The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space

Chapter 1427: Chapter 1427: Passing Away with a Smile (1)

Shadow Twelve and Shadow Thirteen, who had assisted the young master Luo in escorting the young miss of the Chu Family back to Quanzhou, finally returned, bringing with them the unfortunate news that the young miss passed away shortly after entering Quanzhou City.

But at that time, she passed away in Duo Tianlin’s arms, with a smile on her face.

Duo Tianlin then buried her directly on Peach Mountain outside the city, and after guarding her grave for three days, he returned to the city. Thereafter, he began to investigate the past events, hand in hand with his younger brother Duo Tianwen.

”However, when we left, there were still no results,” Gu Cheng sighed.

”No matter what, that poor woman has finally returned to her roots,” Yang Ruxin nodded, ”As for the outcome, it’s actually no longer important.” She paused, ”You’ve had a hard time.” After dealing with the matter, she let it go, having done what she felt she should have.

Meanwhile, Du Juan came to Yang Ruxin to ask for leave, wishing to make a trip to Quanzhou Prefecture.

”Going to Quanzhou?” Yang Ruxin frowned.

Du Juan nodded: ”Miss, just give me three days. I want to go... to pay respects at Shaoyao’s grave...”

Only then did Yang Ruxin remember this girl’s true identity, and couldn’t help nodding: ”Let Gu Cheng accompany you, get there and back quickly.” Originally, she had said that Shaoyao was from Quanzhou Prefecture. When Shaoyao knew she was in danger, she traveled thousands of miles to find Du Juan and handed over the treasure map to her. After she succumbed to poison and died, Du Juan and her father secretly buried Shaoyao back in her hometown.

Of course, the term ’thousands of miles’ is merely a descriptive term. In reality, the distance wasn’t as far as one might imagine because Du Juan was from Xing County of Taiyuan Prefecture in Yuzhou, which borders Quanzhou Prefecture. Song Manor is only three to four hundred miles from Xing County, and one can arrive there in just half a day on horseback.

Now that they were already in the Suzhou and Hangzhou area, they were not far from Quanzhou. Therefore, paying respects at a grave was a matter of course.

Du Juan did not refuse. Although the map on her body had been copied by Yang Ruxin, and the skin on her back had been repaired and the pattern destroyed by the medicine of senior Dao Xuzi, she was still in danger if someone were to discover her.

With Gu Cheng accompanying her, it would be somewhat safer.

Once Du Juan and Gu Cheng left, Yang Ruxin began to focus on the hot pot restaurant she was about to open. Indeed, following such events, their mother-daughter relationship with the Dong Family inevitably became a bit strange, making the business partnership with Dong Wenming somewhat awkward.

Dong Wenming, however, took the initiative to forgo his share of the business profits but offered to continue helping tend to the shop. Yang Ruxin did not agree, believing that merely helping without sharing in the profits was not a sustainable arrangement, and that a partnership was more reliable.

The previous renovations of the shop were completely finished, all the necessary items were in place, and all the required staff were on board.

Yang Ruxin signed a business partnership agreement with Dong Wenming, with every clause clearly defined, taking a completely formal approach to the business.

If family relationships are well maintained, they can become closer, but once neglected, it becomes easy for them to break, and once broken, they are difficult to restore.

Dong Wenming understood this as well, sensing the growing distance between him and Xinxin, feeling terribly distressed but helpless - the consequences of his actions, which he could only try to make up for in the future.

Yang Ruxin was too lazy to guess Dong Wenming’s thoughts, deeming it more worthwhile to think about how to make money instead.
