Chapter 1760: Chapter 1760: Opportunity (1)
After leaving the shop, Yang Ruxin finally took a breath. The pressure inside the room just now was really low, making her very uncomfortable. But no matter what, she had said what needed to be said. Whether or not she offended anyone, she didn’t care anymore. She was already prepared for confrontation.
In fact, even if she hadn’t said those offensive words, the Crown Prince and King Yun were already at odds, and today was just the right opportunity.
However, dealing with these people was really exhausting. She missed the village, missed those loud-speaking villagers.
"Madam, where are we going?" Du Juan couldn’t help but ask, seeing Yang Ruxin a bit lost in thought.
"To the abandoned temple." Yang Ruxin snapped back to reality.
In the abandoned temple, a few children hadn’t gone begging. They thought they had already eaten buns and had been filled with hope since early morning, waiting expectantly for Sister Ruxin to arrive.
"Big brother, was it a beautiful lady who saved me?" Xiaoba, who had recovered from the fever and had just woken up, had a small bowl of porridge and was now wide-eyed looking at the Boss.
The Boss nodded: "Yes, she told us to call her Sister Ruxin. She said she would come again. But before that, you still have to take this half medicine."
Xiaoba opened her mouth and swallowed the half pill directly, feeling that the pill tasted sweet.
"Boss, Sister Ruxin is here." At this moment, Xiaowu and Xiaoliu, who had been looking out at the road, ran inside.
Everyone looked and hurriedly stood up, turning their eyes to the entrance of the abandoned temple.
When Yang Ruxin walked in, what she saw were eight pairs of bright eyes looking at her, making her smile: "Were you all waiting for me?"
"Are you Sister Ruxin?" Xiaoba looked up at Yang Ruxin.
"Yes." Yang Ruxin walked over, reached out, and touched her forehead, then checked her pulse: "It seems you’re better now."
Xiaoba flashed a small, white-toothed smile.
"So, how about it? Have you all made up your minds?" Yang Ruxin patted Xiaoba’s head, then looked at the Boss.
The Boss glanced back at his brothers and sisters, then nodded: "We’ve made up our minds. We are willing to follow you."
"But once you truly follow me, you must listen to me and not betray me. Otherwise, the consequences will be dire." Yang Ruxin’s gaze became sharp. "I said this yesterday, and I’ll say it again today. After that, it won’t be repeated."
At this moment, Xiaolun and Xiaoyin emerged from her wrist with their son, crouching on Yang Ruxin’s shoulder and flicking their tongues at the group of children.
"These are my pets, venomous snakes." Yang Ruxin spread her hand, letting the gold coil into her palm. "As long as you follow me well, I will do my utmost to protect you, ensure you have enough to eat and wear, and give you a bright future. But if you betray me, no matter where you go, these venomous snakes will remember your scent, find you, and make your lives miserable."
The eight children turned pale instantly, but none screamed.
The Boss was the calmest, instinctively stepping forward to shield the others: "I represent them and assure you, we will never betray you." Ever since he could remember, he had wandered everywhere, never knowing what it felt like to be full. His biggest wish was to eat and dress warmly every day, to sleep every night without worrying about whether he’d be able to open his eyes tomorrow morning, and not to worry about being beaten or scolded when stepping outside.
Now that such an opportunity had presented itself, he wanted to seize it and make sure his younger siblings did too.
