"Donât be afraid, I came to find you just for collaboration." The woman in black said, lifting her hand to remove her hood.
Yang Ruban felt his eyes brighten, then he couldnât look away. In his whole life, heâd never seen such a seductive woman, not even the top courtesan in Baihua Building could compare. At that moment, any man would feel an urge to indulge in the beauty.
The woman smiled slightly, "Does this seem sincere enough?"
Yang Ruban nodded mechanically, "Beautiful sister, tell me, what do you want me to do?"
"Itâs simple, just get one of Yang Ruxinâs siblings out of the house." The woman said, placing a pouch back into Yang Rubanâs hands, "This is the deposit. After itâs done, there will be double."
Yang Ruban smacked his lips, double? That means another two hundred taels? Heâd never seen so much silver in his life. Just as he was about to nod, he suddenly stopped and sized the woman up, "I have another condition."
"Tell me!"
"You have to spend a night with me, uh..." Yang Ruban screamed in fright when a dagger appeared suddenly at his neck, "That was... a joke."
"A joke?"
"Yes, I was joking." Yang Ruban was almost in tears, "Just give me the silver."
The woman in black snorted coldly and disappeared in a flash.
"Scared me to death." Yang Ruban hurriedly patted his chest, then looked at the pouch in his hand. Fortunately, the gold was still there. He quickly tucked it into his shirt, turned around to run, but halted after a few steps, then dashed back in the opposite direction. Since sheâd given him silver, he had to get the job done quickly. Suddenly, he stopped again. After getting the person out, where would he send them? But then he thought, that womanâs skills looked impressive; maybe sheâs waiting nearby. So, he should quickly get the person out first.
Meanwhile, Yang Ruxin returned home with her mother, second sister, and little brother, along with Yang Baixiang and Pei Xiaoxia entering together.
"Leave tomorrow, Xiaoxiaâs pregnant," Dong Wenxiu mentioned, "The guest room is ready."
"Then I wonât stand on ceremony with big sister-in-law; Iâm really tired." Pei Xiaoxia nodded.
"But still take a bath before sleeping, itâs dirty coming in from outside."
After everyone had washed up and changed clothes, Luo Qiaoqiao helped prepare the meal, "Madam, Iâll head back first."
"Take some food back for you all to eat, no need to keep busy cooking," Yang Ruxin signaled to Chai Qin.
Luo Qiaoqiao didnât decline, "Oh madam, I saw Ma Laiwang before."
"Ma Laiwang? What about him?"
Luo Qiaoqiao shook her head and recounted earlier events, "I feel like the marriage between him and Yang Baihe might be uncertain."
"Ma Laiwang is a good lad," Feng Zilan sighed, "In the village before, if anyone had something, heâd lend a helping hand, but he has such a mother..."
"Isnât this after he argued with Yang Baihe?" Sanni suddenly brightened her eyes.
"You even saw them arguing?" Erni cast a sidelong glance at Sanni.
"It was at the village entrance; you all went up the mountain while we were heading back. She wanted to pick a fight with us, but we ignored her, and she was eventually scared off by Yang He." Sanni covered her mouth and laughed, "We hadnât gone far when Ma Laiwang arrived. If you donât believe, ask Yang He; we were curious and went back to secretly listen for a while."
