The truth was finally out, and no matter what happened on the Wang Family’s side, the Yang Family had completely put their minds at ease, while Yang Ruxin’s status in people’s hearts had risen considerably higher. Previously, there may have been more envy, but from this point forward, it was more about awe.
People are like this, when everyone’s situation is similar and suddenly one person becomes better off than the others, that person is sure to arouse the envy of everyone. However, if someone reaches a height that is unattainable by others, then there’s no envy anymore, only admiration and aspiration.
At this point, Yang Ruxin had reached a height where others could only admire and look up to her, not to mention anything else, just her medical skills alone had made everyone wary.
After the people from the Wang Family left, Yang Ruxin didn’t say anything. She genuinely hadn’t expected Yang Rusong to do as he had claimed; she had merely had a moment of soft-heartedness.
Feng Caie took a deep breath, feeling quite happy inside. Although Wang Baozhu was irritating, didn’t that also indirectly indicate her son was highly regarded? Of course, she was also truly grateful to Yang Ruxin, thinking perhaps they should socialize more with that family, as they might be useful in the future.
It has to be said that Feng Caie wasn’t completely unreasonable like Yang Anshi; after all, her father was a Scholar and had been taught certain principles of conduct since she was young. Although she was somewhat spoiled, she still had her own thoughts. Later, after marrying into the Yang Family and finding that none of her sisters-in-law could surpass her, with her in-laws somewhat flattering her, and having given birth to the eldest son, she inevitably became spoiled. Coupled with the children gradually growing up and needing more Silver Coin, she turned into someone more shrewd and stingy.
This time, after causing a fuss and returning to her parents’ home, her parents actually scolded her, so her thinking had become somewhat clearer at this moment.
Upon seeing that her brother was alright and being able to go out, Yang Ruyu was also aware of her mother’s intention to cozy up to the main branch of the Yang Family and was extremely supportive. If her mother could get on good terms with them, it would make things much easier for herself in whatever she wanted to do.
Yang Ruxin ignored the flattering smile Feng Caie was casting her way and called for the youngsters to head home.
"Xinxin, is everything alright?" Xun Hui followed them, having anxiously waited at the door the whole time. Seeing Yang Ruxin come back, she hurried over and grabbed her arm, "That Wang Baozhu..."
"It’s all fine now," Yang Ruxin shook her head, "Wang Baozhu was just trying to pin things on Yang Rusong. Now that she’s been exposed, even with her thick skin, she wouldn’t dare to continue with her lies."
"That’s good to hear," said Xun Hui, murmuring a prayer of gratitude, "Rusong didn’t become a Scholar easily, and that Wang Baozhu is not a decent woman. If he really ended up marrying such a daughter-in-law, it would have been ruinous... But that girl, at such a young age to be... What about the child in her womb, how innocent? Sigh, who knows whether it can be saved, it’s really pitiful..."
Yang Ruxin gave Xun Hui a look and then turned to leave. She knew this woman overflowed with the heart of a sanctimonious saint, but she had figured out the trick by now; whenever it got to this point, it was best to just ignore her, and after her own mumbling, everything would be fine.
However, Yang Rusong’s incident had served as a wake-up call for the Guan Family; their son now had a different status, with good looks to boot, so there was bound to be many who coveted him. Fortunately, Wang Baozhu hadn’t targeted Qingshu, because if she had...
