Feng Caie looked at the embroidered shoes below, now crawling with maggots, and suddenly felt her stomach churn, turning to the wall to start vomiting.
The tears in Yang Ruyu’s eyes fell even harder, "Mother, my new shoes, I’ve only worn them for two days..." That Yang Ruxin was indeed her nemesis, nothing good ever happened when she saw her.
"Yuyu, let them go, we’ll buy another pair," Feng Caie waved her hand, then turned and left the outhouse, if she stayed any longer, she would be overcome by the fumes.
"Mother, you said it yourself, I want shoes from the town’s Jinxiu Embroidery Store," Yang Ruyu stopped crying instantly upon hearing her mother would buy her new shoes.
"Fine, hurry up and get out," Feng Caie waved her hand dismissively and then turned to leave.
Yang Ruxin ran back to her own room on one bare foot and stayed quiet after that.
However, Yang Ruxin couldn’t help but feel a bit of joy, that Yang Ruyu had such good luck, not falling in was really a waste of a good opportunity.
"Dani, what are you doing?" Yang Peili frowned, "That’s really inappropriate."
"Sir, what do you mean by appropriate? Nobody informed me when they changed the lock on this room, is that appropriate? Since I don’t have the key, then I’ll find a direct and simple way," Yang Ruxin shrugged at Yang Peili, "This room belongs to the senior branch, it just goes to show how flimsy the door is." Saying this, she stepped into the room.
Yang Peili was so angry he felt like he could fall over, but he also knew that his eldest granddaughter had long been out of the Yang Family’s control, and some things could no longer be hidden.
After entering the room, Yang Ruxin looked around. There wasn’t much to begin with, and it was even emptier after the move. The wall plaster was made of lime, but now it was almost completely peeled off, leaving a pile of broken plaster on the floor.
And there on the patchy wall was certainly a spot that seemed to have been recently patched with fresh mud. Scraping it with her hand, the bit of fresh mud on the outside fell off, revealing a hole. Since the other side was also plastered over, it wasn’t letting in light, but it had proven that over many years, that vile man next door had been spying on Xun Hui’s every move through this hole. She finally understood why, when she had first arrived, she sometimes felt as if she was being watched; it wasn’t an illusion, there really had been someone peeping.
She knew that Yang Er and Yang Si were scum, but she never expected them to be this despicable.
Though Xiaofeng didn’t fully understand the situation, he could tell by his sister’s complexion that she was truly angry, and he tugged at her hand, "Big sister."
Yang Ruxin patted her brother’s head, then turned and left the room, "Grandfather, until when do we have to keep this cover-up?"
Yang Peili’s face turned beet red.
At that moment, Yang Baixiang, having returned from the fields, entered the house. Although he wasn’t aware of the earlier incident, he could guess what had happened based on the current situation, as he was present when his second and fourth brothers had been accusing each other. He quickly approached, "Dani..."
"Uncle, it’s not your concern," Yang Ruxin waved her hand dismissively at Yang Baixiang, "This is a longstanding grudge between the senior branch and the Yang Family that needs to be resolved. I thought just splitting the family would be enough, but now I see it’s not. After all, these matters are too filthy, so filthy that I’m embarrassed to even talk about them..."
Yang Baixiang then really didn’t say anything, but he took Xiaofeng away, worried that if his grandniece exploded and started hitting people, Xiaofeng would be caught in the middle.
