The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space

Chapter 1790: Chapter 1790: Stop Investigating (7)

Qi Jingyun’s mouth twitched: ”Village girl? Hehe.”

”Yes, village girl.” Yang Ruxin nodded vigorously. She had indeed sent someone to investigate, even tried to infiltrate the Wang Residence, but unfortunately failed. It showed that this person was very cautious, but she refused to admit it till the end, and the other party probably couldn’t do anything about it.

Qi Jingyun clearly understood this principle, so he changed the subject: ”I won’t investigate you anymore in the future.”

”That’s so obedient!” Yang Ruxin laughed, raising her hand to pat the other’s arm.

There was no choice, the other party was tall, so she couldn’t reach the shoulder.

Qi Jingyun’s mouth twitched, he glanced at his own arm, feeling a bit frantic.

”Alright, it’s done. I’m leaving now.” Yang Ruxin waved her hand dismissively.

”Let’s have a meal together, after all...”

”No, thanks.” Yang Ruxin shook her head, ”Just the two of us... if my man finds out, he’ll get jealous, and the result of his jealousy will definitely be not letting me on the bed... I don’t want to sleep on a cold bench myself...” Then she walked away straight ahead, leaving the bewildered Prince of the Wang Residence standing there, dazed.

Yang Ruxin wandered around with Du Juan for a while, making sure no one was following them, before heading to the courtyard Du Yunpeng had bought.

The guards were a pair of lonely old folks. The old man was surnamed Niu, who previously lived by begging, so having them look after eight little beggars shouldn’t be a source of resentment.

This courtyard was situated in a very remote location, with few nearby residents. Many houses had collapsed, and the remaining residents were too impoverished to move away.

Du Yunpeng had been waiting there for a while.

”Greetings, Master.” Old Man Niu and Old Lady Niu bowed to Yang Ruxin.

”It’ll be hard work for you from now on.” Yang Ruxin nodded slightly.

”It’s no trouble, having food to eat and clothes to wear, we’re content.” Old Man Niu waved his hand quickly, ”If there’s anything you need in the future, just let us know, Master.”

Yang Ruxin nodded. Although she hadn’t taken any special measures with the children, she had fed these two some medicine, after all, she didn’t fully trust them. If anything happened... it would spell trouble for her.

Inside the house, the leader and a few others looked at Yang Ruxin expectantly.

”You’ve done very well.” Yang Ruxin smiled. ”You’ll have to keep monitoring people in the future, like where certain adults go; these are valuable clues...”

The children nodded energetically.

”Now, I’ll give you your second task.” Yang Ruxin said, pulling out a small porcelain bottle, ”I need you to find an opportunity to place the medicine pills in this bottle on Madam Gu...”

”No problem,” the leader took the bottle.

”Remember, you mustn’t touch those pills.” Yang Ruxin reminded, ”Pour it into her pouch or shoe, whatever works...”

”We’ll complete the task for sure,” the leader replied confidently. With better food these days, everyone felt more assured.

The third child hesitated, stepping forward but then glanced at the leader and retreated again.

”What’s wrong?” Yang Ruxin asked the third child.

”Um... Sister Xin, can you give us names?” The third child’s face flushed, appearing a bit uneasy. She was ten years old, being called ”the third child” all the time made her feel like she was becoming an old woman. She had once tried to give herself a name, but having never been to school, her vocabulary was limited, so she couldn’t think of a good one. Now that they had a master, could the master bestow them names?
