Zhao Gang didn't expect Shang Ruoyi to be so strong, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a moment.
He thought he could use his official status to suppress them, but he never expected that he would be scolded by her in the end. The most important thing was that she was always right and he could not refute it at all.
But today is my first day in office. If I lose face here, how can I convince others when I am exiled?
Just as he was thinking about how to answer, he heard Shang Ruoyi continue, "I wonder why the Lord asked my sister to come forward?"
Zhao Gang's gaze fell on He Yunyi's little face, and a hint of obscenity flashed across his eyes. Although it was not easy to detect, Shang Ruoyi still saw it clearly.
"That's my business, what does it have to do with you?" Zhao Gang said angrily, "How dare you, a convicted woman, dream of lying to me?"
"My lord, please stop flattering yourself. No one wants to bully you. As long as you don't provoke us, we will be friendly to you. If my lord doesn't want to live a peaceful life, then there will be unrest waiting for you." This was the first time that Shang Ruoyi was so strong in front of everyone, and she was so strong in front of the officials.
Hearing this, everyone was terrified, fearing that it would anger the officials and bring harm to them.
If it were in the past, Shang Ruoyi would have to think twice before saying these words. As the saying goes, the people should not fight with the officials. If they angered the officials, it would definitely affect them. It would be fine for her alone, at most she could hide in the space, but she had to take the He family's entire family and the workers who worked for the He family into consideration.
But now, the space has unlocked cold weapons. With these guns, ammunition, bombs and grenades, let alone attacking the city, at least there will be no problem in retreating to one side.
Tolerance has never been her character. She had been patient before only for the sake of the overall situation. Now that she is confident enough, she will certainly stand tall.
Zhao Gang was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed at Shang Ruoyi and said, "You! You!"
Shang Ruoyi stepped forward, saluted to Lord Zhang, and said solemnly: "May I ask, sir, for us exiled prisoners, do we just need to pay taxes and not leave Qingzhou?"
Zhang Wenyu nodded: "That's indeed the law."
"If you have not done anything wrong, you should not insult or humiliate me at will, right?"
"right."
Shang Ruoyi turned to look at Zhao Gang and sneered, "Master Zhao, this is the law. Do you understand?"
Zhao Gang's face turned livid, his eyes were sharp, he wished he could just drag her out and chop her to pieces.
But he couldn't do it. In front of so many people, he was humiliated by a woman. How could he swallow this? But now is not a good time to continue arguing with her. She is just a woman. As long as the exiles are under my jurisdiction, I will have a chance to discipline them and I can just take my time.
Returning to the palace, the old princess sighed: "Ruoyi, offending the official will not benefit the He family at the moment. Ruoyi, you did not handle today's matter properly. If you were in the Dingwang Palace in the past, let alone this official, even the emperor, hey, let's not talk about the past."
Shang Ruoyi stepped forward and said softly, "Grandma, I understand what you mean, but if I don't say this today, Zhao Gang might still do something and say such dirty words. Yunyi is not young, and she knows a thing or two about many things. What if that Zhao Gang is thinking about her?"
"But the people should not fight against the officials, not to mention that we are exiles." The old lady whispered: "If we really offend the officials, the He family will have a hard time in exile in the future!"
Having a hard time?
How is that possible?
"The people don't fight against the officials because they are not as strong as the government, but our He family has never been afraid of you." Shang Ruoyi raised a smile at the corner of her lips: "The court has been troubled by the snow bandits for so long. They have sent troops many times but failed to wipe them out, but they still can't do anything to us. Grandmother just keeps you in mind and just be at ease."
The day will never come when the fish dies and the net is broken. Even if that day comes, the fish will die but the net will not be broken.
Seeing her like this, the old princess felt much more at ease.
Although Shang Ruoyi had been married into the palace not long ago, one could get a glimpse of her character from a glimpse of the leopard.
If she wasn't absolutely sure, Shang Ruoyi would never say these words in front of her.
"Hearing what you said, I will no longer care about this matter. Grandmother handed the He family over to you, and I believe you can manage it well."
When Shang Ruoyi came out from the old lady's place, she saw a man in a black cloak standing in the yard.
He Jingheng turned around slowly.
Shang Ruoyi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"When will you be back?"
He Jingheng's lips curled slightly: "If I don't come back, where can I see Madam so domineering?"
When Shang Ruoyi heard what 놛 said, her pretty face turned slightly red.
"If you're back so early, why don't you show up?"
"If I go, those grandsons will definitely keep testing me. I'm so annoyed just thinking about it." He Jingheng walked forward and took out a box from his pocket: "Open it and take a look."
"What?" Shang Ruoyi took it and was about to leave when she saw Aunt Li, who was serving the old lady, coming over and saying with a smile, "The old lady said that you two should go back to your own courtyard and have some fun."
Shang Ruoyi blushed when she heard that, glared at him, tightened her clothes, and walked quickly towards her courtyard.
He Jingheng smiled and walked slowly behind her.
Yunqi and Yuntian gathered together, looking at the master's back, and couldn't help but sigh: "You don't know, this time when I went out with the master, I didn't see the master smile."
Yuntian walked on thin ice every day, fearing that he would do something wrong and be thrown out by his master. Whenever this happened, he envied Yunqi very much. Following the world's concubine must be much more comfortable than following the world's concubine.
"You shouldn't say that." Yunqi responded calmly.
"If not this, how else can I put it?"
"Before you met the Queen, when did you ever see the Lord smile?"
Yuntian was stunned, looking at Yunqi in shock, and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up: "Insightful! It's really insightful!"
Shang Ruoyi returned to the room and opened the brocade box, inside which was a tourmaline bracelet.
The color is extremely beautiful.
"I noticed that you didn't seem to be keen on wearing headwear, so I picked a bracelet for you."
When Shang Ruoyi saw the bracelet, her eyes lit up involuntarily. She had to say that He Jingheng had a really good eye.
Shang Ruoyi did not mention the matter of the snow bandits. After all, even if she didn't say it, someone would definitely tell her.
When He Jingheng came to the study, Yunqi told him everything that had happened in the past few days, no matter how big or small.
"Firearm?" He Jingheng raised his eyebrows: "If I throw it out, it will explode and the flames will shoot up into the sky?"
"That's right. It's many times more powerful than the gunpowder used in previous battles." Yunqi whispered, "And it's safer and more convenient than gunpowder. It's less than the size of a palm, so you can carry it with you, and it won't explode at will."
