Yang Ruxin watched Yang Baichuan approaching and signaled slightly. Before Dabao could move, Sanni had already brought a stool over and set it aside, then went on to pull Xun Hui over to sit down.
"I..." Xun Hui was so nervous and anxious that she didn’t know what to do.
Yang Ruxin put her hand on her shoulder, "Mother, this is what you deserve. If he shows sincerity in his apology when he kowtows, you can choose to forgive him. If not, then..."
"Elder sister-in-law." Yang Baichuan didn’t wait for Yang Ruxin to finish speaking and went straight to his knees on the ground. Perhaps due to thinking about Dandan’s injury, his voice was slightly shrill, "I was wrong, I’m lower than pigs and dogs, I will never do it again..."
Xun Hui was extremely nervous, constantly looking up at Yang Ruxin.
However, Yang Ruxin was expressionless.
The onlookers around them were all silent too.
"Please forgive me..." Yang Baichuan began to smack his own mouth, and it was apparent that he wasn’t going lightly as blood soon appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his face swelled.
Yang Anshi looked at Xun Hui maliciously. If glares could kill, Xun Hui would have been sliced a thousand times by now.
Xun Hui couldn’t bear it any longer. She had never experienced anything like this and anxiously grabbed Yang Ruxin’s hand, her voice already breaking into a cry, "Xinxin, this..."
"Are you satisfied?" Yang Ruxin looked down at her.
"I’ll let it go," said Xun Hui, shaking her head quickly, "It’s all in the past, from now on, we’ll each go our own way..."
"Now that my mother has said she forgives you, you can stand up." Yang Ruxin exhaled, thinking that this woman was ultimately too soft-hearted. However, she wasn’t going to force the issue and knew when to cut her losses, "From now on, let’s mind our own business and do not provoke us again, or else..."
"I won’t, ever again," Yang Baichuan hurriedly nodded, "I’ll take a detour..."
"Master Fang, we shall see how things go from here." Yang Ruxin glanced at Fang Tianze, "After all, if his conduct is improper, his scholarly title can be revoked at any time, right?"
"Since Sister Xinxin has spoken, we’ll leave it at that for now," Fang Tianze waved his hand, a sly flash in his eyes, "Let’s eat meat." In reality, he was somewhat abusing his power, as revoking a Scholar’s title wasn’t something that could just be done with a word, it needed to be reported. But fooling these people was enough for now. Besides, Sister Xinxin and her husband truly had the power to revoke his title, just a word to Qi Baye would do, so his actions weren’t really excessive.
Guan Qingshu had been silent throughout all of this, but his thoughts were raging like a stormy sea. This Yang Ruxin – dominant and decisive – must seem somewhat cold-blooded in the eyes of many. Yet... when he looked at Gu Qingheng, he was always calm and composed, as if whatever Xinxin did was right. Such a man... no wonder Xinxin liked him. If it had been him... he probably would have spoken up to stop her by now, would find her too rough, would...
The more Guan Qingshu thought about it, the more he felt that he was drifting further and further away from Xinxin!
"Thank you, elder sister-in-law," Yang Baichuan, who had been forgiven, finally breathed a sigh of relief and then struggled to stand up. However, in the moment he cast a glance at Xun Hui, a bloodthirsty light flashed in his eyes.
Yang Ruxin had been watching Yang Baichuan the whole time, so she saw his gaze. Although that vicious flash disappeared in an instant, her heart skipped a beat – it seemed she would have to be more vigilant about this man in the future.
