"When she likes you, she really likes you. Even if you say an angry word, she is willing to die for you."
"You're right. If she were pestered by a stupid husband, she wouldn't be happy and would hide away."
"So, she has forgiven you for your past actions and no longer cares about them."
"Wait a moment……"
Mu Zichuan suddenly interrupted Yang Ruoqing's words.
"Why did you use 'her'? In the past or now, wasn't it you?"
he asked doubtfully.
Yang Ruoqing was startled.
She used 'she' on purpose.
To speak for the departed soul.
"After I drowned myself in a pond, I came back from the dead and was cured of my madness."
she explained.
"For me, this is a new life. So, the past is the past, and the present is now."
"The Yang Ruoqing who liked you is no longer here."
"The Yang Ruoqing standing in front of you now is a brand new Yang Ruoqing."
"Except for this body and identity being the same as before, everything else is new."
"Can you understand?" she asked.
Mu Zichuan looked at her with a complicated expression, as if he was trying to absorb the profound things in her words.
"It doesn't matter whether I understand or not," he said.
"No matter if you are new or old, I just want to know, is it too late for me to be nice to you now?" he asked.
Yang Ruoqing was a little bit dumbfounded.
"Mu Zichuan, don't you think your question is ridiculous?" she said.
"If I heard correctly, my mother will send a matchmaker to my second uncle in a few days to propose marriage."
"You want to marry my cousin, and you still say such things to me? Are you too greedy?" she asked.
Mu Zichuan shook his head.
In desperation, he almost revealed his mother and Ga Po's plan to "fake marriage".
After thinking about it, he still held back.
"The proposal of marriage is my mother's wish and has nothing to do with me!" he said.
"Yang Ruolan is my mother's chosen daughter-in-law."
"My favorite candidate is you, Yang Ruoqing!"
Hearing his powerful confession, Yang Ruoqing smiled even more happily.
"I don't share toothbrushes and men."
she said.
"Also, I don't like 'Niangbao'. A man must have his own thoughts."
The person who sleeps under the same quilt with your significant other for a lifetime is you, not your mother.
Your own feelings are the most important.
But Mu Zichuan frowned, obviously not agreeing with Yang Ruoqing's words.
"The body, hair, and skin are affected by the parents. Today's Holy Master governs the world with filial piety."
"I obey my mother's arrangements. This is filial piety. Besides, it is orthodox for a man to have three wives and four concubines!"
Even if you don't marry Yang Ruolan, even if you, Qing'er, are your first wife.
In the future, when I rise to prominence and become an official and engage in politics, I will definitely have many wives and concubines!
Yang Ruoqing understood what Mu Zichuan meant from his words.
She is not angry.
real.
Mu Zichuan's thoughts are the mainstream thoughts of this era.
Men are superior to women, men have three wives and four concubines, and women are just men's vassals.
No matter how much I like you, it's just to give you more love.
It's impossible to give up and break those rules for you.
"Mu Zichuan, as I said before, I thank you for your love for me."
"But, I can't accept it..."
"Is it because of Luo Fengtang?" he asked.
Yang Ruoqing pondered for a moment.
Mu Zichuan continued: "Everything is subject to change, Qing'er, as long as you are willing to give me a message, I am willing to wait!"
"Luo Fengtang, he is illiterate and destined to dig in the dirt."
"You won't have a good life following a man like that."
"You will be separated sooner or later, I trust my own judgment!"
He said firmly.
Yang Ruoqing was startled.
I don’t understand where Mu Zichuan’s strong self-confidence comes from?
Also, can you not push Luo Fengtang down every time you elevate yourself?
Yang Ruoqing shook her head: "A good horse never turns back. When I broke off the engagement with you, I had no intention of going back."
"Even without Luo Fengtang, I wouldn't be like you."
"Besides, now that he is here, it is even more impossible between you and me!"
"Even if you are willing to wait and be a spare tire, I don't need it!"
Muzichuan's body shook violently as if struck by lightning.
The book tucked under his arm fell to his feet with a clatter.
He didn't pick it up either.
He stood there with a tense face and dark clouds on his face.
Yang Ruoqing ignored his changed expression and continued to finish her words.
"You don't know Luo Fengtang, and you don't know what kind of person he is."
"He is hard-working, down-to-earth, and smart. He also has a progressive heart."
"He is not worse than you, he just lost at the starting line with you."
"But I believe that sooner or later, he will definitely achieve something. I, Yang Ruoqing, have never been wrong in my judgment of people!"
Mu Zichuan said nothing and stared at her silently.
His mouth was pressed into a straight line, and his nails dug into the flesh of his palms.
It hurts!
"Now that the chatter box is open, I will simply explain it clearly to you."
"Over at Da'an, if you really appreciate him, I won't prevent you from communicating in private."
"If you don't want to waste time with him anymore, you don't have to teach him."
"In the spring of next year, I will send him to elementary school. Thank you for taking care of my brother these days."
After saying that, she turned around and returned to the village without looking back.
Along the way, Yang Ruoqing was thinking about this matter.
She felt that because of her words, Mu Zichuan would never teach Daan again.
Daan's career of secretly studying has to end early.
This is undoubtedly a loss to Daan.
However, she does not regret her actions.
She didn't want to deceive Muzichuan's feelings.
I don't want him to go further and further down an imaginary road.
Even if he gave all his money to Daan.
She gave him gratitude and moved him, but she couldn't give him the emotion he wanted!
Since the ending is destined to leave him disappointed, it would be better to make it clear in advance.
Arriving at home soon.
In the room, Daan was sitting at the table, writing seriously.
Yang Ruoqing came over, and Daan quickly covered the paper.
Yang Ruoqing said: "Don't cover it up, I know all the secrets between you and Mu Zichuan."
"ah?"
Daan was stunned.
Yang Ruoqing sat down at the table and roughly told Daan the content of her previous conversation with Mu Zichuan.
This younger brother is only eight years old.
But this thought is deeper and more mature than that of children of the same age.
Yang Ruoqing knew he could understand.
"Da'an, my sister has caused you to suffer losses, I'm sorry!"
She finally said with some apology.
Daan listened carefully and thought seriously for a while.
Then, his brows widened.
"Sister, I don't blame you." He said.
"Actually, these past few days, I've been secretly learning to read from Brother Zichuan, and I'm also very confused."
"What are you struggling with?" Yang Ruoqing asked.
Da'an said: "I know clearly that Brother Zichuan taught me for you, sister."
