The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space

Chapter 2265: Chapter 2265: A Word of Advice (11)

Right in the middle of the trial, Dao Xuzi, who had been absent, suddenly arrived, hands behind his back, strolling in leisurely, holding onto a rope. And there were three people tied to it. It was none other than Ba Santong and his two brothers who previously helped Chen Dongliang commit evil deeds.

”Master, where have you been?” Yang Ruxin hurriedly stood up, ”They...”

”Just wandering around, picked up a few annoying people.” Dao Xuzi said as he handed the rope to Yang Ruxin, ”Heard some annoying things too, really bothersome. I’ll leave them to you. I’m off to find a place to nap.” He didn’t even glance at Lin Lang.

Though Lin Lang hadn’t met Dao Xuzi, he figured out his identity from his conversation with Yang Ruxin. He wanted to retain him but before he could speak, Dao Xuzi had disappeared, leaving Lin Lang with no choice but to give up.

Right after, the Chen Family and managers from those bank stores were also brought in by government officials.

Everybody was present. The examination was swift, and everything became clear. The final judgment was that Chen Dongliang received the death sentence, to be executed on a selected day, and meanwhile, imprisoned in the death cell, while the Chen Family’s property was confiscated.

Dai Zhigao was dismissed and investigated, also sentenced to a reprieve; his property was seized, but his family was not implicated. At least Dai Xiyan and her brother weren’t dragged into it.

This result was already considered a stroke of luck for the Dai Family.

”Yang Ruxin, are you happy destroying our Dai Family?” Dai Xiyan stopped Yang Ruxin after only a few steps out of the County Governor’s Office.

Looking at this girl before her, full of tears yet brimming with hatred, Yang Ruxin helplessly spread her hands: ”I’m not the one who destroyed the Dai Family, you did it yourselves. Don’t bite indiscriminately.”

”You’re really sinister.” Dai Xiyan gnashed her teeth, staring at Yang Ruxin, ”You will surely face retribution, and die a miserable death.”

”That’s enough!” Chai Qin stepped forward, ”Who do you think you are? Dare to...”

Yang Ruxin raised her hand to stop Chai Qin’s words and instead smiled faintly: ”Dai Xiyan, if yesterday I had been ruined by Chen Dongliang, then today I’d be dead, and it’d be my family grieving.” She leaned forward slightly, staring straight into her eyes, ”If that had happened, what would you do? Call your uncle sinister?”

Dai Xiyan frowned.

”After getting news, you Miss Dai would gloat, saying I Yang Ruxin deserved it.” Yang Ruxin smiled, raising her hand to pat Dai Xiyan on the shoulder, ”But you were disappointed. I had the capability, not only to stay safe but to let Chen Dongliang reap what he sowed. So now, it’s me saying your family deserves it.”

Dai Xiyan was so furious her breathing became erratic, she suddenly raised her hand intending to slap Yang Ruxin, but her wrist was caught by Yang Ruxin as soon as she lifted it.

”Miss Dai,” Yang Ruxin’s smile began to turn cold, ”You’re a smart person, able to weigh pros and cons in court, decisively giving up those who perished that day. Don’t you realize it’s even more inappropriate to provoke me now?” Saying this, she flung Dai Xiyan, causing her to stagger.

Dai Xiyan barely steadied herself, gulping nervously. Yes, she’s no longer the daughter of the County Magistrate, but a minister’s daughter. So, she must avoid offending this woman, as patience is imperative now. She suddenly regretted spearing her father; having a criminal father was worse than none.

”Miss Dai, since we’ve met once, I’ll offer you free advice. If I were you, I wouldn’t be here having a pointless stare-down, you can’t defeat me. You’d be better off rushing home to check if someone is emptying your house, you still have a younger brother to support, don’t you?”

Dai Xiyan was stunned.

”I can offer you one more bonus; your father’s concubine has probably moved out your mother’s dowry by now, eloping with her lover.” Yang Ruxin’s face was full of schadenfreude.

Hearing this, Dai Xiyan hurriedly turned and ran back.

”If you hurry to the docks, you might just catch up...”

”Madam, why did you tell her that?” Chai Qin frowned, watching Dai Xiyan’s retreating figure. Before, Dao Xuzi had gone to the Dai’s kitchen searching for food and caught those attempting to flee while uncovering the concubine’s secret, naturally telling Yang Ruxin.

”Performing a good deed.” Yang Ruxin shrugged.

Chai Qin couldn’t hold back a laugh: ”I wonder if Mr. Dai will be angered to death knowing.”

”How about visiting him in jail?”

”Good idea.” Chai Qin got excited, ”I’ll go right away.”

”Alright, you seem to be taking things seriously.” Yang Ruxin hurriedly pulled the little maid back, ”He’s already in jail, let him stay there peacefully, don’t go disturbing him, okay? Be good!”

Chai Qin pouted: ”Madam, are you hoping the higher his hopes, the greater his future disappointments?”

”Didn’t know you became this smart.” Yang Ruxin snapped her fingers.

”I wasn’t stupid before, alright?”

”Yes, very smart, just that your previous intelligence was applied elsewhere.”

”Madam, can you stop calling out flaws?” Chai Qin stomped, ”A prodigal who turns back is worth more, I’ve changed.”

Yang Ruxin just laughed harder: ”Eh, the previous white lotus had a black heart, now it’s turned red.”

”What black heart red heart? Say more and I’ll go seduce the young master.” Chai Qin got riled, but after speaking, she suddenly laughed too. ”Madam, you’re truly wicked.”

Yang Ruxin patted Chai Qin’s shoulder: ”Once someone is sincere, their mind becomes calm. If mother-in-law sees you like this, she’d certainly be pleased.”

Chai Qin nodded.

”Is there no end?” Dao Xuzi was growing impatient, ”I’m hungry.”

”Then...”

”Madam Ruyi.” At this moment, Lin Lang’s subordinate arrived, ”My master is waiting for you at the restaurant across the street.”

”Great.” Yang Ruxin nodded, ”Time for some food.”

In the private room, once Yang Ruxin entered, Lin Lang stood up and bowed deeply.

”What’s Lin Da doing?” Yang Ruxin swiftly dodged, ”Trying to shorten my lifespan?”

”Ah!” Lin Lang sighed, ”I actually want to thank Madam for being lenient towards me back then. Just haven’t had the chance to visit; today is a good opportunity, grateful Madam came.”

”I don’t understand such talk.” Yang Ruxin shook her head, ”Lin Da is capable and daring, and your administration is considered honest and just. I, a simple village woman, wouldn’t dare comment.”

”The Wei Family matter.” Lin Lang had to clarify, ”Back then my brother-in-law Zhao Yunliang almost married Wei Yao... later he did marry a girl from the Wei Family. Actually, Yunliang isn’t a lewd person, but his wife passed away, he couldn’t live alone. At that time, many proposed matches but Yunliang had seen Wei Yao; the girl was competent and beautiful. When Wei Family came saying it was agreed by the second family, and she herself was willing, it almost led to a major mistake.”
