Chapter 2036: Xu Zhengya

Xu Shifei raised his hand to rub his brow: "Xiaoya, I really don’t dislike you..."

"Then why won’t you be with me?"

"I..." Xu Shifei sighed, "You’re still young! Besides, you should call me dad..."

"We don’t have any blood relation, I’m calling you Xu Shifei, and I’m already fourteen. By the end of the year, I’ll come of age. I’m not too young!" Xiaoya’s tone was firm, "If you don’t believe me, touch me, I have everything a woman should have..." She stepped forward.

Xu Shifei was so frightened he took two steps back.

Pfft! Yang Ruxin really couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing.

"Who?" Xiaoya turned her head to look over, her eyes full of vigilance.

"I am..."

"Xu Shifei, you’re rejecting me because of this woman, aren’t you?" The young girl’s tears, which had just stopped, began to fall again, "She..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Sanni was displeased and stepped forward, "How dare you slander my elder sister’s reputation, believe it or not, I’ll hit you?"

Zhou Xiao hurriedly stepped forward and stood behind Sanni.

"You..."

"Alright, you all should hurry to your lessons." Yang Ruxin glanced at the few of them.

"But..."

"There’s no ’but’ about it." Yang Ruxin rubbed Sanni’s head and then looked at Zhou Xiao, "Take everyone away, it’s nothing here, just a misunderstanding."

Zhou Xiao nodded, took Sanni’s hand: "Let’s go."

"Elder sister." Xiaofeng was still a bit worried.

"Go on, I’ll make delicious food for you all when you come back tonight." Yang Ruxin pinched the cheeks of the little ones, "Besides, I need to check your homework."

"Okay." Only then did the group of little ones smile brightly and leave.

And as they passed by the young girl, they made a funny face at her.

"Miss, no, now I should call you madam." Xu Shifei looked at Yang Ruxin apologetically, "Xiaoya doesn’t know better, I..."

Yang Ruxin just smiled faintly: "It’s okay." She handed over the items in her hand, "I brought some gifts for everyone, this is yours."

"Thank you." Xu Shifei seemed a bit uncomfortable.

Yang Ruxin said nothing, nodded with a smile, then turned and walked away. She had brought quite a few gifts and needed to hand them out to everyone.

After making rounds in the school, handing out all the gifts, and chatting a bit with each teacher, an hour had passed. She watched the children practice writing for a while before leaving the school, heading towards the village.

After visiting third uncle and fourth uncle, and the village head’s house, two hours had passed.

"Madam, isn’t that Xu Zhengya over there?" Chun Hua pointed to the girl pacing back and forth by the roadside ahead. "Why is she here?"

Yang Ruxin smiled, unsurprisingly, she must be waiting for her, right?

Indeed, after taking a few steps forward, Xu Zhengya approached: "Yang Ruxin."

"Insolence!" Chun Hua immediately scolded, "How dare you call the madam by her name?"

Yang Ruxin didn’t stop Chun Hua, but instead looked at Xu Zhengya leisurely.

The little girl was clearly startled, wide-eyed she looked at Chun Hua and then at Yang Ruxin. She recalled what Xu Shifei had told her earlier, that although Yang Ruxin was a farmer’s daughter, she had been officially titled third-rank Madam Ruyi by the Emperor, a position much higher than the county magistrate, even the prefectural magistrate would have to kneel before her. She felt a bit anxious: "I..."
