Chapter 116: Tuberculosis_1
"Auntie, didn’t you tell them the truth? I’m sorry, you asked me to endure just until today, but my mother fainted, and I didn’t sleep at all last night. In my haste, I gave in, I just couldn’t bear it anymore..." Yang Ruxin, while coughing violently, looked apologetically at Feng Caie, "Auntie, I know the dowry they offered is generous, but I’m really helpless..." As she spoke, tears even fell.
"How dare you, Feng Caie, are you trying to deceive us?" Guo Dazui exploded upon hearing this, "Bringing a sickly creature to curse our house? What do you mean by this?"
"I..." Feng Caie immediately felt at a loss for words, but she did not want to be misunderstood, "Don’t listen to her nonsense, she isn’t sick at all, she’s just pretending..."
Cough cough... Yang Ruxin’s coughing grew even more violent, as if she was about to cough out her internal organs.
"Take a sip of water to calm it down." Zhao Feihu, however, showed no reaction, instead offering the bowl of sugar water considerately to her.
Yang Ruxin knew there was something wrong with the water, but she took it anyway. However, just after she took a sip, a violent cough made her spray the sugar water out, even dousing Zhao Feihu. In fact, if he had not dodged swiftly, it would have even sprayed his face.
Zhao Feihu’s expression changed instantly.
"Cough cough... I’m so sorry..." Yang Ruxin hurriedly reached out to wipe his clothes, "I don’t cough when I’m well rested, it’s just these few days..."
But Zhao Feihu quickly stepped back.
"Consumption is contagious," Guo Dazui said, covering his mouth with a handkerchief and waving his hand, "You better take her away quick."
Zhao Feihu also hastily took off his outer robe and threw it into the courtyard.
