Chapter 4683: Pursuit
ver monkey spirit, I'm worried he'll run into a sly fox spirit and lose everything!"Yang Ruqing said.It's okay to lose everything, but the worst thing is to get infected with something and be finished..."It must have been something that happened last night. Did your sister-in-law tell you anything at all" Yang Ruohua asked Xiaoduo again.
Little Duo shook her head, "Sister-in-law seemed to want to tell me something, but then the wet nurse in the backyard seemed to be calling for her, so she had to go quickly. I didn't want to run into Grandma and Grandpa, so I hurried back as well."
Yang Ruqing frowned, "I'll go back to the old house and ask my sister-in-law about the situation."
As I just walked past the bridge, I saw several women gathered under the old maple tree, whispering to each other and giggling from time to time. Liu was among them.
Yang Ruqing glanced at the corner of her eye and quickly withdrew her gaze. This scene was nothing unusual. A few days ago, Aunt Four had diarrhea and couldn't get out of bed. Now that she was feeling better, she naturally came out to stroll around and catch up on the homework she owed from the previous days.

In the crowd, Liu also saw Yang Ruqing. Seeing her hurried steps and heading straight toward the old Yang family's ancestral home, Liu's eyes lit up.
Let me know if you'd like to translate something else!
She greeted a few women beside her, then hurried after Yang Ruqing, calling out, "Ruqing, wait for me!"
Yang Ruqing originally didn't want to pay attention to Liu Shi, but then she thought that Liu Shi was a gossip hub. Not only did she know everything about the Lao Yang family, but she also knew everything happening in the surrounding villages. She might even know the inside story of San Sao's visit back to her natal family.
Then, Yang Ruqing stopped and turned around, looking at Liu Shi who had run up to her with a normal expression: "Fourth Aunt, what is it you called me for"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Liu patted her chest and gasped, "Qinger, where are you going"
Yang Ruqing shifted her gaze and said, "I'm going to the old house to ask my third sister-in-law for two embroidery patterns."
Please note that I've only translated the text within the > tags. The HTML tags themselves remain unchanged as you requested.
Liu smiled and waved her hand, saying: "Don't go, it's pointless. She's not even in the house."
Yang Ruqing twitched the corner of her mouth, "How is that possible We agreed yesterday that it would let me come over at this time to pick it up. Auntie Si, are you teasing me"
Liu immediately got serious, raising two fingers and saying: "If I'm playing tricks on you, let my tongue be covered in sores! Your third sister-in-law took the two children back to her mother's house this morning and didn't tell your grandparents. Previously, your grandparents knew, and your grandfather was so angry that he broke two teacups in a row. I was so scared that I didn't dare to stay in the courtyard!"
"What's going on" Yang Ruqing asked again.
Liu said: "This matter, if you tell it, is actually related to you. If it weren't for you, your third sister-in-law wouldn't be so angry that she ran back to her parents' home."
Now, Yang Ruqing is truly baffled.
Seeing her like this, caught hook, line, and sinker, Liu Shi, who was always on the front lines of gossip, felt a deep sense of accomplishment.
She quickly pulled Yang Ruqing to the corner of the wall and vividly recounted everything that happened in the east room last night, not missing a single detail.
“Well, is what Aunt Four said true Isn't this matter related to you” Liu asked triumphantly at the end.
Yang Ruqing frowned and stood there, saying nothing. In her heart, she had to admit that this matter was indeed related to herself.
"Fourth Aunt, how long ago did Third Sister-in-law leave Did she walk out of the village or take someone's ride" Yang Ruocheng asked Liu again.
This time, Liu did not disappoint her again. She immediately answered: "To go to town, they sat on the oxcart of Master Yu Bao and his wife. They said that when they reached town, they would rent another carriage to go to the county!"
“I understand, Aunt Four. Thank you. I’m leaving now.” Yang Ruqing patted Liu’s shoulder and turned to run towards the village entrance.
Liu was still immersed in the shock and joy brought by Yang Ruqing's "thank you". When she came to her senses, Yang Ruqing had already run far away.
"The sun didn't rise from the west today, did it Even Qinyang thanked me That's really something! I'll tell them all later, they won't believe it!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Thinking of this, Liu could no longer hold back. She twisted her hips and ran towards the old maple tree...

Yang Ruqing ran back to the Sun family and briefly told them about Zhao Liuer.
Mrs. Sun's expression was complicated as she said, "I didn't expect Liu'er to be so righteous and brave enough to stand up for you and your father. But by doing so, she has completely offended your grandmother. When your third brother returns, your grandmother will definitely make a fuss, and things won't just end here!"
Yang Ruqing let out a cold snort, mentioning the Tan family and Old Yang's head. Her eyes were full of disdain.
“Those who rely on their age to bully others, cursing me behind my back, not caring about any familial ties. I'm utterly heartbroken by these two elders. From now on, I won't give them any favors. If anyone says I'm unfilial, then let them say it. I don't want to bear the name of a filial granddaughter just to endure this indignity.” she said.
Tan should be grateful that in her rage, she only cursed Yang Ruqing. If Tan dared to include Chen'er and the baby, Yang Ruqing guaranteed she would sew up the old woman's rotten mouth with a needle and thread!
“Don't worry, Mother. Third Brother won't really divorce Third Sister-in-law. He isn't that filial a person.” Xiaoduo quickly comforted Sun Shi.
"But Third Sister-in-law this time really surprised me, and I'm even more grateful to her. Big Sister-in-law and Fourth Uncle and Aunt didn't dare to stand up and defend her, Third Sister-in-law is truly admirable. I plan to get closer to Third Sister-in-law in the future." Little Do added.
Sun Shi nodded, seeing Yang Ruoqing change her shoes and walk towards the horse stable in the backyard, she couldn't help but ask: "Ruoqing, where are you going"
Yang Ruqing said, "My third sister-in-law is a woman with two children. She has to carry the clothes, shoes and socks for three of them, as well as diapers for the little girl, and travel such a long distance back to her hometown in the county. I'm not at ease, so I want to follow her for a while."
Yu Bao and his wife went to the town market. They would definitely take their three sisters-in-law to the carriage stand in the east of Qingshui Town later, letting them rent a carriage themselves to go to the county seat.
>The distance from the town to the county seat was forty or fifty miles, and along the way there were many mountainsides and forests. In the past, whenever she went back to her mother's house, her third brother always accompanied her. This time, it was just the three of them. Yang Ruoqing felt uneasy about letting them go alone.
Especially the third sister-in-law left in a huff, always worried about encountering those with ill intentions on her way and harassing her.
Little Hong'er is clever and playful, lively and energetic. Little NiaoNiao with her pink cheeks is so cute, I really can't bear to let her out of my sight.
Sun Shi was also not at ease, she quickly instructed Yang Ruqing: "Then if you ride a horse by yourself, be careful."

Yang Ruqing rode hard towards Qingshui Town, but she didn't see Zhao Liuer and the others along the way. So, she turned her horse around and headed to the bustling street of carriages and horses.
I met Jade Treasure and his wife halfway.
"Brother Yu Bao, where are my third sister-in-law and the others" Yang Ruoqing hurried over to ask.
Yubao smiled and said, "The three of them went back to their natal families in the county town. Before that, I rented a carriage for them at Chuma Xing (a place where carriages are rented), 200 wen to send them to the south gate of the county."
"How long have they been gone" Yang Ruqing asked again.
Yuba pondered for a moment and said, "About an incense stick's worth of time."
Yang Ruqing then inquired about the carriage and the coachman's appearance from Yu Bao. She mounted her horse again and pursued toward the county town.
All the way, her eyelids kept twitching. She also felt a strange restlessness in her heart, always feeling like something was going to happen. Anyway, she just looked very uneasy. Only by catching up with her third sister-in-law and little niece as soon as possible could she feel at ease.e back, both adults and children feel comfortable.Yang Ruqing clearly noticed that after Dazhi had been recuperating at home for a few days, the flush on his face had all returned.The doctor had warne...
