Chapter 3970: Luck
into the dust were very unfortunate people in this world.If given a choice, who would want to spend their youth catering to men of all kinds Living day by day, gauging people's facesAnd, in this ancie..."Dou Kou, you don't know this Yang Ruoqing. Her relationship with your cousin is unusual. Your cousin treats her differently from others, and there's a reason for that," the woman said.
Liu Doukou was suddenly startled by this, she quickly sat up straight, "Mother, what's the reason Tell me!"

The woman glanced at the door to her room. It was tightly shut. She then pricked up her ears and listened, making sure there was no movement in the western room next door before she lowered the shutter and whispered to Liu Dou蔻, telling her about old stories of Mu Zichuan and Yang Ruohuang when they were still children.
"…They were childhood sweethearts. Your uncle promised Yang Ruqing's father when he was born that they would be together."
“After your uncle died, your aunt disliked Yang Ruqing for being a simpleton. Every time she went back to her parents’ house and told us about this, it was her biggest headache.”
“That silly girl insisted on clinging to your cousin. Your cousin was totally focused on studying back then and she bothered him to the point of exasperation,”
“Otherwise, your aunt wouldn't have gotten your father to paint some money and bribe officials to get your cousin into the town academy.”
Upon hearing her wife's words, Liu Doukou suddenly realized and a jealous fire ignited in her eyes.
"They're so cunning! They secretly made an agreement years ago and both kept it hidden from me. They acted so innocent in front of me every day, pretending to be like siblings. It's such a deception!" Liu Doukou felt indignant and upset.
But her mother calmly said, "Actually, they weren't intentionally trying to hide it from you. These things aren't really worth mentioning; they are just trivial matters."
Besides, Yang Ruqing is now already the daughter-in-law of the Luo family. Her husband, Luo Fengtang, is a renowned national general, not inferior to your cousin in any way.
"Your cousin is a treasure in your eyes, but he doesn't care about you. You silly girl, it's really not worth it to compete with Yang Ruqing." The woman said again.
Liu Doukou frowned and said, "I didn't mean to compete with her. I was just shocked that she had such good fortune and was once betrothed to my cousin!"
"By the way, Mother, how did they break their engagement" she asked.
The woman said, "Of course it was your aunt who removed it."
"My cousin agreed" Liu Doukou asked again.
The woman nodded, "That's what your cousin meant too."
"Well then, why do I see that my cousin isn't disgusted by Yang Ruohua now Instead, his eyes are gentle and kind, even with a touch of tenderness" Liu Doukou asked again.
The woman laughed, “You’re seeing things. You’ve got too much to think about. If your cousin really liked her, they would be married already.”
"Besides, we were all just children back then and didn't know any better. Now that we're grown up, your aunt has taken Yang Ruqing as her adopted daughter. As siblings by adoption, it wouldn't hurt to be a little closer. There are still rules of etiquette and ancestral customs separating us, after all. Your cousin is a scholar and an official in the imperial court; he naturally understands these principles."
"So, you don't have to make enemies for yourself. Yang Ruohua is the wife of a national hero and has children. She naturally wouldn't do anything with your cousin."

"As for you, just hold onto your cousin tight, win her affection, make her like you, and let your aunt become even more reliant on you. Then this marriage will naturally come to pass."
"When you're officially married to your cousin, and you have children, dealing with everyday necessities like rice, oil, salt, and firewood...that's when the love between you will naturally grow stronger."
By then, your cousin will naturally know who is closest and most trustworthy to him, that's his daughter's mother, that's you!
The woman held Liu Doukou's hand and instructed her earnestly.
Liu Doukou's face was flushed with shyness, but a heavy sense of responsibility surged within her.
"Mother said she understands, but sometimes I see them two talking together. My cousin even makes excuses to send me away,"
“I just feel like an outsider, I can't really get in,” she muttered, still a little uneasy.
The woman smiled and said, "Silly girl, wanting to win a man's heart isn't something that happens overnight. It's like those farmers who grow rice; you have to be patient, enduring, and willing to give."
“After a long time, you will naturally get what you want. Don't worry, being impatient won't get anything done!”
Yang Ruqing couldn't believe that she, a 25-year-old housewife and mother of two nine-year-old children, was considered a rival in love by Liu Doukòu! She thought to herself how could this be She was already considered an older woman in this day and age.
If Yang Ruqing had a pair of eyes that could see everything and ears that could hear everything, she would probably laugh until her sides hurt.
At this moment, most of her thoughts were on chasing Yun.
Before going to sleep at night, I still have to make a midnight snack for Zhuoyun to replenish its energy, and then change its medicine.
Because Yang Ruqing knew that her mother-in-law's older sister would be staying at the old Mu family for a few days, she didn't visit her mother-in-law these past few days.
There are enough people over there, so it's fine if she doesn't go for now. Besides, since the Mù family has arrived, it's best to let her sisters-in-law, mothers, and daughters have a good chat amongst themselves!
These days, she went up the mountain with the medicine-gathering team every day during the day to collect herbs.
She opened her own herb garden in the mountains, with dedicated people taking care of it. Every year during this season, it's the busy harvesting season.

Many commonly used medicines are cultivated in Yang Ruqing's medicine garden. This means the medicinal herbs team doesn't have to search all over the mountains and fields for them.
But today, Yang Ruoheng followed the medicinal herb gathering team into the mountains. After arriving at the first stop, Yaoyuanzi, she distributed tasks to everyone as usual.
Then, she informed the second son of Mr. Fu's family, who was also in charge of this medicinal herb garden, and after that, she slung her medicine basket on her back, took a hatchet and a bamboo stick, with a string hanging from her waist, and went alone deeper into the mountains.
These days, at night, she has been going through medical books.
In one of the medical books compiled by a renowned physician from a past dynasty, I found a passage describing symptoms that are seven out of ten similar to my stepmother's illness.
She also mentioned about herbal medicine, Yang Ruqing remembered those medicinal herbs and wanted to try her luck.
When Grandma was ill, she couldn't help her at all and couldn't alleviate Grandma's suffering. This is the regret of her life.
Every time I think about it, I can't help but feel remorse and sadness.

Even after Ga Po's passing, she, unwilling to accept it, still used her connections to search for those medical books.
The book in my hand, sent by Zuo Junmo, is a rare copy.
So, Yang Ruqing decided to try her luck!
Some of the herbs listed in this prescription are extremely rare, and none can be found in the herb garden. Therefore, Yang Ruqing plans to venture deeper into the mountains to find them.
>>Many miles of the Mianniu Mountain range stretches before you, peak after peak, some reaching so high it seems they touch the sky. The valleys are perpetually shrouded in mist and clouds, like a fairyland on Earth, almost deserted by humans.
Yang Ruqing planned to go to those places because the more obscure the medicinal herbs, the more particular their preferences and growing locations were.
