Chapter 2092: Chapter 2092: Misjudged (Part 5)
On that day, Xie Hushi stayed at the Yang Family to accompany her son.
Meanwhile, after Murong Xiaoxiao once again helped Xie Tai clean his wounds and change his medicine, she couldn’t hold back any longer, ran out and vomited until the sky was spinning, then fell down, knocking over a bowl of medicine and spilling a bag of medicinal powder.
Of course, she also managed to injure her own arm.
She could no longer take on the task of caring for Xie Tai.
Murong Xiaoxiao, with tear-filled eyes, apologized to Xie Hushi.
In the afternoon, news came from the Murong Family that the elderly lady of the family was unwell and wanted her granddaughter to return and accompany her.
Xie Hushi showed no signs of disapproval throughout this and even advised Murong Xiaoxiao to go back and take good care of her grandmother, assuring her not to worry about Atai and saying she would send someone over in a few days to propose marriage, among other things.
As a result, Murong Xiaoxiao ran off hastily with a pale face.
"Madam Xie, your prospective daughter-in-law doesn’t seem willing to care for her fiancé." Yang Ruxin glanced at Xie Hushi, unable to resist a cold snort, "She came over reluctantly the first time, and now she’s directly run away again. Does she really think everyone else is a fool?"
Xie Hushi’s expression instantly turned unpleasant.
Yang Ruxin didn’t care whether she was willing or not: "If she didn’t want to, she should have said so earlier. So much medicine wasted; it’s quite expensive."
Xie Hushi took a breath: "Rest assured, we will pay for it."
"You certainly should pay for it." Yang Ruxin nodded, "I’m not running a pharmacy or a charity. It’s good enough we’ve taken over; should I even lose money over this?"
Xie Hushi signaled to the maid behind her.
The maid hurriedly handed over a silver note.
Yang Ruxin accepted it, ten thousand taels, barely enough.
"Cough, cough." Xie Tai, who gradually awoke, coughed a few times, drawing everyone’s attention.
"Atai?" Xie Hushi didn’t care about being angry with Yang Ruxin anymore and rushed over to hold her son’s hand, tears flowing, "Are you trying to scare your mother to death?"
"I’m fine now." Xie Tai smiled, "But mother, if people disdain your son, don’t bother with them, okay? As for a fiancée, I’ll find one myself."
"Really?"
"Mother, when have I ever lied to you?" Xie Tai sighed, "I’ve taken a liking to a very kind girl, at least she didn’t despise me even when your son was like this."
"Alas!" Xie Hushi sighed, "If only you hadn’t been delaying marriage, I wouldn’t have had to bring Xiaoxiao over. Since you don’t like her, I’ll take charge and call it off."
Xie Tai finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After Murong Xiaoxiao left, she never came back.
Seven days later, the poison in Xie Tai’s body was completely cleared, though he was still weak, he could return and recover slowly.
However, this news was not disclosed outside.
Instead, Xie Hushi let slip intentionally or unintentionally to the Murong Family that her son might be on the brink of disaster and even sent her confidante over once, trying to propose marriage, but the Murong Family straightforwardly rejected it.
"I’ve really gone wrong in judgment after all." Xie Hushi was quite upset about this.
"Mother." Xie Tai shook his head with a smile, "In fact, the Murong Family’s approach was not wrong; it was just a bit indifferent."
"Let it be." Xie Hushi waved her hand, "I won’t interfere in your marriage anymore. If you really like that Li Xiang, hurry up and send a matchmaker over, don’t wrong that girl..."
