Dai Zhigao’s expression became even uglier.
"You bad woman, it’s you again." At that moment, Xiaofeng suddenly rushed over, standing protectively in front of Yang Ruxin, glaring fiercely at Dai Xiyan, "Yesterday, when my sister bought clothes that you liked, you came to snatch them away. When we didn’t give them to you, you wanted to hit someone. Just now, in the courtyard, you called us lowlifes, and now you still want to bully my sister. I may be young, but I can fight you desperately..." He had been following Fang Tianze and Zhou Xiao behind, but from a distance, he saw someone in the house seemingly doing something to his sister, so he hurried in.
Xiaofeng was only four years old, but recently he had been eating well and had put on weight, his pink chubby cheeks making him exceptionally adorable. However, now he was staring at Dai Xiyan with angry, wary eyes that were just... heart-melting to see.
Children speak mindlessly, after all, and the way everyone looked at the Dai Family changed even more...
"Xiaofeng, don’t be angry. With Lord Fang and Madam Fang here, no one can bully your sister," Yang Ruxin said with a heart so tender it seemed to fall apart. She patted her little brother’s head, "Don’t make such a stern face. It doesn’t look good."
Zhou Xiao and Fang Tianze also hurried in and, seeing the smile on Yang Ruxin’s face, both breathed a sigh of relief. This meant Sister Ruxin wasn’t angry.
"Sister Ruxin," Fang Tianze was full of apologies. If he had known this would happen, he really wouldn’t have let Sister Ruxin come. What kind of mess was all this?
Yang Ruxin gave him a comforting smile.
Dai Xiyan hadn’t expected things to turn out this way. Actually, the smartest thing for her to do at this moment was to stay quiet, but she just couldn’t bear it, so in a fit of heat, she blurted out, "You’ve all been deceived by this woman. She’s no good, she’s just being nice to you because... she’s after your money..."
Fang Tianze looked over at once, but his expression was as if he were looking at an idiot.
The faces of the surrounding people also grew even stranger.
Chen Family was not stupid; previously, it was because she was heartbroken for her daughter. Now, seeing the expressions of everyone and the attitude of her own husband, she guessed that this girl might not be so simple, it’s just that her daughter spoke too quickly and she hadn’t managed to stop her in time. She could only quickly cover up, "What nonsense are you spouting, child? Are you still dazed from sleep?"
"I didn’t say anything wrong; she is trying to curry favor with the Fang Family, she..."
Yang Ruxin let out a scoff. Clearly, there were too many fools in this era, she thought, feeling overwhelmed by the urge to smack them.
Fang Tianze, however, felt somewhat ashamed and annoyed, but it wasn’t a good time to speak up, so he could only look towards Yuan Mengzhu, "Mother, Sister Ruxin not only brought medicinal tea for you and aunt, but she also brought Divine Sauce..."
This statement was loaded with information. The Divine Sauce seemed to be a food that suddenly became popular in the last two months, and everyone knew it was sold at Quanshun Building in Lianhua Town. There was only so much every month, and no amount of money could buy it. It turned out that it was made by Yang Ruxin.
This was a real slap in the face. Not only was she Dao Xuzi’s apprentice, skilled in medical arts, but she also held the golden goose that laid eggs. To say that someone like her was trying to suck up was, tsk, weren’t they afraid they’d sprain their tongue with such talk?
"Miss Yang is an honored guest invited by me," Fang Dehua, who had been silent up to then, said with a smile.
Dai Xiyan opened her mouth to speak.
But Dai Zhigao glared at his daughter, "If you don’t shut up, go back home."
Dai Xiyan shrank her neck and really didn’t dare to say anything else. She couldn’t go back; if she did, how could she... She couldn’t help but glance at Fang Tianze, and her heart, once hesitant, finally made up its mind.
