One of them is to take tonics, which cost ten taels of silver per dollar. You already have this money, but you still worry about not finding a suitable place to stay in Yanzhou City?
Therefore, her words never sounded like the truth.
Why pretend to be poor when you are obviously rich?
Tang Zhou remained calm and did not continue to ask further questions, deciding to wait and see for the time being.
"Why don't Miss Suzuly eat it, and your sister?"
"We have eaten. Mr. Tang, please eat more. This medicinal porridge was made just for you. Mr. Tang, you eat first. I won't disturb you. I will come over later to clear the dishes. We are just outside. It’s not far, if you need anything, just call us.”
"Okay, thank you Miss Suzuly."
Tang Zhou thanked her without showing any trace. Although he couldn't see her, he still looked ahead and watched her off.
Then, I couldn't hold the spoon anymore.
It's not that I'm weak and has no strength, it's that I feel guilty.
What if Miss Suzuran risked her entire family fortune just to hurt him? If that's the case, wouldn't he be a bastard if he still suspected that she had impure intentions and ulterior motives?
And wait a minute, if you were really poor, you wouldn't be able to be so extravagant every day, there would always be a day when you would be exposed.

Shen Zhixi's room was opposite Tang Zhou, separated by half a small courtyard.
As soon as he returned to the house, Shen Zhixi began to tell Yuanyang: "Tomorrow's medicinal diet should be changed. The medicinal materials should be replaced with more expensive ones, and jade ginseng should be added to strengthen the body."
"Jade ginseng?"
Yuanyang blinked his eyes, not knowing why.
"Miss, that jade ginseng is naturally not expensive for our Shen family, only more than fifty taels of silver. But for our current status, it is almost a sky-high price. We are just setting up stalls to make a living, how can we do this? Aren't you afraid that if you spend a lot of money to buy medicinal materials, you will arouse the suspicion of Tang Zhou? Didn't you say that you can't let him know our true identity? "
Shen Zhixi smiled at her with a deep smile.
"You, just do as I say. I'm not afraid of him doubting it, I'm just afraid he won't doubt it. Don't worry, this is a trick used by your young lady. I won't do anything that won't work."
Looking out through the wide open bamboo door, I could just see the pot of lily of the valley flowers placed on the opposite window.
Under the shadow of the blossoming buds, Tang Zhou's figure was looming.
As he watched, Shen Zhixi's thoughts gradually drifted away.
In his mind, he imagined what the child would look like in the future, and unconsciously a smile appeared on his lips, full of longing.
"By the way, miss, when I went back in the morning, I heard that Qin Mu came to the house to look for you."
Hearing the name Qin Mu, Shen Zhixi suddenly felt disappointed. The smile on his lips disappeared. He frowned and asked impatiently: "What did he say?"
"He said he hasn't seen Miss for a month and is worried that Miss you are sick and insists on seeing you. Although Butler Feng persuaded him to go back, I don't think he will give up."
"Of course he won't give up. With such a huge fortune as the richest man in Yanzhou, how can he give up?"
Speaking of Qin Mu, Shen Zhixi's face was full of disgust.
In fact, she and Qin Mu grew up together as childhood sweethearts. The Qin family used to have some wealth, but then their family fell into poverty and became poor. If it weren't for the Shen family's constant help, they would have been unable to survive. At that time, even if her mother objected, she still wanted to be with Qin Mu, but what she got was betrayal.
A month ago, Qin Mu brought a cousin back and said she was homeless and asked her to help find a job for the cousin.
For Qin Mu's sake, she not only arranged a job for her cousin, but also built a yard for her. She skipped meals at night to deliver things to her cousin, but she didn't want to catch Qin Mu and his cousin expressing their love for each other. , saying that marrying her, Shen Zhixi, was just a temporary measure and the purpose was to seize her family property.
By then, he had taken control of the Shen family's property, divorced her, Shen Zhixi, and then married his cousin.
At that time, she didn't break in the door, but she was secretly determined not to make it easy for him.
"And Miss, the shopkeepers of several branches also seem to have something to ask Miss. Is Miss going to go out?"
"Of course I have to go. Giving birth is important, but you can't ignore serious things for a man. Business is still the most important thing. It just so happens that Qin Mu's matter has to be dealt with."

When I returned to Tang Zhou's house, I saw him kneeling on the ground again, vomiting blood.
Shen Zhixi walked into the room quickly, and he was about to fall down. Fortunately, she caught him quickly and let him lie down in her arms.
There was a difference between men and women, so he had to stay away to avoid suspicion.
But he was so weak that he couldn't even lift his hands.
"Mr. Tang, let me help you go to bed." Shen Zhixi wanted to help him up, but he was heavy and she couldn't lift him up after several attempts.
"Ling, Miss Suzulan..."
He was very weak and could hardly speak.
"Just put me on the ground. Don't worry about me. I'll just take it easy." He felt guilty. It was really embarrassing to let a weak woman move him from the ground to the bed.
"How can this be done? Although it is the beginning of spring, the ground is still a little cold. However, my sister has just left for the city. I... I don't dare to move you at will, not to mention the trauma. I will feel sorry if your internal injuries become more serious."
Yuanyang had indeed gone out into the city to buy the jade ginseng medicinal materials she had just ordered.
So now there was no one to help her, and she couldn't carry him back to the bed, and she couldn't let him fall on the ground, so she could only let him continue to lie in her arms, which was a good opportunity to enhance their affection.
Tang Zhou struggled feebly, panting slightly, as if he was about to close his eyes at any moment.
"Miss Suzuli, put me down."
"I know what Mr. Tang is worried about, but I am just a mountain village girl. There are not so many rules about the protection of men and women. If I had avoided these things, we would not have brought you a strange man home at that time. Mr. Tang should rest in peace and recuperate. Don’t take things personally.”
Shen Zhixi can speak nice words without hesitation.
After all, they all learned it from those bad men. Men always like to talk sweetly in order to coax women.
Men can say it, but women can't say it?
"Miss Linglan's kindness and good intentions make Tang Mou feel ashamed. Tang Mou has been reduced to such a situation, like a lost dog. He doesn't know if he will be able to make a difference in the future. What's more, he is blind. He may become a useless person and will be disabled in the future. I don’t know if I have a chance to repay the girl.”
Shen Zhixi frowned, he thought she saved him in order for him to repay her in the future.
But that's right, she does not ask for anything in return.
It's just that the reward she wanted was different from what he thought. He probably thought she wanted a fortune or some kind of honor and glory, but in fact, what she wanted was a child with the advantages of his bloodline.
"Don't belittle yourself, Mr. Tang. Difficulties are only temporary. No matter how big the storm is, there will always be a time when it calms down. I heard a poem in a play before, and I think it is very suitable for the current situation. It can also be regarded as my inner wish for the prince."
"I hope you will have wings and transform into a northern sea fish."
