Shang Ruoyi came to an extremely remote courtyard with only one candle burning in the room.
A woman wearing clothes with many patches on her body was crying in front of the girl lying on the earthen kang.
Hearing a noise outside the house, I quickly got up to check.
"Mother! Come quickly! Come quickly! My boss is here to see our daughter!"
When the woman heard this, her tears stopped instantly and she said in disbelief, "Really?"
Wen Xi walked in, put the medicine box aside, and looked at the delicate figure lying on the cold earthen kang. Shang Ruoyi's heart ached, and she vaguely remembered that in her previous life, she came to an extremely poor village during a mission, where many children died one after another due to lack of food and inadequate medical care.
But she was just passing through briefly and could not really solve the problem of the village. A year later, when she finished her mission and returned to the village, there were no living people there. There were even skeletons scattered around the village that had been weathered due to lack of collection. Some of the skeletons were obviously those of babies.
That scene hurt her deeply.
Now looking at the child lying there, she walked forward and vowed to cure her.
He Jingheng looked at Shang Ruoyi with some confusion. Ever since she walked into the room, her temperament had changed drastically.
He also knew what caused this change.
After Shang Ruoyi checked her pulse, she heaved a sigh of relief. It was not yet too late to save her.
It was indeed a cold at first, but it gradually turned into pneumonia. Now the lung inflammation is very serious. If I continue to receive treatment, it will be really dangerous.
The girl's face was red beyond her normal range, her body was shaking from time to time, and her hands and feet were cold, which were the precursors of a febrile convulsion.
Shang Ruoyi hurriedly took out the pill and put it into her mouth.
Pills again. How many of these things does she have?
After a while, the girl's body temperature dropped.
Wen Xi poured out a few pills and handed them to Wang Xiaozhu: "Take one pill a day, and you will be cured in five days."
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaozhu and his wife carefully held the pill in their hands and said excitedly, "Really? Can my daughter really be cured?"
Shang Ruoyi nodded: "Yes."
"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!" Wang Yuzhu kowtowed repeatedly on the ground: "I, Wang Yuzhu, am willing to work for you for the rest of my life."
Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "When your daughter gets better, if you are still willing, come and find me."
On the way back, He Jingheng couldn't help but be curious: "Did you make that pill?"
Shang Ruoyi nodded: "Why, do you believe it?"
"I believe it, but I think it's incredible. Even the imperial doctors in the palace can make pills. Where did you learn it from?"
"I did tell you that when my mother was alive, she gave me a book with a lot of strange things written on it."
He Jingheng smiled and said, "Even pharmacology?"
"Of course." Shang Ruoyi said with a red face and a beating heart, "I brought it here specially on the day of my wedding. I guess it has been collected into the national treasury now."
He Jingheng just smiled and said nothing, and Shang Ruoyi didn't want to dwell on this matter too much.
When the two returned to the yard, it was already dark and everyone had gone to bed.
Only their room was still lit with candles.
Shang Ruoyi frowned, pushed the door open, and found Qiao Yanxin making the bed in their room.
"What are you doing?"
When Qiao Yanxin saw them coming back, she said with a bright smile on her face, "I'll tidy up your room and make the beds."
She pulled out a hot water bottle from under the quilt: "It's getting cold, let me warm your bed."
Shang Ruoyi nodded: "I understand. From now on, if you do something like this, you must enter my room without my permission."
Qiao Yanxin looked at He Jingheng, then quickly lowered her head and nodded somewhat aggrievedly: "Yes, I understand."
Just as she was about to leave, Shang Ruoyi stopped her, "Also, you have to think carefully, are you really going to go back to your room? You are acting like the master here."
Qiao Yanxin nodded: "I won't go back, they are really bullying me."
Looking at her leaving back, Shang Ruoyi frowned, but He Jingheng didn't respond much, but just carried the bedding she had prepared to the side.
At night, a few birds suddenly chirped outside. He Jingheng suddenly opened his eyes, saw Shang Ruoyi sleeping soundly, and walked out quietly.
"master."
"How about it?"
Yunqi said in a deep voice: "We still haven't found any trace of the prince."
"Got it." He Jingheng's face was heavy: "Check the mother's family of the Qiao family."
"yes."
In the next few days, the construction of the house proceeded in an orderly manner.
Since there was meat for every meal, everyone was very motivated and the work that would normally take more than ten days was now completed in just a few days.
That day, Zhang came back from the town with a heavy heart, holding a paper bag in her hand.
When He Ning'an saw her coming back, he said in a deep voice, "Where have you been? You haven't been seen since early in the morning. Jinghe and I are still hungry."
"That's right! Mom, I'm almost starving to death."
Zhang immediately hid the paper bag around her waist, boiled water in a pot, and started to cook porridge.
"I'm so tired of drinking porridge every day. I feel sick just looking at the porridge now." He Jinghe complained, "Mom, when can we eat meat?"
"Eat meat?" Zhang said coldly, "I heard that your grandmother and her family eat meat every day. Not only do they eat meat, but those who work for them also eat meat."
He Ning'an frowned, "Humph, in my opinion, my mother is just getting old and confused. How could she let Shang Ruoyi, the concubine, be the housekeeper? And let her take care of such a big thing?"
"That's right." He Jingheng echoed, "How much money does it cost to build a house? This woman must have embezzled a lot of money." He pounded his legs, his face full of regret: "Just think about it, I swallowed this breath, and I was actually stepped on by this woman."
Zhang sneered: "Don't worry, mother has her own way to deal with her." Zhang touched the paper bag around her waist, thinking of what that man had told her, as long as they finished these things, they could leave here with the silver.
On this day, Shang Ruoyi calculated the money. Although there was a lot of money in the space, she couldn't just sit there and eat it all.
In the future, after she divorced He Jingheng, she would find a way to return the things in the Dingwang Palace to them. She could only start from scratch with the dowry she had taken away.
Now the food and drink of so many mouths in the He family depends on her. It seems that it is time to start thinking of ways to make money.
She recalled the shocked look on He Jingheng's face when he saw her taking out the pills, and an idea instantly came to her mind.
Early the next morning, she wanted to go out to the town, but He Jingheng walked up to her with a smile on his face: "Let's go and have a look!"
"What are you looking at?"
"You want me to make some defensive mechanisms?"
Shang Ruoyi's eyes lit up: "It's done? So quickly?"
