Peng Jing didn’t expect that Yang Ruxin, a village girl, would provoke her like this. Her face twisted with anger for a mont, but fortunately, she rembered the occasion and managed to suppress her anger. However, she gave Yang Ruxin a fierce glare before looking away.
Yang Ruxin smiled nonchalantly. Anyway, she and this girl had been at odds ever since she tried to seduce Gu Qingheng. As long as there were no more tricks, it was fine; if there was any action, she wouldn’t mind paying back double.
No one noticed the turbulence between the two, but Jiang Fangfei did. However, she wisely didn’t ask and instead quietly told Yang Ruxin that Shen Shuyi’s mother and Peng Jing’s mother were cousins.
Yang Ruxin suddenly understood why Peng Jing would co along with Shen Shuyi.
Old General Peng had defended the city and died for the country. Luckily, he left behind three young ones, who are the descendants of a ritorious official.
And the Wu Family, taking in Peng Jing and her siblings, would not only be praised but also not be mistreated by the Emperor.
Having figured out the general situation, Yang Ruxin didn’t pay attention to these matters anymore, and instead wondered about Cui Fangfang, whom she wanted to et the most today. Why hadn’t she arrived yet?
Jiang Fangfei also realized this and sent a maid to inquire, only to be told that Old Madam Cui was talking with the Commandery Princess in the front yard and Miss Cui was accompanying them. They said to start here first and that she would be sent over shortly.
Yang Ruxin chuckled, thinking that girl was probably afraid to et her, right?
"Let’s go, everyone, to the Lake Heart Pavilion," Jiang Fangfei then invited everyone. "The refreshnts there are all ready..."
The Lotus Pond at the Princess Residence was particularly large, and it should actually be called a lake. At this mont, it’s covered with lotus leaves, giving it a sense of being endless.
It’s not yet the season for the lotus flowers to bloom, but their buds were standing upright, with so half-opened, displaying a unique charm.
Four small boats were already prepared by the shore for everyone to board and travel.
There was room for four or five people on each boat.
A master with a servant would board first, and then the boat would co back to take the remaining family mbers.
Yang Ruxin looked at the lake full of lotuses and those small boats, her eyes gleaming. How she wanted to bring a boat into her space! And moreover, how she wanted to bring a batch of those lotuses into her space!
"Sister Xin, why do you look at the boat the sa way I look at chicken legs?" Qi Zizi sat beside Yang Ruxin.
"The boat looks nice." Yang Ruxin awkwardly touched her nose. "We also have a small river in our village, but the boats aren’t this nice..."
"If you like it, let Sister Fangfei give you one." Qi Zizi laughed, "You don’t know, right? Sister Fangfei’s fief Pingning County has a large Ping Lake. Although there are no lotuses, it’s full of reeds. It’s really fun to row a boat there... You can collect wild duck eggs among the reeds, which are bigger and tastier than regular duck eggs..." As she spoke, she smacked her lips, "Oh, and in the reed marshes, there are tiny fish whose na I don’t know, but they taste delicious when fried..."
Yang Ruxin was convinced, this girl really loved food. She couldn’t stop talking about it, and her dedication wasn’t sothing ordinary people could match.
"Country bumpkin!" Peng Jing, driven by so unknown ntality and though she disliked Yang Ruxin, squeezed onto her boat, muttering under her breath.
"Who are you calling a country bumpkin?" Qi Zizi shouted before Yang Ruxin even responded.
