After her laughter, she waved her hand, “Big sister, let’s not talk about this.
Just now, our big cousin…
why didn’t you let him in?”
“We’re ultimately not on the same path as him.” Yang Ruxin smiled, “We should keep a casual relationship with him in the future.
He couldn’t possibly oppose the old residence’s people for our sake…
The more we interact, the more trouble there will be.”
Erni nodded.
“Alright, go back now.”
“I’ll stay a bit longer…” Erni showed no intention of going inside.
“I say, Xuexue, are you missing Ayao?” Yang Ruxin couldn’t help but lean in and tease Erni.
Though the girl didn’t say it, she would occasionally look down the road, her intentions as clear as day.
“What are you talking about, big sister?” Erni’s face immediately turned red.
“Liking someone and missing them when they’re gone is perfectly normal, nothing to be embarrassed about,” Yang Ruxin chuckled, “If Gu Qingheng were gone this long, I’d miss him too…”
“Big sister, I understand.” Erni nodded, “I do miss Gu Qingheng…
I mean, Qingheng…”
“Do you truly like him?
What I mean is, do you want to marry him?
Regardless of his status?”
Erni was stunned for a moment, then her face turned red, but she still nodded, “Big sister, I don’t care about his status, I…
I want to marry him…”
“Xuexue, you’ve really matured quite a bit,” Yang Ruxin expressed her contentment.
“I’m still not as smart as Mengmeng,” Erni said, a bit embarrassed, as she touched her head.
“You and Mengmeng have different personalities.
You’re also a smart girl, just a bit timid before.
Now you’re much braver, although sometimes you’re a little too soft-hearted,” Yang Ruxin laughed, “Actually, as long as you can distinguish what’s important, it’s okay to be soft-hearted.”
“I know.” Erni nodded, “I’ll keep trying hard, I definitely want to be worthy of…
Qingheng…”
“Remember, Xuexue, in this world, two people are never a question of being worthy or unworthy.
It’s only about being suitable or unsuitable, liking or not liking…”
Erni was somewhat puzzled.
“For instance, what’s your opinion on the princes and nobles of Beijing?”
“They’re very good, very impressive…”
“If you were asked to marry a prince right now, would you want to?”
Erni shook her head quickly, “I wouldn’t want that.”
“Why?
Is it because you feel unworthy, or because you don’t like them?”
Erni’s eyes twinkled, and she suddenly smiled, “Big sister, I understand now.”
Yang Ruxin patted Erni’s shoulder and then turned to walk into the courtyard.
At that moment, some black dots appeared on the road leading to the village.
Soon, those black dots gradually grew larger.
“Big sister, Ayao and the others are back…” Erni’s shout instantly spread throughout the entire building.
Yang Ruxin had just stepped over the threshold when she heard the shout and hurried back out.
Indeed, a caravan of mules and horses appeared on the road, led by Uncle Li Zhong.
She breathed a sigh of relief; they had finally returned safely.
Erni had already rushed towards the caravan.
In her eyes, there was no one else but the young man riding the black horse.
In her eyes, the boy seemed to be emanating light.
However, her personality didn’t allow for an embrace, so she stopped when she reached Gu Yao and simply looked up at him with a smile.
