I just want to live a happy life

Chapter 312 Fu Cha Lang Ya 28

"No."

Ruyi was unwilling to give in and said, "Since you have nothing to eat, you should have some silver, so give me some."

Hailan looked at Ruyi coldly: "You are so shameless. There is nothing between us. How dare you ask me for something?"

Now she has been sent to the cold palace, and Hailan also knows that she is not a good person. What is there for Ruyi to pretend in front of Hailan?

So, Ruyi raised her chin and looked down at Hailan: "If it weren't for me, would you be able to be the master? And you lived in Yanxi Palace before, and I was the head of the first palace. You got all your things because of me. Now I don't want to give them to you, so you should be sensible and return them to me."

Hai Lan was so angry that she laughed. She didn't want to say anything to Ruyi anymore. No matter what she said, Ruyi wouldn't understand.

So Hai Lan picked up a bamboo stick next to her, which she found in the cold palace. It was just right to use it to beat Ruyi.

Hai Lan did not give Ruyi a chance to escape. She picked up a bamboo pole and hit Ruyi with it. Hai Lan used all her strength. Ruyi was beaten so hard that she ran away with her head in her hands. Hai Lan stopped only when Ruyi was forced to curl up in a corner.

Afterwards, Hai Lan returned to the table and continued to eat snacks, while Ruyi, who had been beaten, did not dare to speak.

Only after watching Hai Lan rest did Ruyi dare to stand up. She was afraid of being beaten again, so she walked very carefully.

Ruyi calmed down temporarily. She also realized that Hailan's solution would not work, so she could only seek help from others.

Of course, this person is Ling Yunche.

Ling Yunche looked at the scars on Ruyi's face and the way she shrank because of the beatings on her body, which made Ling Yunche dislike her even more.

If he remembered correctly, she was originally Concubine Xian, and was born in the upper three banners. How come he couldn't tell at all that she was a lady from an aristocratic family?

Her every move was like that of a terminally ill old person.

Ruyi didn't know what Ling Yunche was thinking. She smiled at him. Her family background, the fact that she had been admired since childhood, and the glory of being Concubine Xian in the past made her very confident. As long as she made a request, this inexperienced guard in the cold palace would definitely help her.

But she was disappointed. Ling Yunche would not have any mercy on a disfigured person.

In the original plot, Ruyi had no scars on her face and she dressed neatly every day. Hongli also told Ling Yunche to take good care of Ruyi.

That's it. Ling Yunche asked Hai Lan for money when she visited Ruyi, and she also asked for half of the money when she agreed with Ling Yunche to buy a handkerchief in exchange for the money.

This time, Ruyi was even more miserable. Although Ling Yunche agreed to the deal, he wanted a larger share of the silver, and the supper handkerchief and needlework he provided also cost money.

It won’t be given to Ruyi for free.

Hearing such a request, the smile on Ruyi's face froze, looking extremely funny and ridiculous.

Ruyi really thinks that she is very important and everyone should give in to her.

"That's too much. You only make one trip and you're charging so much. It's not fair."

Ling Yunche didn't want to give up this opportunity to make money. His normal monthly salary was not enough for him to buy alcohol.

Then Ling Yunche deceived Ruyi, saying that he was also under pressure and it was very risky, and if he was caught, he would most likely be punished.

After hearing what he said, Ruyi's anger subsided a little. She thought about it carefully and felt that what he said made sense.

Moreover, Ruyi was very confident that Ling Yunche would not dare to lie to her, so she agreed to Ling Yunche's conditions without much thought.

So Ruyi started to embroider every day. She really cared about her appearance and did not take off her armor when embroidering.

Hai Lan also had an idea after watching Ruyi's actions. Although she had money now, she couldn't just sit there and live off it.

Hailan used to be an embroiderer, and she also sold embroidery products, so she also planned to make money from embroidery.

She had originally looked for Ling Yunche, but as soon as she heard Ling Yunche's conditions, she decisively gave up. Did anyone really think she was stupid? She had no experience.

So she found another person, Zhao Jiuxiao. The conditions Zhao Jiuxiao offered were fair, so Hai Lan agreed to trade with him.

Ruyi's embroidery skills were not very good, and because she was wearing armor, she embroidered not only slowly but also poorly.

So it couldn't be exchanged for much silver, and most of the silver would be taken away by Ling Yunche, leaving even less for Ruyi.

When she entered the cold palace, she only took a few sets of clothes, and those were very thin. Now that winter is almost here, she needs a lot of things.

She didn't want to be cold, so she needed a thick quilt and thick clothes. She also needed embroidery, so candles were indispensable. She also needed bowls and chopsticks for eating, a small stove for boiling water, charcoal, and so on.

But the money she had was only enough to buy some delicious food, and she couldn't buy anything else.

And if she doesn't buy it now, she will have to suffer the cold in winter.

There was no choice but to take a shortcut.

In the following days, Ruyi kept looking for an opportunity. Her long wait was worth it, as there was finally an opportunity when Hai Lan was not in the room.

One day, Hailan took a basin to the well outside to wash clothes. Ruyi took a look through the window and walked to Hailan's bed.

She looked outside from time to time, afraid that Hailan would come back suddenly.

Her hands rummaged through Hai Lan's bed, but apart from a few sets of clothes, there was no trace of silver or anything.

How could there not be any? Where could she put it?

Ruyi was searching bit by bit, and at this moment, a voice came from the door: "What are you doing?"

Ruyi turned her head in fright and saw Hailan standing at the door.

Hailan walked over, looked at the messy bed that Ruyi had turned over, and asked, "Do you want to steal my money or take my things?"

Ruyi didn't say anything. The embarrassment of being caught made her mind go blank and she couldn't find a reason.

Hai Lan looked at her with the bamboo pole in her hand and sneered, "You really think you've covered it up well. You've been looking at me from time to time these past few days. You can't wait any longer, can you?"

Ruyi raised her head and said angrily, "Did you do this on purpose?"

Hailan nodded: "Yes, I know what you want to do. I didn't expect that you couldn't seize the opportunity even if I gave you one. You are really stupid."

"You clearly knew that we had a grudge, and I was on guard against it, so how could you be so careless as to leave the silver on the bed."

Ruyi was speechless: "You......"

"I've seen enough of you making a fool of yourself. I don't want to be in the same room with you at all. Get out of here."

Without giving Ruyi a chance to speak, Hai Lan took a bamboo stick and beat Ruyi out. She also threw Ruyi's things outside and closed the door.

No matter how hard Ruyi knocked, Hailan did not open the door.
