Just as he was about to take a step forward, he saw Wang Erzhu walk up to her and whisper something to her. Shang Ruoyi smiled, pointed at the plant in her hand, and said a few words. Wang Erzhu showed a look of understanding and turned away.

He frowned and walked forward, looking at Wang Erzhu's back as he left, his eyes dimmed: "What were you talking about just now?"

Shang Ruoyi saw him coming over and smiled, "He is asking me about the things I need to pay attention to when growing strawberries."

He Jingheng looked at the plant she was fiddling with. The red fruit on it was emitting an extremely strong fragrance. He couldn't help but ask, "Is this thing called strawberry delicious?"

Shang Ruoyi heard this and picked a strawberry and put it into his mouth: "You will know after trying it."

A taste he had never tasted before flowed into his mouth. It was the most delicious thing he had ever tasted.

Shang Ruoyi saw that he seemed to be savoring the fruits, so she handed him another one and said, "These red ones are ripe. I'll pick some more and bring them back to the mansion for grandma and the others to taste. But don't pick them all. I'm thinking of taking them to the county town to sell these days!"

“Go to the county town to sell it?”

Shang Ruoyi nodded: "I asked around when I was giving acupuncture to Zhao Junyi. There are very few wealthy families in our town. If you want to make money, you have to go to the county town."

"How are we going to get to the county town? Relying on those two maids you bought who only know mediocre Kung Fu?" When He Jingheng saw the maids in the yard, he knew that two of them knew Kung Fu, but they were just fancy moves and were not worth mentioning in front of real masters.

Shang Ruoyi smiled and looked at him: "I'm worried about where to buy servants to look after the house! I wonder if the prince has any connections?"

He Jingheng's lips curled up slightly when he heard this. He knew that this woman had seen through his disguise, so he simply stopped acting in front of her: "When did you find out?"

"What did you find?" Shang Ruoyi turned around and said nonchalantly, "Sir, please don't speculate. I don't know anything."

Seeing that she knew the truth but pretended to be confused, He Jingheng stopped forcing her and said with a smile, "Okay, the guard will be sent to you this afternoon."

"Thank you very much, Your Highness."

He Jingheng looked at the strawberries and asked in confusion: "Where did you find this seedling?"

Shang Ruoyi continued to move her hands: "We found it in the dense forest before, and then asked Wang Erzhu to bring people to dig it back."

He Jingheng frowned, knowing that she was fooling him again. He had walked through this dense forest before, but where had he seen plants that grew like this?

Seeing that she was unwilling to tell the truth, he did not force her.

Not long after, Yingxue came to look for her: "Miss, a group of people came to your house, saying they are the guards you asked for."

Shang Ruoyi was delighted. She didn't expect He Jingheng to act so quickly.

She told Wang Erzhu and the others to continue, and then followed Yingxue back.

At this moment, He Yunyi came running over happily. When she saw her, her eyes lit up: "Sister-in-law."

"What's wrong?" Shang Ruoyi said with a smile, "Why are you running? Don't let grandma and mother see you, or they will say that I led you astray."

"Sister-in-law, did you really grow that fruit called grass?" He Yunyi smacked her lips and said, "I didn't even eat a few of them. My grandmother put them all away."

"There are some in the greenhouse." She turned to Yingxue and said, "Go pick another basket."

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cong Fangzhi also came over: "Sister-in-law, that strawberry..."

Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "I've had someone send a basket of them to your yard a long time ago."

Cong Fangzhi was overjoyed when she heard this. She had no appetite in recent days and vomited everything she ate. But miraculously, she did not vomit when she ate strawberries just now. Not only that, she even had a good appetite and ate two pieces of dessert.

"Sister-in-law, you are partial. You gave so much to my third sister-in-law and only gave me a little." He Yunyi curled her lips.

"How old are you? You're actually fighting for food with the fetus in your third sister-in-law's belly."

The three of them returned to the mansion talking and laughing. This scene was so dazzling in the eyes of He Jinghe who was far away.

Why? Why do they live so happily? And I am like a rat crossing the street, unable to raise my head in the crowd?

Now the entire Shiya Village knows that they have the blood of lowly people flowing in their veins. In Tianshun, prostitutes are the lowest class of people, and the children born to prostitutes are even lower class.

This was undoubtedly a huge blow to him, who was once a high and mighty prince.

In addition, there was no money, and when Zhang was arrested, there was not a single ounce of silver left in the house.

His father was even more devastated. The injured part of his hand had become infected, but he had no money to treat it.

He was really desperate and wanted to work to support his family, but the people who knew his background would not let him in, as they thought that a child born to a prostitute would bring disgrace to their family.

There was no other way, so he set his sights on the He family again.

This was his first time to visit the He family’s newly built house.

Looking at the house which was no worse than the royal palace, he gritted his teeth and walked in.

At this time, in the main hall, Shang Ruoyi had just assigned the guards that He Jingheng had found, when she heard a maid's voice: "Sir, you can't go in. Let me go back to the old lady first..."

At this time, He Jinghe's figure had appeared in front of everyone.

He Jinghe looked at the room that was exactly the same as the one in the palace, feeling angry and annoyed.

He came to the old lady and knelt on the ground with a plop: "Grandma, please save my father."

The old princess frowned when she heard this, and the smile on her face disappeared: "Stand up and talk."

"I won't get up unless grandma agrees." He Jinghe knelt there, looking unmoved.

Shang Ruoyi saw the obvious impatience on the old princess's face and sneered: "Since you refuse to say, just drag you out." She winked at the guards standing in the main hall, and two guards walked up aggressively and dragged him out without saying a word.

He Jinghe didn't know any martial arts, and he didn't have enough food to eat all day, so how could he be their opponent?

He was picked up like a chicken.

"Wait, wait, wait!" He Jinghe shouted, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"

Shang Ruoyi heard this and asked the guard to put him down: "Just tell me what you have to say!"

"Grandma, my father has had a high fever for days. Maybe the wound he got that day got infected. I wanted to go to town to get a doctor, but I don't have any money. Grandma, can you give me some money to pay for my father's treatment?"

Lin, who was sitting next to him, snorted coldly when she heard this: "Your father deserves it. If he didn't want to be violent towards his sister-in-law, who would hurt him? It's normal for him to have a purulent infection now."

"Third Uncle, how can you say that about my father? He is your brother after all."

"Hey, don't say that when you go out. I don't want others to know that I have a brother who gave birth to a child of a prostitute. I can't even hold my head up in front of people."
