The man seemed to see the struggle in Shu Jiaying's eyes, and he spoke out the pain in Shu Jiaying's heart in one sentence.
"Actually... you're just the daughter of a poor family. Without any background, the only way I can live safely is to tolerate you. This is reality!"
Shu Jiaying took a deep breath and exhaled, and finally she looked at the man seriously.
"Tell me, what is your background?"
Kang Ningxia immediately replied proudly, "Miss, this is our Luosuo Kingdom's Prince Chen—Yu Chenfeng, and I am his sworn brother—Kang Ningxia.
Girl... my elder brother's background is definitely strong enough, so you have to trust him, he will definitely protect you.
By the way, young lady, I haven’t asked for your name yet?”
"My name is Shu Jiaying!"
From beginning to end, Shu Jiaying had heard others say that Prince Chen would protect her, but the prince in front of her, named Yu Chenfeng, had never said so, so what she needed was confirmation.
Shu Jiaying bowed to Yu Chenfeng and asked seriously, "Prince Chen, if I go with you to the Zhao family, can you really protect me and prevent the Zhao family from harming me in the slightest?"
Yu Chenfeng didn't expect the woman in front of him to be so cautious. After a pause, he assured her, "I guarantee with my integrity that the Zhao family will never be able to touch you in the slightest."
"Well, I promise Your Majesty that I will follow you to the Zhao family."
Turning around, Shu Jiaying asked Yao Zhihai, "Doctor Yao, do you have acupuncture needles for sale in your clinic?"
"Well... I'm not really sure. Miss Shu, what do you want the silver needles for? I have a set here that I can lend you for a while."
Shu Jiaying laughed.
"Doctor Yao, the silver needles are your livelihood, how can you just lend them to others? I figured since I'm going with you to rescue people, I need to have a set of tools on hand, and I'll need the silver needles later, so I might as well buy them all at once."
"Then I'll ask Shopkeeper Jia to come over. He's more familiar with the things going on over the counter."
"Thank you!"
Not long after, Yao Zhihai invited Manager Jia, who was helping to arrange patients in the inner hall, to come over.
Shopkeeper Jia is a fat middle-aged man with a smiling face that makes people feel comfortable anytime and anywhere.
Seeing Yu Chenfeng, Manager Jia bowed and walked in front of Shu Jiaying.
"Miss, Doctor Yao said you wanted to buy a set of silver needles?"
"Yes, I wonder if the shopkeeper has any good recommendations?"
Shopkeeper Jia looked Shu Jiaying up and down, then he said, "Yes, please wait a moment, young lady!"
Three pairs of silver needles were taken out from the counter, but Manager Jia opened the one with the oldest packaging in his hand.
"Girl, what do you think of this set?"
Taking the silver needles, Shu Jiaying looked at each one carefully, then shook her head.
"This set of silver needles appears to be only an inch long and the needle body is slightly soft, which requires a relatively high level of finger strength from the acupuncturist.
And it looks like this needle set has been on the counter for a long time. Boss, could this be a discarded model from your store?"
Shopkeeper Jia didn't dare to hide anything, so he told the truth: "Indeed, but this set of silver needles is quite affordable. If the young lady can control her finger strength well, this set of silver needles can actually be quite useful."
Shu Jiaying's words clearly indicated her inner rejection. She pointed to two other silver needles and asked, "Can I see these two sets?"
