Yet Yang Ruqing smiled.

"Are you stupid? It's precisely because she became a county princess that she made up her mind not to contact your aunt and uncle." She said.

"If I'm not mistaken, she must have been saved by a benefactor by sheer chance."

“Then, you kindhearted person, seeing her pitiful state, of course, she would also pretend to be pitiful.”

Then, they would inquire about one's family background, either feigning amnesia or concocting a string of tragic tales to elicit sympathy.

Then, it was a natural progression to come to the capital and become a county princess.

Her folks back home are poor, they wouldn't get in touch anyway. She's afraid they'd hold her back, she wants to enjoy wealth and glory all by herself!

Hearing Yang Ruqing's insightful analysis, Luofengtang nodded secretly, finding it very reasonable.

"If that's really the case, then your cousin is truly awful!"

"Aunt and Uncle have worked so hard to raise her, and they haven't even had half a day of filial piety from her," Luofengtang said.

"Even if you don't want to be dragged down, it's good to give your family a little update so they don't worry so much."

"Never seeing the living and never seeing the dead, isn't that torment?"

When he mentioned this unknown wait, he thought of his own mother.

For nineteen years, I've endured by waiting like this.

From a youthful girl, she has become this middle-aged woman today.

The most beautiful years of a person's life are all wasted.

Seeing Luofeng Tang's furious expression, Yang Ruqing guessed that he had been moved by the emotion.

So, she quickly changed the subject.

"Everything in the world has cause and effect. I still say that, your cousin is so selfish and self-serving that she doesn't even care about her own parents,"

"In the end, it's still your aunt and uncle who don't know how to educate people."

They dug their own grave.

“Think about what your aunt and cousin did to you, putting honeysuckle in your rice bowl. Do you still have the heart to feel sorry for them?” she asked.

After a few words, Luo Fengtang was speechless.

"That's right, the good and the bad are all other people's business, none of our concern."

He said.

"This trip back, let's not bring this up again. Since she wants to live anonymously, there's no need for us to expose her. Everyone has their own way of life." He added.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

“No, this has nothing to do with us. We don't care.”

Yang Ruqing echoed, "If Zhou Xia lived her own life peacefully, she'd walk her Yangguan Road, and we'd cross our own plank bridge."

"But if she's restless and tries to use her status as a princess to trip us up, we won't be polite!" she said.

Luo Fengtang nodded: "That's for sure, she's not merciful, and we can't be soft either."

"Qing'er, you've completed your audience with the emperor and attended the sea-tangerine flower festival, and we've also rescued the people from Xiangyu Lou."

"Well, what now?" he asked.

Yang Ruqing thought for a moment and said, "I'll temporarily acquire Xiangyulou first and let Sister Hua and the others find someone to renovate it."

"The matter in the capital has come to a temporary end. I think I should return to the village and wait until summer when I can return to the capital and prepare for the reopening of the brothel. What do you think?"

Luo Fengtang said, "Good, I've wanted to go back for a long time."

Yang Ruqing said, "Then we can discuss it with Mother and the others at dinner tonight."

If they still want to play in the capital for a few days, we can accompany them.

"If they also want to go back, let's set off as soon as possible. We can also take advantage of this opportunity and get Qixingyun to come over again."

"I feel like he's still hung up on you!" she said.

Luo Fengtang's face looked a little strange.

It was a good sentence, but why does this girl make it sound so off?

To be honest, the biggest reason I really want to leave the capital city isn't that it doesn't suit me.

It was also because of concern for Qixingyun.

Men's intuition always felt that Qixingyun had some kind of feelings for Qing'er!

But Ke Luofengtang wouldn't say it out loud.

“I’ll go tell Mother right now. I don’t feel well here, and when I’m done, I’m going home!” he said.

Yang Ruqing giggled. "Look at you, so full of energy! Alright, just tell me then!"

Luo Fengtang was a person of action. He said what he did, and immediately went to the next room to tell Tuo Ba Xian about it.

When it was time for dinner, without Yang Ruqing having to speak, Tuo Ba Xian announced that they would be setting off back the day after tomorrow morning.

Leave a day free tomorrow, to give the horse some good feeding.

Let's also tidy things up and buy what needs to be bought.

Then Yang Ruoqing also had to go find Huajie and Yunniang to explain some things again.

The next day, in the afternoon, Yang Ruoqing returned to the inn from outside and found Luofeng Tang waiting at the entrance of the inn.

At first glance, it seemed like it was made just for her, but upon seeing her, the usual joy he felt when she arrived vanished.

He looked rather serious at this moment.

“Well now, what's with the look? You making a scene because I'm back? Don't tell me you've got a woman hiding in your house!”

Yang Ruqing playfully said.

Luò Fēng Táng didn't feel like joking, and took a circle of small paper strips from behind.

"Just received, your fifth uncle passed it on to me." he said.

Hearing this, and seeing his expression, Yang Ruoqing's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

>

As soon as I received the note and unfolded it with all speed, the first thing that came to mind was my parents.

Could it be that something happened to my parents?

His hand, clutching the piece of paper, trembled slightly.

The note was unfolded, revealing a few lines of writing on it.

Yang Ruqing's face was startled, but her hands stopped trembling.

“My grandpa, he told us we'd have to go to a funeral? My grandma and my uncle are almost gone?”

She exclaimed in surprise, raising her hand to look at Luo Fengtang.

Luo Fengtang frowned: "When you left, your uncle was ill, we all knew that."

"But your mother...isn't she healthy except for her eyes?" he said.

Yang Ruqing shook her head. "I guess my grandma is eight out of ten aware of my uncle's illness and was stimulated by it."

As for my uncle and second brother, they have always kept it a secret from him.

"He probably knew himself, so he was hit hard."

She analyzed it carefully.

Sometimes, mental strength is also very mysterious and shouldn't be underestimated.

Just like a person who hasn't been diagnosed with a terminal illness, they can eat, drink, run, and jump, seemingly just like anyone else before the diagnosis.

But, a physical examination revealed something.

>

It's like a bolt from the blue, hitting him right on top of his head. Then, this place isn't right, and that place isn't normal either.

The whole person, like an orange that had been picked and left out to dry, withered away.

Therefore, Uncle Yang Huainan definitely knew about it, so he collapsed...

"Let's go inside and talk about this."

Yang Ruqing said, "Let's go into the inn first."

Luo Fengtang hurried to catch up.

"Don't they know?" she asked as she picked things up.

Luo Fengtang said, “Understood.”

"Mhm." Yang Ruqing replied, "We should all get some rest early tonight. We'll head back tomorrow morning when the sky is just starting to brighten!"

"Alright, I'll go reinforce the carriage in the backyard!"

Luo Fengtang turned and walked out of the house, catching a long-distance carriage. The carriage must be inspected at all times.
