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

Chapter 77: Aunt Zhao and her family are arrested

The smile that had just appeared on Shang Ruoyi's face suddenly froze.

Even He Yunyi could see through He Jinghe's poor acting skills. The old princess had been shrewd all her life, how could she not see through it?

But why didn't she stop herself?

Just then, He Jingheng came over and asked, "How is Jinghe?"

Before Shang Ruoyi could answer, He Yunyi came out and recounted what Shang Ruoyi had just done with exaggeration.

"Brother, my sister-in-law is amazing!"

She thought she would get a compliment from He Jingheng, but he just glanced at her calmly and said, "I didn't ask you."

He Yunyi: “…”

Shang Ruoyi's doubts were answered.

She finally understood why He Yunyi was so depressed when she was in the palace. With a brother like that, she would also be depressed.

Shang Ruoyi touched her head and said, "It's getting late. You've been busy for a long time today. Go back and rest early."

After sending He Yunyi away, Shang Ruoyi whispered, "What Yunyi said is almost right. He Jinghe was indeed pretending to be unconscious. I think he is closely related to the death of my second uncle."

He Jingheng nodded. He Ning'an's death was too sudden and beyond his expectations.

The next morning, when Shang Ruoyi came to give He Jinghe acupuncture, the old princess was already waiting there.

"grandmother."

"Good boy, thank you for your hard work."

He Jinghe looked at the silver needle with despair. After the first injection, his throat recovered.

So for the next half hour, He Jinghe's screams continued to ring in everyone's ears.

The old princess sat calmly aside drinking tea.

After the acupuncture, He Jinghe's body was soaked with sweat. He had not eaten anything for a day and a night. He was hungry and in pain. He said to the old princess, "Grandma, I haven't eaten yet. Can you let me eat something first?"

The old princess looked at Shang Ruoyi: "Can he eat?"

"Don't worry, grandma. I've asked the kitchen to prepare everything."

After he finished speaking, the servant brought a bowl of white porridge.

"You are sick now, you can only drink some porridge."

White porridge······

He Jinghe wanted to cry, but he would just eat the porridge! It was better than going hungry.

At this time, Yingxue came in and said, "Miss, the strawberry picker is here."

Shang Ruoyi came to the greenhouse and saw a man in purple standing in front of the greenhouse, looking around curiously.

"What's the matter, sir?"

Xu Zimo heard the voice, turned around and looked, and was shocked. He gritted his teeth secretly: What kind of fate is this He Jingheng? He can actually marry such a beautiful prince's wife. This face is not even comparable to Shen Shuyi, who is known as the most beautiful woman in the capital. It's really strange, how come I have never seen such a beautiful girl in the capital for so many years? That day, I only saw her profile and knew that she was an extremely beautiful girl. Seeing her face today, it can be said that I am shocked.

How could he know that if Shang Ruoyi had not been marrying in place of Shang Yufu, she would have been forgotten by the Shang family to who knows where in the world.

"I'm here to get some strawberries. Doesn't the girl sell 15 baskets of strawberries to Tianxiangju every day?"

Shang Ruoyi looked at his attire. Generally speaking, the shopkeeper would send servants to pick up the goods, but the man in front of her was obviously not a servant. Looking at the clothes he wore, one could tell that he was either rich or noble.

"So it's Sister Qian's people." She said to Yingxue behind her, "Put the strawberries on the young master."

"Yes."

Xu Zimo smiled and said, "Miss, I would like to ask, where did you get these strawberries?"

"It's in the woods ahead." She pointed to the dense forest to the east. "After transplanting it back, I made some improvements and it became what it is now."

Xu Zimo nodded as if he understood, he didn't believe that there were such delicious fruits in that forest. He Jingheng's wife was quite good at lying, but the excuse she made was not convincing. It was obvious that she was fooling him, but he had no right to refute it.

As they were talking, fifteen baskets of strawberries were loaded onto the car.

"I see you have a lot of things growing in this house. Do you have anything good to sell to me?"

Shang Ruoyi looked at him in surprise and said, "There are indeed many good things in my greenhouse, but they are all very valuable. Can you make the decision on such a business?"

Xu Zimo secretly thought that Shang Ruoyi was too smart, and smiled: "I'm just asking, these things naturally require money and the shopkeeper makes the decision."

At this time, a servant came over and whispered, "Sir, the car has been loaded."

Although the voice was soft, Shang Ruoyi heard every word clearly.

He is indeed not an ordinary person, whether in terms of dressing or appearance and aura, he is definitely not an ordinary person. Although he cannot be compared with He Jingheng, he is far superior to ordinary rich young men. However, judging from his accent, he seems to be from Beijing.

At this time, Shaoyao came over and said, "Miss, the official has come to your house, and Aunt Zhao and her family have come with them."

Aunt Zhao?

When they arrived at the place of exile, Aunt Zhao and her family saw that she had chosen a thatched house, so they chose a stone house for themselves. After that, she rarely appeared in front of them. As time went by, Shang Ruoyi completely forgot about these three people.

"Since your family is busy, I will not bother you anymore. Here are three hundred taels." Xu Zimo bowed and said goodbye: "We will see each other again."

After saying this, he got on the carriage and left.

Shang Ruoyi looked at the back of the carriage leaving and asked in a deep voice: "Shaoyao, do you know who he is?"

"Miss, since I entered the Prime Minister's residence, I have been serving the concubine in the residence. The concubine does not have many opportunities to leave the residence, and I have rarely left the Prime Minister's residence."

Shang Ruoyi nodded. Wasn’t she the same?

She has never stepped out of the house since she was born.

Shang Ruoyi handed the banknote to Shaoyao: "Take it to the accounting office."

Shaoyao was shocked to see that she was so confident in handing over the three hundred taels of silver to her: "Miss, aren't you worried that I will tamper with these silver notes?"

Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "If you employ someone, trust him. If you doubt him, don't employ him. Since I let you serve me, I will trust you. Besides, if you follow me, I will not treat you unfairly. The people around me should not even look down on a mere three hundred taels of silver."

Shaoyao was shocked and her eyes were slightly red. She didn't expect that she would meet a master like Shang Ruoyi. So what if she was in this place of exile? In her opinion, this place was much more comfortable than the capital.

Shang Ruoyi came to the main hall and thought that they were sent by County Magistrate Zhang, but in fact they were officials from the town, and the leader was the person she saw in the grain store that day.

He Jingheng was also there at this time, and Shang Ruoyi walked behind him and asked, "Sir, why are you here today?"

At this time, two yamen runners brought up three people, who were Aunt Zhao, He Qinian and Lin Shuyu.

The old princess asked in confusion: "Sir, why are you holding them?"

"They are from your He family, right?"

"Exactly."

"These three people actually tried to escape secretly, but were caught by my servants."

what?

Escaping from exile is a serious crime that will implicate your family.
