Ning Yu was not so scared anymore. He lifted the blue cloth and found seven or eight white flour cakes, a gourd of water, and some hemostatic plasters that his father had prepared.

"Eat quickly, these pancakes are still hot."

Ji Yun was not polite either.

Although he was extremely hungry, he still maintained elegance and dignity while eating, without a trace of rudeness.

Ning Yu watched as he finished the seven or eight pancakes in one go, even drinking up all the water.

I couldn't help but mutter, "This is like saving a glutton."

Ji Yun could only pretend not to hear, took out the jade pendant that he carried with him, and handed it to her: "This is... the jade pendant that I have carried with me since I was a child. It can be used as a token of my love. I will grant you one request."

Ning Yu took the jade pendant and could vaguely feel a hint of warmth.

"Then you can be my son-in-law!"

Ning Yu had already thought about it. She just needed a live-in son-in-law to protect the family property, and then give birth to a few children, and then kill the father and keep the sons.

Ji Yun coughed. He didn't expect Ning Yu to be so direct.

Although he had many women in the capital who admired him, this was the first time he met such a straightforward and frank woman.

Moreover, Ning Yu was just a peasant girl, not even qualified to be the concubine of a high-ranking disciple.

What’s more, she is the prince’s concubine.

Ji Yun said calmly: "I already have a wife."

Ning Yu said "Oh".

There was no extra sadness in his expression.

Ji Yun just thought that Ning Yu was suppressing her sadness and didn't want him to see her sadness.

The gap between this little peasant girl and his status is difficult to cross, so it is better to let her understand it as soon as possible.

Ning Yu delivered food and ointments for several days, but did not enter the wooden house. He just put the things outside the door.

It seems that she is really just an honest country girl.

"Host, are you leaving like this? You've only spoken a few words to Ji Yun these past few days. What if he doesn't remember you by then?"

The system was a little worried about Ning Yu.

Ning Yu had a smile on his face, his eyes flashing with cunningness.

"In the original novel, Ji Yun is a brilliant prince with ambitions for the empire. However, ever since his close brother, the Second Prince, gave him a potion that would kill him, he's become extremely vigilant and defensive. If I want to cling to him and avenge the heroine, the title of savior alone won't be enough."

The system seemed to have some understanding.

After a long time, the system realized that the host it was bound to was the real golden thigh, and it just lay down and took off.

"girl."

Ning Yu hadn't taken a few steps when a deep, magnetic voice came from behind him.

After a few days of rest, the man was able to get out of bed. The sunlight outside shone into the wooden house, outlining his handsome face with incredible clarity.

"Miss, please stay. Could you please go to the pawnshop with the plaque with the plum blossoms painted on it and pawn a dagger?"

He remembered that his mother's maternal family had set up shops in various places for the convenience of communication, and their logo was the plum blossom.

Ning Yu, carrying an empty basket, extended a snow-white hand towards him: "Reward."

Ji Yun was silent.

All the silver on him was washed away by the river, leaving only a jade pendant, but he also gave the jade pendant to Ning Yu as a token of trust.

"...The money for the dagger belongs to the girl."

Ning Yu got a satisfactory answer, and smiled, with a hint of subtle charm on her face.

Ji Yun was stunned for a moment, and kindly said, "Young lady, you can wear a veil when you go there to prevent rude people from coming."

Ning Yu nodded indifferently.

Ning Yu put on his veil hat, took his dagger, and took a nearby donkey cart to the town.

After paying the taxi fare, I walked towards the pawnshop marked with a plum blossom.

The shopkeeper saw a woman in ordinary clothes walking towards him. Although her figure was hidden by a white veil, one could still vaguely make out her graceful and elegant figure.

When the woman came closer, he could smell a fresh fragrance.

"Miss, what do you want to be?"

Ning Yu took out a dagger with intricate patterns and said, "I'll take it as my own."

The shopkeeper, who hadn't yet made an eye for it, took a closer look and saw the emblem on the dagger. His expression changed, "Excuse me, young lady, how did you get this dagger?"

Ning Yu seemed to be unaware of anything and spoke innocently, "Someone gave it to me. Is there something wrong with this dagger? Is it worthless?"

The shopkeeper twitched his lips. How could this be compared with gold and silver?

It seems that the woman in front of him does not know the identity of the prince.

But it's okay this way.

The shopkeeper had a smile on his face. "I'm just a little surprised to see this dagger. Is it for a dead or alive pawn? A dead pawn is fifteen taels of silver, a living pawn is ten taels of silver."

"Pawn it, it's a lot of money."

The shopkeeper took out some silver and handed it to Ning Yu: "Goodbye, young lady."

After seeing Ning Yu leave, the shopkeeper walked inside quickly, as if he had something urgent to do.

Ning Yu thought about getting so much silver and planned to go to the restaurant to buy some good food for Ji Yun.

After coming out of the largest restaurant in town, carrying the packed food in my hand, I didn't notice that my aunt and her family were nearby.

"Mom, is that Ning Yu?" Ning Da glanced at Ning Yu with his sharp eyes.

Li saw the familiar figure and snorted, "It's that little bitch. I didn't expect she would dare to spend our money to buy good food at the restaurant."

Li and Ning Da have already regarded the Ning family's wealth as their own.

It's just a matter of sooner or later.

Ning Da's eyes rolled around, a cunning smile on his face: "Mom, I have a way to make Ning Yu get out of the Ning family..."

When Ning Yu returned to Xinghua Village by donkey cart, it was already late in the afternoon when he arrived at the foot of the mountain.

"Sir, I've already given the dagger to the shopkeeper." Ning Yu said, as if he was guarding against thieves: "I pawned it for fifteen taels of silver. You promised to give it to me."

Ji Yun looked at Ning Yu's money-obsessed look and couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry, I'll give it all to you as promised."

Ning Yu raised the corners of her lips and opened the food she had packed from the restaurant: "Here, these are your rations for the next two days. I have something else to do, so I won't be here for now."

She plans to choose a son-in-law in the next two days.

Ji Yun nodded slightly. These two days were enough time for the secret guards to find him.

"Thank you, young lady."

The next day, Ning Yu found a matchmaker and told her his conditions.

When the matchmaker saw that Ning Yu gave a lot of money, she quickly found a few people to come over.

Each one is uglier than the other. Not to mention their appearance, one of them is lazy and relies entirely on his parents for support, while the other one hates dogs and is idle.

It was obvious that he wanted to bully Ning Yu because she was an orphan and seize the family property.

"Yu girl, you know there aren't many people willing to be a live-in son-in-law these days, and those who are willing to be one are basically not very promising, so these are the best ones I can find."

Ning Yu had no choice but to send the matchmaker away.

The system reminded: "Host, remember your mission this time. You need to have a baby with a high-quality man."

"High-quality male?"

Ning Yu was confused for a moment.

The system chuckled and said, "I think the prince is quite good."

With the host's stunning beauty and the prince's intelligence, she will definitely be able to give birth to several healthy and lovely babies.
