When Su Ruojin found Yang Si Niang, she was practicing sword in the yard, working hard and seriously, as if she was going to take the martial arts exam. She thought so and couldn't help but joked, "Arong, isn't it?"
When Yang Si Niang saw her former best friend, all the fear and anxiety hidden in her heart came out. She threw away her sword and ran over to hug her, "Ajin..." She couldn't help but burst into tears.
Su Ruojin felt sad too, tears welling up in her eyes. She patted her back to comfort her, "It's okay... It's okay. Everything is over."
Yang Si Niang couldn't stop crying. Ning Qilang picked up the sword, invited Zhao Lan to come in and sit down, and gave the space to the two young ladies.
The two of them went into the house and sat down. Ning Qilang couldn't help but remind him, "Zi Jin, didn't I ask you to..." Don't tell Su Er Niang for the time being. Why did you bring someone here again?
"Mrs. Su urged Ajin to go back because she was worried about her former neighbor."
Ning Qilang frowned: "Su Erniang wants to take Arong away?"
Zhao Lan glanced at him, that was what he meant.
"I..." Thinking of the gap between the two of them, Ning Qilang pursed his lips.
Seeing that he hadn't made his decision yet, Zhao Lan smiled lightly and drank his tea nonchalantly. Whatever he wanted to do was Ning Qilang's business and it had nothing to do with him.
Outside, Su Ruojin pulled Yang Si Niang to sit at the small table under the shade of the tree. The two sat close together. Yang Si Niang finally calmed down and took several deep breaths before she had the courage to ask, "Ajin, did you know that my father was from Liaoxia?"
Su Ruojin nodded.
"But... he is obviously a member of the Yang family..." Yang Birong still couldn't figure out many doubts. Of course, it was not her fault as a young lady in the boudoir couldn't figure it out. Who would have thought that one person could take over another person's identity and live?
"The real Yang Jingzi was killed before his marriage, and his identity was replaced by Liaoxia spy Gou Chunwen. He then married the concubine daughter of Duke Zheng, your mother. On the surface, he and your mother did not have a good relationship, but the marriage was real. Through his identity as the concubine son-in-law of Duke Zheng's mansion, he started from a low-level official and won the hearts of many people to work for him."
"All... no matter if it was the former crown prince or the late emperor, it was really him..." who killed them?
Su Ruojin nodded again.
For a moment, Yang Si Niang was shaking all over, fidgeting, and she stood up, muttering to herself, "Why...why...did you give birth to us?"
"To conceal our tracks."
Yang Si Niang suddenly looked at Su Ruojin: ...
Seeing the young lady's hopeless look, Su Ruojin hurried forward to hug him, "No matter who he is, you are innocent, and his sin should not be borne by you."
"Ajin, you won't look down on me? You won't hate me?"
Su Ruojin smiled and shook her head, "He cleverly deceived everyone in the world. Should everyone who was deceived by him be hated? Then as a former neighbor, should I also be hated?"
"No...no...Ajin, you are different from me..."
"No, it's the same. We were all tricked by bad people." Su Ruojin said to her solemnly, "Arong, no one can choose how to be born, but we can choose how to live. The Gou guy is dead. From now on, you don't have to worry about anything anymore. Live your life in peace and peace."
Yang Si Niang took this sentence to heart: "No one can choose how they are born, but we can choose how to live." "Is this really possible?"
"Can."
Yang Si Niang stared at Su Ruojin in a daze and didn't speak for a long time.
Su Ruojin was afraid that she would be upset, so she hugged her again and comforted her. In the end, she said, "Arong, I want to go back to Weizhou. Do you want to go with me?"
"Go." She replied without thinking, and even stood up immediately to pack her things. After taking a few steps, she stopped and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Su Ruojin thought that she couldn't bear to part with Ning Qilang, and it was true. Which young lady didn't like such a handsome and mighty young general? Not to mention ordinary young ladies, it was estimated that there was no young lady in the entire Bianjing City who didn't like him.
"You...want to stay?"
"No." Yang Si Niang replied simply.
"Then you are..."
Yang Si Niang turned around and walked to Su Ruojin, "Ajin, do you still remember my sister?"
"I remember, I remember." Aunt Yang was married in the capital. "But now... I heard from Brother Jin that Aunt Yang has changed her name, and your real identity is actually..." does not exist in this world.
Yang Si Niang sighed again, "Yes, but I can't bear to see my sister suffer so much."
Su Ruojin really didn't know how Aunt Yang was doing: "Then how do you want to help your sister?" If possible, she could lend a hand.
Yang Si Niang was silent for a long time before she raised her eyes. "That's good. I want my sister to leave the Tang family."
Su Ruojin understood as soon as she heard this. Because of Yang Jingzi's involvement, the Tang family had a hard time in Beijing. It was probably all blamed on Aunt Yang. One could imagine how hard Aunt Yang's life was.
"Did your sister mean that?"
Yang Si Niang shook her head. "My sister is only in her early twenties, but she looks like a woman in her thirties or forties. I'm afraid if this continues, my sister will..." be tortured to death.
If Aunt Yang wanted to divorce, Su Ruojin could help, but if the person concerned didn't want to, she would rather demolish a temple than ruin a marriage.
Seeing that Su Ruojin didn't say anything, Yang Siniang hugged her arm and said, "Ajin, help my sister."
Yang Si Niang's earnest eyes made Su Ruojin unable to refuse. She nodded and said, "I'll ask someone to find out about your sister's family situation."
"Thank you, Ajin." Yang Si Niang leaned close to her, as if Su Ruojin was her backer and her spiritual pillar at this moment.
The two chatted for a while and agreed that they would go back to Weizhou together after helping Aunt Yang. As for what Yang Si Niang's plans were after returning to Weizhou, Su Ruojin did not ask. Anyway, life would be good in the future without the Gou family.
At noon, the four of them had lunch together. After lunch, Zhao and Su left. Ning Qillang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Of course, he didn't know why he felt relieved.
Ning Qilang couldn't stay in the other courtyard with the young lady all day, so he told the maids, "Serve the young lady well. If she dares to neglect him, she will be sold immediately."
The old woman and the maid, a pair of homeless grandparents, finally found a place to stay, how could they not be attentive? They were so scared that they knelt down directly, "Don't worry, sir, this old slave and my granddaughter will definitely take care of the girl and make her plump and white, so you won't have to worry about it."
"Well, that's better." Ning Qilang waved his hand and let them go. He said with a warm face, "Arong, I'll come to see you tomorrow afternoon."
Everything from food to clothes belonged to the young master. Yang Si Niang nodded obediently, "If the young master is busy, it's okay if he doesn't come. Ah Rong will be obedient and will not go out. Just wait for the young master here."
Ning Qilang had a complicated look in his eyes. He hoped that the young lady would be so well-behaved, but he also felt that this well-behaved young lady was no longer the same young lady as before. He sighed helplessly and stroked her hand. "Don't practice sword too hard. You have calluses on your hands."
Yang Si Niang also touched her palm and found that she did have it, but she was holding back her energy and was determined to become as powerful as Ning Qi Lang. However, she did not show it on her face and nodded obediently, "I will listen to you, Master."
"Yes." Ning Qilang said in a low voice, "Wait for me."
Yang Si Niang didn't dare to look up at the young master's gentle eyes that could drown her. She lowered her head, her ears red.
Ning Qilang saw it with his sharp eyes, and suddenly felt very happy. He rubbed the young lady's hand vigorously and said again, "Wait for me." (End of this chapter)
