Luo Fengtang nodded: "A man of his word is a true gentleman. Ning Xiongbing does indeed need to give Xiaoyu an explanation."

"Just..."

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

“Qinger, wouldn't leaving Xiaoyu at home with Aunt Guihua and Uncle Chang Geng raise suspicions?” he asked again.

Yang Ruqing said, "Xiaoyu's current state, if she goes home, this matter is bound to be concealed."

"Right now, we have no idea what's going on with Ning Su. It's best not to alarm Aunt Guihua and Uncle Chang Geng because they don't even know Xiao Yu turned down so many marriage proposals for Ning Su."

"They husband and wife asked, I have my own words to send them away."

“As for us, let's first comfort Xiaoyu and wait for a reply from the Qing’an County side before making any decisions!” she said.

>

Luo Fengtang hummed in agreement, it seemed this was the only way.

Yang Ruqing found an excuse and perfunctorily appeased Auntie Guihua and Uncle Changeng.

For the next two whole days, Xiaoyu stayed in Yang Ruqing's backyard.

Yang Ruqing spends every day with Xiaoyu, while Luofengtang was sent by Yang Ruqing to the county town to inquire about the news.

On the third day morning, Luofengtang came back from the county town. After having breakfast in the kitchen, just as he finished telling Yang Ruoqing about the news he had heard, a figure rushed into the kitchen.

"Qing'er, has Tang YaZi come back from the county town? What did he find out?"

As soon as Xiao Yu entered the door, she asked.

In the kitchen, Luofengtang was sitting there drinking tea, Yang Ruqing sat beside him. Both of them had a slightly solemn expression on their faces.

Seeing Xiao Yu suddenly run in, Luo Fengtang put down the teacup in his hand, while Yang Ruqing hurriedly stood up.

"Xiaoyu…"

Yang Ruqing had just opened her mouth when Xiaoyu interrupted her.

"Qing'er, how is it going? The two prominent families in Qianyuan County who are getting married, aren't they the Ning family, right?"

Xiao Yu rushed to Yang Ruoqing's side, tightly grasped Yang Ruoqing's arm, and asked in a trembling voice.

Looking at her best friend's pale face and seeing that she hadn't slept well for several nights, crying until her eyes were bloodshot and swollen like peaches.

Yang Ruqing's heart felt a pang of bitterness.

She raised her hand and lightly clasped Xiaoyu's hand: "There haven't been any developments, it's still about the same as what we heard two days ago."

"That's it..."

Xiao Yu's delicate eyebrows were tightly furrowed together. She slowly released Yang Ruqing's hand, turned away, and buried her head under the table.

“A calm sea never made a skilled sailor. It must be Ning's family, it must be Big Brother Ning...”

Please provide me with the text you'd like translated. I can help with that! ?

Her thin shoulders trembled slightly, Xiaoyu covering her mouth, muffled sobs escaping from between her fingers.

Yang Ruqing and Luofeng Tang looked at each other, both of their faces were very solemn.

Yang Ruqing walked over and held Xiao Yu's shoulder, "Don't cry, you've been crying for days, your eyes will go blind."

“Qing’er…”

Xiaoyu murmured softly, then turned around and leaned against Yang Ruqing's shoulder.

"Two more days have passed, and he still hasn't come. Qing'er, he really... doesn't want me anymore..."

"What... what should I do? ???..."

Yang Ruqing reached out and hugged Xiaoyu, who was crying her heart out.

"Don't cry, don't cry, you still have your parents, me, and your goddaughter, baby..."

"Others don't want you, but we do!" said Yang Ruohua.

His eyes narrowed slightly, "You, Ning Su, scumbag, turtle in its shell."

After so many days, where have you gone to die?!

Little Yu cried until she was tired, and then fell asleep.

Yang Ruqing stood by the bedside, looking at Xiaoyu who had lost a lot of weight and looked haggard.

I can't help but shake my head in sympathy.

Damn it, the word "love" is truly the most vicious weapon in the world. Look, in just a few days, it's tortured a lively and beautiful girl into something unrecognizable.

As a best friend, seeing her like this, even in her sleep, still crying... that breaks my heart...

These pains are irreplaceable, they can only be felt by Xiaoyu herself.

“Qing’er.”

The deliberately hushed voice reached through a curtain.

Yang Ruoqing looked up and saw Luo Fengtang standing outside the curtain, peering inside. He seemed to have something urgent to say.

She quickly got up and came to the outside of the curtain, lowering her voice and asking him, "What's wrong?"

Luo Feng Tang's brow and eyes revealed a hint of excitement: "The Qing An Jun Ning family has arrived, and is now at Chang Geng Shu. Chang Geng Shu sent Xia Yu's older brother to tell us, saying that Xia Yu should return immediately."

"Ah?"

Yang Ruoqing thought she had heard wrong.

The Ning family, finally... someone has come?

"Where's Brother Ning? Has Brother Ning arrived?" Yang Ruqing asked.

>

Luo Fengtang was taken aback: "I don't know, Xiaoyu's brother came to deliver a message and hurried back. I didn't have time to ask."

That's it then?

A hint of doubt flashed across Yang Ruqing's eyes.

In bed, Xiaoyu, who had been sleeping soundly, somehow got up at some point.

"Is it Brother Ning?" she asked hurriedly, pulling off her shoes and looking towards the curtain.

“Well, the Ning family has arrived,” Yang Ruqing said.

Xiaoyu became excited, "Great! Great! I knew it, Brother Ning would definitely come. He's a man of his word and wouldn't break a promise!"

Xiao Yu was so happy that she was a little incoherent. She put on her shoes, her coat, and rushed out the door.

She was pulled back by Yang Ruoqing.

“I let Tang Ya Zi go first. You need to wash your face, comb your hair, and tidy up.” she said.

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyu raised her hand to touch her messy hair and finally revealed the first smile she had in several days.

“Still, Qing’er is considerate. If I went like this, I would definitely frighten Big Brother Ning.”

"Hee hee, Qing'er, come help me comb my hair!"

Here is the translation of your content: Let me know if you have anything else you'd like translated!

She quickly brushed her hair and, to cover the redness around her eyes from crying, Yang Ruqing applied a light layer of rouge powder at Ying Xiaoyu's request.

"Qinger, please put this in for me again."

Xiaoyu took out the hairpin that Ning Su had given her from her sleeve and handed it to Yang Ruqing with a bit of embarrassment.

Yang Ruqing took the hairpin and reinserted it into Xiaoyu's hair bun.

"Qing'er, do I look good?" Xiao Yu asked, looking at herself in the mirror.

"She's beautiful, my little Yu is the prettiest." Yang Ruqing said.

"Will I embarrass Ning Ge if I go out looking like this in front of his family?" Xiao Yu asked nervously.

Yang Ruqing smirked: "The most beautiful woman is a confident one." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Xiao Yu nodded and got up.

>

“I’m a little nervous, Qinger, will you come with me?” she pleaded.

Yang Ruqing smiled happily: "Of course, let's go!"

The two people held hands and walked as fast as they could to the main gate of the courtyard. Just as they were about to step onto the road, a carriage came galloping down the road, kicking up a large cloud of dust behind it.

It looks like they're coming from Changping Village and heading towards Qingshui Town.

"Cough cough cough..."

>

Xiaoyu turned her body sideways and raised her sleeve to fan herself.

Yang Ruqing then looked in the direction of the departing carriage, even more astonished. Please let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

“Qinger, don't just stand there, let's hurry!” Xiaoyu urged, turning and running quickly towards the village.

Yang Ruqing came back to her senses and quickened her pace to chase after him.
