Chapter 421: Life-Saving Benefactor (6 more)_1
Yuan Mengzhu felt a moment of shock and glanced at the hand in the crook of her arm, feeling a warmth around her eyes. How long had it been since the child had been this affectionate, with such a cheerful tone? It seemed that the medicine prescribed by Doctor Wang was indeed effective. However, she didn’t know if the person who had gone to Yunmen Mountain had managed to find the venerable Dao Xuzi. At this thought, her nose began to tingle with emotion, but she quickly suppressed all her feelings and took her son’s hand, "What do you need your father for?"
"Mom, Sister Ruxin has come," Fang Tianze said to Yuan Mengzhu, smiling.
"Sister Ruxin?" Yuan Mengzhu’s heart skipped a beat, "Where did this sister come from?"
"She’s the one who sold us fresh musk at Hechun Hall in Lianhua Town," Fang Tianze said, his smile deepening. "It turns out her surname is Yang, and her name is Yang Ruxin. She came today to register her household; I was hoping Dad could let her off the hook..."
"What?" Yuan Mengzhu couldn’t help but exclaim, "She’s here? And to register her household? This..." Her impression of Yang Ruxin grew even worse because those who registered their own households were those without a family, and surely, there must be something wrong with a person who had no family.
"What’s the matter?" Fang Tianze, being sensitive due to his long illness, initially happy, now keenly sensed the malice in his mother’s mood and frowned, "Don’t you want to help Sister Ruxin?"
"She’s just a country girl..."
"Mom, I know what you’re thinking, that you’re worried she’ll cling to me, right? Thinking she covets my status as the son of the County Magistrate..." Fang Tianze said with a bitter smile, shaking his head, "Mom, I might be good in your eyes, but to others... hasn’t the Dai Family already called off their engagement?"
