Li Haitang has always had the idea to develop in Kyoto. After all, it is the capital of Daqi, and its prosperity is evident.

Her plan was to be in a few years, but because of her identity, she had to move forward.

Li Haitang had no choice but to pack up her things and leave Beidi with a small baggage. Who said she owed this to the original owner of her body? Destined not to live an ordinary life.

"Cousin, please think clearly. The fifth son's surname is Ruan. If you don't take him back, he won't be included in the family tree..."

Li Haitang tried to persuade him. After all, genealogy was too important for a wealthy family. To put it bluntly, if the Ruan family did not recognize it and adopted a non-recognition attitude, Xiao Wuzi would become a bastard despised by everyone.

Fortunately, this is a border town, and the people around him don't know much about Ruan Pingzhi's origins, so they don't look at people with colored glasses.

"I think very clearly, I will not go back."

Ruan Pingzhi took a deep breath and took a long time to calm down. He understood the truth, but in Beidi, he could feel what freedom meant and live his life the way he wanted.

When he returned to Kyoto, he would have to have a tough time with the Ruan family. If his grandfather and grandmother caught his weakness, they would definitely find him another step-in-law, but he really didn't have such thoughts now.

"Cousin, I think too narrowly."

Li Haitang smiled, and then said, "You are right, if people are suppressed everywhere and have no freedom, just like cash puppets, what's the point?"

After she received the letter from her eldest brother, she had been a little worried. Going to Kyoto would be a lot for her to face.

"Haitang, just remember that you don't owe the Ruan family, and neither does your aunt. Therefore, if the Ruan family has any unreasonable demands, you can just turn around and leave without caring about human kindness at all."

After all, relatives who have not been seen for more than ten years are very unfamiliar with each other, and the young Ruan family has to use Li Haitang's identity as a raft, which might cause trouble.

"Cousin, don't worry about this. I have Zhuangzi in Kyoto, and we will live directly in Zhuangzi."

Li Haitang lowered his eyes, and she still had to thank Zhang Ruyi in her heart. She knew from Li Duanji that if she wanted to buy a decent farm in a good area of ​​Kyoto, it was not just about having money, but also having power behind her.

Zhang Ruyi only received a small amount of money. The farm was half sold and half given away, and a way was opened for her.

Aunt Chen's family is still waiting in Kyoto, and Li Duanjie and the others are also there, but they decided to go to Beijing suddenly, and it might be too late to send the letter now.

"On the sixth day of June, Yun Jinghong is getting married?"

Ruan Pingzhi got the news from Lu Yuanqing and felt very unhappy. Although the death of his sister Ruan Mianmian had little to do with Yun Jinghong, he still couldn't help but express his anger.

If it weren't for the engagement between the Ruan family and the Yun family, Ruan Mianmian would never have thought of coming to the north. If he hadn't blindly come to the border town, he wouldn't have died tragically.

He finally transported the body back and couldn't even enter Ruan's house.

"Um."

Li Haitang replied briefly, feeling helpless. If he really wanted to express his anger, if his cousin hadn't come to the camp in the north of the city to cause trouble, causing Yun Jinghong and Liusu to misunderstand, he might not have reached this point.

Everything is fate, nothing is up to you.

After Ruan Pingzhi figured it out, he sighed heavily and stopped talking.

The border town was in a mess. He planned to take his son with him to Lucheng. Lushan Academy was a good place.

He went to the academy to be an ordinary teacher, and let his fifth son study in the academy. The father and son had an arrangement for food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Otherwise, he would be alone, and it would not be appropriate to find a maid or a mother-in-law. If he stayed in the border town, he would have to be watched by those older ladies, and he would not be able to get meals from his cousin's house.

"After all, you don't want to find someone who knows both coldness and warmth?"

Thinking of Ma Bihe, Li Haitang decided to make a last-ditch effort. If her cousin continued to be in trouble, she had no other choice.

"No, I don't want Xiao Wuzi to feel wronged."

Ruan Pingzhi shook his head decisively. Most women were like Wang, gentle on the surface but with vicious thoughts behind them. If it doesn't crawl out of your own belly, who can you expect to be sincere?

He had seen too many high-ranking people in Kyoto, and there was always something he couldn't take care of. If the stepmother was harsh on his son, as a sensible little boy, he would definitely hold back and say nothing.

Ruan Pingzhi himself didn't care, but the fifth child had endured hardships in Heishui Village for several years and finally recognized his relatives. As a father, he must take responsibility.

If he really meets a woman he really wants to marry in the future, he will consider this issue carefully.

"If so, will it be good for Xiao Wuzi?"

Li Haitang held his chin, feeling that it was outrageous for the father and son to live like this. Xiao Wuzi's clothes and shoes were made by several maids at home. When she left, except for Bai Bing, who was recovering from his injuries, and Bai Shuang, who was taking care of her sister, they couldn't go with her, so everyone left.

Where is Lushan Academy? Because of his younger brother, Li Haitang was very prejudiced against him.

What she meant was that if you don't want to get married, you can just buy a couple and be married. The man can do some work chopping firewood and running errands, and the woman can stay in the kitchen. It's best to be an old couple, so there will be less trouble.

"I still can't trust people."

Ruan Pingzhi understood the temptation in her cousin's words, although she didn't say it openly.

In fact, Ma Bihe came to see her in Majia Village and confessed her thoughts to him.

However, he refused almost without thinking, and he still has no regrets to this day.

Ma Bihe is a good girl, which is true, but they are not familiar with each other, and he has no idea about her.

After leaving the Ruan family, Ruan Pingzhi was just a poor scholar. Although he had the reputation of being a civil servant, he could not do much and could only make ends meet. He still had a son to support.

He couldn't do anything when Ma Bihe married him, and he only had his little son in his heart, which was unfair to her.

People always want more after they get it. After Ruan Pingzhi passed by the Wang family again, he left a shadow on those seemingly considerate women.

Seeing this, Li Haitang didn't want to persuade him and went back to his room to pack his bags.

"Madam, Miss Ma is here. She is in the carriage at the door. She said she couldn't come in at this late hour. Please come to the carriage and talk for a while."

Ging Guo opened the door curtain and came in, saying softly.

If you really say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here!

Li Haitang put down the clothes in his hands, brushed his hair in front of the bronze mirror, and then went out.

It was already dark, and most of the people on the streets had fallen asleep, with only a few houses lighting dim oil lamps.

There is a lantern hanging under the big tree in front of the house, just enough to light up the way to the door.

When Li Haitang went out, he saw Ma Bihe waving her hand from the car window, "Haitang, get in the car!"

"Here, give this to Liusu for me. This is my gift to her for getting married." Ma Bihe held a beautiful small sandalwood box in her hand, which was carved with exquisite patterns and was worth a lot of money at a glance.
