"The Shu young master just now?" Wang Hehua paused for a mont, then shook her head, "No, no, the Shu family’s threshold is too high. Our Xiaoxiang, a country girl, how could she possibly match up to them?"
"This isn’t a matter of matching up." Feng Zilan shook her head, "You should know, with Qingheng and Ruxin around, no one really cares much about social standing anymore."
Li Xiang paused for a mont, then lowered her head.
Yang Ruxin frowned slightly. Why was there sadness in Li Xiang’s eyes?
"Exactly, the key is whether Xiaoxiang and Xiaoluo can see eye to eye." Dong Wenxiu nodded as well.
"Of course, I think it’s good, Xiaoxiang..."
"Mother, aunt, I don’t want to get married," Li Xiang suddenly said, "I want to help father and mother raise my younger brothers first."
"What kind of nonsense is that?" Wang Hehua widened her eyes, "I can raise my own sons. Why would you need to delay yourself into an old maid for that? I am your real mother."
Li Xiang kept her head down in silence, but her whole body showed resistance.
Dong Wenxiu wanted to say sothing, but Yang Ruxin quickly shook her head at her. With Li Xiang like this, there must be sothing wrong. It’s not the right ti to talk.
Dong Wenxiu didn’t react, but Feng Zilan understood and quickly changed the subject: "Then it’s not ant to be. Xiaoxiang is not that old, she can wait a couple of years."
Wang Hehua also noticed her daughter’s abnormal behavior at this point, opened her mouth but didn’t say anything further.
Yang Ruxin helped Wang Hehua bring the two young ones back ho, and Li Xiang ca out to see her off.
"Is anything wrong?" Yang Ruxin held Li Xiang’s hand, "If you are willing, you can tell ..."
Li Xiang’s eyes flashed with a hint of pain, but she quickly hid it and put on a smile: "What could be wrong with ?"
Yang Ruxin just looked at her. Ever since she arrived here, she has gotten closer to her and Liang Xiaoyu, naturally understanding their temperants. Now that Liang Xiaoyu and Little Liuzi are married, Li Xiang is the only one left without a match, not because there haven’t been suitors, but because she has refused them all. If she were to say there isn’t sothing fishy going on, Yang Ruxin wouldn’t believe it.
Li Xiang avoided her gaze, feeling sowhat guilty.
"If there’s nothing, that’s best." Yang Ruxin suddenly smiled, reached out to pat her shoulder, "Go back." Then turned and left. Since she doesn’t wish to speak, Yang will not force her, after all, everyone has their own secrets.
"Xinxin." Li Xiang suddenly chased after Yang Ruxin after she had walked a good distance.
Yang Ruxin turned to look at her.
"I’m really unsure if this is right..." Li Xiang glanced at Chun Hua who was with Yang Ruxin.
Chun Hua quickly smiled: "Madam, I’ll head back first."
Yang Ruxin nodded.
Li Xiang waited until Chun Hua had left, then took out a pouch from her bosom, opened it, and took out a jade bracelet.
Yang Ruxin took the jade bracelet and looked at it. An excellent quality old pit Glazed-type Jadeite bracelet, known as Glazed-type in this era, it’s not cheap, especially such old pit Jadeite, extrely hard to co by. She had happened upon one when gambling stones in Zuo County, so she recognized it imdiately.
But how could such a precious bracelet end up in Li Xiang’s possession?
"It’s... it’s from Master Xie who sent soone to deliver it..." Li Xiang bit her lip, but ultimately decided to be honest with Yang Ruxin. She knew that if she needed help, Xinxin was the best person to ask.
