Chapter 229 Uninvited Guest
He Yunyi looked at Shang Ruoyi and her smile widened.
Lin cast her eyes on Xiao Huang who was lying at the door, feeling quite envious.
She thought for a moment and said to Shang Ruoyi, "Ruoyi, auntie has an unreasonable request."
"Aunt, please tell me."
"I wonder if you can give us two of these tigers? I think these tigers are much more useful than the guards." Lin smiled and said, "Besides, Fang Zhi is about to give birth. With a tiger guarding her, we have an extra layer of protection and feel more at ease."
"no, I'm fine."
Before Shang Ruoyi could answer, Cong Fangzhi quickly waved her hand to refuse.
No one expected her to have such a big reaction, and everyone was stunned for a moment.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, she hurriedly explained, "I have been extremely afraid of this kind of ferocious beast since I was a child. It's better not to let it stay in my yard!"
Hearing this, Lin nodded and said, "That's right. If you are scared, it's fine. But it would be bad if you startle the fetus."
Cong Fangzhi's expression gradually relaxed. Zhao Xinyin, who was standing behind her, looked at Xiao Huang with extremely frightened eyes. When she heard Cong Fangzhi's refusal, she took a breath and finally let go of her worries.
There was a hint of fear in her eyes when she looked at Shang Ruoyi. She never expected that Shang Ruoyi, with such a frail and thin body, could tame a tiger. The tiger's teeth were extremely sharp. She felt terrified every time she saw Xiao Huang yawning.
Being able to tame such a ferocious beast to this extent, one can imagine how ferocious Shang Ruoyi is.
Whenever she thought of this, she would retreat a little, as she believed that she was definitely no match for the tiger.
If she let the tiger bite her, she would be torn into pieces in an instant and become food in the tiger's mouth.
Lin touched Cong Fangzhi's belly and said with a smile: "After the New Year's Day, the baby in Fangzhi's belly will be born, and our He family will be lively again."
"Yes!" The old princess also had a smile on her face: "Our He family hasn't had such a young child for many years." She looked at the baby in Shaoyao's arms and waved.
Shaoyao handed the child to the old princess. During this period, he drank milk every day, and Shang Ruoyi also gave him spiritual spring water from time to time. The child had grown a lot compared to when he first came back. He became more and more lovely, with big, round eyes, and two dimples at the corners of his mouth when he smiled.
The old princess looked at the two dimples and her expression paused.
"Mom, what's wrong?" He Zhiyuan asked.
"Nothing, it's just that this child looks somewhat familiar." The old princess smiled and said, "I was overthinking it. How can you tell if a child this old looks like him?"
He Zhiyuan said: "How can it be such a coincidence? Jingheng and Ruoyi just happened to save the child of an acquaintance."
The old princess said nothing, but couldn't help but look at the baby in the cradle a few more times.
"Have you given it a name?"
"No." Shang Ruoyi smiled shyly when she mentioned this matter. "I have been too busy recently and haven't been able to calm down and give her a name. Grandma, do you have any good names? If she can get a name from grandma, it will be a blessing for this child."
The old princess thought for a moment and said softly, "The rain falls down the river, and the white dew has not yet dawned. You should be called Weixi."
"Wei Xi, what a nice name." Shang Ruoyi took little Wei Xi and said with a smile, "From today on, you will be called He Wei Xi."
The baby seemed to understand and started giggling.
After dinner, the whole family was busy in the main hall for a long time, until the old princess asked them to leave, and then everyone went back to rest.
Shang Ruoyi returned to the room and she flashed into the space. Xiaobai pounced on her and rubbed her hand with his big head.
Shang Ruoyi felt a sinking feeling in her heart when she thought of Cong Fangzhi's abnormal appearance during dinner.
I don’t know since when, Cong Fangzhi is no longer as close to me as before, and no longer goes to He Yunyi’s yard.
"I wish I was overthinking it."
She looked at the fruits in the space and decided to plant them in the greenhouse next year. When the weather gets warmer, the shop will also need to launch new drinks.
When she came to the pond, she saw a lot of white fish. She hadn't eaten fish for a long time and she was actually a little greedy.
There are not many lakes in Qingzhou, so there are fewer fish. Since she came here, she has rarely been able to eat fish and shrimp.
She was just about to scoop one up to grill and try when the tigers in the space suddenly became restless.
Shang Ruoyi frowned. Animals are much more sensitive to danger than humans.
The way they look, something must have happened outside.
She looked outside the space and saw three men in black appear in the room.
The three men were strong and sturdy, and it was obvious at first glance that they were martial artists.
At this time, they were searching for something in the room.
"Boss, that woman is not here. Tsk tsk, such a good opportunity is wasted."
"Hush, keep your voice down." A man whispered, "When we find the ring, the owner will definitely reward us handsomely. Then we can go to the brothel and pick out a few girls."
"Can the woman in that brothel be the same as this rich lady?"
"Alright, alright, go find her quickly! The woman will be back soon."
The three of them thought that their whereabouts were hidden and not discovered by anyone, but in fact, their every move was seen clearly by Shang Ruoyi in the space.
Shang Ruoyi was a little confused. How did these people get into the mansion? How come the secret guards outside didn't notice anything?
"There's nothing here." The leading man stood in front of the dressing table and rummaged through the jewelry box. There were only a few hairpins inside.
Shang Ruoyi doesn't like complicated accessories, and the jewelry box looks extremely shabby.
At this moment, a faint fragrance came. At first they didn't notice it, but after a while, they felt that their strength was disappearing little by little.
"Something's wrong, let's go!"
By the time they reacted, it was too late. They couldn't even move a step.
Shang Ruoyi walked out of the space and suddenly appeared in front of the three people, almost scaring them to death.
"You, you, where did you come from?"
"I should be the one asking you this!" Shang Ruoyi sneered and said, "You three thieves are so bold that you dare to come here to steal." She lit the candle and the room suddenly became bright.
At this point they had collapsed to the ground, unable to move.
"How did you get in?"
The three of them looked at each other, clenched their teeth, and remained silent.
Just then, there was a sound of fighting outside the door. Shang Ruoyi's eyes darkened. She walked to the window, opened it a little and looked outside.
I saw an old man fighting with the secret guards.
This old man actually looked somewhat familiar.
He was the one who had kidnapped He Jinghe before!
The three people lying on the ground saw the old man through the gap and gritted their teeth secretly: "Damn it, it's that old guy again."
"Brother, if that old man gets the ring first, the master will definitely skin us alive."
