"What's your plan?" Liu's eyes were full of calculation: "That man, I only saw him once, he really has an extraordinary demeanor, but for a man like this, do you have the confidence to make him fall in love with you?"
"Mom, which man is cheating?" She looked at Zhao Wenwen, only to hear him cough and turn away.
Liu glanced at him and said, "Why are you coughing? Do you think your daughter knows what you did? Among the women you keep outside now, who is willing to be exiled with you? In the end, only my daughter and I will suffer with you?"
"We have to bring up the past again." Zhao Xiaowen said somewhat embarrassedly: "What nonsense are you saying in front of your daughter?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? You know..."
After she finished speaking, Zhao Xinyin said coldly: "Mom, you and Dad are going to quarrel, the most important thing now is how to stay here." She looked outside vigilantly: "Didn't you hear what that woman said? When we recover from our injuries, we will ask the officials to find another place for us. We must find a chance to let that man marry me before we leave. In this way, we will be a family. If I stay here, you can naturally stay too."
What she despised most were her biological parents, who quarreled over trivial matters every day and did nothing at their old age.
She knew very well that if she wanted to change her fate, she could only rely on herself.
Shang Ruoyi returned to the room. Shaoyao thought for a moment and told her the questions Zhao Xiyin had asked her today.
"Miss, I see that the Zhao family girl is not a very easy person to deal with."
Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "Of course she has high aspirations." She has been living in the county magistrate's office for many years, doing nothing but mediocrity. What good things can she get? The children raised by this couple must be very good.
"Miss, this is the news you wanted." Ah 늅 said softly outside the door.
Shaoyao opened the door and took the letter from Ah Dong's hand. Her fingertips easily touched Ah Dong's hand. Her face felt slightly hot. She quickly turned around and closed the door.
Shang Ruoyi saw her abnormal behavior and understood, but she didn't expose her. She just smiled and said jokingly: "Why? I see that the weather is still cold, why do you feel amorous?"
Shaoyao's face turned even redder when she heard this: "Miss!"
After handing the letter to Shang Ruoyi, she turned around and left with a red face, picked up the sewing basket on the table and started doing needlework.
Shang Ruoyi didn't want to let her go, and continued, "Why, have you already started sewing your wedding dress?"
"Miss, if you continue to be like this, I will obey you and find a nunnery to become a nun."
Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "Are you serious? Can you give up your ideal husband?"
"Miss, I only want to follow you for the rest of my life. You saved my life, and I am willing to serve you for the rest of my life. As long as I can be by your side, I am willing to marry you for the rest of my life."
"You are talking nonsense. How can you get married?" Shang Ruoyi looked at her and said, "Wait for me to test your opinion. If you are in love with me, I will wait until the weather warms up and find a good day to arrange your marriage."
She opened the letter in her hand and read it quickly, her eyes becoming increasingly cold.
It was just as she thought.
"Men in this world are really the same. They are not satisfied with what is in the bowl, but they also stare at what is in the pot. It is not enough to marry a virtuous woman, but they also want to marry a few enchanting and charming women, but they are not afraid of their own body suffering from it." She slammed the heart in her hand on the table. She sent people to investigate the Beiling Li family. The young master of the Li family lost money in gambling and withdrew 30,000 taels of cash from the Li family's public account. He still owed 20,000 taels to others. Now the real power in the Li family is the old man of the Li family. Even if the head of the Li family wanted to fill the hole for him, he would not take out so much money, so he set his sights on the betrothal gift for the legitimate daughter.
He now wanted to marry off his legitimate daughter as soon as possible and use her betrothal gift to pay off the gambling debts of this illegitimate son.
The man who was engaged to Li Xia Xia had already married four or five concubines, one of whom had given birth to a daughter. When Li Xia Xia married him, she would become his stepmother.
She was so young, but she had to do it for her mother. It really frightened me.
The reason why Patriarch Li wanted to sacrifice his daughter to save this ambitious bastard was because he was born to Patriarch Li's favorite concubine.
She was filled with righteous indignation in the room, not realizing that everything she had just said had been heard by He Jingheng who was standing at the door.
Yunqi at the door looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, and pretended to be deaf and dumb behind him.
He Jingheng raised his eyebrows slightly, pushed the door and walked in.
"Why are you so angry, madam?" He Jingheng smiled and said, "What can your husband do well?"
Shang Ruoyi was furious when she saw his face that brought disaster to the country and the people.
"Are you in the study? What are you doing here?"
"As your husband, I know why you are sulking." Yunqi pushed him into the room and walked out. Seeing this, Shaoyao quickly put down her needlework and followed Yunqi out.
Shang Ruoyi glared at him without saying a word.
He Jingheng stood up from the wheelchair, walked to her, looked at the letter on the table, and knew the trick.
"Why do you make yourself so angry about something outside?" He smiled and said, "As a doctor, you should know that anger can harm your body."
"Similarly, why can men have three wives and four concubines, but women must be faithful to one man?" As Shang Ruoyi finished speaking, He Jingheng's face visibly darkened.
"What did you say?" He leaned his hands on the desk, trapping Shang Ruoyi between his body and the desk. The strong masculine scent filled her nose, and Shang Ruoyi's face suddenly felt like it was burning.
In the previous life, they had been closer to each other in order to complete the mission, but that time, they could hug each other and remain calm, but at this moment, just being close to each other made her blush and her heart beat fast.
He Jingheng saw that she was at ease, but he didn't intend to let her go.
"Why, what do you mean?" He whispered, "Were you happy with what you said just now?"
"I mean, why can a man have three wives and four concubines?"
"What about the back there?"
"Behind? What behind?" She coughed a few times and felt a little stuffy, so she pushed him: "Move aside, it's hot."
As soon as her hand was placed on He Jingheng's chest, another hand covered the back of her hand.
"Do you feel it?"
"W-what?" Shang Ruoyi stammered.
"My heart, it beats for you right now."
Feeling the heart beating violently beneath her palm, Shang Ruoyi's fingertips curled up slightly.
He Jingheng lowered his head slowly, Shang Ruoyi looked at his handsome face which was gradually becoming more beautiful before her eyes, and slowly closed her eyes.
