âTo show off your advanced needling technique.â Yang Ruxinâs face, however, was filled with heartache for the pain Gu Qingheng was enduring.
âDo you want to learn?â Dao Xuzi laughed, âI know you also possess medical skills, but you donât know these, do you?â
âAre you some sort of charlatan?â Yang Ruxin frowned at Dao Xuzi, âYou can see all that?â
âI can also tell that youâve treated his eyes before,â Dao Xuzi looked at Gu Qingheng, âbut a young girl like you suddenly possessing such formidable medical skills is abnormal, almost monstrous.
Arenât you afraid people will become suspicious?
But with me as your master, no matter how impressive your medical skills are, there wonât be any problemsâŠâ
Yang Ruxin slightly raised her eyebrows, then turned to Gu Qingheng: âWhat do you say, Gu Qingheng?â
âXinxinâŠâ Gu Qingheng, with his eyes closed and voice weak, spoke, âAccept the seniorâs offerâŠâ
Only then did Yang Ruxin look at Dao Xuzi: âAlright.â
Dao Xuzi actually laughed: âDidnât expect you to trust this kid so muchâŠâ
âIn this world, I, Yang Ruxin, could even distrust myself, but I will always trust him,â Yang Ruxin said with certainty.
The corners of Gu Qinghengâs mouth curled up slightly, and then he peacefully fell asleep.
After coming out from the neighboring room, Yang Ruxin felt an inexplicable sense of peace in her heart.
In fact, she knew this must also have been arranged by Gu Qingheng.
After all, Dao Xuzi had previously been utterly unwilling to reveal himself, but today, he took the initiative to offer to treat Fang Tianze, thereby letting some people know that she, Yang Ruxin, was Dao Xuziâs disciple.
This not only elevated her own status but also made it more convenient for her future endeavors.
This man, ah, made it difficult for her not to love him.
She had assumed that the family would all be asleep by now, but just as she entered, she noticed a figure in the courtyard, causing her to frown slightly: âDabao, why are you standing out here?
Itâs very lateâŠâ
âSister XinxinâŠâ Zhou Xiao hurriedly wiped his face, âIâll go to sleep right away.â
âWait, have you been crying?â Yang Ruxin quickly pulled Zhou Xiao over, âHas something happened?â
Zhou Xiao looked down, twisting the hem of his clothes in silence.
âWeâre family, isnât there anything you canât tell your sister?â Yang Ruxin went to stand in front of Zhou Xiao, gazing directly at him under the moonlight.
âIâŠâ Zhou Xiao bit his lip, raised his hand to wipe away tears, âSister, tomorrow is motherâs death anniversary.
Every year on this day, father would come back to visit motherâŠ
I miss my fatherâŠâ
Yang Ruxinâs heart sank, and she took Zhou Xiao into her arms: âLetâs go make offerings by the river for your mother tomorrow.
The river flows far and wide, your mother will surely receive them, and your father will definitely feel your filial pietyâŠâ
âThank you, sisterâŠâ Zhou Xiao sniffled.
âAlright, time to sleep,â Yang Ruxin patted Zhou Xiaoâs shoulder, âYouâre a man, youâre allowed to be upset for a little while, but not allowed to stay upsetâŠâ
âYeah.â Zhou Xiao nodded, âSister Xinxin, I was just upset for a little while, Iâm fine now.â
âThen go to sleep,â Yang Ruxin smiled, âYou are a brave child, your parents would definitely be proud of youâŠ
â
Meanwhile, thousands of miles away, the Zhou Family in Changping County was thrown into utter chaos.
