Noble Lady
Chapter 233 Easy to slip
Yu Shu's hand paused, not daring to say anything.
He Ruyi had already put on an unhappy face, "My cousin is well-informed."
Ji Minrou pulled the corner of her mouth and said, "You, a maid, have lost your virginity. I am not an innocent girl, how could I not see this?"
He Ruyi's face relaxed a little and he gestured to Yushu to open the food box.
"To be honest, cousin, it happened just two days ago. You know I'm in a heavy body right now, and my husband is so young and full of vigor. I can't ask him to stay by my side."
As he said this, he glanced suggestively at Camellia who was standing next to Ji Minrou.
When her mother gave Zhang Mama, who had given birth to her, to Ji Minrou, it was natural that she had to take care of her until she gave birth. But letting Camellia, who was about to leave home to get married, come to Ji Minrou, wasn't it obvious that she wanted her to use Camellia to win over a man?
If someone as slow-witted as her could figure this out, how could Ji Minrou, who is so smart, not figure it out?
There are ways and methods to find a woman for your man. She missed the opportunity before. He Minzhi has been very busy recently and has not come to her at all. How can she have the chance to find a woman for him?
But how could she possibly say these words to He Ruyi?
Ji Minrou and He Ruyi looked at each other and then looked at the food box.
The opened food box was divided into layers. The top layer contained two different kinds of cold cakes. Next to it was a bamboo tube cup with carvings, which was tightly covered. No one knew what was inside.
If you pull out this layer, you can see a large piece of ice on the layer underneath.
That slight coolness comes from here.
Ji Minrou raised her eyebrows: Is that all you have? Showing it to her on purpose? Who are you trying to embarrass?
"Cousin, would you like to try it?" He Ruyi took the initiative to push the carved bamboo cup in front of Ji Minrou.
Ji Minrou thought to herself: Why do you ask me to eat something of unknown origin? Do you think I'm stupid?
He Ruyi then said, "Last time I was at Xue Chenyu's place, I saw her drinking non-stop, looking quite content. Later, I asked Yushu to find out what this thing is called. It's called bamboo tube sour plum soup, and it tastes fantastic when chilled."
"Sour plum soup isn't something that's new today. What's so new about making a bamboo tube?" Ji Minrou sneered.
It's just a trick that some unscrupulous merchants came up with to trick people into spending money. She owns her own shop now, so she can't be fooled by such tricks.
"Cousin, don't you believe me?"
Ji Minrou thought to herself: Of course I don’t believe it. With your brain, you believe whatever others say. You are as stupid as a pig.
"If you don't believe me, you can try drinking it yourself." He Ruyi skillfully inserted the thin bamboo tube into the bamboo cup and pushed it in front of Ji Minrou.
Ji Minrou hesitated for a moment.
He Ruyi simply drank it in front of her, "I drank it, now you believe I didn't do anything wrong."
Ji Minrou looked at her doubtfully, and after making sure that she was fine, she tried to drink two sips.
It is icy when you put it in your mouth. After being chilled like this, the sour plum juice tastes even better than before, and you feel like all the heat in your body has dissipated.
I feel numb from head to toe.
"This……"
"Now you believe me, right?" He Ruyi said proudly.
The pride in her eyes seemed to be saying that whatever Xue Chenyu could afford, I could also afford to eat. Now I can also let you afford it. You should thank me.
Ji Minrou originally didn't care about such a cup of sour plum soup, but when He Ruyi looked at her like that, she felt a desire to win.
A sip of iced sour plum soup and a bite of cold cake, filling his mouth.
"Please leave some for me, this thing is not cheap!" He Ruyi hurriedly reached out to grab the jelly.
She originally wanted to keep the jade book for a longer time, just so that she could use more ice and use it as she pleased, so she gave the jade book to Cui Hua in advance.
Fortunately, Cui Hua didn't take Yu Shu to heart. After two days, she let Yu Shu come back to her side and take good care of her.
Of course, she couldn't tell Ji Minrou these words.
The two of them were fighting over the cold cake in the room. Mother Zhang, who had just returned from reporting to Old Madam Liu, saw this scene as soon as she entered the room and was so scared that her face turned pale.
"Stop eating, you can't eat anymore!" She rushed forward and knocked away the half cup of iced sour plum soup and jelly cake in Ji Minrou's hand.
Ji Minrou was startled and slapped him hard with her backhand, "You want to die!"
Mother Zhang was so frightened that she stuttered. Her face was swollen, but she didn't care. She pulled Ji Minrou and said, "Hurry, hurry, we have to see a doctor."
"Mother Zhang, why are you so mad? Do you know how much silver the things you just knocked over are worth?" He Ruyi slammed the table and stood up, looking very arrogant.
Mother Zhang stammered, "You can't eat this when you're pregnant. You can't eat it."
She repeated it twice, finally calming down a bit. She turned around and told Camellia, "Go and tell the old lady that the cousin has eaten a lot of cold food. We need to call a doctor immediately, otherwise it will be too late."
Camellia didn't understand, but didn't dare to ask any more questions, so she walked out quickly.
He Ruyi gave a look, and Qiuyue and Yushu stopped Camellia.
"Where do you want to go?" He Ruyi walked up behind her. "Actually, no one is allowed to leave this door unless you explain clearly."
As he spoke, he asked Qiuyue and Yushu to hold the person down, and one of them slapped her in the face.
"Mom Zhang, I..." Camellia looked at Mom Zhang helplessly, her eyes full of helplessness and grievance.
Mother Zhang also felt aggrieved. She looked at He Ruyi anxiously. Several times, the words she wanted to say were on the tip of her tongue, but she swallowed them back because she felt it was unlucky.
Pregnant women should not eat such cold foods, otherwise it is easy to have miscarriage, especially in the first three months!
If you are not careful, you may lose the child!
She thought and thought before finding the right words, "Second Aunt, this situation is urgent and we can't delay any longer. Please ask Camellia to call the old lady and ask someone to call a doctor."
"Otherwise, it will waste time, which will be bad for both you and my cousin."
He Ruyi didn't take it seriously. "We just had some iced sour plum juice and some cold cakes. We didn't take any poison. How could it be bad? Do you know how much silver the thing you just knocked over is worth?"
After saying that, Qiuyue slapped Camellia again.
"You bastard, you don't listen to your master's orders, but listen to a dead old woman. I think you are not in your right mind."
"You!" Camellia glared angrily, clenched her teeth, and her eyes were full of hatred.
Qiuyue was relying on the power of others at this time and was not afraid at all.
Little did she know that she would always have to pay the price for her actions.
"No, no, no, don't do it, don't do it, let's talk it over!" Mother Zhang was so anxious that she kept gesticulating, "Second Aunt, you really misunderstood, I was just in a hurry..."
"It doesn't matter if you can't give a reasonable explanation." He Ruyi interrupted her abruptly, "Just compensate according to the price."
Mother Zhang hesitated for a moment. If she didn't satisfy her second aunt, she might not be able to get out of the door.
To be honest, wouldn't they be upset after hearing this?
Mother Zhang could only bite the bullet and ask, "...I don't know, how much is all this in total? I'll pay for it."
"How much do all this add up to? I'll pay you." He Ruyi imitated her tone, twisting her body as she did so, her blatant sarcasm undisguised. "Do you know how much silver it is? How many coins do you have?"
Mother Zhang's heart sank. "...How much?"
"The ice in the sour plum soup is worth one tael of silver, and the carved bamboo cup is worth five coins, not to mention the two cold cakes that can only be bought at Xunweilou. You have to queue for an hour to buy one, and each one costs two taels of silver."
"Oh my god!" Mother Zhang sat down on the ground.
She only received one or two taels of silver a month, but the old lady asked her to take care of her cousin until she gave birth. As long as the child was born safely, she would be given an extra 500 coins a month.
Do those people eat money? What kind of cake costs two taels of silver?!
No, no, it’s not about money. The most important thing is to save the baby in my cousin’s belly!
After a brief moment of shock, Mother Zhang quickly got up and said, "Second Aunt, please stop making trouble. I don't have that much money. If we delay any longer, it will be too late..."
Before she could say anything, Ji Minrou suddenly held her stomach and cried out "ouch".
"Why does my stomach hurt so much?"
Before he finished speaking, He Ruyi started to howl, "My stomach hurts so much."
