"It seems that you are very unconvinced!" Su Qinghe's voice was slightly cold.

"If you want to leave, I won't stop you, but I spent so much money on your medicine, you have to pay me back!"

"Medicine money?" Ji Qingyu licked his lips, which were still filled with the bitter taste of medicine.

"Just tell me! How much did it cost? I'll pay it back to you!"

"Brother Yu! Don't talk nonsense!" Ji Yuan scolded anxiously. "My wife is a rare good lady. You and I are lucky to be bought by her. Don't be willful!"

"Brother! How come you were fooled by a woman again so quickly? Have you forgotten... ugh!"

"Shut up!" Ji Yuan covered Ji Qingyu's mouth and turned to look at Su Qinghe in panic.

"Wife! Yu Ge'er just woke up and his mind is still not clear. What he said is nonsense. Please don't take it to heart!"

"He is very sober, you don't have to protect him, I won't do anything to him!"

Su Qinghe pulled Ji Yuan to her side and looked at the lying Ji Qingyu with a cold face.

"43 taels in total!" Su Qinghe held up four fingers. "But just consider it as a kindness and give you a round number. You can just return me 4 taels!"

"Why is the medicine so expensive? You are clearly trying to blackmail me!" Ji Qingyu looked at the woman in front of him angrily.

"Brother Yu! You were seriously injured. My wife gave you the best medicine. I was there at the time. It was indeed 43 taels."

Ji Yuan looked at him and added, "I boiled your medicine these days. I saw some ginseng slices in it. It's worth the price!"

"I...I can't come up with so much money right now..." Ji Qingyu's arrogance suddenly subsided.

"Can you give me some time? I will definitely pay you back when I have collected all the money!"

"Sure! But in order to prevent you from defaulting on your debt, you must stay with us until you pay back the money!" Su Qinghe looked at him with a smile.

"It just so happens that I'm about to open a restaurant. Since you're Ayuan's younger brother, I'll let you work in the restaurant! I'll pay you the normal salary, one tael of silver a month, with food and accommodation provided!"

"Okay!" Ji Qingyu's eyes flashed and he nodded in agreement.

"Alright! Ayuan, since everyone is awake, you guys can chat! I'll take Xiaoxi out for a walk!"

After Su Qinghe finished speaking, she pulled Lin Xi out of the door, leaving Ji Yuan standing there alone.

"Wife..." Ji Yuan looked at Su Qinghe's back, opened his mouth, and finally called out softly. The person in front of him did not look back, but walked out directly.

"Brother! Everyone has gone far away, why are you still standing there like an idiot!" Ji Qingyu couldn't help but remind Ji Yuan when he saw him standing there.

"Look, she only goes shopping with other men. What she said about asking you to stay with me is actually an excuse!"

Ji Qingyu thought he had seen through Su Qinghe's true face and raised his chin proudly!

"Brother Yu!" Ji Yuan walked to the bedside and sat down, then picked up the unfinished medicine next to him.

"Not all women in the world are heartless! My wife is really good! You won't believe me even if I tell you now. When you stay with her for a long time, you will understand!"

Ji Qingyu drank the medicine without saying anything. It was unclear whether it was because the medicine was too bitter that she didn't want to talk, or if she really took Ji Yuan's words to heart.

While feeding him medicine, Ji Yuan told him about their current situation. He did not stop until Ji Qingyu fell asleep again.

on the street.

Su Qinghe held Lin Xi's hand and walked around aimlessly. Lin Xi now had two more strings of candied haws in his hand.

"Let's go in and take a look at the jewelry!" Seeing a jewelry store in front of them, Su Qinghe wanted to pull people in.

"No! My dear wife! You don't have to spend money!" Lin Xi looked up at the shop, quickly pulled Su Qinghe back, and said obediently: "Xiao Xi doesn't need jewelry!"

Su Qinghe looked at him, understood what was going on, and raised her hand to touch the wooden hairpin on his head.

"Whether you need it or not is your business, whether I buy it or not is my business! Besides... this can't really be considered jewelry!"

"Just tell me what you like. Your wife is not short of money now."

As she spoke, Su Qinghe pointed at the wooden stick on his head which could barely be called a hairpin, and dragged the man inside.

"Hey!" Lin Xi couldn't resist her and had to be pulled away by her.

As soon as I entered the door, a woman dressed as a servant came over with a smile, "Madam, are you here to pick out jewelry for your husband?"

"Although the shop is small, it has a complete range of hairpins, bracelets, hair crowns, etc. You can take your husband around first. If you see something you like, just go to the counter to ask for the price and pay!"

This store seems to be doing good business, the man said, then turned around and greeted other customers.

Su Qinghe pulled the person directly and stopped in front of the display case with hairpins. At a glance, they were colorful, with various materials and styles.

"Is there anyone you like?" Su Qinghe turned to look at him.

"Let's take that one!" Lin Xi pointed to a carved wooden hairpin that didn't look very expensive.

He knew that he couldn't let Su Qinghe change her mind, but he really didn't want his wife to spend money, so he could only buy cheaper ones.

"Okay, since Xiaoxi likes that one, then let's buy it! I'll pick another one I like and give it to Xiaoxi!"

Su Qinghe said this and picked up a black gold hairpin decorated with a few unknown flowers.

"Well! My taste is as good as ever!" Su Qinghe picked up the hairpin, compared it on Lin Xi's head, and smiled with satisfaction.

"My dear wife! This one looks very expensive. It won't be very good for Xiaoxi!" Looking at the hairpin in his wife's hand, Lin Xi shook his head and refused.

"It's better to have an expensive hairpin! An expensive hairpin can show Xiaoxi's status in my wife's heart!" Su Qinghe ignored Lin Xi's obstruction and picked out another hairpin from the pile.

When she was about to take the person to check out, a man's voice suddenly came from behind her.

"and many more!"

Su Qinghe turned around and saw a man dressed as a servant looking at her. Behind him stood a veiled man. Judging from his clothes, he should be the son of a wealthy family.

"Sir, is there anything I can do for you?" Su Qinghe asked.

The person behind him didn't say anything, and the one who answered was still the servant in front of him.

"My lady, the white jade hairpin in your hand is also very much liked by my young master. Can you give it to him?"

Are you here to steal the hairpin?

Su Qinghe looked at the white jade hairpin in her hand and frowned.

The hairpin was snow-white all over, and the top was carved into the shape of a magnolia bud. It looked very elegant. She was going to give it to Ji Yuan.

"I'm sorry, this is what I want to give to my husband. I'm afraid I can't give it up. Please go and have a look at the others!"

After Su Qinghe finished speaking, she turned around and continued to pull Lin Xi towards the counter.

"My lady, I see you already have two other hairpins in your hand. It seems you don't have to have this one. I really like it. Please give it to me!"

Seeing Su Qinghe was about to leave, a veiled man walked out from behind the servant and bowed to her softly in a gentle voice.
