Mo Xiuzhi shyly lowered her head and responded.
Seeing that she agreed, Mo Shaoxing was very happy and fetched a silver tael from his clothing, “Xiuzhi, keep this silver well and use it to buy some medicine for your aunt tomorrow.”
Mo Xiuzhi, who had been worrying about not having silver to buy medicine for her mother tomorrow, was touched by the sight of Mo Shaoxing holding out the silver, “Brother Xing, you are so kind. Helping me at my most difficult time, I will be grateful to you for my whole life.”
“Silly girl, take it.” Mo Shaoxing took her hand, placed the silver in her palm, and closed it, speaking with deep affection, “Once I pass the Juren exam, I will definitely have my father propose marriage at your home. Then, we can be together forever.”
“Your father seems to not like me.” The words of the village head still lingered in Mo Xiuzhi’s mind, making her worry.
“Don’t worry, my father listens to me the most. If I insist, he will surely not object.”
“Hmm.”
Mo Xiuzhi was finally reassured.
The two of them were affectionate in the room as if no one else existed until Mo Shaoxing took his leave to go back.
Mo Xiuzhi leaned against the door, gazing dreamily at Mo Shaoxing’s fading figure, imagining the day he would pass the Juren exam and take her as his wife. Wouldn’t she then become an official’s wife, living a life of wealth and worry-free? With these thoughts, a blissful smile spread across her face.
“Xiuzhi, Xiuzhi.”
Suddenly, a faint voice came from inside the room.
Mo Xiuzhi came back to her senses and turned around to see her mother.
At that moment, Madam Ruan’s swollen face was hardly recognizable, and her thick lips were slightly quivering, making a faint sound.
“Mother, what’s wrong? Are you in a lot of pain? Don’t be afraid, your daughter will apply the ointment immediately, and it will stop hurting soon.” Mo Xiuzhi hurried back to the bedside, picked up the ointment Doctor Xu had left, and intended to apply it to Madam Ruan.
Unexpectedly, Madam Ruan tightly grasped her hand and asked intermittently, “My girl, just how far have you and Scholar Mo gone? Don’t lie to me; tell me the truth.”
Though Madam Ruan’s words were muffled, Mo Xiuzhi got the gist and suddenly understood. It seemed that her conversation with Mo Shaoxing had been overheard by her mother, causing her face to flush instantly.
“Mother.”
“Speak.”
Mo Xiuzhi, with her head lowered, avoiding Madam Ruan’s gaze, answered indirectly, “He said he will marry me in the future.”
“I…I am asking to what extent your relationship has developed?”
