Looking at the corpses rolling down, my heart ached for a moment.
But compared to keeping myself alive, my father's death is worth it.
"Dad, don't blame your son. If you want to blame someone, blame Shang Ruoyi and He Jingheng. It was you who killed you, especially Shang Ruoyi. Your son will definitely help you get revenge. Sooner or later, I will make you pay for your blood debt with blood."
The cliff was more than thirty meters high. He Ning'an was thrown down from it and fell into the mud in a prone position. His body was constantly washed by the rain, but his eyes were still wide open.
He Jinghe was frightened by what he saw and ran home as fast as he could.
When he got home, he lit a candle and saw the dried blood on the ground. He was so scared that he almost screamed.
He went outside to the tub, fetched a large bucket of water, and scrubbed the floor clean.
After doing all this, it was already dawn. Shivering, he huddled in a corner, his eyes constantly glancing at the place where He Ning'an had lain.
It was not until the sunlight shone in that he dared to move his already stiff body.
Just then, there was a "bang" in the yard, which scared me.
After hiding in the room for a long time, he dared to stick his head out. It turned out to be a piece of head.
When 놛 walked forward and picked up 녪's head, a piece of paper fell down.
놛 picked it up doubtfully, and when 놛 saw the row of small words on it, his pupils suddenly contracted.
"I know everything you do."
These few words made 놛's whole body tremble uncontrollably.
who?
Who is it?
He rushed out of the yard and saw the empty streets outside. A great panic enveloped him.
Shang Ruoyi came to the greenhouse early in the morning. She planned to pick some strawberries and send them to the city to see if they could be sold.
Yingxue and Shaoyao followed her, and Xunmei was responsible for guarding the yard.
The driver was someone He Jingheng found specifically for her, a man named Ah Cheng.
He looked rather thin, not as strong and muscular as the guards.
However, his footsteps were extremely light, and at first glance he was obviously a person practicing internal energy.
Shang Ruoyi and the others arrived at the county town, which was as lively as ever, but the weather was getting colder and there were fewer people selling vegetables and fruits on the streets.
The carriage stopped in front of a restaurant called Tianxiangju. She had heard before that this was the largest restaurant in the county, the prices of the dishes were more than twice that of other restaurants, and the people who came here to dine were either rich or noble.
The owner of Tianxiangju is a woman named Qian Niang. She used to open this restaurant together with her husband. Ten years ago, her husband passed away due to illness, and she started to run the business on her own.
At first, Tianxiangju was just one of the many restaurants in the county and had no reputation. Now it has become the best restaurant here. Shang Ruoyi feels that Qian Niang must not be a simple person.
Shaoyao and Yingxue each carried a basket of strawberries and followed Shang Ruoyi in.
She sat in the lobby on the first floor, ordered a few signature dishes, then patiently drank tea and waited for business to come.
You know, strawberry is a fruit that has never appeared in Tianshun.
Soon, the aroma of strawberries spread throughout the hall, and everyone who came to dine cast their eyes on our table, or to be more precise, on the strawberries.
At this time, a man came over with a proper smile on his face. He bowed politely and asked with a smile: "Excuse me, young lady, I would like to ask, what is in your basket?"
"Strawberry." Shang Ruoyi saw that 놛놅 was puzzled, and explained with a smile: "This is a kind of fruit."
When the guests in the lobby on the first floor heard that they could eat, they were all very excited.
They gathered around to find out what was going on.
The sound on the first floor quickly attracted the attention of the diners upstairs, and at this time the aroma of strawberries drifted over.
"What's that smell?" a man in blue asked in a low voice.
"Sir, there is a girl on the first floor carrying two baskets of fruit. It is the fragrance of the fruit." said the attendant guard.
"It's so special." He put down his chopsticks, walked to the railing and looked down. He had never seen such bright red fruit before.
At this moment, someone on the first floor had already made an offer to buy the strawberry.
"Girl, I'll give you ten taels. Please sell me these strawberries!"
"I'll give you ten taels!"
"I'll give you twenty taels!"
Suddenly, the restaurant turned into an auction site, with diners competing to bid for two baskets of fruit.
"Interesting." The man in blue turned to the guard beside him and said, "Let Qian Niang take the girl to the private room. She knows how to do the rest."
"yes."
The price downstairs has been raised to forty taels. Shang Ruoyi can't help but be shocked. Although this is a town, it is located on the border. How can there be so many rich people?
"Girl, what's the price you want for this fruit? Just tell me the truth!" A fat, big-eared man in silk clothes said impatiently, "I'm sweating all over."
Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "Of course I'm selling these strawberries. As for the price..." Before she finished speaking, she heard a woman's voice coming over, "Hey, my little ancestor, why didn't you tell me when you came?"
I saw a charming woman in red clothes walking over, followed by four followers.
Shang Ruoyi was a little confused. She didn't seem to know this beautiful woman.
"I am truly sorry, my dear guests. This young lady is my Qian Niang's distinguished guest today."
It turns out that she is Qian Niang.
When everyone saw that Qian Niang was going to take Shang Ruoyi away, they all looked unhappy. No one was a fool. If she took Shang Ruoyi away, they would not be able to buy those fruits.
"We are sorry for disturbing your meal. It's our restaurant's fault. So, I will serve a plate of our Tianxiangju signature dish to each table as my mother Qian's apology to everyone."
Only after hearing her say this did they give up.
Shang Ruoyi looked at Qian Niang and nodded secretly in her heart. She was worthy of being the shopkeeper of Tianxiangju. She did everything perfectly.
"Please, sister."
Following Qian Niang all the way to the room on the second floor, she smiled and poured a cup of tea for Shang Ruoyi, her eyes drifting towards the basket on the table.
"What's this lady's name?"
Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "Wasn't the shopkeeper very familiar with me just now? How come you don't even know my name?"
Qian Niang smiled, without any embarrassment on her face: "This is just a temporary solution."
"Shang Ruoyi."
"Miss Ruoyi." Qian Niang sat next to her, her fingers slightly curled up, and the smile on her face did not change: "The surname Shang is not common, I wonder which Shang it is?"
Seeing that she was so interested in this name, Shang Ruoyi had a vague premonition in her heart that maybe Shangnian's scumbag father owed someone some debt outside.
"The surname Shang is indeed rare. Sister Qian Niang should know the prime minister Shangnian! He has that surname."
Shang Ruoyi stared at Qian Niang closely and when she saw her expression stiffen for a moment, she knew that she had guessed right.
"What is the relationship between that girl and Lord Shang?"
