Dou Xuemei hurriedly nodded; the bit of breakfast was far from enough, it would have been much better if there could be another portion.

But the second breakfast did not come, instead, Yang Ruxin appeared.

Mei Ping could only stand aside with her head lowered in grievance.

"Miss Dou," Yang Ruxin leaned on the doorframe with her arms crossed over her chest, looking at Dou Xuemei, "Since you’re awake, let’s talk."

"Xinxin..." Upon seeing Yang Ruxin, Dou Xuemei immediately put on a frail expression, and tears swiftly misted up in her beautiful eyes, "I didn’t expect Chai Huan to be so impulsive; I’m relieved you’re unharmed..."

"Of course, I’m unharmed." Yang Ruxin chuckled, "I’ve come now not to talk about that, but rather to discuss the medical expenses and food and accommodation issues..."

"Xinxin?" Upon hearing this, Dou Xuemei suddenly burst into tears, "It was right for me to save you, but, Xinxin, how can you be so mercenary? I..."

"I’m just a country girl, not a delicate noble lady." Yang Ruxin laughed as if she heard something amusing, "I’m not just mercenary, I also have a petty bourgeois mindset... Does the law of the Great Xuan Dynasty even stipulate against being mercenary?"

Dou Xuemei opened her mouth but did not know how to respond.

"The assassin was brought by you..." Yang Ruxin suddenly chuckled, "But the ’Laws of the Daxuan’ clearly state that intentionally harming another person is subject to punishment depending on the severity of the case, you know..."

"Xinxin..." Dou Xuemei’s complexion turned pale, "Chai Huan is my cousin’s personal servant..."

"A crime committed by a servant also implicates the master." Yang Ruxin nodded, "Don’t worry, I will settle the accounts with your cousin... However, you should not be concerned about that now, we’re talking about your issue..."

Dou Xuemei bit her lip, and tears slid down her cheeks, truly pitiable, "But, Xinxin, I’ve been in mourning and meditation in the convent, how would I have any silver?" As she spoke, she tried to get out of bed, but this movement pulled at her wound, causing her to gasp in pain and her complexion to turn even paler, before she staggered and fell back onto the bed.

"Miss, be careful, you must not reopen the wound..." Mei Ping hurried over to support Dou Xuemei, then turned to kneel towards Yang Ruxin, "Miss Yang, please have mercy, Mei Ping can work for you, please don’t drive the miss out..."

"You see, my family really doesn’t lack people, what are they supposed to do if you work?" Yang Ruxin actually appreciated this little maid, quite loyal, "You can’t compete with them for work, can you?"

Mei Ping suddenly became so anxious that her face flushed red, but she didn’t know what to say in response.

"Xinxin? Do you... really have to be so heartless?" Dou Xuemei truly felt powerless, "I beg you, could you let me wait until my cousin returns?"

"No." Yang Ruxin shook her head, "This isn’t a charity house, I’ve been merciful enough not to report you and have you arrested, so don’t play the pity card for sympathy; I’m not a compassionate person..."

Dou Xuemei’s face showed a look of astonishment, but she understood that the country girl in front of her was impervious to persuasion, and continuing the conversation was certainly futile, but she could not leave either, she could only sigh, "I’m injured now, really with nowhere to go... how about..." she said, raising her hand to take off the red coral bracelet, "This was given to me by my aunt, can I use this to settle my debt?"
