"Auntie, didn't you tell them the truth? I'm sorry, you asked me to endure just until today, but my mother fainted, and I didn't sleep at all last night. In my haste, I gave in, I just couldn't bear it anymore…" Yang Ruxin, while coughing violently, looked apologetically at Feng Caie, "Auntie, I know the dowry they offered is generous, but I'm really helpless…" As she spoke, tears even fell.
"How dare you, Feng Caie, are you trying to deceive us?" Guo Dazui exploded upon hearing this, "Bringing a sickly creature to curse our house? What do you mean by this?"
"I…" Feng Caie immediately felt at a loss for words, but she did not want to be misunderstood, "Don't listen to her nonsense, she isn't sick at all, she's just pretending…"
Cough cough… Yang Ruxin's coughing grew even more violent, as if she was about to cough out her internal organs.
"Take a sip of water to calm it down." Zhao Feihu, however, showed no reaction, instead offering the bowl of sugar water considerately to her.
