CapĂtulo 2042: Chapter 2042: Canât (1)
Yang Ruxin sized up the other party, nodded slightly, âItâs nothing.â
Ma Laiwang visibly let out a sigh of relief, because there had been news from the Governorâs Office earlier, saying that Yang Ruxin had already been conferred an official title by the Emperor, and even a county magistrate would have to kowtow to such a high-ranking official, so he was really afraid of angering the other party.
He knew about the Yang Familyâs affairs. After all, they made quite the commotion more than once or twice. Previously, everyone said that Xun Huiâs family was the pitiable one, but who could have thought that in just two short years, the people of the Yang Familyâs main branch had become out of reach for everyone.
Itâs not that he had much affection for Yang Baihe, but there was no choice. With such a mother in the family, no matter how hard he worked, they remained dreadfully poor. Now everyone in the village basically had some spare cash, except for their familyâŠ
But she was his mother. His father had hit her and scolded her too, but it was of no use.
This year, he was already twenty-four. If he didnât marry soon, the Ma Family would really face extinction.
So no matter what, he had to marry Yang Baihe, especially since the Yang Family now had a Scholar.
âWhat do you mean âitâs nothingâ? You donât even acknowledge me as an aunt now!â Yang Baihe wouldnât have it, lifting her hand to wipe her face with her sleeve. âHow can you be so heartless?â
âYang Baihe, you need to understand. The main branch of the Yang Family is now independent. My family and yours are two different Yangs.â Yang Ruxin smiled, âYou must understand that feelings are reciprocal. If you had been a bit kinder to us, things wouldnât have come to this today. Instead of stirring trouble here, instead of just thinking about how to take advantage, why not go back and think about how to live a good life.â
Yang Baihe wanted to say something, but Ma Laiwang pulled her back, âBaihe, letâs go.â
âLet go of me.â Yang Baihe shook off Ma Laiwangâs hand vigorously, âWhy should you meddle in my affairs? I donât even want to marry you.â Then she turned and walked away.
Ma Laiwangâs face flushed red with embarrassment. He glanced at Yang Ruxin but didnât know what to say. He could only force a smile and then turned to chase after Yang Baihe.
Yang Ruxin shrugged. Actually, Ma Laiwang seemed to be quite a reliable person. If Yang Baihe married him and was just a bit sensible, their future wouldnât be too difficult. But the premise is that Yang Baihe shouldnât cause any trouble.
Just as they were about to enter, Dao Xuzi ran out and pulled Yang Ruxin aside, âXinxin, did that Nian Qianqian really go to Beijing?â
Yang Ruxin nodded, âSheâs been living in the General Residence. She only left when we were about to returnâŠâ
Dao Xuzi suddenly sighed, his face full of hesitance.
âMaster, can you tell me about what happened back then?â Yang Ruxin suddenly became curious.
âI canât.â Dao Xuzi looked at Yang Ruxin firmly and shook his head.
âCould it be that you liked Senior Nian back then, but Senior Nian liked Changyangzi, and Changyangzi, considering you his friend, wanted to match you two, so he avoided Senior Nian?â
Dao Xuzi frowned, looking at Yang Ruxin, then suddenly scoffed, âYour story is well-crafted. You could make some money in a teahouseâŠâ Then he turned and walked away.
âIf you donât say anything, I can only guessâŠâ Yang Ruxin quickly followed Dao Xuzi up the slope behind the courtyard. After rounding a bend, they saw a place surrounded by a fence taller than a person.
