"Your Highness, I didn't expect that the concubine's daughter of Prime Minister Shang would have such ability."

He Lingsheng snorted coldly: "I'm afraid Shangnian doesn't even know that his daughter has such abilities, otherwise, how could he let her marry that loser He Jingheng?"

"There is good news." The eunuch beside him whispered, "It seems that He Jingheng is really fascinated by Shang Ruoyi. Not only are his eyes glued to her all day, but according to the two informants, he also makes moves on her from time to time."

He Lingsheng frowned, "Are those two bastards talking nonsense? When did He Jingheng become the kind of person who is sentimental? Shang Yufu, who was previously engaged to him, was a famous beauty in the capital, but he didn't even look at her."

The young eunuch suddenly remembered the cakes that Shang Yufu had sent in the afternoon, and brought them up: "Your Highness, this was sent by Miss Shang this afternoon. Miss Shang left while you were discussing matters with Lord Zhao."

He Lingsheng didn't even look at it: "Throw it away."

"But······"

"Do you think I would be interested in a woman that He Jingheng doesn't even look at? And would I marry her into the East Palace?"

"Yes, I will take care of the cake right away."

He looked at the two identical silver needles on the table, his eyes dim.

The beautiful and innocent face of my childhood came into my mind again.

Shang Ruoyi, how great it would be if you were not a concubine's daughter?

That day, he was standing on the city wall looking at the thin woman in the exile team, and for the first time he doubted whether he had made the right decision to put her in the trap.

After a while, he picked up the silver needle and put it in a box.

My mother was right. As long as he sat in the highest position, he could get everything he wanted: power, money, women. The whole world would be in his pocket.

Ever since everyone knew about He Jingheng and Shang Ruoyi's abilities, they were even less willing to target them.

Zhang also began to behave herself, not even daring to look at them.

Every now and then she heard the laughter coming from the other side, and she wanted to slap herself twice. What was she thinking at that time, to actually break up with them? Yesterday, Lin changed into a new pair of shoes. The previous pair only had a hole on the instep, while her soles were worn out. She looked at the pair of shoes that could still be worn and felt itchy in her heart, so she walked to Lin and whispered, "Wanru, are you still wearing these shoes?"

Lin saw through her intention at a glance, smiled and said, "Of course I wear them, but the upper is just torn. When we get to the place of exile, we can mend them and wear them again." After saying that, she sighed and said, "It's just that Ruoyi insisted on giving me new shoes to wear."

Zhang's face darkened when she heard this. She knew that Lin said this on purpose to irritate her, but the soles of her shoes were leaking and it was really painful to walk. She didn't want to spend money to buy new shoes, so she said shamelessly, "Wanru, we had a good relationship before. Look at my shoes, they are all worn out. You already have new ones, so give me this pair!"

"Oh, sister-in-law, I'm not being stingy. I only have two pairs of shoes. If I give you one pair, what will I do? I can't always rely on Jingheng's wife!" She smiled and said, "Why don't you go and talk to Ruoyi directly? She's a hard-mouthed but soft-hearted girl. Maybe she'll give you a reward. Ah, look at my mouth. What reward or not? I'll give you a pair."

Lin had a bright smile on her face, but Zhang couldn't smile at all.

"If you don't want to give it, then don't give it. Why are you making excuses here?" Zhang said coldly, "Don't think you can rest easy just by relying on Shang Ruoyi. That little bitch is not someone you can easily deal with. Sooner or later you will regret it. Don't forget who caused our He family to fall to this point today."

Lin rolled her eyes. Why should Shang Ruoyi be blamed for Shangnian’s mistakes?

They all come from big families, so who doesn't they know about the dirty things going on there?

Shang Ruoyi is nothing more than a daughter that Shang Nian despises. He wouldn't feel the slightest bit of pain even if he pushed her into the fire pit, let alone using her to overthrow the Dingguo Palace?

Perhaps Shangnian himself did not expect that Shang Ruoyi actually had so many abilities.

"Second sister-in-law, if you are jealous, just say it. Why are you trying to sow discord and confuse right and wrong?"

Zhang snorted coldly and turned away.

The next mountain road was more difficult to walk on than before, and the temperature was much lower than before, especially in the morning and evening, it was extremely cold.

Shang Ruoyi took out thicker clothes from the package. The He family was stunned. They didn't expect that she had made such thoughtful arrangements.

He Jingxi carried this big package all the way, and he didn't even know that there were thick clothes inside.

After Shang Ruoyi sorted out the cotton-padded clothes, he tied the package again. When he put the package on his back again, he couldn't help but frown. How come this package didn't feel lighter at all?

He Yunyi was wearing a cotton coat and looked at Shang Ruoyi with sparkling eyes: "Sister-in-law, you are a fairy, right? You made all these things happen!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Shang Ruoyi's heart skipped a beat. He Yunyi was half right. These were also conjured up by her.

"I thought I was going to freeze to death." She touched the fabric of her cotton coat: "It's much more comfortable than the prison uniform!"

Shang Ruoyi handed over a few cotton-padded jackets to the official: "Sir Zhang, the weather is getting colder, please wear these cotton-padded jackets!"

"No, no, no, no need. We all carry them with us." Zhang Hu waved his hand hurriedly: "The winter in the exile land is extremely cold. You should keep these winter clothes for yourselves!"

The other officials had the same attitude.

Shang Ruoyi smiled. It turned out that in the face of strength, even the class gap could be overcome.

Zhang looked at the cotton-padded jacket in her hand, thought for a moment, and then set her eyes on Qiao Yanxin: "Go ask Shang Ruoyi for the cotton-padded jacket."

"Mom, I'm not familiar with my sister-in-law, how could she give me the cotton-padded jacket?"

Zhang said bitterly, "Are you stupid? It's because they are not familiar with each other that she can't refuse you."

Qiao Yanxin looked at Zhang with some embarrassment: "Mom, I think we should just forget it!"

Zhang heard this and twisted her arm fiercely: "Are you going or not?"

Qiao Yanxin cried out in pain, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Mom, I'll go now, please don't hit me." Her voice was loud and the people around could hear it clearly. He Ning'an felt very embarrassed and said in a deep voice: "With so many people watching, what are you doing?"

Zhang glanced at Qiao Yanxin and said, "I don't know what I was thinking when I welcomed her into the family. She is such a jinx."

With tears in her eyes, Qiao Yanxin rubbed her arms and walked to Shang Ruoyi.

Shang Ruoyi heard clearly Zhang's loud voice just now, and she naturally knew very well why Qiao came here now.

"Sister-in-law, I..."

Shang Ruoyi took out a cotton-padded jacket and said, "According to the rules, after I entered the family, I should give you and Fang Zhi a gift each. Since you called me sister-in-law today, I will give you this cotton-padded jacket. However, if you want anything else in the future, you will have to exchange it with silver."
