"OK."

Shen Yu, who originally thought she was scheming, felt relieved when he heard that she had another request. "As long as you marry well, not to mention these few days, even if you become Qinghua's wife in the future, you can still go find the old beggar."

In fact, the old beggar has superb medical skills and first-class martial arts.

If such a person can be won over, it will be of great benefit to the Prime Minister's Office with no harm at all.

Shen Yu looked at his sister and thought that it would be great if he could get the old beggar to serve the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Second Prince's lineage through her.

Then he added, "Regarding Fang Zi's matter, I will go and apologize to him on behalf of your second brother. When are you going to see him next time? Take me with you. And what does he like? I'll go and prepare something."

"He doesn't have anything he likes. If big brother wants to go, I'll go in the afternoon."

Shen Ruyi sneered in her heart, "It's just that I forgave my second brother, but it doesn't mean that Master has forgiven him too. Big brother should be mentally prepared."

"OK."

Shen Yu nodded, "Then I will prepare some generous gifts according to the way I greet my elders."

Shen Ruyi said nothing and looked down at the medicine jar.

The room fell silent.

Shen Yu rubbed his fingers, thought for a while, and then said: "Besides, Jiaojiao's innocence is gone. She is the victim of today's incident. When the time comes, she will marry you... Of course, you still have the final say after that..."

"That's fine with me."

Shen Ruyi interrupted him, "After all, she suffered this disaster for me today, I should thank her."

Shen Yu nodded repeatedly, "I'm glad you can figure it out."

As he spoke, he reached out his hand and wanted to touch her head, "Ruyi, Daddy and the brothers have always had you in their hearts..."

"I know." Shen Ruyi didn't look up.

He just wanted to say: He abused her like that before because she was ignorant. Those words sounded disgusting, and she didn't want to hear them.

But in the end, Shen Yu didn't dare to touch her head.

The hairpin was a trophy that the late emperor won from the mines in Western Qin when he was on the battlefield. It was the only piece of fire jade in the world. Although it was later wrapped in gold to prevent damage, it was still not something that anyone could touch.

In particular, Yinghe and Concubine Guifei's father died in that war.

The late emperor had lost his sworn brother, so he gave the hairpin to Yinghe and let Yinghe marry the current emperor. He also issued an imperial decree that even if the sky fell, Yinghe's status as the imperial concubine could not be shaken.

This hairpin has a story.

It also has weight.

The pressure now rests on Shen Ruyi's head, and it is a golden ticket to immunity from death.

So, he couldn't help but say, "Ruyi, your second brother's matter is not only your second brother's matter, but also the matter of our Prime Minister's Mansion. We all prosper together and suffer together."

"Father asked you to go to the emperor to explain. It's not that he doesn't know that you feel wronged, but there is nothing he can do. Because only you can save the Prime Minister's Mansion. We must have someone in the Imperial Hospital, otherwise, we will be at a loss in the harem."

"Ruyi, you have a hairpin given by the late emperor on your head. Even if you go to the emperor to explain, he will not blame you."

Shen Ruyi looked up at him.

He is so shameless.

When Shen Cangyun forced her to take the blame for Shen Ci, the hairpin hadn't even been on her head. If it weren't for this hairpin, she would have been locked up in the cellar, and now she doesn't know whether she is dead or alive.

Now, he actually has the nerve to mention this?

Shen Ruyi held the fire tongs, wishing she could hit him on the forehead with them.

Finally, "Let's put the matter of Second Brother aside for now. After all, he drugged me today and tried to trick me. Although he didn't succeed, I'm not a clay man and I don't have a temper at all."

"I'm still angry."

After saying that, she lowered her head and ignored him.

Shen Yu nodded, "I can understand you, let's wait for a while until you calm down."

This makes her seem more real.

Shen Yu stood up and tried one last time, "Father will ask an embroiderer to come and take your measurements tonight. It's time to prepare your dowry."

"OK."

Shen Ruyi didn't refuse, she needed time.

It takes the right time, place and people to sever ties with the huge Prime Minister's Office and Shangshu Mansion without causing any serious damage.

But, it won’t take a few days.

Shen Yu didn't know what she was thinking. "Then I'll go prepare some gifts for the old beggar, and I'll go with you to his place in the afternoon. You've been busy all morning, so you should have a good rest."

"Take care, bro."

Shen Ruyi looked up and glanced at him.

Shen Yu felt relieved and turned to find Shen Cangyun.

Fang Fei closed the door and said in surprise: "Girl, are you really going to marry Gu Qinghua? This is not okay. Why don't we make a big deal out of it and just break off the engagement with him!"

"No."

Shen Ruyi looked at her and reassured her, "When the time is right, I will cancel the engagement. But not now."

"That's good, that's good, I was scared to death." Fang Fei patted her chest with her hands, "These people are all man-eating wolves, the farther away the better."

"You're right, but don't tell anyone for now, be careful not to alert the enemy." Shen Ruyi nodded, "Go get something to eat, we have to go out in the afternoon."

"I will go right away."

Fangfei went to the small kitchen happily.

Shen Ruyi drank the medicine and reviewed the acupuncture point map given by the old beggar.

After a few days, she had memorized all the major acupoints in the body. The next step was some minor details that she needed to listen to personally.

Shen Yu returned to Shen Cangyun's study and brushed off the snow on his body. "Father, Ruyi is really fine now. At least she doesn't object to getting married, and she also agrees that Jiaojiao will marry with her."

As he spoke, he glanced at Shen Ci and said, "It's about my second brother. It will probably take some time. She's still angry about what happened in Zuixinlou today, but I see that she's very calm now. I think she can be persuaded after a while."

Shen Cangyun nodded, feeling completely relieved.

"That's good, that's good. I'll go check on Jiaojiao later. Her maid just came over and said she has a stomachache again."

Then he looked at Gu Qinghua and said, "What happened in Zuixinlou today was also an accident. Jiaojiao is not in good health. You must take good care of her after you go there and make sure nothing happens to her."

Gu Qinghua nodded, "I will, don't worry, uncle."

Only Shen Ci was in a depressed mood.

Shen Cangyun looked at him, "I didn't expect to run into Fang Yizhou today. How about this, you take a rest for a while and wait until the storm has passed."

Shen Ci nodded, his expression still grim.

Taking away his sister's prescription but not helping her with the medicine, and giving her an aphrodisiac, these two things would be enough to make people laugh at him for the rest of his life if they were made public.

He wishes he could die now.

Finally, he even said, "Father, before Shen Ruyi is willing to go to the emperor for me, can I go to Pinghu first?"

Shen Cangyun nodded, "Pinghu is also a good place, it's a good time to ask Lao Si to come back and persuade Ruyi."

"The fourth child is young, maybe he can be persuaded."
