Chapter 2090: Truly Magnanimous (3)

Murong Xiaoxiao almost left the Yang Family in a manner that resembled an escape.

After she left, Yang Ruxin took out silver needles, and with two pricks, Xie Tai opened his eyes.

"You did that on purpose." Xie Tai sighed slightly. Actually, after detoxifying him, he had woken up, but he was too weak to speak. When Murong Xiaoxiao entered and shouted, he was again knocked unconscious by Yang Ruxin’s concoction. Strangely enough, this time he couldn’t move or speak, but he could hear what was happening outside.

Yang Ruxin nodded, "Yes, I did it on purpose, hoping you could experience the tenderness of your little fiancée."

"Madam, do you have some misunderstanding about me?" Xie Tai, speaking with some difficulty, had to ask. Murong Xiaoxiao was unwilling to take care of him, complaining the entire time. He had heard it all.

"Since you have a fiancée, why do you interfere with other young girls?" Yang Ruxin said, stuffing the jade bracelet into Xie Tai’s arms, "That’s very unethical."

"I..."

"Master Xie," Yang Ruxin interrupted Xie Tai’s attempt to speak, "Not everyone is willing to be someone else’s concubine."

"I..." Xie Tai wanted to explain, but as he got anxious and opened his mouth, he felt dizzy and lightheaded. "I didn’t know she was coming here, nor did I..." He was too agitated to finish his sentence before fainting again.

Yang Ruxin frowned slightly.

"Xinxin." Li Xiang was brought in by Chai Qin, her face full of anxiety. "He..."

"He’s indeed gravely injured." From the moment she asked Chai Qin to notify Li Xiang, Yang Ruxin hadn’t planned to hide anything from her. She immediately stepped aside.

Li Xiang looked at Xie Tai, and her tears fell like raindrops.

"Xiaoxiang." Yang Ruxin grabbed her hand, "We are friends, but I can’t decide your life for you. That’s why I called you here. I believe you have the right to know." After a pause, "He also has a fiancée, a match made by his mother..."

Li Xiang’s eyes widened instantly, and after a long breath, she said, "That’s good."

"Good? How?" Yang Ruxin sneered, "His delicate fiancée actually despises him. She fled when asked to care for him."

"Xinxin, I can take care of him." Li Xiang suddenly grasped Yang Ruxin’s hand, "Really."

"But..."

"Given his condition, let’s not worry about those things now." Li Xiang shook her head, "I will clarify things with him once he gets better."

"Why are you allowing yourself to be wronged?"

"It’s just helping out." Li Xiang smiled, "For us country folk, doing some work doesn’t feel wronging at all. Let’s say I’m repaying him for his affection towards me."

Yang Ruxin sighed, "You’re truly noble."

"Not at all?" Li Xiang said as she picked up the towel, washed it, and began wiping Xie Tai’s face, hands, and feet. "Back when Young Master Gu was like that, didn’t you stay by his side?"

"Fine, kind girl." Yang Ruxin surrendered, "I hope Heaven will not let you down."

"Xiaoxiang..." Xie Tai suddenly opened his eyes.

"Mas... Master Xie." Li Xiang was startled, almost dropping the towel, but quickly regained her composure. "It’s good you’re awake. Let me know if you need anything. I’ll come by to take care of you in the coming days."
