Hearing Yang Ruqing's words, Cuixi hurriedly stopped her, she was a little anxious and embarrassed, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. These past few years, I've been holding it in and no one wants to listen to me."

"Well, I was getting sidetracked there." she said.

Yang Ruqing pursed her lips. This kind of experience, she hadn't gone through it, but this feeling, she could understand.

“Go on, and make it quick,” Yang Ruqing added.

Cui Xi glanced around, making sure that Lao Mo and the others were still asleep. She then leaned in close to Yang Ruohua and whispered: "Little Tang brother, I just want to ask you, how old are you? Are you married yet?"

Yang Ruqing was taken aback and didn't know why Cuixi asked that.

“I’m twenty and I haven’t married a wife yet,” she said.

A glimmer flashed in Cuixi's dim eyes.

“Little Tang brother, what do you think of me?” she asked.

"Huh?" Yang Ruqing was taken aback, even more confused than before.

Cuixi raised her hand to smooth down her messy hair, then tugged at the wrinkled clothes on her body.

"Don't judge me by my looks, I'm actually starving. Just give me a few good meals to nourish myself, and I'll be looking sharp again."

“I was a prized beauty in the Cao family back then, definitely prettier than Eighth Sister. Really, I’m not lying to you…” Cui Xi blurted out, then added sheepishly.

Yang Ruqing tugged at the corner of her mouth, "I think my second sister-in-law is very pleasing to the eye and has a good heart."

"Cuixi, if you don't have anything serious to say, I'm going back inside..."

>

Yang Ruqing turned to leave.

If you want to prove that you are good-looking, go prove it to Lao Mo. Besides, there's no need to denigrate your childhood friend Cao Babai just to prove how good-looking you are?

The original sympathy suddenly turned into a few points of annoyance.

Cuixi chased up, spreading her arms to block Yang Ruqing's path.

"What are you doing again?" Yang Ruqing narrowed her eyes.

Cui Xi said: "Little Tang brother, please, take me away from this hellish place."

"You take me away, I'll be your wife, I'll do laundry and cook for you, raise children... this child in my belly will have your last name, I'll recognize you as his father..."

"Pfft!"

Yang Ruqing could no longer hold back and laughed. Please note: The original text was empty. I have simply retained the HTML tag as instructed.

"I'm saying, Cui Xi, are you trying to make me the happy father and scapegoat here?"

"Sorry, I'm not interested and can't help you."

After saying that, Yang Ruoqing turned and walked toward the door of the room.

Cui Xi chased after her again. This time, the flattering smile on her face was gone, replaced by a ferocious expression.

"If you don't take me away from here, I'll tell everyone about you sneaking out last night!" she snarled.

Yang Ruqing was truly shocked.

This Cui Xi isn't a good person either.

Yang Ruqing's face didn't show any panic at all. She knew that even if she showed the slightest bit, Cuixi would seize it and use it as leverage to blackmail her.

"Cuixi, I told Damó that I have sleepwalking, and I like to run around at night and bite people. Otherwise, Damó wouldn't be scared to sleep in the hayloft."

"If you want to say it, then say it. When Lao Mo asks you later, why are you staring at other men?"

"Don't you know that the other men haven't come back at night? Are you really my wife?"

“Then I’ll beat you up, hahaha! Cui Xi, I’ve already thought of your ending, go tell them, hurry, hurry! This young master still needs to go back to the room for a nap.”

Yang Ruqing waved her hand and went back into the main room without looking back.

Leaving Cui Xi standing there, her face twisted with anger.

After a night of tossing and turning, Yang Ruqing still couldn't fall asleep when she finally lay down on her bed.

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

The first half of the house and the backyard, the snoring of the three Lao Mo brothers was like thunder, rising and falling.

>

Yang Ruqing's mind was filled with Cui Xi's affairs and her words just now.

The unfortunate are often hateful. In Cuixi's case, this saying is once again proven true.

Saying that she was deceived by her father into marrying in Sishan Valley, to put it plainly, wasn't she blinded by the prestige of being the head wife in Sishan Valley? It was just vanity.

Of course, women want to marry a good man and make their lives better.

So, the desire for vanity can sometimes be understood.

However, after arriving at Sishān'ao, Cui Xi found that the reality differed greatly from her expectations. This caused a significant imbalance in her mental state.

Over the past few years, he's probably not been thinking much about how to manage a household or take care of his family.

Look at the food they made, they didn't even put any effort into it.

Look at this house, both inside and out, it's filthy. The bedding on the big mill looks like it hasn't been washed or aired out in months.

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

A elder sister-in-law is like a mother.

This Cui Xi must have done quite a few outlandish things. Today, she dares to sneakily beg Yang Ruqing to take her away and even offers to be her daughter-in-law...

Well, something similar probably happened before too.

Every time Lao Mo was angered, his already bad temper would worsen. With Cui Xi's restlessness, Lao Mo would likely become even more brutal towards her.

Marital relations, evil deeds cycle endlessly...

>

Lost in thought, I fell asleep without realizing it.

>A knock on the door jolted Yang Ruohua awake.

"Here I come!"

She walked over, opened the door, and saw the big mill standing at the doorway.

"Little Tang, brother, it's time for breakfast," said Big Grinding.

Yang Ruqing nodded and followed Damo into the main hall.

Lao Mo and Xiao Mo were already sitting opposite each other in their places. Cui Xi stood at the corner of the table, with a wooden expression.

He stiffly dumped the potatoes from the steamer onto the table.

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

Then he returned to the kitchen. As he turned, his eyes caught sight of Yang Ruohua.

　　It's chilling, filled with resentment and hatred.

Yang Ruqing frowned secretly, she didn't do anything, why did she get into trouble with Cui Xi?

>

I don't understand!

Holding a slightly hot potato, I peeled off its skin bit by bit.

At that moment, the sound of the old mill arose from beside the table.

"Starting from the bamboo grove at the village entrance, head south and climb over two mountain ridges. You'll arrive in a valley. On your right hand side of the valley, there is a stand of cypress trees. Walk forward for three miles from the edge of that cypress grove, and you'll reach a canyon."

"Follow the riverbed eastward along the canyon, and where it forks, that's Sunjia Gulch."

Lao Mo finished speaking to himself, pinched the potatoes in his hand and stuffed them into his mouth. He ate large bites, without looking at Yang Ruqing once throughout.

Yang Ruqing, however, looked up at the old mill with a bewildered expression.

Is this... Amap?

Good heavens, this way of explaining things is useless unless you're as naive as a villager from the mountains. It's like saying nothing at all – you still won't find anything.

Speaking of which, Yang Ruqing will be at Sunjiagou if you go there from Changping Village.

But going over from Sishan'ao, just based on Lao Mo's words, Yang Ruohua was now completely overwhelmed.

Besides, she never intended to go back to Sunjiagou. Hehe, her purpose was to find a reason to stay in Sishan'ao for the time being, so as to supervise Tuoba Ling up close...
