“I went upstairs to get her down. When those people saw me, they wouldn't let me leave, saying they wanted me to go over and have a few drinks with them.”

“I never drink, and I wouldn’t greet male guests unless a woman was there. After all, men and women are different. Qing'er, what do you think?” Bao Suyun asked.

Yang Ruqing nodded, "Yes, whether it's you or Babo, I didn't actually ask you to greet the female guests. I asked you to stay with Fifth Uncle and Second Brother at the inn, so that you could take good care of them."

Bao Suyun said, "Qing'er, I understand your kindness. But your fifth uncle is the manager, and I am the manager's wife,"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated! ?

“Sometimes, when a group of female guests arrives, out of politeness I’ll go over and greet them. It's good manners, after all, and it might just encourage them to come back.” she said.

Yang Ruqing hummed in agreement. Auntie Wu and Eighth Sister were also contributing to the wine shop.

"Aunt Five, you continue speaking." she added.

Bao Suyun said, "Those guys wanted me to stay and drink with them. That was impossible, because those young masters didn't seem very respectable at all. Their eyes were leering."

“Your fifth uncle smoothed things over for me, saying I'm her daughter-in-law and can't drink. I have to go back and take care of the children.”

"Your fifth uncle said he came to drink with them and even offered a jar of plum blossom wine brewed by the inn itself, but those people didn't appreciate it, stubbornly stopping me from leaving."

“Someone came up and grabbed my hand. I don't know where I got the courage, but I slapped that person.”

Now they're freaking out, saying I beat up their Third Young Master. They immediately started causing a ruckus.

"Your fifth uncle has been so frustrated that he called the guards from the tavern. Those guys seemed like they wanted to show off their status, but that Third Young Master stopped them."

"At that time, there were few of them, and we still had a group of guards. They hurried away. When they left, the third young master threatened to smash our restaurant and capture me to sell me into a brothel."

“After they left, I told you and my fifth uncle that if things got too tough, we should go back to the village to lay low for a while,”

Your third uncle said that this kind of young master who comes out to pick on others just because his family has some money, he saw a lot of them in Lichi City before.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

“Your Uncle Three told me not to worry, saying that this young master is just an ordinary playboy, and the guards at our inn are enough to handle him.”

"If it’s someone of some standing in the county, wait until dawn and have him go to the Ning family and explain the situation. Ask the Ning family to look after her." Bao Suyun said this and paused for a moment.

Yang Ruqing saw an opportunity and interjected, "Has my fifth uncle gone to the Ning family?"

The Ning family is the Ning Su family. Because of the deep brotherhood between Luo Fengtang and Ning Su, and the close friendship between Yang Ruohua and Xiaoyu.

Tianxianglou is located in Qing'an County. The Ning family takes good care of it.

And Mr. Ning, Ning Su's father, held a position of considerable influence in the Ministry of War in Qing'an County.

So over the past two years, the wine shop in the county has gotten along well with both sides of the law. Everything is done according to the rules, and everyone makes a living amicably.

Hearing Yang Ruqing's question, Bao Suyun shook her head. "Before dawn, your fifth uncle went to the Ning family to talk about this matter. In the middle of the night, while all the guards were asleep, a group of people suddenly arrived outside,"

“Those people were so vicious, they had clubs and stuff, and they trashed our tavern to pieces,”

>

“Qinger, all those blue and white porcelain bottles and jars and the fabric flowers you used for decoration last time were ruined.”

“Your fifth uncle, seeing that something was amiss, hid me and the two children inside a secret compartment in the wall.”

“Your fifth uncle was captured by them. They want you to hand me over in exchange for your fifth uncle. Your fifth uncle refused, so they beat him severely!”

"They've finished, tell your fifth uncle, they're giving him two days to hand me over to that Third Young Master as an apology."

"...otherwise, the government will shut down this tavern of ours and arrest your Uncle Five for tax evasion..."

"When they were gone, your fifth uncle took me and the two children. We didn't even have time to pack our clothes and rushed out the back door."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

“We didn't have time to seek refuge at the Ning residence. We jumped into the carriage and raced home as fast as we could, terrified they would catch us.”

“Your fifth uncle had a finger chopped off, and his body was covered in wounds. He managed to make it to near the city of Wanghai before collapsing from exhaustion.”

"I had no choice but to send him to the clinic first for treatment. As luck would have it, I ran into an acquaintance, someone I knew. He was Tang YaZi's sworn brother, Xu Mang."

“Xu Mang is really a good person. I entrusted my child to him and asked him to go home with us to tell you, so you came right away…”

Here is the translation of " <<<

Yang Ruqing nodded: "Xu Ge's character is beyond reproach. He is the kind of person who would gladly give his life for his brothers."

Luo Fengtang also hummed in response.

"My uncle, my second and third older brothers and I only found out about Fifth Uncle's situation last night because we met Big Brother Xu. Otherwise, in the pitch black, we truly wouldn't have known where to go looking." he said.

Bao Suyun said again, "In this world, there are many bad people, but there are also good people."

"Xu Gege is like this, and President Wang is also like this!"

“We didn't have any extra rooms here last night. When Chairman Wang recognized your nephew, he immediately converted his own resting room into a ward for your Uncle Five to stay in!”

Upon hearing Bao Suyun's words, Yang Ruohua looked around the room.

No wonder the bed in this room is bigger than the other hospital beds, and it has a soft mattress. There's also a table and a few chairs over there.

"As for Brother Xu and President Wang, both Yaoqing and I have a good understanding of the situation," Yang Ruohua said.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Of course, Xu Gege and Luo Fengtang's friendship needless to say.

President Wang must be repaying Yang Ruqing for the medicine matter last time. Last time he ran out of stock, it was Yang Ruqing who helped him.

"Auntie Wu, Uncle Wu, to cut to the chase, do you know who those people are? Especially that Third Young Master. He's arrogant with his words and even more so with his actions. What's his background?" Yang Ruqing asked.

Luo Fengtang's face also turned serious, staring intently at Bao Suyun and Yang Huazhou.

Bao Suyun shook her head in confusion. Yang Huazhou finally opened his mouth with difficulty at this time.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

“The Third Young Master, it’s…it’s the Third Young Master of the Cao family from Yingchuan!” he said.

It's the Cao family of Yingchuan again?

Yang Ruoqing was stunned, looking at Luofeng Tang. There was the same astonishment in his eyes.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"How come there are Cao family members everywhere? Are these people out to get us recently? They're haunting me!" Yang Ruocheng grumbled.

Let's not talk about Tuo Balin's true identity being a branch of the Cao family from Yingchuan. The arrogant young mistress of the Cao family who fought in town the other day, and this time what happened with Fifth Uncle...

Oh, crap! This is really getting annoying!

"Qing'er, that Third Young Master said he wants to close our wine shop in the county. What should we do?" Yang Huaizhou on the sickbed asked with worry.

"That Third Young Master, he's really ruthless. When he chopped off my finger, he said it was just interest."

"...turn your aunt over to me within two days, or else..."

Yang Huazhou was trembling with anger and fear. He had lost too much blood, and now his face and lips were completely devoid of color.
