Yang Ruqing and Luofeng Tang were in the carriage at the front with Xiu Xiu, while Yang Yijin and Cao Baimei drove the one behind. They chatted and communicated along the way.

Upon arriving in the county town, Yang Yongjin had told Cao Baimei everything that had happened recently.

Even the incident last night with Chen Jinhong was mentioned.

Upon hearing Cao Baimei's accusations, Chen Jin hong was both shocked and enraged. She angrily rebuked Cao Baimei along the way.

“You rushed back to find me and Xiuxiu, what for?” Cao Baimei asked Yang Yongjin at last.

Yang Yongjin said, "I'm scared. I'm afraid to do anything without you and Xiu Xiu around."

>

“Afraid?”

Caobaimei couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

"Looking at your husband's burly physique, "You're a big man, how come you act like a woman?"

Yang Yongjin said, “It’s not the kind of fear that comes from being afraid of the dark or mice, it’s... a kind of fear that can’t be described.”

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

...I'm afraid of losing you, afraid of losing my daughter, afraid of losing this feeling of stability and security...

Yang Yongjin looked at Cao Bamei and said: "On the way back last night, I went over everything that happened recently. All of this was a conspiracy by Chen Jinhong."

>

"This woman is terrifying."

"The youngest brother was completely under her thumb. He used to work his fingers to the bone selling hard-earned money on the docks just to spend it for her, and now he opened a carpentry workshop and let her be the boss lady."

>

"She was restless and probably caused her third brother a lot of trouble."

"I came back just to discuss with you, what should we do next?" Yang Yongjin said.

After pondering for a while, Caobamei shook her head.

“This woman is too cunning for me. I can’t outsmart her.”

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

"To be honest, when we get to the county town later, I think we should be upfront with Qing'er and Tang Ya'zi too. Let them help us come up with a plan."

“This matter jeopardizes the reputation of our old Yang family. Qing'er and Tang Ya are our own people, and Qing'er has always been the most thoughtful and sincere to us. Asking her is definitely right!”

In the afternoon, two carriages arrived smoothly at Tianxiang Building.

“They are coming back tomorrow, and I’m looking forward to them returning to work soon. It's really too quiet here, and I'm not quite used to it.”

Walking into the empty hall, Yang Ruqing couldn't help but say.

Yang Yongjin followed behind, helping to carry things.

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

Upon hearing this, I smiled.

>

“You still didn’t come over last night, otherwise, it would be so lonely I could cry.” He said.

Yang Ruqing curled her lips and glanced at Cao Baimei and Xiuxiu. She said to Yang Yongjin without any politeness, "That's what you deserve. No one feels sorry for you. Baimei, right?"

Cao Baimei smiled awkwardly, before she could speak, Xioxiu, who was being led by her, said in a sweet, childish voice: "Yes, Daddy deserved it."

In a word, it made several adults burst into laughter.

Cao Baimei glared at Yang Yongjin and said, "Children are the least likely to lie. Did you hear what your daughter said? Is there any reason?"

Yang Yongjin quickly nodded: "Yes, yes, you're right, I deserve it, hehe..."

Cao Baimei said, "Alright, let's pack up first, and then cook dinner."

Yang Ruqing said, "The fire will be turned off at night for the cold stove. We'll just go to the night market together and eat something later. When we get back, we can boil water for a bath."

Cao Baimei nodded: "Good." Please note that the content you provided was already in English. I've just removed the extra "<" and ">" characters.

A few people tidied up, went for a stroll, grabbed some food, and then returned to the wine shop.

Caobaimei said, “Qinger, let me tell you something.”

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

Yang Ruqing understood. She gave Luofengtang a look, and Luofengtang said: "Then I'll go chat with the second brother."

In the house.

Cao Baimei put Xiuxi on the bed and let her go to sleep.

Yang Ruqing leaned over to the bed and said with a smile, "This little guy has to make sure she's really asleep before we can chat. Otherwise, she might pretend to sleep and eavesdrop."

Cao Baimei pursed her lips and smiled, "Hmm."

Once she confirmed the little one was truly asleep, Caobaimei lowered the curtain and led Yang Ruqing to the outer room.

“Qing'er, on the way here today, your older brother told me the whole truth. My goodness, no wonder he wouldn't tell me about that patch, he was clenching his teeth so tightly.”

"Let me tell you, you absolutely can't imagine it."

>

As soon as Cao Baimei sat down, she eagerly grabbed Yang Ruoqing's hand and said to her.

Yang Ruoqing widened her eyes, "Speak quickly!"

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

Cao Bamie thought for a moment, as if she was drawing out a clue, and then began to speak.

“Wasn't Chen Jinhong previously the epitome of virtuous and graceful conduct? Didn't she even shield your second brother from harm?”

“It was because of those things that your second brother changed his view of the two of them, to the extent that when Chen Jinhong fell ill, your second brother even urged me to send porridge.”

"Later, they wanted to open a carpentry workshop, and your second brother immediately lent them twenty taels of silver."

“By this time, my husband and I were very close to you and your brother and his wife, weren't we?” she asked.

Yang Ruqing nodded: "Yes, brothers are friendly to each other, sisters-in-law get along well, at least on the surface."

Cao Baimei also nodded: "Just recently, your three older brothers got into something, a big deal."

"What's the big deal?" Yang Ruqing asked.

Cao Bamai lowered her voice and said, "Your third brother, what do you think he looks like?"

“Huh?” Yang Ruqing was surprised. “Third brother, your appearance is indeed good-looking. However, I think compared to the men in Lao Yang’s family, your appearance is a bit more feminine and not so masculine.”

Cao Baimei said: “That’s right, I think so too. Not only do we think so, but some men with bad intentions outside probably think so too.”

"What?" Yang Ruqing's eyes widened.

"Eight Sister, what do you mean? Speak plainly!" she said.

Cao Bajie said, "Your third brother, one day took on a job, and it was a rather large one."

That day he went to the home of that big client. That big client, on the surface, was an old official. In reality, he was an old eunuch who had come out from the palace.

"The old eunuch has a rather nasty sense of humor, he took a liking to your third brother at first glance."

“Then what happened later, you understand. The old eunuch wanted to molest your third brother, and your second brother just happened to arrive and rescued your third brother.”

Because your third older brother's clothes had been torn so badly that they could no longer cover him, your second older brother took off his own outer garment to cover him and brought him home.

Then your second brother's clothes stayed with your third brother, and when they came back, Chen Jinhong took the opportunity to patch them up.

"So your second brother wouldn't dare tell me about the patch's origin, and he won't admit that Chen Jinhong sewed it, just because he's afraid of bringing up your third brother's affair." Cao Baimei said.

Yang Ruqing said, "As a man, being molested by an old eunuch, he must have psychological shadows."

"Second brother is protecting the third brother, so he can only make do with you like this. Understandable."

>

She said, changing the subject, "Now that Second Brother has confessed everything, it seems you two have made up?"
