Chapter 11867

Xingwang hesitated for a moment, then sighed, "Oh well, never mind, wait a moment, I'll go in and report. That's all I can do for you."

Upon hearing this, the three people's despair was instantly rekindled.

"Thank you, thank you!" Uncle Sixi and Uncle Sixi quickly bowed to Xingwang.

Xingwang shook his head, turned around and went back into the courtyard, slamming the gate shut again.

In the backyard, Yang Ruoqing and her entire family were gathered. Even Luo the blacksmith and Wang Cuilian didn't leave the yard, because they both knew that if they were encountered by Uncle Sixi and his family at the gate, the other party would definitely beg them in person.

Given their personalities, the two elders would definitely find it difficult to refuse, putting them in a very difficult position.

Therefore, Yang Ruoqing directly arranged for them to stay at home for the next two days, mainly to avoid going out.

At this moment, Xingwang came to the backyard and reported the events in the front yard to Yang Ruoqing.

Xingwang said, "I did as Madam instructed, and now I've given them a glimmer of hope. I'll leave them outside to wait for news."

Yang Ruoqing smiled slightly, "Did I give you any benefits?"

Xingwang chuckled, "Uncle Sixi took out a handful of copper coins and offered them to me, but I refused and returned them."

Yang Ruoqing said, "If they give you more later, just accept it. It's what you deserve."

"Yes, I will listen to you, Madam."

At the courtyard gate, Uncle Sixi and his two companions waited until their necks ached. Sixi's mother muttered under her breath, "Why does it take Xingwang so long to deliver a message?"

Uncle Sixi said, "Let's wait a little longer. Right now, we're the ones asking them for help."

If they were to agree to see us and ask us to wait a little longer, we would wait a little longer. The right to choose has long since been taken from us.

Uncle Sixi said, "Actually, Xingwang didn't even have time to drink a bowl of tea before he went in. This courtyard is so big, but we were all preoccupied with our own things, so it felt like a long, long time had passed..."

It's really not long at all, really.

“Hmm, that seems to make sense,” said Uncle Sixi. “Let’s just wait.” Uncle Sixi gave his maternal uncle Sixi a wink.

Uncle Sixi understood and turned to his sister in a low voice, instructing her: "Yang Ruoqing is different from other members of the Yang family. When you get to her, you absolutely must put away your fiery temper. If you can't speak softly, just keep your mouth shut and let us do it. You absolutely must not ruin things, or else, you know what will happen!"

Si Xi's mother discerned many things from the warning glances in her brother's and uncle's eyes.

One of the conclusions they reached last night, along with the rest of the family, was that there was a strong possibility that someone was deliberately targeting them.

The family that had a deep and close feud with them was undoubtedly the Yang family.

On Old Yang's side, who holds the most power? They have connections in both the legal and illegal worlds, and are intertwined with both government and business.
Yang Ruoqing!

Especially after they contacted four village elders in succession, all of whom refused to see them as if they had made a prior arrangement, they began to suspect something was amiss.

The four village elders dared not offend Yang Ruoqing. If they saw them and spoke on their behalf, they would be making enemies of Yang Ruoqing.

Especially after they visited Yang Huazhong's house next door today, and witnessed the stark difference in Yang Huazhong's attitude, they became even more convinced that their previous guess was correct!
at last……

The heavy bronze door slowly opened from the inside again, revealing Xingwang's face, which they had been looking forward to for so long.

"Gentlemen, my lady originally did not want to see outsiders, but I put in a good word for you, and she softened and let you in."

Uncle Sixi quickly bowed again to express his gratitude, and at the same time, stuffed the handful of copper coins back into Xingwang's hand.

"Thank you so much, sir. This is just a small token of our appreciation. Please don't find it too much!"

This handful of copper coins is worth at most thirty coins; any more than that, and you can't hold it all in your hand.

Xingwang smiled, generously stuffed the copper coins into his pocket, and then let them into the courtyard.

"Madam is in the tea room in the front yard. Please follow me."

The backyard of the house is a place that only family members can enter, as it involves a lot of privacy. People like Uncle Sixi, Uncle Sixi's maternal uncle, and Aunt Sixi have no right to go in.
