Xie Li was sold to a small mountain village as a child and was finally brought back to the wealthy Xie family after fifteen years.
A little country bumpkin flew into a wealthy family overnigh...
She was already close to the Huo family, and their relationship was extraordinary. In addition, she saved Old Master Huo. Wouldn't the Huo family be extremely grateful to her and devoted to her forever?
Grandma Ding excitedly shared the good news with Xie Ziyuan.
Xie Ziyuan was stunned for a moment, and the sadness in her heart subsided slightly. "So that's how it is. From both a moral and logical standpoint, I really should go and visit Grandpa Huo."
Previously, she had not studied medicine or alchemy, so she was indeed unable to help Old Master Huo with his chronic ailments.
However, in the past year or so in the capital, she has made rapid progress and is now completely different from before. Perhaps she really does have a way to completely cure Old Master Huo's illness.
Since Huo Yuntang was indeed busy and Xie Sidu was not there, Old Madam Ding had no choice but to ask the Ding family to send someone to pick them up.
The Ding family driver arrived quite quickly, and he also brought Ding Ruoxu's wife, Feng Ruoxue.
The 7-seater van was just the right size to be fully occupied.
Grandma Ding wasn't too satisfied; the van was only worth about a million yuan, which didn't suit her status at all.
Feng Ruoxue didn't take it to heart. Originally, Ding Ruoxu didn't want her to come and pick them up. Ding Huizhu and Xie Ziyuan weren't without in-laws and boyfriends. Why should the Ding family rush to fawn over them?
Fortunately, she had made special preparations, which allowed her to arrive in time to pick up the person.
Once everyone was seated, Feng Ruoxue hurriedly asked, "Ziyuan, do you know what happened? The Huo family took people to the Xie family to propose marriage today!"
When she heard the news, she was overjoyed for Xie Ziyuan, since she didn't have a daughter and had always treated Xie Ziyuan like her own daughter.
"Propose marriage?" Xie Ziyuan's heart skipped a beat.
Grandma Ding was overjoyed: "Yun Tang went to propose marriage? Old Master Huo came in person? I knew it! Why would his rheumatism flare up? He must have been exposed to the cold wind outside!"
Grandma Ding became more and more excited, so much so that she didn't know what to do. "The Huo family values our Ziyuan!"
Because he needed to recuperate, Mr. Huo always kept to himself and rarely went out, especially in winter.
In this freezing weather, he personally came to her door, even triggering his rheumatism. How much does he value Xie Ziyuan?
Grandma Ding instructed Xie Ziyuan, "You must make sure that Grandpa Huo's rheumatism is cured!"
"No, no." Feng Ruoxue realized she hadn't explained the situation clearly and immediately became anxious. "Mom, it's not like that. The Huo family came to propose marriage today because of Xie Li!"
"The Huo family said that Xie Li was originally the person they were engaged to, and that their relationship with Zi Yuan was just like that of siblings, and that there was nothing inappropriate between them."
These words came from the servants of the Huo family. The Xie family tried to keep it a secret, but they couldn't withstand the Huo family's overly aggressive actions.
Nowadays, most people who care about this matter know about it.
When Feng Ruoxue heard these words, she was so angry that she almost fainted.
Ding Huizhu and Old Mrs. Ding were also dumbfounded. What was going on with the Huo family? They were eating what they had and eyeing what they didn't. Had they even considered Xie Ziyuan's feelings?
Grandma Ding slammed her hand on the armrest in anger. "This is outrageous! I knew that little slut had no good intentions. It hasn't been long and she's already bewitched Yun Tang!"
Feng Ruoxue was stunned when she heard this, and subconsciously glanced at Ding Huizhu.
Why is Xie Li to blame? Shouldn't the blame be placed on the Huo family and Huo Yuntang?
Ding Huizhu didn't say anything, but kept pressing her temples, clearly very angry, her chest heaving.
Xie Ziyuan, her face pale, said softly, "The Xie family must have agreed, after all, this marriage was originally Xie Li's."
