Chapter 244 Life experience
At this moment, a figure appeared in front of Shang Ruoyi. Ah Cheng grabbed the hand of the head of the Li family and bent it backwards with force.
He could no longer hold the bolt in his hand and it fell to the ground.
"It hurts."
"How dare you attack my young lady? I think you are tired of living." After Ah Cheng finished speaking, he exerted force on his hands, and with a "crack" sound, the arm of the head of the Li family broke.
"Ah Cheng." Shang Ruoyi put away the silver needle and saw that the old man's face gradually returned to normal. She turned around and said, "This is the Li family's family affair. We are just outsiders. It's better not to interfere too much."
Li Xia Xia came to the bedside: "Sister Shang, my grandfather..."
"It's okay now." Just as she finished speaking, she heard the old man sighing from the bed.
"Grandpa, grandpa!"
The old man slowly opened his eyes and said to Li Xia Xia, "Grandfather is fine." He sat up, bowed to Shang Ruoyi and said, "Thank you, Miss Shang. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would be..." He cast his eyes on the father and son of the Li family not far away: "I'm afraid I would be killed by these two bastards!"
"Grandpa, don't be angry." Shang Ruoyi said softly, "You have a heart disease. The worst thing is to have too much emotional fluctuations and excessive worry." She was glad that she came to the Li family. It was she who sent a message to the old man, which indirectly caused his heart disease to attack. If something happened to him today, she would feel guilty.
"Yes, Grandfather, please don't be angry. You almost scared me to death just now." Li Xia Xia's eyes were red: "If it weren't for Sister Shang, I don't know what would have happened." She looked at her father and half-brother not far away, her tone full of uncontrollable anger: "Why is it worth it to be angry with them?"
Seeing this, Patriarch Li and Li Quan knew that the situation was hopeless, so they all knelt on the ground and begged, "Dad! I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, I, I won't dare to do it again, just now my son was blinded by greed and did something worse than an animal, please forgive me this time."
"Yes, grandpa, please forgive my father this time!" Li Quan knelt on the ground with his head bruised, fearing that the old man would vent his anger on him.
Shang Ruoyi glanced at the old man and seeing that there was no emotion in his eyes, she foresaw the ending of this father and son.
"Crows know to repay their parents, and lambs know to kneel down to suckle. But you are different. The Li family has supported you until now, and now you want to kill me." He said calmly, with cold eyes: "In this case, you don't have to stay in my Li family."
Upon hearing this, the Li family father and son wanted to argue, but then they saw several servants come forward and drag them away.
During this time, someone pulled his arm that was broken by Ah Cheng, and he wailed in pain.
"It's a misfortune for our family, it's a misfortune for our family!" The old man sighed, looked at Shang Ruoyi and said, "I'm sorry to make you laugh, Miss Shang."
Shang Ruoyi smiled and said nothing, then she heard the old man continue, "I didn't expect you to be proficient in medicine."
"I just understand a little bit."
The old man smiled when he heard this and said, "Be neither arrogant nor impatient, and you will show your integrity. Your last name is Shang, and you are from Tianshun, but you are the daughter of Prime Minister Shang?"
Shang Ruoyi nodded: "That's right."
"The legitimate daughter of the prime minister?" It's no wonder that the old man asked this. The temperament in Shang Ruoyi's every move and gesture is incomparable to that of the legitimate daughters of royal relatives.
"Otherwise, I am a concubine's daughter, the second daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"Oh?" The old man sat up straight suddenly: "But the second young lady who married Prince Ding?"
"The old man is well-informed." Her words acknowledged her identity.
The old man of the Li family looked her up and down, with great waves in his eyes.
That’s right, absolutely not wrong!
No wonder she looked so familiar to me the first time I saw her.
"Child, where is your mother?" he asked anxiously.
"My mother." Shang Ruoyi's lips moved and she whispered, "She's dead."
For some reason, she felt a little sad when she said these two words.
The light in the old man's eyes dimmed, and he leaned against the head of the bed in a somewhat decadent manner and sighed deeply.
Li Xia Xia rarely saw this expression on her grandfather's face, and couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Grandfather, what's wrong?"
The old man did not answer. He looked up at Shang Ruoyi and closed his eyes slightly: "Child, when did your mother leave?"
"Many years."
Shang Ruoyi was doubtful, how did he know her mother?
"senior."
Before she could ask her doubts, the old man grabbed her hand, his eyes red: "Child, I'm sorry, you have suffered so much over the years."
"What's wrong with you?"
"You should call me grandpa." The old man said with tears in his eyes, "Back then, your mother was kidnapped by my enemies. She was only a few years old when she was kidnapped. I looked for her for many years, but there was no news at all. Later, Beiling and Tianshun started trading, and I learned that your mother was taken to Tianshun. When I learned about her, she had already married into the Shang family and became Shangnian's concubine. I asked someone to find out, but that was the Prime Minister's Mansion after all, and the information I could get was very limited. I only knew that Shangnian married the daughter of a wealthy businessman, who was very favored, and had a daughter, who was the second daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. I knew that she was living a good life and the family that adopted her was also wealthy, so I felt relieved."
Shang Ruoyi couldn't help but frown when she heard him say this: "Since you know she is your biological daughter, why don't you recognize her?"
"How can we recognize each other? She was so young when she was taken away that she would not remember anything about her childhood. Besides, I am from Beiling and your father is the prime minister. She is so favored. If your father knew her life experience, he might feel resentful. Now that I know that she has lived a good life and has not suffered any hardship since she was a child, I feel relieved." The old man looked at her and said, "From the first time I saw you, I felt familiar with you. I didn't expect that you are my own granddaughter."
Li Xia Xia looked at Shang Ruoyi and then at her grandfather, and murmured, "Does that mean Sister Shang and I are really sisters?"
Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "You said you are my grandfather, do you have any evidence?"
"Haha, little girl, you are really cautious." The old man took out a box from the bedside, which contained half a jade disk. "Have you ever seen your mother holding this thing?"
Shang Ruoyi shook her head: "I have never seen it."
A trace of desolation flashed across the old man's eyes. "I think it must have been lost on the way! This jade disk was originally a gift from your mother on her first birthday."
At this moment, some vague fragments flashed through Shang Ruoyi's mind, and she whispered, "Do you know what birthmark my mother has?"
"Birthmark?" He shook his head. "Your mother has no birthmark, but there is an inch-long scar in the crook of her right arm. It was left when she fell off the rockery when she was a child. I wonder if the scar has faded after she grew up."
Yes!
Her mother did have a scar on her arm, and Shangnian had said more than once that his mother was very unlucky.
"As long as she can live well, it doesn't matter if she doesn't recognize me."
"She's doing well?" Shang Ruoyi sneered, "How can she be doing well?"
