Just after finishing their meal, Doctor Wang arrived, checked on Xun Hui, and administered an acupuncture treatment.
Actually, Xun Hui’s condition had stabilized, it was just that no one knew when she might wake up.
When Yang Peili entered, Doctor Wang was just withdrawing the needles.
"If she doesn’t wake up by tomorrow, I suggest you take her back home for care," Doctor Wang looked at Yang Peili and Yang Ruxin. "After all, staying here involves additional expenses every day..."
Yang Ruxin remained silent, but looked towards Yang Peili.
Yang Peili nodded hastily, "Okay, I’ll hire a mule cart first thing tomorrow morning to transport her." If they continued to stay, the two taels of silver would definitely not be enough. It was better to go back home sooner rather than later.
Yang Ruxin had no objections; going home would allow her to proceed to the next step.
Yang Peili had been worried that Yang Ruxin might be reluctant and account for spending more silver, but seeing her agree, he felt somewhat relieved at heart; his expression wasn’t so sour, and when leaving, he even reminded her to be careful about her safety.
Yang Ruxin smiled a bit and naturally agreed obediently.
However, what surprised Yang Ruxin was that not long after Yang Peili left, Yang Baichuan and Feng Caie actually came.
But she didn’t think these two came out of guilt—if she remembered correctly, today was the day to meet with Zhao Feihu; she guessed they came for that reason. They really would discard all dignity for the sake of silver.
As soon as Yang Baichuan saw Yang Ruxin, his face was immediately filled with guilt, "Dani, it’s all my fault, I’m tormented with regret. I was just trying to scare you a little, who knew... who knew that your sister-in-law would rush over like that?"
"Yeah, Dani, we didn’t sleep a wink last night," Feng Caie also sighed. "That’s why we came over first thing in the morning."
Yang Ruxin’s eyebrows moved slightly, "The old man just left."
The expressions on the faces of Yang Baichuan and Feng Caie stiffened for a moment.
"Dani," Feng Caie was the first to regain composure, taking a step forward intending to grab Yang Ruxin’s hand, "Now that things have happened, there’s no point in anything we say, we can only endeavor to make amends..."
"Hmm," Yang Ruxin nodded, "Then you can stay and keep watch here today. There’s not much to do, just provide a massage for my mother every two hours, and feed her half a bowl of medicine after every four hours..."
"Hehe..." Feng Caie immediately let out a forced laugh, but didn’t pick up on the conversation. Instead, she changed the subject, "Your mother has always been hoping that you find a good family to marry into."
Yang Ruxin dodged the touch, stepping to the side.
Feng Caie’s hand awkwardly hovered in mid-air for a moment before she conveniently lifted it to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear, "Today was the arranged meeting for the matchmaking. You happen to be in town; it’s perfect for you to meet young master Zhao. It might be fate..." Initially, she was supposed to bring someone, but they didn’t want to come, so she had to take them there herself.
Yang Ruxin intended to decline, but upon seeing Feng Caie’s hopeful expression, she suddenly smiled, "Auntie is really considerate. But what about my mother? If you’re not watching over her, I have to stay, don’t I..."
"Aren’t there your second uncle and fifth uncle? The pharmacy has assistants too," Feng Caie said enthusiastically, continuing to coax her upon hearing that Yang Ruxin didn’t object. "We’ll be back in just a couple of hours, and whether it’s suitable or not, it’s good to have a plan... Who knows, if you get engaged, your mother might just wake up from happiness?"
