Shang Ruoyi was always paying attention to the movements here.

The hidden weapon was so fast and powerful, and Ah Cheng was so close to it that he had no time to react.

Seeing the hidden weapon was about to fall on him.

Shang Ruoyi's body flashed with silver light, and two silver needles suddenly shot out.

"Ding." With a crisp sound, the hidden weapon was knocked to the ground by one of the silver needles, and the other silver needle was completely embedded in Chuan'er's arm.

"Ah!" There was only a scream, and Chuan'er covered his arm, his face turning purple.

There was no poison on the silver needle, just some liquid medicine that amplified the pain. Chuan'er's arm was pierced, but the pain was like his arm was chopped off.

Shang Ruoyi's face was cold, and she whispered, "You are such a cruel maid. Others wanted to spare your life, but you just ran into them. If that's the case, you can't blame others for this fate."

As soon as the voice fell, the woman in the carriage shouted coldly: "What are you yelling for? You useless thing, you disgraceful thing, why don't you get back here?"

The woman closed her mouth, her eyes full of hatred, and ran to the side of the carriage in dejection.

The woman in the carriage did not let her get on: "You are covered in dust, dirty and smelly, so get out and sit outside."

"Yes." Chuan'er covered his arm and sat outside the carriage. Shang Ruoyi only felt a sharp gaze falling on her. She could easily imagine that it was the woman outside the carriage.

At this moment, a strange fragrance came. Shang Ruoyi frowned, and colorless and odorless medicine powder drifted away with the wind. Everyone who was originally a little dizzy suddenly became clear-headed.

At this time, the carriage had gone far away. Shang Ruoyi narrowed her eyes slightly. The strange fragrance just now contained a strong poison. If you inhale it a few more times, you will be poisoned to death. This woman is so cruel and ruthless. She is definitely not a good person.

"Sir." Ah Cheng stepped forward and bowed, "Thank you very much for coming out to save me."

"It's okay." Shang Ruoyi whispered, "It's getting early, let's hurry up."

At this moment, several passers-by came forward and said to Shang Ruoyi: "Master, who do you want to offend? You have to offend the adopted daughter of the King of the Western Region City."

"That's right! The City King has great power in the Western Regions, and he dotes on this adopted daughter very much. In the Western Regions, she is more noble than the royal prince."

"If you offend her, what good will come of it?"

Shang Ruoyi found it very interesting when she heard this: "She is just an adopted daughter, why is she so noble?"

"My lord, you know something. It is said that the King of the City originally had a daughter, but for some reason, she was lost or dead. The King of the City missed her so much that he became sick. Later, he went out hunting and brought back a girl. It is said that her eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to the girl the King of the City loved the most. Since then, the adopted daughter has been pampered to the sky."

Shang Ruoyi nodded in understanding. So that's it.

"That woman is Princess Cheng?"

"Yes, yes." A man from the Western Regions said with a smile, "The King of the City has never married."

Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect that the King of the City is such a lovesick guy.

"Not only that, it is said that the prince of the current City Prince's Mansion was the son of that woman."

Shang Ruoyi couldn't help but be shocked when she heard the secrets of the royal palace.

She gave birth to a son and got pregnant with a daughter, but in the end she had no status. This woman is really miserable.

After listening to stories about the City Prince's Palace along the way, we finally arrived at the capital of Beiling.

After they parted, Shang Ruoyi came to the back door of Li's house.

As soon as she got off the horse, the servant came up to her and said, "Sister Xiao, you're back."

Shang Ruoyi raised her eyebrows slightly. She had only been here once, but she didn't expect to be remembered by them. Moreover, she was dressed as a man today. She couldn't help but look at the gatekeeper a few more times: "What's your name?"

"To answer Sister Xiao, I am Li Yin from Xiao." Xiao smiled and said, "Sister Xiao, my hometown Xiao has been waiting for a long time."

As she said, the old man has been preparing for it ever since he got the news that she was coming to Beiling.

Seeing her come in, the old man stood up excitedly: "Child."

Shang Ruoyi leaned forward slightly: "Grandfather."

Hearing those three words, the old man's eyes lit up, and his eyes were full of joy: "Child, good child!" He couldn't help but burst into tears. He didn't expect that he could hear these three words at such an old age.

Shang Ruoyi's heart was moved slightly. She had never enjoyed family affection in two lifetimes, and for a moment she was at a loss.

"Don't get excited." Shang Ruoyi's voice was slightly hoarse: "It's better to have a heart disease, as your emotions are prone to ups and downs."

"Yes, yes, grandpa remembers everything you said." She wiped away her tears, but the tears were out of control and rolled down again as soon as she wiped them away.

Just then, Li Xia Xia walked in, saw Shang Ruoyi, and said with a smile: "Sister Shang!"

"Xia Xia."

"Sister Shang, I didn't expect that our fate is so deep. We are a family!" She took Shang Ruoyi's arm and said, "In this way, I have really found a backer."

Just then, a servant came in and said, "My dear, the owner of the auction house is here."

"Please come in."

Shang Ruoyi thought that the owner of this kind of auction house must be an old man about the same age as her grandfather, but she didn't expect it to be a woman with a charming figure and extremely beautiful looks.

"Master Li, I am here to greet you." She leaned forward slightly, her eyes falling on Shang Ruoyi: "From the looks of it, this young master seems to be from Beiling." The people of Beiling are rough in character and look more heroic than the people of Tianshun.

"The shopkeeper has a good eye." Shang Rui said, "I have something to discuss with the head of the Li family."

The old man heard this and knew that she wanted to expose her identity at this time, so he smiled and said, "That's right, there are so many rising stars nowadays, I have to obey the old man!"

"What are you talking about, old man? You are in such good health, you will definitely live a long life. Our auction house is still looking forward to cooperating with you more."

"Haha, then I appreciate the good words from Shopkeeper Xiao."

Shopkeeper Xiao looked at Shang Ruoyi, then at the old man, and seeing that he had no intention of asking her to avoid him, he said, "Old man, today I am here to get the Eastern Pearl. In two hours, the auction will begin. The major chambers of commerce have heard about the purple Eastern Pearls you have, and have already prepared the silver. They are all rubbing their hands, waiting for the auction to begin!" Shopkeeper Xiao smiled and said, "After today's auction, I'm afraid the Li family's name will be known throughout the four countries."

After Shopkeeper Xiao left, the old man thought of something important: "Child, tell your grandfather, which clam did this purple pearl really come from?"

Shang Ruoyi nodded: "That's right."

Li Xia Xia frowned when she heard this: "But we opened a lot of black clam shells, but there were no pearls inside or they were already black and smelly. As for the purple pearls, there was not even a shadow of them."

Hearing her say this, Shang Ruoyi's heart moved. Could it be because of the spiritual spring water?

When I was selecting pearl clams that day, the water in the pond was indeed a bit muddy. Manager Lin said that it was that muddy from the beginning, and it remained the same even after changing the water several times.

The only change is the addition of spiritual spring water.
