Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 12056

“Okay, we’ll go first thing tomorrow morning. I’ll go with you, wherever you go, I’ll go!” Luo Fengtang stopped explaining and stood up, his expression calm and his tone sincere.

"Qing'er, don't question me because of Da'an. People are different," Luo Fengtang said in a deep voice.

“I know you were just saying that out of anger. You know how sincere I am to you.”

"Over the years, in my eyes, besides you and your daughter Wuyou, when have I ever looked at any other woman?"

After her verbal outburst at him, Yang Ruoqing had largely released her anger.

Seeing his dejected look, she felt a pang of guilt.

She never doubted his fidelity.

Over the years, the women who have coveted him have ranged from daughters of high-ranking officials and noble families to young ladies from scholarly families, and even famous women from brothels and entertainment venues. I doubt there is any woman in the world who does not know the name of General Luo Fengtang, the protector of the nation.
But he has never had any scandals outside of his career.

He rarely appeared at large banquets. Even when he couldn't refuse, he was very wary of the food he ate and the wine he drank, never giving anyone a chance to take advantage of him.

Moreover, looking at the Great Qi, or the Great Liao to the north, or those remote and uncivilized small countries on the western border.

No matter which general's camp it was, you could see the female soldiers. Even many generals or deputy generals, or even just a small leader who was escorting grain supplies, as long as they had some power and resources, had the female soldiers there!
However, there were never any female soldiers in the National Protection Army's camps.

As their leader and the flag bearer, General Luo Fengtang sets an example by his own actions. The army has a good atmosphere and the soldiers are highly capable. Over the years, the National Protection Army has been invincible. It is no longer just a sharp blade in the hands of the Great Qi royal family, but a backbone that the Great Qi royal family must rely on!

If it weren't for the fact that Luo Fengtang was already married and had three sons and one daughter with his wife, and that their relationship was stable.

Otherwise, the entire Qi Dynasty, or even the whole world, would probably think that this war god had a penchant for short sleeves...

"Tang Ya Zi, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said those things to you before." Yang Ruo Qing looked at Luo Feng Tang, her big eyes filled with guilt and self-reproach.

“Because Da’an really shocked me. He showed me the evil behind human nature. The dark side is too big…” Yang Ruoqing shook her head gently. Really, she couldn’t recall Da’an’s every smile and every move, especially those days when he was collectively boycotted by the whole family. He looked like he was about to rip out his repentant heart.

So broken, helpless, and remorseful, he wanted to turn over a new leaf and was just waiting for his family to reach out a hand to pull him out of the mire.

Okay, his family has forgiven him.

However, I originally thought that he had emerged from the quagmire of moral sentiments and was now under the same scrutiny as everyone else, and could continue to dream about a bright future with Xiaohua.

However, when he turned around, he realized that Da'an was not standing in the sunlight at all; half of his body was still hidden in the darkness.

This feeling truly made Yang Ruoqing feel hopeless!

"Even if I punched Da'an to death now, it would feel like hitting a ball of cotton," Yang Ruoqing said in a slightly hoarse voice, her eyes already filled with tears.

Seeing this, Luo Fengtang was so frightened that he bent down again and hugged her tightly.

"Don't cry, Qing'er. I've never been angry with you." He hurriedly wiped away Yang Ruoqing's tears. "As for Da'an, if you don't like him, you don't have to do it yourself. Just tell me, and I'll take care of it. I won't dirty your hands!"

Yang Ruoqing was amused by Luo Fengtang's words.

"You, what are you saying? Don't you think your hands get dirty?" she said, gently holding Luo Fengtang's hand. "I've thought about it. I'd better not go to Changhuaizhou tomorrow. If I go now, Ruan Xiaowei won't be there. She's been sent to Shu by Da'an to rest during her pregnancy. So, even if I'm going to look for her, I'll go to Shu, not Changhuaizhou."

Luo Fengtang was truly shocked when he heard this.

"Qing'er, you don't mean to go to Shu, do you? Don't go! The road to Shu is difficult, more difficult than ascending to heaven. The old and the young at home can't do without you! Besides, I can probably only stay at home for a month at most before I have to leave. There are things going on at the military camp. I can't go to Shu with you, and I can't stay at home to take care of them. You can't leave!"

Ok!

Yang Ruoqing shook her head, feeling a ringing in her ears.

This was probably the first time in all the years I'd known Luo Fengtang that he'd spoken so much in one breath, without even pausing for a pause.

Clearly, her desire to go to Shu (Sichuan) had terrified him...

"I... I was just saying it, I didn't mean to do it, don't worry!" Yang Ruoqing gently rubbed his palm.

"You're not kidding me?" Luo Fengtang was skeptical, clearly still shaken from the earlier incident.

Yang Ruoqing suddenly got up and knelt on the bed. The blanket slipped down to her legs. She used her knees to push herself up and gently rubbed her hand on his head twice, just like he usually did when he touched her head.

"Don't worry, when have I ever lied to you? I won't go to Shu. Those things are Da'an's business, not our own family matter."

Is she stupid? Leaving her elderly parents and children at home to run so far away to deal with other people's family conflicts? She must be bored and have nothing better to do!

“If you were the one who sent your mistress to Shu, I would fly there even if I had wings, hehe.” Yang Ruoqing added.

Luo Fengtang's brows, which had just relaxed, furrowed again upon hearing the follow-up words.

"You don't have to say that last sentence," he said in a muffled voice.

Yang Ruoqing chuckled, thoroughly enjoying the feeling of teasing him, which made her feel much happier.

"So what do you plan to do next?" Luo Fengtang asked as he helped Yang Ruoqing find her shoes, get her cotton-padded coat, and get her skirt.

As Yang Ruoqing quickly put on her clothes, she said, "I plan to have one last talk with Da'an to see his attitude."

"If he admits his deception and explains his predicament, I might not expose him and let him handle the aftermath properly without harming the flowers."

"What if he continues to play dumb with you?" Luo Fengtang squatted down in front of her, bent down and gently helped her put her shoes on.

A cold snort came from above: "If he's still playing dumb, then I'm sorry, I'll tell my parents and Xiaohua about this. I'm not going to worry about how it ends. I'll just be a bystander."

"Wouldn't things get chaotic?" Luo Fengtang frowned slightly; the thought of that scene was a little frightening.

Yang Ruoqing sneered again: "He dares to keep a mistress. As his older sister, I can't stop him, but I can't protect him either!"

"Even if things get chaotic and chaotic, I will ensure that Xiaohua has the right to know!"

Once Xiaohua finds out, whether she chooses to tolerate and compromise, or to insist on a divorce, is entirely up to her.

No matter which option Xiaohua chooses, Yang Ruoqing will stand firmly behind her, no longer being her sister-in-law or a divorced woman, but simply returning to being Yang Ruoqing's sister.

With her older sister, Yang Huazhong, and Madam Sun around, and their three children, Xiaohua will not suffer hardship or injustice for the rest of her life!
Because all the grievances I suffered in the first half of my life came from Da'an!

Luo Fengtang had completely understood Yang Ruoqing's attitude, and he couldn't help but look at her with a hint of admiration.

"Qing'er, you are truly an extraordinary woman. My judgment, Luo Fengtang's, is indeed excellent!" Decisive, courageous, principled, and unwavering in her principles and bottom line.

As a woman, I have never had the idea of ​​depending on men. Instead, I am independent and self-reliant. Not only am I independent, but I also encourage my sisters to bravely pursue happiness.

In Luo Fengtang's eyes, Qing'er was undoubtedly radiant.

"Oh, don't flatter me. We've been married for so long, really, aren't you ashamed!"

He wasn't ashamed at all; Yang Ruoqing was definitely struggling to cope.

"If you really want to help me, then help me arrange a meeting with Da'an, and create an opportunity for me to speak with him alone without alerting Xiaohua and my parents," she added.

Luo Fengtang nodded: "Don't worry, I'll take care of it right away!"

He turned around to go to the next courtyard to find Da'an, but then Xiao Hua and He Lian'er's voices rang out from outside the courtyard.

"Sister, brother-in-law, are you inside?"

Upon hearing this voice, Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang exchanged a glance. Yang Ruoqing said, "The opportunity has come. I'll keep them chatting in the room while you go find Da'an."

Luo Fengtang nodded.

The couple went to the doorway together and saw Xiaohua and He Lian'er standing at the arched gate in the courtyard.

Xiao Hua was pointing at the seemingly withered but actually vibrant vines and branches, explaining to He Lian'er in detail: "Lian'er, don't underestimate these withered branches and vines, they are all alive."

"It's still January, and the weather hasn't warmed up yet. They will revive when spring arrives and flowers bloom."

"Around the Qingming Festival, the leaves that grow will change every day, and they will even start to form flower buds!"

He Lian'er listened with wide amazement, stroking the withered branches and vines, murmuring in wonder.

"Sister-in-law, you've said so much, but you still haven't said what kind of flower it is?"

"Oh dear, what a forgetful thing I am! I forgot something important." Little Flower laughed and continued, "This is a climbing rose. The flowers aren't very big, about the size of two coins. When it climbs all over the wall and bursts into bloom, it's truly a magnificent sight, so pleasing to the eye..."

Almost no woman dislikes flowers and plants, and He Lian'er could already picture them in her mind.

"I'll discuss it with Xiao An later. I'll go back to Qing'an County after Qingming Festival. I want to stay at home and see the roses climbing all over the walls of my sister's yard!" He Lian'er said.

"That's easy. Just talk to Xiao An later, and he won't dare to refuse!" Yang Ruoqing walked over with a smile, followed by Luo Fengtang.

Luo Fengtang always maintained a calm demeanor, even towards his relatives, he would only offer a faint smile, always giving off an unapproachable feeling.

The most intimate and authentic side of Yang Ruoqing is always reserved for her alone.

"Sister, brother-in-law."

Xiao Hua and He Lian'er quickly stopped talking and turned around to greet Luo Fengtang and Yang Ruoqing.

Luo Fengtang nodded slightly.

His gaze lingered on the two of them for only two seconds as he greeted them before returning to Yang Ruoqing.

"Qing'er, you sisters chat for a while, I'll come back later."

Yang Ruoqing nodded with a smile, "Okay, go ahead!"

Luo Fengtang then left.

Xiao Hua and He Lian'er stood obediently to the side, not daring to make a sound.

Only after Luo Fengtang's figure left the small courtyard did the two of them catch their breath.

He Lian'er leaned close to Yang Ruoqing and joked, "Sister, did our arrival delay your discussion with your husband? I think he left early."

Xiao Hua smiled silently beside her, but her meaning was similar to He Lian'er's.

Yang Ruoqing smiled and glanced at the two of them. "Don't overthink it. Your brother-in-law already had things to do. It's just a coincidence that you came here."

"Come on, don't just stand at the door, come inside quickly."

Yang Ruoqing invited her two younger sisters/sisters-in-law into the house and greeted them.

"You two came together, is there something you need?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

If they didn't have something to do, they wouldn't have come together, even if they wanted to chat.

Both of them are busy, and their child is young, so they can't be apart. Besides, neither of them is like Xiaoduo; they don't like to visit other people's homes.

Sure enough, when Yang Ruoqing asked, Xiaohua and He Lian'er exchanged a smile, and He Lian'er said, "Sister-in-law, why don't you say it?"

Xiao Hua nodded, then said to Yang Ruoqing, "Sister, we came here for two things. First, Mother sent us to tell you that today is the Lantern Festival, and Da'an will be returning to Changhuaizhou tomorrow. Mother wants you to come over tonight for a reunion dinner."

Is Da'an going back to Changhuaizhou tomorrow?

Didn't you say you wouldn't go back until the end of January? Going back early, is it for the sake of Ruan Xiaowei and her child?
Damn it!
"Judging from what you just said, aren't you going back together?" Yang Ruoqing asked Xiaohua casually.

Xiao Hua shook her head: "Feng'er and his father will go back together. I'll take Fuwa and Jun'er with me and leave after the first month of the lunar calendar. Hmm... the second day of the second month is the Dragon Raises Its Head, which is also our mother's birthday. I'll wait until you've celebrated your birthday before I leave."

"Alright," Yang Ruoqing said. "Let's talk about the second thing."

Xiaohua continued, "The second thing is that Dad told us to ask my sister."

"What's up?"

“Father said that in a few days the kitchen in the old house will be completed. According to the custom, married daughters should return to their parents’ home to give gifts for the kitchen.”

"The fourth and fifth branches have already informed their daughters. Father asked us to come and inform you."

Yang Ruoqing smiled somewhat helplessly: "Grandpa and Grandma are really something, making such a fuss over setting up a small stove. Do they even need to give gifts? Tsk tsk, don't they find it troublesome for others!"

It's not like they've officially separated and started a new household. The old couple just built a tiny stove for cooking and making tea, but they still have to ask their daughters to send them gifts.
