Chapter 4753: The Deal with the Chains

the back of the door with one leap and creaked open the fence gate.>The moon hung from the treetops, its bright light shining down. He could see clearly that a girl with a basket in her arms was stan...On the way back in the carriage, Cao Baimei asked Yang Ruoqing: "Ruoqing, did your aunt Mei entrust you to ask Zhang Ban about the academic performance of the twins at the academy"

Yang Ruqing nodded. "Yes, he especially entrusted me to ask carefully, especially about taking the imperial examinations."

Caobamei smiled a little strangely, "Zhangban spoke truthfully. So how will you answer Me'er Auntie when you go back"

When asked about this, Yang Ruqing glanced at Cao Baimei and raised her hand to rub her forehead. "Well, to be honest, I haven't spoken along the way. In fact, I've been racking my brains over this!"

"Eight Sister, you teach me, how should I answer Auntie Mei"

If you told Yang Huamei Zhang Ban's words directly, she would definitely be unhappy.

Everyone likes to hear good things. Zhang Ban's words were an objective evaluation of the Gemini from a gentleman's perspective, but this objective evaluation was definitely not something Meili Gu would like to hear. Yang Ruqing continued.

"Aunt Meier's greatest wish is for the twins to pass the imperial examination and become scholars. Even if we say that the twins don't do well in their studies, Aunt Meier wouldn't think they are not capable. Instead, she would blame the schoolmasters, thinking that it was because they hadn't taught them well. In fact, all the masters teach the same way. With thirty-five students in a classroom, some are bound to pass the exam and eventually become jinshi!"

“So, in the end, the problem still lies with our own children. Their intelligence may be inferior, and their diligence may not match others'. But many parents are unwilling to admit this fact. Oh, sir, it's a difficult situation for you!”

Hearing Yang Ruqing's complaint, Cao Baimei couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

“I’m so worried, you still have the heart to laugh. People say pregnancy makes a woman silly for three years, you truly are silly, heartless.”

Yang Ruqing rolled her eyes at Cao Bajie and said with a smile,

“Alright, alright, I won't laugh, I won't laugh.” Cao Baimei coughed lightly and quickly sat up straight.

"Qinger, if you really can't do it, just lie like your Aunt Meier!" Cao Baimei said.

“What are you talking about” Yang Ruqing raised an eyebrow. “Are you saying that Gemini is excellent in the academy, praised by the master and loved by his classmates Then he’s sure to pass the exam for a scholar”

Cao Baimei was covered in black lines.

“That’s certainly not the way to put it. You should just tell Aunt Meili, today there are too many people and things are chaotic. We didn't have time to ask Zhang Ban. Just let this matter pass!” Cao Baime said again.

Yang Ruqing shook her head. "This time it's been exposed, there will be another time later. I might as well tell Auntie that Zhang Ban doesn't lead a twin class and isn't clear about the twins' situation. However, I do know that Gemini likes to buy things. I still have to inform Auntie Mei about this, to see if she approved of it, or if Gemini took money from home privately, or some other situation!"

"Could there be any other circumstances Gemini shouldn't have the guts to steal money," Cao Eight Sister said.

Yang Ruqing said: "It's not about worrying that they will steal money, but about our grandparents. They like to secretly slip money to the twins. In their eyes, this is the best way to show love to their grandsons. However, they don't know that the twins are only eleven years old and have no control over money at all."

When you have no money, you study diligently. When you have some money, you tend to spend it recklessly and develop a lavish lifestyle. This is not good for children.

“Baimei, I want to go to the tavern to speak with Chef Zhou about something. Are you going with Mother and the others in the carriage, or will you come with me to the tavern” Yang Ruqing suddenly asked.

Cao Baimei said, "I'm going to chat with my aunts. You go to the restaurant yourself."

Thus, Yang Ruqing rode her carriage alone to the tavern, while the others returned directly to Changping Village.

After finishing his business with Chef Zhou at the restaurant, Yang Ruocheng knew the sun was about to set. He didn't waste any more time and headed straight for Changping Village.

Just as they were about to reach the southern exit of town, a drunk man was thrown out of a nearby tavern.

If it was just thrown onto the road, in front of Yang Ruqing's carriage, and she wasn't skillfully driving the carriage, that drunk man would definitely be run over.

“Alas!”

She didn't drive around, but stopped the carriage and looked down at the drunk lying on the ground, still muttering curses, her eyes narrowed with amusement.

“You... but you're the Lock of Sìshān'ao” asked Yang Ruqing.

The matchmaker, Cui'er, had previously sought out a husband for her, and the man from Sishan Ao is that groom.

>Suizi's leg was broken while she was helping Cuier's family with chores. Cuier's family escorted Suizi down the mountain to the town for treatment. On their way back, Cuier and Jin Nan got together and kicked Suizi out of their group…

The drunkard on the ground stopped his cursing. He struggled to his feet, swaying precariously towards the carriage.

Looking at the woman in the carriage, her face cold and aloof, a glimmer of infatuation appeared in the drunkard's eyes.

Such a beautiful young lady, it would be wonderful if she were to become his wife.

The preposterous notion vanished in an instant, for a lash had struck him.

His cheeks, shoulders, and arms, nearly half his body, were burning with pain.

"Suzi, has the alcohol worn off" Yang Ruqing asked.

“I…” He had just uttered a syllable when the whip lashed out again. He instinctively raised his arms to protect his face, but the whip wrapped around his waist.

A tremendous force struck him, sending him spinning. When he came to his senses, he found himself bound and lying face down on a carriage.

"Giddy up!"

The carriage raced once more, galloping away from the town...

"Plop!"

Water splashes everywhere!

Another 'poof' sound, and water splashed onto Yang Ruqing's face again.

Yang Ruoqing remained unfazed. Like pushing a ball underwater, she repeatedly pressed the lock in the water for five or six times before finally pulling out the soggy lock and tossing it onto the withered grass by the shore.

The lock was gasping for breath, with water coming out of his mouth, nose, and ears.

“Luo, Mrs. Luo, please have mercy…” He coughed and pleaded with Yang Ruoheng while lying on the ground.

Yang Ruqing leaned down, her lips curling into a sneer: "Suo Zi, since you're sober, let's make a deal. About your former fiancée, Cui'er…"

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

When Yang Ruqing returned to the village, it was already dusk.

"Qinger, what are you doing If you don't come back soon, your father will have to go back to town to look for you again."

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

Sun stood at the doorway of the courtyard, peering out. Upon seeing Yang Ruqing return, the woman let out a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but scold her gently.

Yang Ruqing jumped out of the carriage and giggled, "Sister Ba didn't tell you I went to chat with Chef Zhou about the restaurant for a while, so it was delayed for a bit. Father and Mother don't worry."

Sun said, "How could I not be worried You're a woman alone, oh right, your aunt Mei has come over twice this afternoon inquiring when you'll be back, I don't know what she's up to."
