Chapter 1096: Longing (10)
"Hehe." Yang Ruxin waved her hand, "Since it’s not easy for you to have come, stay for the night. Tomorrow I’ll send a carriage to take you there. Oh, and Jiabao is not well, so let’s have him stay to recover. How about having Aunt Juanzi stay to take care of him as well? She can catch up with my mother, and after a few days, we’ll send them over... What do you think?"
Xun Juan opened her mouth as if to say something, but Nanny Li spoke first: "Then, thank you, Lady Xinxin. We’ve already owed you a great favor, so we won’t be coy about it. Don’t worry, we may not have much, but we’re willing to work hard. We’ll make sure to take care of everything you’ve entrusted us with..."
Dong Wenxiu was so happy that she pulled Xun Juan along, both of them grinning from ear to ear.
That night, Dong Wenxiu and Xun Juan shared a room and talked till the wee hours. They were still sleeping when the morning meal was ready. Yang Ruxin didn’t tell anyone to wake them up, instead, she hosted the San family for breakfast. Then she arranged for Du Yunpeng to personally escort them to Xiao Liu Village, which made Xun Juan very regretful when she got up.
"It’s nothing, your in-laws are reasonable people. Besides, it was me who kept you up chatting. If they have any complaints, they can come find me." Dong Wenxiu reassured Xun Juan with quite an air of authority.
Xun Juan couldn’t help but laugh: "Wenxiu, if you had been this assertive in the past, you wouldn’t have been worn down by her so badly..."
"Yes, I was too soft before, but luckily I had Ruxin looking out for me. Otherwise, this family would have definitely fallen apart by now..."
"You are truly blessed..."
Being busy doesn’t feel like anything, but when idle, Yang Ruxin felt an emptiness in her heart. She used to be able to lift her eyes and see a beautiful face or be suddenly embraced from behind while doing something... But now, that person was nowhere to be found.
It wasn’t until now that she realized how torturous it was to miss someone - truly enough to lose sleep and appetite.
"Big sister." At that moment, Erni came to knock on the door.
