"Rest assured, we have a place in the other courtyard. We will definitely not neglect our duties..." Dong Hang hastily assured.
Yet Yang Ruxin shook her head, "We’ve been out for several days, and had you confirmed yesterday, I could have made a house call last night, but now... Here’s what I’ll do, I’ll first send my family home, and then tomorrow I will personally visit..."
"This..."
"You can take the silver note back for now, and give it to me when I visit." Yang Ruxin returned the purse and then turned to enter the carriage. "Let’s go." In truth, she hadn’t decided whether to let Xun Hui meet Yang Baiyue; she was definitely not going to let her family go to the Dong Family’s other courtyard. She could have Qian Er take her family home directly, but she couldn’t rest easy with that option, so the visit had to be postponed.
Qian Er snapped his whip, and the carriage rolled away.
Dong Hang stood there with a face full of frustration. Was he being played? How would he explain this to his son-in-law when he returned?
Yang Ruxin didn’t care what he thought. She was just urging Qian Er to hurry back. Although they had only been out for three days, she frankly missed that small courtyard. Of course, what she missed even more was the person next to the small courtyard. She wondered how he had been these past few days, and if he had missed her too. In this era, without a telephone or internet, there was no way to get in touch. With these thoughts, she held Gu Qingheng’s wooden command token in her hand, which he treasured, even though it hadn’t been used...
"Miss Yang." Just as she was musing, a voice came from outside, "What a coincidence."
Yang Ruxin hastily lifted the carriage window and looked out, unable to help but smile, "Young Master Yun, it seems we always happen upon such coincidences."
Yong Cang also smiled, "That’s very true. May I know where the young lady is heading? I am off to Lianhua Town."
"We will also pass by there, but..." Yang Ruxin smiled, "Our carriage definitely can’t match the speed of your horse, so you can go ahead..."
Yong Cang’s lips twitched slightly. Speaking too directly could also be hurtful to others. He felt that each time he met Yang Ruxin, he would get hurt once, but he couldn’t really object to her truthful words, so he just nodded and said, "Then I’ll take my leave," and actually started to run ahead.
"Young Master, this woman really has no manners..." Shi Tian couldn’t hold back any longer.
Yong Cang just gave him a faint look.
Shi Tian had no choice but to hold back what he was going to say next.
Inside the carriage, Xun Hui also looked at Yang Ruxin with a bit of worry, but ultimatly, she had matured and didn’t say anything.
Eager to return home, the carriage didn’t stop at all; after passing through the town, the village soon came into view.
From a distance, a white figure swooshed over, growled lowly at the carriage, then turned and ran back.
"Xiaobai..." Sini and the others, upon hearing the voice, couldn’t sit still any longer, but since they hadn’t reached their doorstep and the carriage hadn’t stopped, they could only shout from inside the carriage.
Soon, the carriage stopped at the gate of the small courtyard.
Yang Ruxin was the first to jump down from the carriage.
"Oh, girl, you’re finally back," Dao Xuzi was the first to jump over, "If you hadn’t returned, I would have had to look for you. I’ve been eating so poorly these past few days..."
Yang Ruxin rolled her eyes at the old man, thinking he was a complete glutton and not worth engaging with, so she first helped move the things off the carriage and dismissed Qian Er before she took the things she bought to the house next door.
