The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space

Chapter 1354: Chapter 1354: Inquiring News (2)

”But...” Yu Qingge sighed, ”Shall we go back? To tell the truth, although this place is a prestigious family estate, I still find living in your little tower more comfortable...”

”I can’t leave just yet,” Yang Ruxin shook her head. ”I still have things to do, but I can send someone to take you back first.” She had already sent Gu Cheng and Gu Ming to Quanzhou, instructing them to make contact with the Chu Family and the Duo Family first, and by the end of the month at the latest, she intended to pay a personal visit. Once everything was resolved there, she could also return home.

”Don’t,” Yu Qingge quickly shook his head, ”I will stay with you.”

”Then let’s find time to go out for a good stroll by ourselves,” Yang Ruxin patted Yu Qingge’s shoulder. She also wanted to visit Suzhou. The phrase ”outside Suzhou’s walls near Hanshan Temple” from the poetry she read in her younger years had made her yearn to see it for a long time.

Yu Qingge nodded happily, ”Okay, but right now, let’s energize ourselves and deal with that scumbag.” As he spoke, he clenched his fist.

Yang Ruxin burst into laughter.

In fact, not long after dinner, Yang Baiyue and Dong Ruoqiu had returned to the Dong Family residence. Ever since their marriage, they had been living in Qingqiu Pavilion, which was Dong Ruoqiu’s boudoir; next door to the Brocade Pavilion. The back doors of both courtyards abutted each other and faced the same small garden.

Since leaving Zhongxia and Wanshuang behind, Du Man and Du Juan had been dispatched by Yang Ruxin, dressing as men and seemingly engaging in playful wandering. Of course, that was just the cover, their real mission was to gather information from all around Hangzhou City. It didn’t matter what kind of news it was - they would even take interest in which wealthy householder had developed hemorrhoids. After all, they had silver, and if they couldn’t find out on their own, they would hire others to inquire...

Yang Ruxin required them to compile the information every three days. Useful details were to be recorded, temporarily useless ones were to be noted separately, and the genuinely trivial ones were to be discarded.

So, when Yang Ruxin heard the noisy clamor from outside, she had Wanshuang go check out the situation there.

While Wanshuang was pondering what excuse to use to go over, Miss Xinxin directly gave her a legitimate reason. Although desperately trying to disguise it, the urgency in her steps betrayed her eagerness.

”Xuxu, you go take a look too,” Yu Qingge instructed the maid by his side after Wanshuang left the room, ”See to what extent that arm is broken.”

Xuxu nodded and went out as well. She had some medical skills, so naturally, she could discern whether the person truly had a broken arm.

Yang Ruxin did not interfere; having an extra person to gather information was a good thing. However, her gaze seemed unintentionally to fix on Zhongxia.

Zhongxia was sitting beside, sewing. When she heard the young mistress and son-in-law return, she accidentally pricked her finger with the needle. Later, as Wanshuang left, she quickly raised her head to glance at the other’s retreating figure, then continued with her needlework, but Yang Ruxin clearly saw the intense loathing and disgust in her eyes.

Zhongxia had a deep-seated dislike and hatred for Wanshuang.

When Yang Ruxin first moved into Jinxiu Courtyard, she held a separate meeting with each servant, which was actually just a simple hypnosis to get them to reveal their innermost thoughts without any guards; while it couldn’t determine a person’s nature one hundred percent, it was almost always very close to the mark.
