The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space

Chapter 1698: Chapter 1698: The Imperial Edict Arrives (6)

”I’m here... waiting for you...” Liang Tie rubbed his hands, appearing somewhat uneasy.

”Then why not come inside?”

”I felt too embarrassed to enter, and besides, I’ll say a few words and leave...” Liang Tie shook his head. ”Even though this matter wasn’t publicized, I still feel ashamed in my heart... Xinxin, these past few days I’ve been mulling over this issue. I realize I was truly wrong...”

”So what did you get wrong?” Yang Ruxin tilted her head, looking at him with a hint of teasing.

”I...” Liang Tie blushed, not out of shyness but out of shame. ”I... I was just wrong...”

”Haha...” Yang Ruxin laughed, but soon regained her composure. ”Brother Tie Dan, I’m really happy you’ve come to understand. Everyone makes mistakes. What’s scary is not admitting to them after being wrong...”

”Xinxin, I didn’t study much, but I’m not an idiot, nor am I blind. I can only say that I was possessed by a devil back then.”

”How about I help you sum it up?” Yang Ruxin raised her eyebrow slightly.

”Sure.” Liang Tie nodded earnestly.

Yang Ruxin’s mouth twitched; she was only joking, but he took it seriously?

Liang Tie looked at her expectantly.

”Alright then, I won’t hold back.” Yang Ruxin also became serious. ”I can summarize a few points for you. First, you were blinded by lust and forgot your kin, prioritizing a woman without any prospects over your family who has been with you day and night. With this, you are not worthy of being a son. Second, you are selfish, self-righteous, even blindly confident, thinking what you see and hear is the best, refusing to listen to others’ advice, only turning back when you hit a wall. With this, you are utterly useless. Third, after the truth was exposed, you knew you were wrong but still refused to bow your head, instead resorting to self-inflicted harm, causing pain and grief to those who care about you. With this, it shows you are cold-blooded and heartless...”

Liang Tie stared wide-eyed in astonishment, even his mouth gaped open.

”So? Convinced?”

Liang Tie finally came to his senses, then nodded: ”Thank you, Xinxin, I’m convinced. I will never do this again.”

”Hmm.” Yang Ruxin nodded. ”I trust you.” She paused, ”Here’s the deal, everyone working for me must take two days each month to come to the school to study and learn to read. Reading can educate you, and knowing more words broadens your horizons, making you less susceptible to temptation.”

”Okay.” Liang Tie beamed, and his mind felt suddenly enlightened. ”I’m heading back.” Then, under Yang Ruxin’s smiling gaze, he ran off quickly.

No matter what happens, there’s always one thing that never changes, and that’s the daily rise and set of the sun and moon.

And just after the New Year, Yang Ruxin received a letter from Gu Qingheng. He had returned to Beijing after triumphing over the enemy, and the Emperor had promoted him. He was now the Ningyuan General of the fifth rank. In Beijing, officials above the fifth rank had the privilege of being granted a residence by the Emperor. Thus, he received one as well, although it couldn’t compare to those of high-ranking officials, he did get a three-entry courtyard, which had a great location, right in Gluttonous Store on the edge of North City...

Gu Qingheng was well aware of Yang Ruxin’s thoughts, so he didn’t mention moving to Beijing for residence. He only mentioned that in the future, if she brought her family to Beijing for a visit, there would be a place to stay...

Before Yang Ruxin had a chance to reply to Gu Qingheng’s letter, someone shouted outside: ”Imperial decree, Yang Ruxin, receive the decree!”
