“I’ve told you before, only the Crown Prince, princes, and Commandery Princes have their own exclusive guards.

If I were to cultivate a private army, people would accuse me of plotting a rebellion…” Gu Qingheng rested his chin on Yang Ruxin’s shoulder, “Do you want to be Empress?”

“Not interested.” Yang Ruxin also smiled, “I’m just a village girl, and I plan to stay true to my village girl nature till the end… Being the Empress is too troublesome…”

“If you’re being a village girl, then I’ll be your mountain man…”

“Hey, can you two lovebirds find a more secluded spot?” Just then, Yu Qingge’s voice came from behind, “All this hugging and cuddling is not decent.”

Yang Ruxin couldn’t help but roll her eyes, wriggling out from Gu Qingheng’s embrace: “You have nothing better to do than to spy on us, not afraid of getting sty in your eyes?”

“Not afraid.” Yu Qingge shook her head and then put on a gossipy expression, “Sis, Uncle Xiaowu and that Pei… Auntie Pei seem to really hit it off.

I just took a peek, and Auntie Pei was crying, and Uncle Xiaowu was pretty good at consoling her…”

“You little brat never learn anything good.” Yang Ruxin went over and gave Yu Qingge a noogie, “Learning to eavesdrop, are you?”

“Isn’t Uncle Xiaowu’s happiness our family’s priority right now?” Yu Qingge said aggrievedly, rubbing her head, “Shouldn’t we pay some attention to it?

Besides, it was Mengmeng’s idea…”

Yang Ruxin let out a breath, speechless.

Meanwhile, Pei Xiaoxia had just come out, her eyes red from crying, indeed having shed tears, but she was pushing Yang Baixiang out with her.

“Xinxin…” Yang Baixiang seemed somewhat embarrassed, “I… We…”

Yang Ruxin could tell at a glance, these two were smitten with each other, and she immediately smiled, “I’ll find a matchmaker to propose marriage…”

“No.” Pei Xiaoxia hurriedly shook her head, “Don’t propose, I want to sell myself…”

“What?” Yang Ruxin frowned.

Why is it one after another wants to sell themselves?

Is being a servant so popular now?

“I’ve considered it carefully.” Pei Xiaoxia exhaled, “If I don’t sell myself, I’ll never be able to break away from that family… Xinxin, you should understand…”

“If you’ve made up your mind, then I can only agree.” Yang Ruxin felt she was almost running a shelter, but who asked her to be soft-hearted?

Of course, one could look at it from another angle; if Xiaoxia sells herself to her, she can use her more easily, right?

“Thank you.” Pei Xiaoxia seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

In fact, this idea of selling herself had been analyzed by her cousin before.

If she could really stay with Xinxin, she might even have a better life than in most homes, and there was no need to worry about troubles from others.

In truth, many people wished to sell themselves to come in, but Xinxin wouldn’t accept them.

So, after talking it over with Yang Baixiang, she decided on the spot.

As long as she worked hard, Xinxin wouldn’t let her down.

Initially thinking that resolving Pei Xiaoxia’s issue might take a few days, who would have expected that just after they settled it, the Pei family stirred up trouble, coming over from the Zhao Xinghua’s place.

Yang Ruxin had seen too many unreasonable people before, so when she saw Pei Xiaoxia’s mother again, she wasn’t the least bit surprised.

In any era, ignorance breeds unreasonable people.

“Xiaoxia, I am your birth mother.

Are you really going to abandon me?

Have I given birth to you in vain…” Xiaoxia’s mother cried pitifully, “You’ve grown so big and still haven’t married off yet.

Your elder brother is also thinking of your best interests.

Why won’t you listen?

In the future, I have to rely on your brother to care for me in my old age…”
