It was four days later that Ru Yue returned to the village. When her carriage appeared at the village entrance, some people had already come out to watch, attracted by the sound of horse hooves. Seeing the horses galloping non-stop straight to the end of the village, everyone was no longer surprised.

As soon as they arrived at the door of the house, Uncle Qi knew that his family had returned as soon as he saw the carriage, and hurriedly opened the door. Nanny Qin and little Ruxue also came out. Chu Ningan got out of the carriage and raised his hand to help Ruyue get out.

"Sister, sister!" Little Ruxue broke free from Nanny Qin's hand and ran towards Ruyue. The cry of "sister" finally turned into a wailing sound. The little girl was really sad. Ruyue walked up to her quickly and hugged her, holding her tightly in her arms.

"Xue'er, be good and don't cry. It's sister's fault. It's all sister's fault." She didn't miss her family much when she was busy outside, but when she saw how her relatives treated her, she realized how important they were to her.

"Hello, sister. Sister is the best. Wow, sister is doing everything for me and my brother to have a good life. Wow, hello, sister!"

Ruxue's tears were like beads that had broken off a string, sliding down her face in big drops, and Ruyue's tears followed suit. The two sisters just hugged each other and cried in the yard, which made everyone feel sad. It made people think that Ruyue was only a child of fourteen or fifteen years old, and the livelihood of the whole family fell on her shoulders. It was just because this girl was so independent and powerful that everyone ignored her age.

Chu Ning'an helped Ruyue and Ruxue up and gently held them in his arms. "Don't cry anymore. It's cold outside. Be careful not to catch a cold."

He took Ruxue from Ruyue and held her in his arms.

"Wow, brother-in-law, I want my sister, wow..." She hugged Chu Ning'an's neck, but still held Ru Yue's hand and refused to let go.

The group returned to the main hall in a strange posture. Ruxue slowly stopped crying and only sobbed occasionally. Ruyue held her in her arms and touched her little bun from time to time, making her tilt her head back and pout.

Nanny Qin reported to her all the major and minor events in the family during this period. There was nothing difficult to deal with, and in a blink of an eye, it was dusk.

"Miss, take a rest. I'll go cook dinner. The young master will be back soon." Nanny Qin looked at Ru Yue's tired face, and a trace of reluctance crossed her heart. To a girl who was almost her own daughter's age, she had to be honest. Her daughter looked like a servant, but she had a good master, so it wasn't that hard. But what about her daughter? Outsiders might see the glory, but how many people knew the bitterness and hardship?

Nanny Qin put aside her sentimental thoughts and took the two little maids, Hua Hao and Yue Yuan, to the kitchen in the back.

At dinner time, Anping came back and the deep sister-brother love was again revealed, with mutual care and comfort. However, what Ru Yue said gave everyone a new understanding.

"Sister, our family is doing very well now. Besides... besides, you... you are a girl, so you don't have to work so hard. I will study hard and grow up quickly. Then I can support you and Xue'er." Anping said hesitantly while sitting opposite Ru Yue.

Everyone in the family looked at Anping at the same time. Ruyue's heart sank. She glanced at Anping subtly and asked casually, "Sister knows, but did anyone say anything to you?"

"No... no one said anything, it's just... I just think it's too hard for my sister." He spoke in a lower voice, and an unnatural guilty look appeared on his face.

"Is there anything else?" There was no fluctuation in her voice, but it gave people an indescribable coldness.

"No...no more, sister, I..." An Ping noticed his sister's coldness and looked up. His sister's disappointment frightened him. "Sister, I just...I just don't want you to suffer. Really."

Chu Ning'an couldn't help but frown. It seemed that everyone was busy with their own affairs during this period and neglected the education of Anping, so that he actually had other thoughts. He couldn't help but look at Ru Yue, and his heart felt as if it was being twisted.
