Chapter 17: 17, turn to beco a daughter-in-law Chapter 17: 17, turn to beco a daughter-in-law Chu Nanli waved the silver needle in her hand in front of her.
Under the sunlight, the silver needle shimred with a cold light.
The girl shivered at the thought of the fear she felt when her body was out of her control and fell silent.
Chu Nanli looked at her and said indifferently, “What is your relationship with the man who collided with the old lady while leading the horse?”
The girl’s complexion changed, and then she widened her eyes and said stiffly, “I don’t know what you’re talking about!”
“Did he send you here?”
“No!”
“You’re very nervous, your breathing quickens, and your eyes glance in the direction where that man left from, plus you ca from there as well,” Chu Nanli paused and slowly said, “You’re lying.”
Upon hearing this, the surrounding people looked at each other, recalling that they had been misled by this girl and had spoken ill of the Divine Doctor, and quickly shifted their target of attack.
“So you’re in league with that brute! To the officials with her! Lock her up!”
“How can you be so vicious at such a young age? You almost had us wrong a good person.”
The girl’s face turned red and then pale, and she glared at Chu Nanli fiercely, “You think you’re so clever, knowing so much!”
With those words, she took advantage of her small stature to slip away through the crowd and ran off in a flash.
So in the crowd felt embarrassed while others, seeing the excitent was over, dispersed.
“Cough cough!”
The old lady on the ground began to cough again.
Chu Nanli shifted her gaze back and removed all the silver needles, and within a few monts, the old lady woke up.
Chu Nanli was about to explain the situation to her, but before she could, the old lady sat up with a quick movent and grabbed her hand, her eyes earnest.
“Girl, thank you for saving .”
Chu Nanli was surprised.
The old lady explained, “Even though I was unconscious, I was aware of what was happening around ; I just couldn’t wake up and it felt terrible.”
Chu Nanli understood and asked, “Do you still feel uncomfortable anywhere now?”
The old lady smiled and said, “No discomfort at all, I feel much better. If it hadn’t been for you today, I might have thought I was going to pass away. Ah, if I had passed away, what would my two sons have done without to watch over them…”
Chu Nanli was slightly puzzled.
Watch over them?
Could it be this old lady’s sons would get into so kind of trouble?
As she was thinking this, the old lady’s eyes brightened and she said to her, “Girl, you look quite young and probably aren’t married yet, right? Since you’ve saved my life, I have no way to repay you, why don’t you beco my daughter-in-law?”
Chu Nanli was montarily stunned, not quite able to react.
Earlier there was Ye Yunting saving the infatuated girl whose original soul offered herself in gratitude, now it was her, Chu Nanli, who saved the old lady, and the old lady wanted her son to marry her as a way to express gratitude.
So, does everyone in this world like to use marriage as a way to repay kindness?
Seeing Chu Nanli’s bewildered expression, the old lady misconstrued her thoughts, thinking that Chu Nanli was looking down on her family’s poor condition. She imdiately revealed her family’s wealth, saying, “Girl, don’t mind that I’m dressed in tatters; it’s just a preference of mine. We’re actually quite wealthy at ho, and you’d certainly live comfortably once you marry in. Although my sons are a bit peculiar, you are my lifesaver and they wouldn’t dare to mistreat you.”
Both… a bit peculiar?
Neither… would dare to mistreat her?
Chu Nanli’s mind montarily froze.
So, exactly which son of the old lady was she supposed to marry? Or was it that she was ant to marry both brothers?
Wait a minute! What sort of nonsense are you thinking about!
Chu Nanli quickly stopped that train of thought and t the old woman’s eager gaze, imdiately declining.
“It was just a helping hand; there is no need for this.”
The old lady beca sowhat anxious, “Girl, our family really is wealthy, I’m not deceiving you. Also, I’ve never felt such an affinity with a girl as I do with you. My son is very good-looking, you’ll definitely like him once you see him. How about this, I’ll take you to visit our ho and arrange for you two to et, what do you think?”
Chu Nanli was for the first ti experiencing this world’s enthusiasm, even feeling it to be sowhat surreal.
This old lady, despite her shabby clothing, clearly ca from a well-off background, judging by the delicate state of her skin and the noble air in her movents and posture.
So, when she said they were “wealthy,” it was obviously true.
However, she had no intention of marrying into their family, especially with Ye Yunting, that madman, around.
“You’ve had a shock today and need so rest; you should hurry back and recover. I appreciate your kind offer, but I’ve just lost my husband, so it really isn’t appropriate for to remarry right now.”
The old lady paused, and by the ti she ca to her senses, the “young widow” was nowhere to be seen.
“Ah, such a tough fate, to beco a widow at such a young age.”
At that mont, a figure hurried to the old lady’s side, moving quickly yet lightly, the steps of soone with inner strength.
“It’s ti…”
The old lady turned to him, commanding without anger.
The person bowed his head and said, “You should go back.”
“Let’s go,” said the old lady as she dusted off her clothes, her expression indifferent, nowhere near the smiley deanor she had when talking with Chu Nanli.
