Why was he acting just like his eldest sister-in-law?
Feng Family had been too scared to speak up until now, but at this moment, she hurried over and said, âAyao, this personâŠâ
âThis is the Divine Doctor that His Highness had invited for elder brother, the senior Dao Xuzi from Yunmen Mountain,â Gu Yao said with a smile, âWith him here, elder brother will definitely recover.
Mother, remember to take good care of him.â
âReally?â Upon hearing this, Feng Family quickly clasped her hands together in prayer and waved them towards the heavens, âMay the madam bless us, I hope the eldest young master recovers soonâŠâ
âBut we must keep this a secretâŠâ
Feng Family nodded; of course, that was a must.
When Gu Yao went next door, he found Yang Ruxin sitting in the courtyard, hugging her knees and staring off into space as if in a trance.
The afternoon sunlight fell on her profile, seemingly bathing her in a golden halo, making her look as tranquil as a silhouette painting at that moment.
This was the first time he had seen such a serene side of her.
For no apparent reason, his heart quivered slightly.
However, it was just a fleeting moment.
Gu Yaoâs mind snapped back to reality; this was his sister-in-law, his eternal superior.
He could admire her, respect her, and be loyal to her, but he could never entertain any improper thoughts â otherwise, he would be no better than a beast.
âGu Er, my brother,â Zhou Xiao, who was holding his sister, was the first to notice Gu Yao and hurriedly called out to him.
Yang Ruxin came back to her senses, turned her head, and smiled upon seeing Gu Yao, âWhat about that old man?
Is he really not leaving?â
âHe probably wonât leave for the time being.â Gu Yao suppressed the subtle feeling he had just experienced and walked over, âAs for why, elder brother will tell you.
However, the old senior mentioned heâll be coming over for dinner tonightâŠâ
Yang Ruxin frowned, but she didnât say anything and just nodded, âAlright then, weâre celebrating tonight anyway.
You all should come over too; itâll be livelier, especially since my mother has also woken up.
Letâs celebrate the festival together.â She knew that old man was definitely no ordinary individual.
After Gu Yao left, the women in the house had nearly finished crying, and Xun Hui, supported by Erni and Sanni, left the room.
Zhou Xiao quickly stood up with his sister.
Yang Ruxin walked over, âYouâre still weak right now; you need to rest more.â
âDaniâŠâ Xun Huiâs face was filled with guilt, âThese past few days have been hard on youâŠâ Just now, the younger ones had eagerly recounted everything that happened during the days of her unconsciousness.
To be honest, her mind was still in a daze.
The very things she never dared to think of or do had been accomplished by Dani.
Yang Ruxin didnât falsely claim it wasnât difficult; instead, she nodded, âIt was indeed tough, but luckily, with the heavensâ blessing, that time has passed.
From now on, we can close the doors and live our own lives.
More importantly, youâre no longer a bought bride; I have retrieved your Selling Covenant.â
Xun Hui, whose tears had just stopped, started crying again, âBut Dani, this separation isâŠâ
âMother, I hope you wonât let us down.â Yang Ruxin interrupted her, staring intently at Xun Hui, âThe moment you fell unconscious, the Yang Family immediately kicked us out of the house.
If I hadnât hunted down the Black Bear in the mountains, do you think you could stand here discussing what ifs with me?â
Erni frowned slightly, but ultimately said nothing.
She thought her elder sisterâs words were too sharp, yet she didnât find them wrong because if it wasnât for their older sister, they might have been sold long ago.
