Xun Hui actually harbored a bellyful of grievances but had nowhere to vent them. In the end, she could only swallow her teeth and head down. Over time, she too came to believe that it was only because of Yang Baihui’s sacrifice that she could marry into the Yang Family, become the eldest daughter-in-law, and be crowned a Scholar’s wife. Therefore, she felt obligated to be magnanimous, to toil thanklessly...
And Xun Hui instilled these thoughts in Yang Dani. She once told Dani that if it weren’t for Sanni’s sacrifice, she wouldn’t have married into the family, nor would there be a Yang Dani. She instructed the children to always remember Sanni’s kindness...
But after Yang Baiyue died, Yang Baihui claimed that it was Xun Hui who had caused the death of her brother. Her actions became even more ruthless. Back when Xun Hui was pregnant with twins, Yang Baihui nearly kicked her to miscarriage. Later, thanks to Li Yi’s assistance, which he offered without expecting anything in return, the two children were saved. Otherwise, it would have been three lives lost in one body.
As she browsed through Yang Dani’s memories, Yang Ruxin’s eyes narrowed ever so slightly. She didn’t know what Dani had been thinking at the time, but now she saw it as a scumbag’s logic, not even sure if a dog, given the chance to tear it apart, would bother to eat it. A killing intent unconsciously revealed itself: she would slowly get even with all of these people.
Yang Baihui was momentarily startled by the cold look in Yang Ruxin’s eyes. But when she tried to take a clearer look, that chill had disappeared and the young girl before her was still as quiet as ever. It seemed she had worried over nothing.
However, before heading to the county town, Yang Baihe had visited her and said that her grandniece had changed, causing quite a stir at home. Seeing her now, she did indeed seem different from before, but Baihe remained unconvinced. What did it matter if she had changed? How much trouble could she possibly cause? Wasn’t she still the child of that wretched woman? How difficult would it be to deal with her?
It wasn’t that she looked down on her own mother and sister, who, aside from being troublemakers, really had nothing going for them, had let this little wretch get the better of them? Truly... In fact, when she learned that her mother and sister were at a disadvantage, she felt a moment of Schadenfreude, but then, remembering Xun Hui’s pathetic demeanor, she felt it was not worth it...
Overall, Yang Baihui’s feelings were extremely complicated. This was why she had returned to her parental home today: to understand the real situation, and besides, she had another plan in mind. However, she had not expected to run into her two nieces in the town, looking as though they really had come into some money.
Yang Ruxin met her gaze fearlessly. She was not afraid of this Sanni. In her view, Yang Baihui not only hated Xun Hui but probably the entire Yang Family as well, which would explain why she seldom visited her parental home during the holidays. As for this encounter, she didn’t believe it was a coincidence.
Sanni, however, seemed somewhat nervous and unconsciously reached out to hold Yang Ruxin’s hand.
"I heard that you actually split the family with your grandparents?" Yang Baihui furrowed her brows at Yang Dani. "You really are bold."
"Yes," Yang Ruxin nodded. "If I were timid, I wouldn’t have survived. This, Sanni, is something you should understand very well."
"You..." Yang Baihui was taken aback, her irritation towards Yang Ruxin’s attitude rising. Yet, glancing at the bustling streets around them and considering her own plans, she eventually managed to suppress her anger. "What kind of way is that to speak? I am your Sanni..."
