The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space

Chapter 421: 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?”

”Zeze.” Yuan Mengzhu’s eyes reddened, ”You will get better, I’m sure... Even if I have to stake my life, I’ll bring Dao Xuzi here, your uncle has gone personally...”

”Mom.” Fang Tianze’s eyes also turned red, ”I know you care for me, and I want to get better too. I want to look after you in your old age, so those people won’t need to come over to serve as Dad’s sons... But...” He suddenly raised his hand to his chest, his complexion turning pale as his breathing grew more rapid.

”Zeze, don’t get agitated,” Yuan Mengzhu got a fright and quickly helped him sit down, ”You can do whatever you want, Mom will not object...” Suddenly remembering something, she quickly turned to look at the old servant standing beside her, ”Nanny Qiu, you go and speak to the master personally, just say... say that Yang Ruxin is the... lifesaver... of the young master...”

Nanny Qiu, who was Fang Tianze’s wet nurse and had seen Yang Ruxin before, naturally understood the situation; she nodded, then respectfully left the room.

”Thank you, Mom.” Fang Tianze smiled, ”I just want to make a friend...”

Yuan Mengzhu nodded, ”Mom knows, Mom won’t stop you from making friends. Look, the Dai Family... never mind the Dai Family, even your cousins from your uncles’ families... you can...”

”Mom.” Fang Tianze interrupted Yuan Mengzhu, ”In their eyes, I am the son of the County Magistrate. If my father weren’t the County Magistrate, then in their eyes, I would just be a sickly person...”

”But...”

”But Sister Ruxin is a good person, she doesn’t look down on me because of my status...” Fang Tianze gave a wry smile, ”What I see in her eyes is only pity, not disgust.”
