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

"Hey, hey, hey, no, no, no." The matchmaker thought for a while and said, "Five taels is five taels." These two people have been seen by several groups of people, and they all think that they have bad tempers and no one is willing to buy them. Finally, someone offered a price, so it's better to make less money than to lose it.

Shang Ruoyi took out some silver and gave it to her: "Get the indentures of these people ready."

"Don't worry!" The matchmaker looked at the silver in her hand and smiled with her eyes narrowed into slits.

Everything was settled. Since Shang Ruoyi bought a lot of servants, the matchmaker even got a car to take them to the village.

Shang Ruoyi asked everyone to wait in the yard.

At first, when they heard that they were going to Shiya Village, their hearts went cold. After all, they all knew that Shiya Village was the most remote and poorest village in the entire Qingzhou. Not only that, most of the people living there were exiled prisoners. Why would the people there buy them back? The result is self-evident.

The scenery along the way became more and more desolate, and their hearts became more and more dead.

Until I saw the house in front of me, I couldn't help but stand there in a daze.

How could there be such a luxurious courtyard in this place?

Shang Ruoyi got off the carriage, walked in front of everyone, smiled and said: "From today on, you will serve here. When you come to the He family, you must abide by the rules of the He family. I don't care where you served before or who you served. From now on, you must be loyal to the He family." Her sharp eyes swept across their faces one by one: "If you are unfaithful once, you will never be used again. Do you understand?"

"Yes."

Shaoyao looked at her in astonishment. This turned out to be the second young lady of the prime minister's mansion.

Shang Ruoyi's eyes fell on her, and Shaoyao quickly lowered her head.

She kept Shaoyao and the two maids who knew martial arts, and distributed the rest to other members of the He family.

"Peony."

When Shaoyao heard the Second Young Lady calling her name, her shoulders trembled, she lowered her head, and said weakly, "Second Young Lady."

"Why are you here?" Shang Ruoyi looked at her hand: "And your hand, why did it become like this?"

Shaoyao's nose felt sore and her eyes turned red instantly.

"My dear Second Miss, after you got married, I returned to help in the kitchen. I was delivering bird's nests to Aunt Zhang that day and accidentally knocked it over. Aunt Zhang thought I was too clumsy and punished me to wash clothes by hand. That's how my hands are now."

"Then why was it sold?"

She lowered her head and whispered, "Madam Zhang said that I had ruined her favorite clothes, so she told the Madam to sell me."

Shang Ruoyi understood. What about knocking over the bird's nest and ruining the clothes? It was just an excuse to kick her out.

Although her scumbag father was evil to the core, he always liked to do those hypocritical things. He always said that servants were also human beings and could not be punished or beaten at will. There must always be a reason.

Shang Ruoyi wanted to ask him more than once, servants are human beings, so she is not a human being? He is so tolerant of servants, why does he ignore her, his own daughter?

Later, she saw Shangnian ordering a servant to beat a servant who broke a bowl to death. She finally realized that her father was not tolerant of others, but used this reputation to package himself. He was obviously not as tolerant as a prime minister, but he insisted on letting others praise him loudly.

He is extremely cold-hearted. If someone does something he doesn't like or that gets in his way, he would want to kill that person. However, he has a smile on his face that is the most sincere than anyone else's.

It was absolutely terrible.

From then on, she never asked for Shangnian's love again until she starved to death in her own little yard.

If she hadn't traveled through time, if she hadn't wanted to help Shang Yufu get married, perhaps her body would never have been discovered until it decayed.

"You combed my hair on the day of my wedding, which is also the fate between you and me. In this case, please stay by my side!" Shang Ruoyi said calmly: "I only have one request for you to stay by my side, which is loyalty. If you can't do this, you can leave. I can return the indenture to you as a reward for combing a beautiful hair bun for me that day."

When Shaoyao heard that she was willing to give her freedom, she was stunned.

She had been sold to the prime minister's mansion by her biological parents since she was a child, and she had never experienced what freedom was like. Now someone said that they were willing to return her bond to her. How could she not be excited?

She looked at Shang Ruoyi, her eyes gradually firmed, and she knelt on the ground: "I am willing to follow the Second Miss and will never betray you."

"Have you thought about it?"

Shaoyao looked at her and nodded: "I've thought about it."

"Okay." She looked at the two sisters standing behind Shaoyao and said, "You too, I don't want anyone who is disloyal or untrustworthy around me. If you want to leave, I will just consider it as fulfilling your filial piety. You can leave with the indenture."

"Will you really let us go?" The older woman looked at her in disbelief.

"I do want two guards with strong martial arts skills, but I will never force anyone."

"Then why did you buy us?"

Shang Ruoyi looked at the marks of chains on their feet and frowned. Whether it was signing a contract to sell themselves or being selected by customers, it was all legal and reasonable in Tianshun. It was normal for wealthy families to buy and sell servants, but she didn't like seeing them being chained and selected.

"I don't like seeing you guys locked up in there."

Shang Ruoyi’s words startled the two women. They didn’t expect it was because of this.

There were more than five people who wanted to buy them in the past few days. They had never seen such a look of compassion in anyone's eyes. As for the reason why they didn't buy them, it was either because the matchmaker asked for too high a price or because she felt that they were not submissive enough.

She looked back at her sister, made up her mind, and knelt on the ground: "I am Yingxue, and I am willing to stay with you, young lady." Her sister behind her also knelt down hurriedly: "I am Xunmei, and I am willing to follow you, young lady."

Shang Ruoyi nodded and looked at the three people: "Since you are willing to stay, I will not treat you unfairly."

"Thank you, girl."

When He Jingheng came back, he found a strange woman in the yard. He frowned and asked, "Who are you?"

When Shaoyao saw He Jingheng, she hurried forward and said, "Hello, Master. We are the young lady's maids."

Maid?

Thinking of what she said in the morning about going to buy some servants, he asked in a deep voice: "Where is she?"

"The young lady said to go to the greenhouse."

He Jingheng turned and left.

Seeing him walking away, Shaoyao wiped the sweat from her forehead and let out a long breath. The aura of Prince Ding was too terrifying. Every time he frowned, she felt the sharp steel knife was one step closer to her neck.

When He Jingheng arrived at the greenhouse, Shang Ruoyi was planting a plant he had never seen before in a field, with red fruits growing on it.

A strand of hair fell on her face. The warm sunlight sprinkled on her body, giving her beautiful face a layer of gold. Her curled eyelashes fluttered, like two small brushes brushing on the tip of his heart, making him feel itchy.
