"Heihei..." Hao Jian chuckled foolishly, "Even the Beast is getting married, I can’t fall behind him..."
"I knew it would be this." Yang Ruxin also laughed, "Pass my congratulations to Qin Shou."
"No problem, I’m off, Sister Ruxin..."
After Hao Jian walked away, Yang Ruxin glanced at Du Man: "You’re from Quanzhou. Do you know anything about the ng Family from Quanzhou?"
"Can’t say I know much, but I’ve heard of them." Du Juan’s expression turned a bit peculiar, "They used to rely on the Chu Family to survive... As for the specifics... Miss, you’d better ask my parents. They’re... much clearer on these things than I am."
Yang Ruxin gave Du Man a look. Based on this girl’s reaction, they seed familiar with the ng Family. Without delay, she rushed back and summoned Du Chengxiu (to avoid confusion, we’ll use this na instead of Xiaofeng going forward) and his wife to her side.
"The ng Family." The mont Du Chengxiu heard "ng Family," his face darkened, and even the hand hanging by his side clenched tightly, "How could I not know the ng Family?"
"They’re just heartless, ungrateful scum." Ye Shi cursed directly, her rage making her entire body tremble.
"Mother," Du Man hurried over to support Ye Shi, "It’s all in the past now."
Yang Ruxin raised an eyebrow slightly—was there more to this?
"Miss, I won’t hide it from you. Back then, ng Huaizhong’s younger daughter, ng Keran, had a marriage contract with Yunpeng..." Du Chengxiu let out a bitter smile, "But later, a girl from the ng Family entered the palace and reportedly gained favor from soone of high status. Then, my dear younger brother thought this would be a good match and colluded with ng Huaizhong..." He shook his head as he recounted. "Our branch was destroyed... At the ti, the second and third branches sabotaged us, and we fled from the Du Family. Thinking we had in-laws, we reached out to the ng Family, but unexpectedly... This leg of mine was broken when assassins found due to their leaking the information."
"They accused of having an affair with the ng Family’s manager..." Ye Shi’s trembling voice suddenly sounded, "They wanted to ruin my reputation and then..."
Yang Ruxin furrowed her brows. So that was the truth.
"Miss, the ng Family is also an enemy of my entire Du Chengxiu household." Du Chengxiu’s eyes were red.
"Understood." Yang Ruxin nodded, "Rest assured. A gentleman’s revenge can wait ten years. What they owe you, you’ll make sure they repay soday."
"Thank you, Miss." Du Chengxiu choked up.
"Do you know which ng girl entered the palace? What position does she hold now?"
Du Chengxiu took a deep breath, steadied his emotions, and then shook his head. "They kept it secret at the ti. After we fled, we heard nothing... Miss, are you planning to investigate the ng Family?"
Yang Ruxin nodded slightly: "Yes, I plan to have Du Yunpeng investigate. I’m wondering if it’ll be dangerous."
"Although so many years have passed, Yunpeng still looks quite similar to when he was young. I’m worried that ng Family mbers might recognize him. Let Xiaoman go instead. She was young back then, has changed quite a bit over the years, and fewer people have seen her..."
"Miss, don’t worry, I’ll get to the bottom of it." Du Man quickly spoke up.
"Alright." Yang Ruxin nodded, handed her the token given by Duo Tianlin, and said, "Take Gu Cheng and Gu Ming with you; you can look out for one another. If there’s any trouble, you can seek help from the Duo Family... Also, bring Xiaohei with you. Send back any information imdiately, but rember, safety cos first."
