Chapter 226 The Difficult Zhao Family
"The white ones are for detoxification, the blue ones are for external injuries, and the black ones are for healing internal injuries."
She went to the end of the bed and took out a water bag from the cabinet: "The water in this is carefully prepared by me. Use it when you are tired or injured."
"Okay." Seeing her running around for him, He Jingheng felt very warm in his heart.
At this time, Shang Ruoyi handed him a musket: "Take this, use it for self-defense, and this." She put the grenade in a cloth bag: "It's New Year's Day soon, go early and come back early."
"it is good."
He Jingheng held her in his arms and stroked her soft long hair. He had followed his father to the battlefield since he was a child and had never been so reluctant to leave.
The two of them were being affectionate with each other in the room. At this moment, Yunqi was like an ant on a hot pan at the door. He had already made his master angry yesterday. If he didn't know what was good for him today, his master might just chop him to death with one blow.
Just then, the door opened and He Jingheng walked out with a satisfied look on his face and handed the cloth bag in his hand to Yunqi.
"Master, this is..."
"firearm."
An Yi's hands went limp and he almost threw the package out. It seemed that he had completely offended his master.
After the master and servant left, Shang Ruoyi tucked herself into the quilt and did not reveal her head until Shaoyao came in to help her wash up.
Shaoyao was shocked to see her blushing face: "Miss, what's wrong with you? Are you sick?"
Shang Ruoyi shook her head and was about to speak when she heard Shaoyao exclaimed: "Miss, what's wrong with your mouth? Why is it swollen?" She stepped forward quickly: "It's winter, there shouldn't be any mosquitoes! Why is it swollen for no reason..." She suddenly reacted and swallowed back all the words that were about to come out of her mouth. She had served in the concubine's room in the prime minister's mansion, so she naturally understood a lot of things.
Seeing her expression, Shang Ruoyi coughed a few times unnaturally and whispered, "Well, why don't you bring the water over?"
"Yes, yes, I will help you dress up right away." Shaoyao said with a smile, "After a while, will I have to call you Madam?"
Shaoyao knew that Shang Ruoyi had not consummated her marriage with He Jingheng, so she always called her "Miss".
"You are the only one who talks too much." Shang Ruoyi glanced at her and said, "If you keep talking nonsense, I will marry you off right now."
Peony really shut up.
After Shang Ruoyi finished dressing up, she came to the courtyard of Zhao Zhili and his wife.
Their residence was much better than that of Zhao Zhiwen and his wife. It could be considered a guest room and had a small courtyard.
When Mrs. Huo saw her, she hurriedly bowed and said, "Greetings, my dear lady."
"Mrs. Zhao, there's no need to be so polite." Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "I already know everything about you. Just stay here and wait until Mr. Zhao's injury is healed before making plans."
Hearing this, Mrs. Huo couldn't stop crying. "Thank you for saving me, my husband is a stubborn person. He didn't even know how to defend himself when others framed him. He said that the court would not wrongly accuse any honest official. Now our family is exiled here. My mother is in poor health and died of illness before we even got halfway. She doesn't even have a tomb. Fortunately, my aunt has been promised to someone else, so she wasn't implicated by our family. However, a distant relative who has been staying in our house has been implicated by us. My husband couldn't bear it, so he took all the beatings and scoldings for them along the way. That's why his health has become what it is now."
Shang Ruoyi heard this and told her to relax: "Madam Zhao, you can just stay here in Shiya Village with peace of mind. As for Zhao Zhiwen's family, you don't have to feel sorry. After all, they have been living off the land for many years in your Zhao family. You have done your best to support them. If they were willing to endure hardships and build their own house, they wouldn't be in this situation today."
In her eyes, Zhao Zhiwen and his wife deserved it.
Hearing this, Mrs. Huo nodded: "Hearing you say this, I feel much better."
Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "You said that Lord Zhao is stubborn, and so are you. It is useless to waste your energy on unworthy people and things. What you need to do now is to take good care of Lord Zhao and your son."
"Been taught a lesson."
At this time, Shaoyao stepped forward and whispered, "Miss, Mr. and Mrs. Zhao Zhiwen brought Zhao Xiyin here, saying they are here to visit Mr. Zhao."
Shang Ruoyi nodded and sneered in her heart: "Let them in!"
Mrs. Huo wiped the tears from her face. Soon, Zhao Zhiwen and his wife walked in, followed by Zhao Xinyin.
"Greetings, Madam." The three of them bowed to Shang Ruoyi.
"No need to be polite."
Zhao Zhiwen smiled and said, "If it weren't for Madam, we wouldn't even be able to have a full meal."
"It's just a small favor." Shang Ruoyi's face showed no expression, and she said calmly, "I was just thinking of sending someone to look for you. I'm thinking of going to find Master Zhang later to arrange a place for you to live. The New Year's Day is coming soon, so I want you to have a good New Year in your new home."
When the three heard this, their faces turned ugly.
Move away from here?
How can that work?
If I move away, how can I get close to that man?
Liu stepped forward and said, "Madam, can't we stay at home?"
Shang Ruoyi knew what they were thinking and sneered, "Stay in the mansion? What do you think my He family is? A refuge? Or do you think I'm as easy to talk to as Lord Zhao? Just because I'm a relative, I have to support your family of three for more than ten years."
Shang Ruoyi looked at the family of three and said, "We in the He family never keep idle people."
These words made the three of them look even uglier.
The Zhao couple looked at each other and dared not say anything. Zhao Xin thought for a moment and stepped forward and said, "Madam, you misunderstood. My mother did not explain clearly. She meant that the three of us are willing to stay in the mansion and work. We only ask you to take us in."
"Work?" Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "Tell me what you do."
"As long as you are willing to take us in, we can do anything." She suddenly knelt on the ground and said earnestly: "Madam, please."
Just then, Cong Fangzhi walked in: "Sister-in-law."
"Why are you here?"
"I was bored and wanted to chat with my sister-in-law. They said you were here, so I came over." She touched her round belly and said, "I am about to give birth. I feel at ease when my sister-in-law is at home." Her eyes fell on the other people in the room. "Is this the new maid in the mansion?"
"No." Shang Ruoyi whispered, "It's just someone I rescued. He will leave the house in a few days."
Zhao Xiyin was filled with resentment when he heard this. He had already knelt down in front of her, but she actually wanted to drive him away.
Cong Fangzhi's gaze fell on Zhao Zhili, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed. She held the handkerchief in her hand and clenched it quietly.
