Zhou Wang leaned against the bed, watching the two children eat with relish and oil stains on their mouths. Zhou Wang's eyes were full of satisfaction, and his heart was filled with even more gratitude for Yang Ruqing and Luo Fengtang's thoughtfulness and care.

As soon as Yang Ruqing walked to the entrance of the clinic, she was met with the dazzling sunlight of a summer day.

She raised her hand to rest on her forehead, squinting to look around.

Although the sun was scorching, the street was still bustling with people coming and going.

To make a living, everyone is struggling and persevering. Though the dead have gone, their sins haven't vanished. Those who live must continue on, and those who need to atone, must do so!

Taking a deep breath, Yang Ruqing felt an unparalleled lightness and spaciousness in her chest. Because she lived her life and did things without any guilt!

The street was bustling with people, crowded and full of life. Should I go left or right?

At this moment, a warm hand clasped hers. A familiar voice rang in her ear: “I just knew you'd be here waiting for me.”

Yang Ruqing turned her head and glanced at Luofengtang, sweetly smiling: "Let's go, today we won't go to the tavern, come with me for a walk by the moat." Let me know if you have more text you'd like me to translate! ?

Because she knew Luo Daye was at the clinic, Yang Ruqing didn't go to the clinic for the rest of the day.

But after walking along the riverbank and having lunch, Yang Ruoqing stayed in the restaurant to take a nap. She shared a watermelon and sour plum soup with Cao Baimei, chatting to beat the summer heat.

While Luofengtang only drank a bowl of sour plum soup and rushed to the doctor's office.

Because this afternoon Luo Tiejiang should bring Luoda E to the yamen to claim Zhou Xia's body, and then send it to Shen Family Funeral Home.

Yang Ruqing didn't want to go, and Luofengtang didn't hope she would go either, so she stayed at the tavern to rest.

"Qing'er, what you said was a bit harsh, most people couldn't stand it, but it was also reasonable. After all, that's the reality!" Cao Baimei said as she sipped her sour plum soup.

Let me tell you, if those families of the victims hadn't come looking for her, your Auntie Da-e should have just chanted "Amitabha Buddha" and wouldn't even dare to feel sad for someone like Zhou Xia. Even if she was sad, she should hide and cry silently because Zhou Xia... well, I don't want to criticize her anymore. Giving her a quick death would be too merciful.

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

Yang Ruqing nodded.

"I brought her soup today, and I heard her crying pitifully. She sounded so pitiful and wronged, like Zhou Xia was the most unfortunate person in the world. Hmph, if I don't make things clear, she'll never know what's going on! She thinks everyone should be comforting and coddling her? She's dreaming!"

Cao Baimei gave Yang Ruqing a thumbs up. "You're awesome, you nailed that 'villain' role."

Yang Ruqing sighed, "Actually, I don't want to get involved in this matter. Many years ago, I made it clear that anything related to Zhou Xia should not be told to me,"

"But this old heaven, intentionally against me, pulled us together with all its might. Fortunately, Brother Zhou Wang and Xiaohuan are sensible people."

The two chatted, the heat intense, as they gazed at the blazing sun outside.

"With this kind of heat, Zhou Xia's body must be rotting by now, right?" Caobaimei asked again.

Yang Ruqing said: "It's kept in the yamen, chilled with ice."

This is all face for Luofeng Tang.

It was kept chilled because it was meant for Luo Dade to have a last look.

If it were any other prisoner, they would have been thrown into a mass grave long ago, or burned to ashes.

Cao Baimei said: "Zhou Xia has been dead for two days and two nights. Even if she's kept on ice, I doubt she'll be much better."

“Especially being sent to Shen's funeral parlor, the sun was scorching on the way... I can’t even describe it, if I keep talking I might even throw up.”

Yang Ruqing rolled her eyes at Cao Baimei: "As a pregnant woman, you'd better focus on things that don't upset your stomach. Otherwise, you won't be able to eat and the baby in your tummy will kick you!"

Speaking of the baby in her belly, Cao Bama's face immediately turned from gloomy to bright, filled with sunshine and smiles.

">There are more than five months left until I give birth. Time is moving so slowly..."

Yang Ruqing couldn't help but lean in and reach out to gently touch Cao Babai's abdomen.

I couldn't help but laugh.

The Creator is truly amazing. With the demise of one life, a new one is born.

One wave after another, one crop after another, just like that leeks.

New life brings new hope, and new joy.

“This child is well-brought up; he will surely become a promising person!” Yang Ruqing said.

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

Cao Baimei smiled softly: "This is a must. Raising a child is like planting a tree. A sapling can't be crooked. If it's crooked from a young age, the more it grows, the more crooked it becomes. Your elder brother and I will definitely teach him well and won't disgrace our Yang family."

When the sun set, Luofengtang returned.

"How's it going? Are things still going smoothly?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

Looking at him run, his whole head was covered in sweat, and his back was soaking wet.

Luo Fengtang nodded, "I'll go take a shower first, freshen up, and then we can talk."

"Alright, I've found some clothes for you. I'll go prepare a bath for you." Yang Ruqing turned to head towards the bathing room but was called back by Luo Fengtang.

He had originally reached out a hand to her, but then thought better of it and withdrew it.

"I'm fine on my own. You can just sit outside, Qinger. I'll talk to you when I come out."

After saying that, he plunged into the bathroom.

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

Yang Ruqing waited at the door, blinking a few times.

Why did this person rush to take a shower right after coming back outside?

>

Well, it must be that I'm sweating too much and afraid of making her uncomfortable. Thinking about this, she curled her lips into a smile. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

While he was taking a shower, she quickly prepared a chilled watermelon and sour plum soup for him.

As soon as she imagined him coming in from the cold and immediately drinking something so ice-cold, she knew his stomach wouldn't be able to handle it. Cooling down and rehydrating had to be done step by step, so she turned around and brewed him a cup of hot tea, leaving it to cool there.

The sound of running water and a faint fragrance drifted from the shower room.

Yang Ruqing smelled that it was the scent of shampoo.

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

It seems like Tang Ya Zi is going to have a thorough wash today, from her hair to her toes. It'll probably take about half an hour.

Having thought this through, Yang Ruohong decided to go to the big kitchen and tell them what to make for dinner.

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

Dinner was ready, Yang Ruqing walked back to her room briskly and just saw Luofeng Tang come out of the bathroom.

He changed into a clean set of clothes, and his hair was dried. He looked refreshed and spirited, with an air of youthful vigor.

He was surprised to see Yang Ruqing walk in from outside.

"Where did you go?" he asked gently.

Yang Ruqing raised her hand and pointed behind her: "Go tell them to prepare dinner!"

Luo Fengtang nodded and came to the table to sit down.

Yang Ruqing also came to his side, "It must be sweltering hot for half the day, right? Here, have some chilled watermelon and sour plum soup to cool you down."

Luo Fengtang's gaze fell on the table.

In a delicate porcelain dish, chunks of watermelon with red flesh and green rind were neatly arranged.

Around the edge, there was a circle of ice.

That ice, each piece about the size of a thumb, was crystal clear and silvery.

If this had happened on an ordinary day, even just two days ago, he would have found it delightful and whetted his appetite.

But at this moment, his stomach churned violently. He couldn't help but turn his head away, his brow furrowed.
