Chapter 2697: Chapter 2697: Sincerity Matters (5)
Yang Baihe stared at the closed door for a long time without reacting, not knowing what she was thinking. It wasn’t until a gust of night wind blew in, carrying the faint sound of wolf howls, that Miss Baihe shivered, stood up, patted her bottom, and turned to run away.
Whether she took the advice to reform herself or continued her antics, others did not know.
The days passed by smoothly.
Since returning, Yang Ruxin rested for a day and then got busy.
Currently, she has three workshops: a furniture workshop, a shrimp paste workshop, and a medicinal wine and tea workshop, as well as several shops and estates under her management. Although others are managing them, she cannot ignore them, so after checking a round of the account books and personally inspecting each, ten days have gone by.
During these days, Gu Qingheng has been with her all along, feeling for her hardships, taking on whatever he could to ease her burden.
Suddenly, it was March, and the weather had thoroughly warmed up. People swapped their heavy winter clothes for spring attire.
Shu Jingzhi and his wife visited together.
"Xinxin, I had only heard from your uncle and that young rascal that your place is wonderful, and I didn’t quite believe it. Seeing it now, it’s even better than they described. No wonder Father came and didn’t want to leave," said the second aunt Shu Niushi, genuinely admiring after touring several small buildings, "I feel like living here too."
"You are welcome to stay anytime," Yang Ruxin said with a smile, taking Shu Niushi’s arm, "I’ll keep a building for you."
"That’s settled then," Shu Niushi said, patting Yang Ruxin’s hand, "Later, I’ll have your uncle give you the Silver, can’t refuse."
"Alright." Yang Ruxin nodded with a smile.
"Xinxin, what do you think of that girl from the Li family?" Shu Niushi asked, still holding onto Yang Ruxin after touring the house, "Although we don’t insist on a perfect match, she should at least be knowledgeable and sensible, right?"
"Second Aunt," Yang Ruxin smiled, "Although Jiaya might not fully meet your expectations of being knowledgeable and sensible, she is genuinely sincere."
Shu Niushi paused for a moment, "I understand what you mean." After another moment, she continued, "Jiarong may have some little thoughts, but she’s clear-headed at critical moments—knows when to advance or retreat—and she has a good relationship with Azhe. The second household with them supporting it won’t be lacking in the future. So, for Aluo, I hope he finds a wife without too much scheming, someone who can live harmoniously with him. Anyway, the Shu family won’t let them down."
"Second Aunt, don’t worry." Yang Ruxin reassured, patting Shu Niushi’s shoulder, "Jiaya won’t disappoint you."
"That’s good." Shu Niushi felt more relieved, "I’ll go discuss with your uncle which day would be ideal for a visit."
Li Yi and Leng Cuicui naturally knew that the Shu family had arrived. Leng Cuicui may only know that the Shu family is Gu Qingheng’s maternal family and quite wealthy, but Li Yi knows the weight of Shu Xing—he is a renowned intellectual and the Emperor’s tutor, respected by all scholars in the land. Hence, he was more nervous than anyone else.
Li Jiaya was quite nervous before Shu Luo’s parents arrived, but on the actual day of the meeting, she was calm instead. Sister Xinxin was right—she is who she is and cannot become someone else. Therefore, as long as she remains her true self, the rest will depend on fate.
