Upon hearing this, Rong Ruo finally raised his eyelids and glanced at her. Yuan Zhao quickly opened the box and took out the contents.
My sister-in-law comes from a scholarly family and actually has two rare books, but they are not about military campaigns, but rather unofficial histories. To her surprise, when she went to her father's study, which was just for show, she actually found several rare military books, which she took back with her.
In addition, she also found a piece of warm jade in the general's mansion's storeroom, which her father couldn't remember when or where he had obtained.
However, ordinary people who wear this warm jade will not feel cold in winter and can wear only a thin layer of clothing.
This piece of jade was too useful for Rong Ruo, so she took it without hesitation.
Upon seeing these items, Rong Ruo raised an eyebrow. He had to admit that these gifts were quite to his liking, especially the two military books and the piece of warm jade.
He glanced at him out of the corner of his eye and saw Yuan Zhao staring intently at him, his eyes fixed on his face, not wanting to miss a single expression.
He curled his lips slightly upward, revealing a smile that made hearts race.
"You think these things are worth two lives?"
"Two?"
Yuan Zhao looked at Rong Ruo in astonishment. Wasn't it Jin Zhu's?
As if knowing what she was thinking, Rong Ruo gave a soft hum, looking at her with a half-smile, the meaning in his eyes clear.
Does that mean your life isn't life anymore?
Yuan Zhao: "..."
She had long known that this scoundrel was unreasonable, but she never expected him to be so shameless.
If he were willing to let Jinzhu go, he would be fine, but now he has included her in the list, turning it into two lives lost.
This jinx is really...
Seeing her expression change several times, looking angry but unable to speak out, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he changed the subject to other things.
"Did you save someone on the street today?"
Yuan Zhao was not surprised that Rong Ruo knew this, as she knew that her every move was under Rong Ruo's control.
This is not surprising. She knew about Rong Ruo's poisoning. How could someone like him let just one more person know about his affairs? Unless everything was under his control.
"He looked so pitiful, so I just helped him out of the blue."
Hearing this, Rong Ruo glanced at her, slightly curled the corner of his mouth, and said meaningfully:
"You're lucky."
"I just picked up a disciple of a 'poison monster' before, and today I'm able to save Master Wen's last disciple."
"You're really good at picking people up."
"Gu Qingchen, Master Wen's last disciple?"
Yuan Zhao's eyes widened; she genuinely didn't know this.
But if he was Master Wen's last disciple, how could he have fallen to such a state?
At the same time, she was also alarmed by Rong Ruo's methods.
He had already investigated Gu Qingchen's background thoroughly before this even happened; this person was truly terrifying.
Will she really be able to get rid of him in the future?
Yuan Zhao was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't even notice when Rong Ruo's expression changed.
By the time she realized what was happening, her face had already been forced up, and Rong Ruo casually used the rare book in his hand to lift her head.
"What are you thinking about?"
Before Yuan Zhao could speak, he continued:
"I'm thinking, how can I get rid of someone as terrifying as me?"
Yuan Zhao was startled. Was this person a worm in her stomach? How could he know what she was thinking?
"Put away those little thoughts."
Rong Ruo had a smile on his lips, but there was no smile in his eyes.
Unless he doesn't want it anymore, who would dare touch his things?
