." Zhang took a big gulp of water and pouted, "He Jingheng can't even take care of his own wife. Humph, he's already a useless man. Who knows how many green hats he'll have on his head in the future!"

Although Zhang's voice was soft, Shang Ruoyi heard it clearly, and the people around her also heard most of it.

She walked straight forward, snatched Zhang's bowl and threw it on the ground, breaking it into pieces.

"You little bitch! How dare you smash my bowl!" Zhang stood up and said angrily, "Do you still have elders in your eyes? Do you have respect for the young and the old?"

"Seniority? Elders? Are you qualified?" Shang Ruoyi said coldly, "As the old saying goes: If you drink water, don't forget the well digger. Even pigs and dogs know to be grateful. How come Second Uncle doesn't understand such a simple truth? How come you are worse than pigs and dogs?"

"How dare you scold me!" Zhang rolled up her sleeves and raised her hand to hit her.

How could Zhang be Shang Ruoyi's opponent? Before she could even move her hand, Shang Ruoyi grabbed her wrist and threw her aside fiercely: "What? Second aunt is going to use force just because she can't convince me? Is your mouth just for show? If I don't treat you as a human being, you will really stop being a human being, right?"

Zhang was so angry that she was shaking all over. He Ning'an watched on without saying a word. He felt it was humiliating for a man to step forward when women were quarreling. He Jinghe took a look and turned his head away.

The day before yesterday, they quarreled in public and Zhang didn't give him any face, so he wouldn't step forward. Besides, his mother couldn't control her mouth. Not to mention now, in the past when she was in the Prince's Mansion, she often gathered with those gossipy women to gossip about other families. As a man, he naturally didn't like these.

The prisoners around were watching the excitement, and Zhang felt as if her wrist was broken.

"Ouch, it hurts! My wrist!" she cried, "Sir, please help me!"

The police officer had already seen it, but he didn't even turn his head, allowing Zhang to scream there.

"Second aunt, I respect you as my elder and call you aunt, but please don't think I'm easy to bully." After she finished speaking, she picked up a stick as thick as an arm from the ground.

"What? Are you going to hit me again?" Zhang took a few steps back, her back hitting the wall, and watched Shang Ruoyi getting closer and closer with a stick in her hand.

The other people in the second room just frowned and showed no intention of stepping forward to help.

"What did you do? I just said a few idle words, and you didn't lose anything. Beating your elders, is this the upbringing in your mansion?" Zhang leaned against the wall, with nowhere to retreat. Shang Ruoyi raised the stick with a cold look.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, I won't say it again!" Zhang squatted on the ground with her head in her hands.

"Crack!" With a crisp sound, the wooden stick broke into two pieces in her hand.

Zhang looked at her in horror; she had not expected that she had so much strength.

Shang Ruoyi's eyes were filled with coldness: "Second aunt, you are right, this is the upbringing of the prime minister's mansion." She threw the stick at her feet and said coldly: "If I hear something I shouldn't hear again, I can't guarantee what I can do with these hands."

When the prisoners who were watching the fun nearby saw Shang Ruoyi looking at them, they hurriedly lowered their heads, their eyes on their noses, and their noses on their hearts, as if to tell her that they were not the ones watching the fun.

Shang Ruoyi returned to her seat. The old princess just sighed and did not blame her for anything. After all, no one would tolerate being blamed for something that happened to them.

He Yunyi sat beside her, looking at her with sparkling eyes, and whispered, "Sister-in-law, you are so amazing! You can actually break such a thick stick into two sections. I want to learn it too!"

Cong Fangzhi, the wife of the third roommate He Jingxi, also came over and said a little embarrassedly: "Sister-in-law, I had some misunderstandings about your Xiangfu before. I thought that the people in your Xiangfu were very hypocritical."

Shang Ruoyi shook her head: "You didn't misunderstand."

Cong Fangzhi was stunned, thinking that there was a rift between Shang Ruoyi and her, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

The next moment, Shang Ruoyi said calmly, "The people in the Xiangfu are indeed hypocritical. You are absolutely right. From my father to my elder sister who is praised by everyone in the capital, they are all a group of extremely hypocritical villains."

Her words not only stunned Cong Fangzhi, but also startled Lin who was sitting nearby.

This was the first time she had heard someone speak so badly of her mother's family, but the way he had just dealt with Zhang was really beautiful and very much to her liking.

The two men who were in charge of keeping an eye on the Dingwang family gasped when they saw this.

"So Prince Ding likes this. His taste is really strong!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I wouldn't dare marry such a fierce wife."

After solving the water problem, everyone ate a meal of whole-grain cakes together and continued on their journey.

After being threatened by Shang Ruoyi with force, Zhang became much more obedient. At least she didn't dare to gossip anymore. As for how she cursed her in her heart, Shang Ruoyi didn't care at all.

The drought left many people homeless, and many refugees flocked to the vicinity of the capital. During the morning court, ministers made memorials one after another, and for a time the refugee problem in the capital gave Emperor Tianshun a headache.

He Lingsheng came to Concubine Zhao's place, and Shang Yufu happened to be there too.

"Sheng'er, you have been sighing since the end of the court. What happened?" Concubine Zhao said with concern: "No matter how tiring the affairs of the court are, there are always a thousand things to think about. You must not exhaust yourself. Your father will discuss your marriage with you soon. You can't refuse it because of official business."

He Lingsheng smiled and nodded: "Yes."

When Shang Yufu heard Concubine Zhao's words, she was delighted. Concubine Zhao talked about the prince's marriage in front of her. Wasn't it to introduce her to the prince? It seemed that Concubine Zhao was very satisfied with herself.
