Chapter 2918: Chapter 2918: Work Hard (2)
Cao Junfei has no backing and relied solely on his own ability to reach his current position, so he would definitely weigh the pros and cons to protect his reputation.
The final result, naturally, was a fair handling of the matter.
Moreover, that boy Hei Dou has gone back, surely not to build connections with Cao Junfei, but likely as a warning, which should have a better effect.
In the matter of educating his son, Yang Ruxin only assisted, as Gu Qingheng had been explaining the contemporary situation and the court’s relationships to him since he was five, whether he understood or not. They would discuss for an hour before bedtime every day, telling him about the hidden guards around them, and even involving him in any news they received.
Therefore, that boy actually knows everything.
As expected, Cao Junfei’s handling of the problem was swift and truly impartial. He also included this matter in a memorial, without exaggerating or deliberately downplaying any confrontational aspects.
Emperor Xuanwen was evidently very pleased with Cao Junfei’s attitude and soon sent a message appointing Cao Junfei to temporarily take charge of the duties at the County Governor’s Office in Quanzhou City.
Yang Ruxin was not concerned about how those matters were handled; she was currently preoccupied with visiting farms. Having previously bought only one, she now acquired two more, as well as two Tea Mountains.
There was still no news from West Mountain, and the Saint Lord seemed to have completely vanished.
Since there was no target for the time being, Yang Ruxin and Gu Qingheng were preparing to return, as they couldn’t stay outside indefinitely.
The Du Family, though reluctant to let them go, knew they couldn’t make them stay, so they held a grand farewell banquet for them.
"Madam, there is a person with the surname Sun seeking to see you outside." A servant came to report while they were eating.
"With the surname Sun?" Ye Family looked at Yang Ruxin, "Madam, is it the person you saved?"
"It should be." Yang Ruxin smiled.
At this point, Du Chengxiu had already instructed a servant to lead the visitor inside.
It was indeed Sun Si, accompanied by his daughter Sun Xiaohua.
As soon as they entered, they knelt and kowtowed three loud knocks, leaving everyone stunned.
"Thank you, madam." After finishing the kowtows, Sun Si got up with a smile, "Otherwise, my daughter Hua would probably only have a death sentence."
"Even if it weren’t you, I wouldn’t have ignored it." Yang Ruxin raised her hand, "Stand up and speak."
Sun Si stood up and handed over the basket beside him, "These are loquats from the tree in our backyard, they’re very sweet."
Yang Ruxin nodded and let Yang Mingxuan accept them.
"Madam, I made these insoles." Sun Xiaohua bashfully lowered her head and offered a small bundle, "They’re not well-made, please don’t dislike them, madam." She had stayed up late the previous night to make four pairs of insoles as a gesture of gratitude.
Yang Ruxin took and opened it: "Very beautiful."
Sun Xiaohua blushed.
"The Du Family has an Embroidery Village, seeing Xiaohua’s good needlework, I wonder if she would be willing...," Du Juan began.
"Du Juan, isn’t Anxin Hall short-staffed?" Yang Ruxin interrupted Du Juan with a smile, "If Xiaohua and her father are willing, they can go there to help."
Du Juan was momentarily taken aback, then smiled: "But the work there can be a bit tiring, I wonder if Uncle Sun is willing?"
Sun Xiaohua hurriedly looked at her father.
"We are willing." Sun Si nodded quickly: "We will work diligently." Anxin Hall was a place that did good deeds, and they were indeed very willing.
