The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

"What’s the matter?"

Through the mirror, she saw that his gaze was fixed on the box of pink jade, sparking her curiosity.

"Do you remember I told you that the original stone for this box of pink jade was a gift from someone?"

"Mhm, I remember, didn’t you say you saved someone? And that person came from the border and had their own jade mine."

"That person might very well be the Emperor!"

"Ah?"

Yang Chuxia’s eyes widened in surprise. Was this person lucky or not? How could someone he casually saved turn out to be the Emperor?

"Wait, what do you mean he might be the Emperor? You’re not sure?"

So Ye Zi’an recounted to Yang Chuxia what had happened in the main hall and the final words he exchanged with the Emperor.

By the time he finished, Yang Chuxia understood.

"This matter, although I don’t know what the Emperor intends, one thing is certain: the person you saved must be him. Otherwise, why would he grant our son both a name and a reward? As for why he didn’t make it clear, he probably had other concerns. Anyway, no matter what, this is a good thing for us. Just for the sake of the life-saving favor alone, if something happens in the future, it could save your life."

"Mhm"

That morning, just after Ye Zi’an had mentioned that the young man named Li Ao should be kept at a distance, Yang Chuxia hadn’t even had time to tell Yang Qingrui about it when something happened at the Yang Family, leading Yang Qingrui to take the initiative to stay away from Li Ao.

The situation was as follows: because the Li Family hadn’t been eradicated previously, Luo Linhao had continually been ordered to pretend as if his eye still couldn’t see. However, as time went on, it seemed like he became addicted to pretending to be blind.

Now that the Li Family had been eradicated, he still wore the eye patch and refused to take it off. Moreover, he even had someone specially make him a red eye patch, feeling that it looked cooler than the black one, so he wore it every day.

Having lived in Yangshu Village for so many years, he had a very good brotherly relationship with Yang Qingrui. Hearing that the two had asked for leave to return home, he naturally wanted to join them for fun.

That’s when he encountered Li Ao and Qian Jiang. Initially, the conversation among the few men was not very harmonious, but with Qingtong and Qian Jiang chiming in with humorous interjections, it was bearable.

But gradually, for some reason, the situation escalated to a point where Li Ao and Luo Linhao started quarreling.

Luo Linhao then insulted Li Ao, calling him pretentious and ignorant—he was simply a show-off.

Li Ao, in turn, called Luo Linhao a blind man, criticizing him for being one-eyed.

Luo Linhao, holding to the principle of being a tough guy, decided not to argue with a weak scholar and chose to hold his tongue for the time being.

But someone couldn’t hold back, and that was Yang Xiayun, who had come along with Luo Linyu.

Without a second thought, he charged forward, "Who are you calling blind? Who are you calling blind? Say one more word and I’ll hit you, believe it or not?"

Instantly, the group around them was taken aback.

"You... are simply unreasonable, you shrew!" Knowing that Yang Xiayun was Yang Qingrui’s sister, Li Ao initially intended to restrain himself but couldn’t help blurting out the insult.

Luo Linhao narrowed his eyes upon hearing it, "Who are you calling a shrew? Arguing with a young lady, you truly dishonor the stature of a scholar." Later on, Luo Linhao and Li Ao came to blows.

Li Ao was naturally no match for Luo Linhao and stormed off on the spot, with Yang Qingrui unable to hold him back.

When Yang Chuxia and Ye Zi’an arrived, Li Ao had already left, and Qian Jiang, seeing this, felt it was inappropriate to stay any longer and also took his leave.

Seeing Yang Xiayun standing to the side, puffing up with anger, Yang Chuxia was taken aback, for she couldn’t shake the feeling that this all seemed eerily familiar.
