The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space Chapter 2452: Someone Died (Part 4)

"It's absolutely normal," Yang Ruxin assured, gently pinching Li Xiang's cheek. "If you were to travel to the county by yourself right now, you'd likely feel a bit nervous, let alone venturing into a completely unfamiliar territory without any family by your side."

"Since you say it's normal, then it must be. I hesitate to admit these feelings to others; I'm afraid they'll accuse me of not cherishing my good fortune, having found a decent husband's family and still worrying unnecessarily." Li Xiang sighed deeply. "These past few days, I've been so on edge that I can barely sleep; just look at these dark circles under my eyes."

"You really are a silly girl." Yang Ruxin clasped Li Xiang's hand. "Always remember, your husband's family is formidable, in no way inferior to the Xie Family. Once you arrive, fulfill your duties diligently. People from prominent families often wear masks; don't be overly trusting. Don't mistreat anyone, but if someone dares to bully you, retaliate with double the force. I absolutely refuse to let you suffer unfair injustices."

"Mm." Li Xiang reached out, embracing Yang Ruxin. "Thank you. Without your encouragement, I wouldn't have an ounce of confidence."

Yang Ruxin patted Li Xiang's back reassuringly. "It's fine, you possess ample confidence. Just remember, if you ever return home in tears after being bullied, I will personally berate them. I don't want timid sisters like that."

Li Xiang let out a peal of laughter, her spirits instantly brightening. "I promise I won't disgrace Madam Ruyi. Alright, I mustn't linger for a chat; I need to return and finish making shoes." She began to rise, but then suddenly paused. "Did you hear about what happened at the Ma Gouzi family's residence?"

Ever since issuing a warning to the village chief, Yang Ruxin had ceased monitoring the Ma Gouzi family. Their household simply wasn't significant enough to warrant the expenditure of manpower.

Due to her advanced stage of pregnancy, she rarely ventured into the village herself. Consequently, any news from there was typically relayed by Sanni and other neighborhood children after their school day concluded. It wasn't even school dismissal time yet.

As it happened, just this very morning, a death had occurred at the Ma Gouzi family's home.

The deceased was an elderly widower from Dong Family Village, a neighboring settlement. He had met his demise atop Wang Baozhu.

Yang Ruxin expressed surprise, her eyes widening. "How did they discover this?"

"Apparently, the old widower had come with a companion. They say the one who passed away suddenly stopped breathing while engaged with Wang Baozhu. The other individual fled the scene naked in sheer terror and was subsequently discovered," Li Xiang explained, pursing her lips. "You wouldn't believe the commotion; it's been chaotic there all morning."

"Let's go, we should investigate." Upon hearing this, Yang Ruxin stood up with haste. "I can manage a stroll." She glanced at Du Man. "You'd best not come; I'll recount all the details when I return."

Du Man's lips twitched slightly, resigned to the arrangement.

Her family couldn't permit Yang Ruxin to go alone. Thus, Dong Wenxiu and others accompanied her into the village.

Even from a distance, the sounds of an uproar could be heard.

Ma Gouzi's residence was tightly encircled by a throng of villagers. However, upon spotting Yang Ruxin, the crowd naturally parted to allow her passage.

Yang Ruxin found the situation both amusing and somewhat irritating. She was merely here to observe the unfolding spectacle, not to solve a crime, so why the deference?

"Xinxin, come over here; you can rest here." Aunt Xinghua and Aunt Ba, who were supporting the visibly pregnant Liang Xiaoyu, noticed Yang Ruxin's arrival and quickly beckoned her. "You're heavily pregnant; you shouldn't be standing for extended periods."

Dong Wenxiu and Feng Zilan assisted Yang Ruxin and guided her to a seat beside Xiaoyu.

"You all deserve to die!" Suddenly, Wang Baozhu's voice erupted hysterically from within the yard. "Believe it or not, I'll die right here to show you all!"
