Chapter 1361: Chapter 1361: Childhood Sweethearts (3)
Dong Wenming didnât even let his wife speak, he directly issued an order, anyone who dared to engage in such vile deeds would be executed by caning.
A classic case of killing the chicken to scare the monkey, the effect was indeed quite good.
However, with one less Daya in the Jinxiu Courtyard, the Ya Family was thinking of sending another person over, but Yang Ruxin refused, directly promoting a girl named Hong Ye from the second-tier servants to fill Wanshuangâs position.
After stirring up trouble for most of the night, everyone finally dispersed.
When Yang Ruxin returned to her room, Du Juan was waiting for her.
âWhatâs your scheme, coming to my room this late at night instead of sleeping?â Yang Ruxin threw a flirtatious wink at Du Juan.
The corners of Du Juanâs mouth twitched, but she didnât pay any attention to Yang Ruxinâs frivolity and instead reported seriously, âIâve found out some information.â
âSpeak.â Yang Ruxin sighed, feeling exasperated by her two unresponsive maidservants; the moment she teased Du Man, her neck would turn red, but no matter how she teased this girl, there was no reaction at all, truly boring her to death.
âAwangâs parents are both born servants of the Dong Family, but he hasnât married yet at the age of twenty-fiveâŠâ
âDoes he have a secret love?â
âAwang and Xia Zi grew up together like siblings. Last night was the anniversary of Awangâs twenty-seventh year, and I saw Xia Zi burning paper offerings behind the houseâŠâ
âBut why would Xia Zi want to kill my mother?â Yang Ruxin frowned. âThere must be someone behind her. Also, go and investigate Xia Ziâs son. I always feel that the way I saw Xia Zi before, she didnât look like someone who had lost a beloved child and husbandâŠâ
âOkay.â Du Juan nodded.
âLetâs sleep now, weâll go out after breakfast tomorrow.â Yang Ruxin stretched lazily.
The next day, nobody found it strange to see Du Juan emerge from Yang Ruxinâs room; everyone knew that Miss Xinxinâs maidservants had been out handling affairs recently. And given that they were also aware of their high martial prowess, especially after last nightâs incident with Wanshuang, everyone was on edge, diligently doing their duties without asking questions they shouldnât.
After breakfast, Yang Ruxin was planning to take Yu Qingge shopping, but a little maidservant came to report that the elder master had invited the cousin miss to the main hall.
âWho has come?â Yang Ruxin glanced at the little maidservant.
âItâs the Dong Familyâs old master from the second branch, he said he came by himself and requested the cousin miss to help take his pulse.â The little maidservant spoke very clearly.
Yang Ruxin knew then that it was the ninety-year-old Dong Fang, and so the shopping trip would have to be postponed. She nodded at the little maidservant, âYou are rewarded.â
The little servantâs eyes instantly widened; how did the cousin miss produce a pear with just a wave of her hand?
Looking at the little servantâs enlarged eyes, Yang Ruxin couldnât help but laugh again, reaching out to pinch the girlâs cheek, similar in age to Sanni, and seeing her reminded her of missing her younger siblings at home.
The maidservantâs face reddened, and she smiled broadly, clutching the pear that was almost as big as her cheek. She originally thought to eat it later, but for some reason, the pear was emitting waves of fragrance, tempting her to take a bite, and once she did, her eyes widened again; it was so deliciousâŠ
Then Yang Ruxin beckoned to Yu Qingge to go to the main hall.
âIâm not going,â Yu Qingge waved her hand. âFacing those old men is too boring. Iâm going to learn embroidery with Sister ZaochunâŠâ
âFine, but I hope when I come back, I donât see a pair of bloodied clawsâŠâ After saying this, Yang Ruxin left for the main hall amidst Yu Qinggeâs protesting voice, accompanied by Zhongxia and Hong Ye, and left the Jinxiu Courtyard.
