Shu Luo felt his self-control was amazing—he hadn’t even lifted a hand, just used his Qinggong to get away from that woman. Damn, the women in this village were terrifying.
Yang Baihe had planned to lower her eyes and wait for the other party to happily agree after she finished speaking, but the result was...
Where’d he go?
"Aluo..." Yang Baihe’s voice drifted over from far away.
Shu Luo had just landed and almost stumbled flat on the ground; he could only take off and run back home.
The Yang Family was just setting out dinner at this time.
"What’s wrong with you? Got chased by a dog?" Sanni gave Shu Luo a disdainful once-over.
"Don’t mention it, what was chasing me is scarier than a dog." Shu Luo patted his chest.
"Oh? I’ll go tell Jiaya right now that you said she’s scarier than a dog." Sanni instantly put her hands on her hips and pointed at Shu Luo to accuse him.
"Little Mengmeng, don’t slander me." Shu Luo hurriedly waved his hands. "I walked Jiaya home, and on the way back I ran into someone—scared me half to death."
"Who?" Sanni was immediately interested.
"No need to ask, she’s already chased over." Yang Ruxin laughed gloatingly. "Aluo, congratulations, you’ve actually caught my little aunt’s eye."
At this moment, everyone also heard the sounds ing from outside, and their expressions all turned wonderfully colorful.
"Sister-in-law, you’ve got to help me." Shu Luo’s face was bitter. "Just now she suddenly jumped out, said she fancied me and told me to e propose. I was so scared my legs went weak."
"Hahaha..." Sanni laughed unsympathetically. "If you marry my little aunt, how are we supposed to sort out the generations between us?"
"Mengmeng!" Yang Ruxin glared at Sanni.
Sanni rubbed her nose and reined in her smile, but her face was obviously full of schadenfreude.
"You’ve been hanging around the village a lot these past few months, haven’t you?" Yang Ruxin looked at Shu Luo.
"You all weren’t around, of course I could only wander the village." Shu Luo rubbed his nose. "Your workshops, your manors, your fields—which one wasn’t I here guarding?"
"Alright, you’ve worked hard." Yang Ruxin stood up as she spoke. "To repay you, I’ll go and nip this rotten peach blossom for you right now."
Yang Baihe didn’t know Yang Ruxin had e back. She thought only Shu Luo was living here, so she ran straight to the gate. Even if she couldn’t go in, she could still talk to the man she liked at the door, right?
But just as she stepped onto the threshold, the courtyard door creaked open.
"Yang Baihe, forgotten my warning already?" Yang Ruxin came out with a half-smile, a whip dangling from her hand.
Yang Baihe jumped in fright and stepped back, forgetting there were steps behind her. She went straight down, landing on her backside and sitting there for a long moment before she came to: "Yang Dani, how e you’re back?"
"This is my home. I still need to report to you when I e back?" Yang Ruxin took a step forward and snapped the whip with a crack.
"No, I..." Yang Baihe swallowed. "I just came over to check on Sister-in-law and Sandou, that’s all."
"Came to see my mom? See my kids?" Yang Ruxin walked down off the... "eunuch," and stopped right in front of Yang Baihe. "Then how e I heard you calling Shu Luo’s name?"
"I-I didn’t."
"Yang Baihe, you’re not actually stupid." Yang Ruxin squatted down. "But do you really not know what kind of person you are? You really want to keep carrying on like this?"
Yang Baihe opened her mouth.
"You probably won’t listen anyway, so do as you like. But remember this: the people in my family, you’d better not set your sights on them. Otherwise I’ll throw you into the mountains as dinner for the beasts. Don’t believe me? Go ahead and try." Yang Ruxin finished speaking, turned around, and went back inside.
