"Don’t be nervous, it’s just a little bug." Yang Ruxin said with a chuckle as she walked over to behind Dai Xiyan, where she plucked a silver needle from the door panel, and indeed, there was a little bug impaled on it.
A puzzled look crossed Dai Xiyan’s pretty face.
"My sister was kindly helping you get rid of a bug, and just listen to you scream..." Sanni clicked her tongue twice in disdain, "Good thing my sister is a girl, otherwise people might think she was trying to do something else to you..."
"You..." Dai Xiyan found herself at a loss for words.
"What about me? Want to fight? Don’t think I’m afraid of you!" Sanni said as she started to roll up her sleeves.
Dai Xiyan shivered a bit and instinctively glanced at Yang Ruxin, who was smiling, realizing this person might know martial arts and she definitely couldn’t be a match, so she immediately backed down.
With their own Family Head silenced, those maids were even less likely to step forward.
"You just wait..." Dai Xiyan’s eyes suddenly reddened, and then, with a stomp, she ran away crying.
Yang Ruxin shrugged her shoulders, thinking they can wait if they want to, but turned her head back to take a look at Du Qiniang.
"Don’t worry, it’s no big deal." Du Qiniang smiled with unconcern.
"If you have a chance to go to town, be sure to come visit my place." Yang Ruxin told Du Qiniang the location of her shop and then led everyone out of the shop.
Although they had been through two incidents, Yang Ruxin was not affected at all. Seeing that their big sister was fine, the little ones were naturally unaffected too: talking as they should talk, laughing as they should laugh, all except Xun Hui, who looked deeply worried.
Yang Ruxin couldn’t be bothered with her and simply led everyone to a jewelry shop, letting each person pick out an accessory.
After the extravagance of buying clothes, Xun Hui had calmed down by now. Although she still felt it was a waste, when she saw the silver bangle that Yang Ruxin slipped onto her wrist, she couldn’t help but smile happily. Every woman likes pretty clothes and jewelry, and Xun Hui was a woman too, a beautiful woman at that, so of course she liked them too. It was just that years of hardship had made her forget that she was also a woman and that she was still young.
At that moment, she felt just as joyous as a young girl.
Seeing Xun Hui’s smiling eyes and brows, Yang Ruxin couldn’t help but sigh, "Mother, look, isn’t this beautiful?"
Xun Hui’s face turned slightly red, and then she glanced at Yang Ruxin, "Ruxin, it’s alright to spend the silver today, but in the future, we really need to save a bit more..."
"Okay." Yang Ruxin didn’t want to argue and just nodded slightly.
Afterward, everyone went on to enjoy various strolls and treats, simply having fun their way, until finally they were all too stuffed and tired to continue and decided to return to the inn.
The little ones who had been complaining about being tired were now hopping and skipping around up front again.
"Ouch!" Xiaofeng, being a boy with more energy, was always running ahead and occasionally looking back to check on his sisters, but he wasn’t paying attention and bumped into someone.
The person was carrying something, and with the impact, the object fell to the ground, making a ’clack’ as it landed on the stone pavement and shattered.
Xiaofeng was so jolted that he fell to the ground. While his bottom hurt, when he saw the broken Jade Pendant on the ground, he didn’t dare to cry and looked at the other person apprehensively.
"Xiaofeng, are you okay?" Yang Ruxin in the back immediately noticed the situation upfront and rushed over in a few strides, pulling Xiaofeng up, "Did you hurt yourself anywhere?"
