Standing at the entrance of Huichun Hall, Yang Ruxin glanced at the modest signboard and a flicker of light crossed her eyes. It was here that Yang Baihe had her teeth set, and now Fatty Hao had his teeth done here too, showing that Huichun Hall specialized in such patients. But she wondered if they simply replaced teeth or if they could replace other things too. Could it be related to the Flame Sect that Qian Er had mentioned before?
In any case, she felt a strong impulse to investigate further.
However, since she had arranged to meet Fatty Hao, she didn’t plan to go in at the moment, to avoid startling the grass and scaring the snake away.
Just as she was about to turn and leave, someone came out from inside, holding a medicine package, seemingly having come to collect medicine. Of course, that wasn’t the point; the point was that the person was none other than Tian Geng.
Yang Ruxin slightly raised her eyebrows. The Tian Family certainly had issues. But just as she was considering whether to avoid him, he saw her and came straight over, "Dani?"
Yang Ruxin looked up at the man walking towards her, "Ah, it’s Tian Family’s uncle, what a coincidence!"
"Yes," Tian Geng glanced over Yang Ruxin from top to bottom. He had heard that the eldest branch of the Yang Family had changed, especially this Yang Dani, who had become formidable and could make money. Now it seemed she had also become more beautiful. He then gave a slight smile, "Why are you alone in the county town?"
"I’m here to take care of some business," Yang Ruxin smiled, "Did Tian Family’s uncle fall ill?"
"It’s your great aunt; she caught a cold these past few days," Tian Geng smiled, "She wasn’t getting better in the town, so we came to the county to find a doctor from Huichun Hall. After two doses of medicine, she saw improvement, but we still need to consolidate the treatment..."
"Then Tian Family’s uncle, you go ahead with your errands. I’ll be leaving," Yang Ruxin waved her hand.
"Wait a moment." Tian Geng reached out to grab Yang Ruxin’s arm.
Yang Ruxin hastily stepped back, avoiding his touch, but her hand clenched for a moment. She had to exert great restraint not to break his arm, "Is there something else?"
"I heard your grandma is ill? I’ll come to visit when I have the time..."
"We’ve already severed ties," Yang Ruxin slightly frowned, "You should have heard about it, right?"
"Ah, I know your aunt has a bit of a temper, but we’re still relatives, aren’t we?" Tian Geng laughed with a "Heihei," "We can’t just stop seeing each other, can we? You should bring your siblings over to our house sometime... Liang Jiadong mentioned you guys too..."
"Sure, I’ll definitely come over when I have the time," Yang Ruxin replied with a bright smile, then turned and walked away.
Watching Yang Ruxin’s retreating figure, Tian Geng’s eyes narrowed slightly, and then suddenly sparked with cunning. The higher-ups had been irate lately because several of their locations were uprooted by the Imperial Court, starting with Lianhua Town. He had narrowly escaped slaughter by the higher-ups. Now, they wanted some fine goods, how could he forget about the eldest branch’s children? If... His lips slowly curled up, he had been so foolish; these were all ready for the taking... It seemed, he should start visiting the village more often.
Yang Ruxin paid no attention to Tian Geng because she knew that if he had plans, he would definitely come to find her. So, she wasn’t in a hurry and instead went to the Fang Family.
The Fang Family was delighted at Yang Ruxin’s arrival.
"Zeze went down south with his uncle to inspect the shops or something. He’ll be back before the New Year," Yuan Mengzhu sighed, "I really don’t know if it was right to agree to let him work..."
