"I vaguely heard them say that if Mother woke up, they would sell her..." Sanni’s eyes flashed with anger. Ever since Father died, she had often heard Nanny mention that Mother was bought, and if she was disobedient, they would sell her in the future. Mother had been working desperately, yet she never anticipated that this day would still arrive," but since it was during the day, I didn’t dare to get too close and didn’t hear very clearly..."
Yang Ruxin’s eyes turned cold, "Don’t worry, I won’t let them sell Mother." That Yang Baihe is really a copy of An Family, with indifference and selfishness embedded in her bones. However, if they really wanted to sell, that would be fine, she could buy her, of course, she wouldn’t come forward herself. She would just get someone to help.
"Mhm." Sanni nodded obediently for once. The days they spent together had fully convinced her of her eldest sister’s reliability. Of course, as time went by, she became a faithful die-hard fan of Yang Ruxin through a series of events and remained so until her hair turned white.
Just at that moment, unexpectedly, the so-called "daughter esteemed by the heavens" Yang Baihe came over, but she didn’t enter the room, standing only at the doorway. Of course, her mouth wasn’t idle either, as she was cracking sunflower seeds.
Yang Ruxin looked at Yang Baihe and slightly raised her eyebrows, thinking to herself how someone like her could become a lady of high status? With a physique as robust as a big bear, she could scare off the average scholars and young masters.
"Dani, I haven’t seen you in a few days, and you seem different," Yang Baihe looked Yang Ruxin up and down. This girl used to not even dare to lift her head in front of her, and today she actually dared to look straight at her. This was indeed an extraordinary event.
"Young Aunt, did you come to see Mother?" Yang Ruxin didn’t go along with her conversation, but instead countered with a question, "Then come in..."
Yang Baihe peeked inside the dark room and then stepped back two steps: "I’d rather not go in."
"Since Young Aunt doesn’t want to come in, I still need to take care of Mother. If you don’t have any business here, you should go back," Yang Ruxin didn’t feel like wasting words with such a person.
"Don’t be hasty," Yang Baihe hurriedly waved her hands, "I came here for a reason."
Yang Ruxin raised her eyebrows at her.
"It’s like this," Yang Baihe finished the last few seeds in her hand, then dusted off her palms, "you should know, my Aunt married into a wealthy family..."
Yang Ruxin’s expression didn’t change a bit. As for An Family’s half-sister, she wasn’t much interested. The "wealthy family" Yang Baihe referred to was just someone who lived in the town with a few leased acres and an oil shop, but she knew Yang Baihe wouldn’t come here for no reason; there must be a problem.
"My Aunt is fond of me and wants me to stay in the town whenever I can," Yang Baihe said with a face full of pride, "but I’m still your young aunt after all. I can’t just enjoy things by myself, so I’m planning to let Erni follow me later. In the town, we have meat and pastries to eat every day."
Erni inside the house was stunned. She was supposed to follow her to the town?
Yang Ruxin couldn’t help but laugh. Where was Yang Baihe really bringing Erni to eat meat? Clearly, she just wanted a servant girl to do the work. Shaking her head she said, "Thank you for your kind offer, Young Aunt, but Erni is still young and cannot leave home. Following you would be inconvenient, and besides, my mother is still unconscious. If she were to leave, who would take care of Mother and the little ones? So, please, go back." With that, she slammed the door shut.
