For a long time, I couldn't come back to my senses.

"Qing'er, Qing'er, are you saying that that person...may be...still alive?"

Tuoba Xian grabbed Yang Ruoqing's hand, her voice trembling slightly.

Yang Ruoqing nodded: "I think so, sister-in-law, what do you think?"

She asked Xiao Yaxue, who was standing aside and listening silently.

Xiao Yaxuan was also immersed in Tuoba Xian's story, and quickly came back to her senses when she heard the question.

"I guess so. He should still be alive, but just hiding." Xiao Yaxue said.

Tuoba Xian looked at the two people in front of her, and then looked at the clear words on the stone tablet at her feet.

Cried with joy.

"God was wise and didn't let that unfaithful person die!"

"Okay, very good!"

"I am worried that I have nowhere to ask for justice. As long as you are alive, I will one day take my son with me to get back what you owe us, mother and son, with interest!"

Tuoba Xian gritted his teeth as he spoke.

But why did Yang Ruoqing hear so much excitement and relief?

Hey, my mother-in-law is really a duplicitous woman!

However, this trip was not in vain.

At least, I found a clue that my father-in-law is still alive.

When I go back and tell Tangyazi, he will definitely be very happy, Yang Ruoqing thought to herself.

I stood with Tuoba Xian beside the stone tablet for a long time and listened to some stories about her youth.

It's really touching.

It turns out that everyone has a story when they are young.

There is a period of youthful squandering...

It's just a pity that Tuoba Xian's story is destined to end in tragedy.

The best years of life have to be separated. One minute is nineteen years.

Why!

She has decided that no matter what kind of setbacks she and Tang Yazi encounter in the future, they will face them together!

…

The three of them stood by the water for a while, and finally covered the writing on the stone tablet with soil again.

Just as she was about to leave here and return to the city, Xiao Yaxue looked at the water over there, and her expression suddenly changed.

"Yeah, someone fell into the water!"

Following her voice, Yang Ruoqing and Tuoba Xian both looked over.

Tuoba Xian's expression tightened and she said: "It floated down from the upper reaches. I don't know whether it is dead or alive!"

"I can't swim, what should I do?" Xiao Yaxue said, and started looking for a pennies on the side.

"Don't look for Penny, I'll fish it for you!"

Yang Ruoqing said, pulling out a soft whip from her waist.

This soft whip was given by Zuo Junmo, specially for her to use.

The material used is very sophisticated. When not in use, just make a few circles and insert it around the waist. It doesn't look bulky, is soft, and doesn't irritate the skin at all.

When you need to use it, take it out and shake it out, it will be two meters long.

At this moment, Yang Ruoqing came to the water's edge with agility. When she guessed that the person in the water was floating down, she raised her arm and swung the whip.

He immediately wrapped his arms around the man's waist and dragged him to the shore.

She was a woman, even though her clothes were soaked in water and were loose, revealing her youthful beauty underneath.

However, the woman's pale, soaked hands tightly held a wooden box in her arms.

"It's a woman, she's not dead, she's still breathing!"

Yang Ruoqing checked the condition of the drowned woman and said loudly to Tuoba Xian and Xiao Yaxue over there.

Tuoba Xian said: "Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Let's take her back to the inn and talk about it!"

…

"It doesn't make sense. How can there be such a husband in the world? Your wife has fallen into the water, why don't you quickly find someone to salvage her? If we hadn't seen you, you would have drowned!"

In the guest room, after hearing the story of the woman who fell into the water, Xiao Yaxue was so angry that she slapped her hand on the table next to her.

"Sister-in-law, don't be impatient and just listen to Yun Niang!"

Yang Ruoqing sat aside and comforted Xiao Yaxue.

Earlier, they rescued the woman who fell into the water and changed her clothes.

The woman called herself Yun Niang, a native of the capital. She followed her husband by boat last night and wanted to return to her husband's hometown in the east.

In the middle of the journey, Yun Niang and her husband must have had some disputes.

Yun Niang was so angry that she jumped into the river holding her jewelry box.

He was washed away by the river to the Acropolis until he was picked up by himself.

"It's very common for husbands and wives to quarrel. Yun Niang, you threw yourself into the river in a fit of anger. Isn't that a little too impulsive?"

Yang Ruoqing lowered her gaze back to Yun Niang on the bed and asked softly.

Yun Niang sat back on the bed, her beautiful black hair hanging down, covering half of her face.

The half of the face that was exposed was horribly pale, almost like white paper, without even a trace of blood.

Hearing Yang Ruoqing's question, Yun Niang frowned in pain.

"My benefactor didn't know something. It's not that Yun Niang and I have a strong temper. I was really forced to have no other way out, so I threw myself into the river and committed suicide."

She said, her voice hoarse, obviously she had been soaked in the cold spring water for too long and had caught a cold.

"To be honest, I am the number one at the 'Xiangyu House', a brothel in the capital."

"The madam and I are good sisters who share the same love as brothers. We managed the Xiangyu House extremely well, and it once became the leading brothel in the capital."

"Although I enjoy the glory in front of others, I don't want to sink deeper and deeper into this path."

"I'm not afraid of your jokes. What I long for most, Yun Niang, is that one day I can find a husband I can trust for the rest of my life and be an ordinary woman again."

"Until one day, I met a scholar named Fang. He was a student who went to Beijing to take the exam."

"He behaved elegantly and had an extraordinary bearing. I fell in love with him at first sight, and we became engaged for life."

"In order to be with him, I did not hesitate to leave my good sister Hua. I took my savings over the years and left Xiangyu Tower with Mr. Fang."

"We rented a house in the capital, and he read, wrote, and prepared for the scientific examination."

"I make some knitting needlework. Although my income is meager, I can still live a comfortable life with the money I saved in the past."

"In this way, about a month passed in the calm days. One day, Young Master Fang suddenly received a letter from home."

"It was said that his mother died of illness and he had to rush back to attend the funeral."

"So I packed my bags and went with him, taking the waterway all the way down from the Capital Pier."

"On the way, I accidentally ran into him and the wife of the boatman who was on the same boat."

"I scolded him a few words, and he raised his hand and hit me."

" Along the way, his evil deeds were gradually exposed. His former gentleness and elegance turned out to be a mask. "

"I tolerate and retreat in every possible way, but I beg him to tolerate our old feelings."

"But he got even worse, humiliating me in every possible way, beating and scolding me..."

"Until last night, the ship docked at a pier near the Acropolis."

"He went out to fool around again and was very drunk when he came back. While beating and scolding me, he accidentally said something."

"It turns out that when he went to Xiangyu Tower to get close to me, it was just a trap."
