The concubine escaped and cried when she met the prince again

Without waiting for her to get up, Shen Ruolan pushed her down and said, "Don't move. I'm giving you an acupuncture."

"Yes, I thank my master for saving my life." After Ji Ning finished speaking, she lay down on the ground obediently.

Half an hour later, Shen Ruolan took out the needle and told Ji Ning, "Don't work until you recover."

After hearing what Shen Ruolan said, Ji Ning said with a look of embarrassment: "Master, but..."

Her master was kind to her and she was grateful, but today was different from the past. She was now just a little maid, doing nothing and against the rules.

Shen Ruolan said, "Don't say buts. When you get better, I won't stop you from doing anything you want. Otherwise, your frequent illnesses are only causing me more trouble."

When Ji Ning heard Shen Ruolan say this, she had no choice but to respond obediently: "Okay"

After she finished speaking, she paused and asked Shen Ruolan cautiously, "Master, how long will it take to cure my illness?"

Shen Ruolan paused for a moment and said to her, "It's not easy to completely recover from your illness, but when you feel better, I will teach you a set of health-preserving exercises. If you insist on practicing them several times a day, your illness will gradually heal."

This set of health-preserving exercises was passed down to her grandfather by a Taoist friend. Her grandfather said that this was a Taoist health-preserving exercise that was not passed on to outsiders. If practiced persistently for a long time, both major and minor illnesses could be cured. It was comparable to the Shen family's Ghost Gate Needle.

In her previous life, her grandfather had practiced for twenty years. Even at the age of eighty, he was still as light as a swallow, with neat and white teeth, and his overall condition was like that of a man in his fifties.

If it weren't for a car accident, her grandfather would probably have lived another 20 years. Unfortunately, he left her forever in the third year of her work.

Thinking of her grandfather, Shen Ruolan couldn't help but feel sad. She was her grandfather's most proud successor, and now she is gone due to an accident. If her grandfather in heaven knew about this, he would probably be very sad.

Shen Ruolan took a deep breath and prayed in her heart, hoping that her brother would have a safe and smooth life and inherit the legacy left by the Shen family's ancestors.

After hearing what Shen Ruolan said, Ji Ning looked at her with gratitude and said, "Thank you, Master."

Shen Ruolan looked at her and said, "I'm going to eat first. You just had an acupuncture treatment, so you can't eat until 25 minutes later. Take a rest now."

"Yes, master." Ji Ning replied.

After Shen Ruolan got up and washed her hands, she came to the dilapidated main room. Aunt Liu quickly brought her a bowl of wild vegetable porridge and a piece of bread and said, "Master, the meal is almost ready. Please eat quickly."

Shen Ruolan sat down on the cleaned wooden stool, took the rice handed over by Aunt Liu and asked, "How much rice and flour do you have left?"

Aunt Liu told Shen Ruolan truthfully: "Master, there are only about 20 kilograms of rice left, and about 30 kilograms of flour."

Shen Ruolan couldn't help but frown when she heard that the food was almost gone. After a short silence, she said to Aunt Liu, "You go downstairs and eat first. We can talk about the food later."

"Yes, master." After saying this, Aunt Liu turned and left.

After dinner, Shen Ruolan found Ji Han and asked, "What did you find out?"

Ji Han told Shen Ruolan truthfully: "Master, the villagers have said that as long as you don't go to the other side of the river, you can hunt freely in the surrounding mountains, that is..."

"What is it?" Shen Ruolan asked.

Ji Han said: "You just can't enter Nanshan."

After he finished speaking, he paused and continued, "I heard that after entering Nanshan, it is a no-man's land. There are many bandits on the outskirts. They will rob anyone they see. It is common for them to eat people when they are extremely hungry. Once you go deep into the mountains, you will never come back."

After listening to Ji Han's words, Shen Ruolan nodded and said, "Take a few people with you tomorrow and go to Nanshan to investigate the situation. We will discuss the specific matters when you come back."

"Yes, master." Ji Han replied.

"You've been tired all day, go down and have a rest." Shen Ruolan said.

"Yes, I'll take my leave." After Ji Han finished speaking, he hurried out of the lobby and found his sister, asking with a worried look on his face, "Ning'er, how are you?"

Ji Ning looked at his brother and smiled, "Third brother, the master just gave me acupuncture, and I feel much better now."

After she finished speaking, she looked at her brother and said happily, "Third brother, the master told me to keep practicing certain skills in the future, and my illness will be cured."

Get well, and after she gets well, she won't have to endure this kind of pain anymore. Ji Ning felt very happy just thinking about it. You know, this was something she had never dared to dream of before.

After hearing what his sister said, Ji Han looked at her with excitement and asked, "Ning'er, did the master really say that?"

Ji Ning nodded vigorously to his brother and said, "Yes, that's what the master said."

"That's great. Ning'er won't have to suffer in the future." Ji Han finished speaking, his eyes reddened as he said, "If my parents knew about this, they would be very happy too."

When Ji Ning heard her brother mention his parents, she also said with a sad face: "It would be great if our parents were still alive."

Ji Han comforted his sister, "Don't be sad, Ning'er, your third brother will be with you in the future."

Ji Ning nodded and said, "Yes, and the master."

"Yes, and the master." After chatting in the yard for a while, Ji Han and his sister went back to their rooms to rest.

In the next few days, Shen Ruolan and the others were cleaning up the house. She asked people to dig grass from the mountains and covered the roof and surrounding areas of the house with a layer of grass. This way, while keeping warm and protecting from the sun, it could also provide shelter from wind and rain.

Just when her house was almost finished, a group of people suddenly came from outside and shouted into the house: "Hey, everyone inside, get out now."

Shen Ruolan, who was busy in the house, heard the noise and told Aunt Liu, "Aunt Liu, go out and see what's going on."

"Yes, Master." As soon as Aunt Liu finished speaking, Ji Ning ran in with a panicked look on his face and said, "Master, something bad has happened. There is a group of people outside who say that we are living in their house and they want us to move out quickly or they will set the house on fire."

Shen Ruolan didn't want to pay attention at first, but when she heard that the other party was going to set fire to the house, she instantly lost her composure. She hurriedly came out of the house, looked at the people at the door, and said to them in a kind voice: "Uncles and aunts, I spent a lot of money to rent this house from the owner four days ago. Did you make a mistake?"

One of the old ladies stood up and said to Shen Ruolan, "This is my old family's house. My grandson needs a house urgently to get married, so this house is no longer for rent. You should move out quickly."

In fact, they saw that Shen Ruolan and the others had already built the house, so they wanted to take advantage of the ready-made house.

Shen Ruolan was so angry at the old lady's unreasonable words that she laughed. However, she did not get angry on the spot. Instead, she smiled and replied to the other party: "Okay, I spent five taels of silver to rent this house, plus the cleaning these days, so the total cost is about five taels of silver, all in all ten taels of silver, you return the silver to me, and I will move out immediately."
