"She..." The old man choked up and said, "Why is she not living well?"

"If she had lived well, would she have died early?" Shang Ruoyi sneered: "After her mother's family fell into decline, Shang Nian knew that she had no value, so he was annoyed even at the sight of her, and drove her to the most remote courtyard in the backyard, where she lived a life worse than that of an adult. She died of depression not many years later." Shang Ruoyi looked at the old man, recalling the eyebrows and eyes that were somewhat similar to his in her memory, and finally did not say anything more unpleasant.

The old man looked at her, his chest heaving violently with anger.

“Shangnian!” His deep voice was filled with deep anger: “He actually! Actually! Cough cough cough…”

He couldn't stop coughing.

Li Xia Xia stepped forward and rubbed his back: "Grandfather, please don't be angry."

The old man looked at Shang Ruoyi, his eyes reddened: "You have suffered a lot over the years."

Shang Ruoyi didn't move, just looked at him steadily. Ever since he crossed over, she had never thought about having any family connection with anyone.

This sudden blood relationship made it difficult for her to adapt.

The old man saw that she was a little reserved and knew what she was thinking.

"You came here to buy pearl clams today. Did you get any?" He changed the subject.

"Manager Lin has chosen good ones." As soon as Shang Ruoyi finished speaking, Li Xia Xia interrupted her: "Sister Shang, don't speak for that old man." Li Xia Xia told the old man all the little actions of Manager Lin today.

"Humph, it must be the work of your father and your useless brother." Ever since he became impatient and lost his temper frequently, he handed over part of the Li family's assets to his disappointing son.

I didn't expect this to be the result.

Ah Cheng and Shaoyao were guarding the door and looked at each other. They didn't expect that the Crown Princess Beiling and her entourage had discovered the secret about their life experiences.

Although the Li family is not a prosperous family, it is an imperial merchant family after all. Having the support of the mother's family behind it is much better than having no one at all.

At this moment, a gray bird landed on Ah Cheng's shoulder. He picked up the note from the gray bird's feet and frowned tightly.

"Miss." Ah Cheng whispered, "Miss, we may have to return to the mansion quickly." He handed over the note.

Shang Ruoyi read ten lines at a glance, and his mind and spirit were shocked.

The letter actually wrote down He Yu's whereabouts clearly.

Who is it?

At this time, the court officials were halfway there. If they rode fast horses, they would reach Qingzhou in three or four days.

If they were to confirm that He Yu was still alive, it would be extremely disadvantageous to them. After all, Emperor Tianshun said that if He Yu was found, he would be killed without mercy.

Now only a few officials have been sent here, and I am afraid they will be the first to come. As long as they confirm the fact that He Yu is still alive, they will punish all the members of the He family for the crime of abduction.

It seems that Emperor Tianshun has recovered.

She turned to the old man and said, "You have a good rest. I have to go back to the He family first. When the matter is settled, I will definitely come back to talk to you."

Upon hearing this, the old man nodded and looked at Shang Ruoyi with burning eyes, expecting to hear the word "grandfather" from her mouth, but until she left, the old man failed to fulfill his wish.

Seeing this, Li Xia Xia comforted him softly, "Grandfather, Sister Shang is not unreasonable, it's just that it's a little hard to accept!"

"Oh, I know, I was a little delusional." He sighed: "I guess she blames me a little. If I had known her mother, maybe her mother would not have died. She only talked about her mother's suffering. For so many years, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she must have lived ten or a hundred times more miserable than her mother." He coughed a few times, his lips turned slightly white: "It's my fault!"

Shang Ruoyi did not blame him. After all, the original Shang Ruoyi was dead. Strictly speaking, they were blood relatives, but not blood relatives.

"Miss, if we take these carriages, we will definitely not be able to make it." Ah Cheng said in a low voice.

"They can take their time. There's no rush. Let's go first." Shang Ruoyi looked at Shaoyao and asked, "Can you ride a horse?"

Shaoyao shook her head. How could a person like her ride a horse?

"That's perfect." Shang Ruoyi's eyes flashed with a smile: "Let Ah Cheng take you."

"What?" A blush flashed across Shaoyao's face. "What does this look like?"

"What else can we do?" Shang Ruoyi said with a smile, "Do you want me to take you? Let me be frank with you. If you fall off the horse, I will not be responsible."

Shaoyao glanced at Ah Cheng from the corner of her eye, only to see that there was no expression on his face. Her expectations were slowly dashed, and the blush on her face gradually faded away.

She didn't notice that Ah Cheng's hands behind his back were clenched into fists because of nervousness.

Shang Ruoyi saw what Ah Cheng was thinking, smiled and said, "Ah Cheng, would you like to take Shaoyao with you?"

Ah Cheng nodded and thought for a moment: "Will this ruin Miss Shaoyao's reputation?"

"If you don't hurry up, your master's father will be captured and beheaded by the emperor's men." She jumped on the horse and tightened the reins. Looking at the two awkward people, she smiled and said, "Have you thought it through?"

Ah Cheng sat on the horse's back, stretched out his hand to take Shaoyao away, and said softly, "Sit tight."

Shang Ruoyi raised the whip and the horse rushed out like an arrow.

Acheng and his people followed closely behind.

After two days of long journey, they finally arrived outside the village on the night of the first day.

Contrary to the news we received, the people from the capital had already arrived at Zhuangzi and wrapped him up tightly.

"Listen up, everyone inside. We are here to search under orders. Open the door immediately! Otherwise, you will be killed without mercy!"

After this period of rest, Prince He Yu's health had basically recovered. He was about to go to bed when he heard shouting from outside.

"What's going on?" He pushed the door open and asked in a deep voice.

"My Lord, it's bad. Our village has been surrounded by soldiers."

He Yu frowned, they must have been exposed.

"Your Highness, please go through the secret passage and hide in the manor next door." Just as the secret guard finished speaking, he heard the secret guard next to him say, "No, the manor next door has also been surrounded."

At this moment, the soldiers outside shouted: "If you don't open the door, we will break it in!"

"It's too late. You guys go ahead to protect the prince, and we'll stay behind to cover your retreat!"

Just then, a voice came over: "Maybe I have a better way."

Everyone looked towards the source of the sound, and saw a masked man slowly walking out from the darkness. When the secret guards saw the mask, they knew it was Master Lingjun, and said respectfully, "Divine Doctor, you are here."

Shang Ruoyi walked forward and said, "Everyone should take care of their own business. Don't worry."

He Yu looked at her and said, "Are you the miracle doctor who saved me?"

"Greetings, Your Highness. I am Lingjun, the junior. You just need to rest in your room." Shang Ruoyi bowed and said, "Let me take your pulse."

"Outside..."

"Never mind."

He Yu was lying on the bed, Shang Ruoyi's fingers fell on his wrist. He Yu looked at her hand and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly: "I didn't expect that the miracle doctor was a girl."
