"Of course it's true. I won't lie to you."
Wanruo seemed to believe it and nodded heavily.
Three days later, Mrs. Xu's condition really improved and she regained consciousness.
Wanruo threw herself beside her bed and couldn't stop crying: "Mom, you finally woke up. I thought I would never see you again."
Mr. Xu's eyes also turned red and he kept wiping his tears. Xu Shujin also lay on the edge of the bed and cried with him.
Xie Xianyu stood outside the courtyard, and Imperial Physician Liu finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Thanks to Xizi's medicine, Madam Xu would have been beyond saving. It's a shame that Xizi used such a precious herb on someone so unrelated."
Xie Xianyu looked at the little girl crying in the house, with a slight smile on his lips. What was so regrettable about it?
From then on, she was loved by her mother.
She seemed to notice his gaze, turned to look at him, then wiped her tears with the back of her hand and walked out. She was afraid of the cold, so she always wrapped herself very warmly in winter, looking a little funny and cute.
"Thank you for saving my mother." Wanruo looked at Doctor Liu.
Doctor Liu hurriedly said, "I have my wife to thank for this."
Wanruo looked at Xie Xianyu again and sniffed in a muffled voice, "Thank you for saving my mother. I'll definitely have my father give you a lot of money to repay you."
Xie Xianyu looked down at her and said, "I have no shortage of money. If you really want to thank me, use something else."
She looked at him blankly: "What else?"
He took out a jade pendant that was close to his body and gave it to her: "Take this jade pendant. When you reach the age of marriage, I will come to marry you."
"ah?"
Wanruo was stunned for a moment, tears still hanging on her eyelashes, not even bothering to wipe them away: "But I don't even recognize you."
"Yanjing Xie family, my name is Xie Xianyu, do you recognize me now?"
She was still dazed and hadn't reacted, probably because she was young and didn't quite understand the importance of marriage.
He took her hand and placed the jade pendant in her palm: "Just remember, you have to marry me in three years."
She blinked her misty eyes and stared blankly at the jade pendant in her hand.
He then curled his lips and ruffled her hair.
It doesn't matter that she is still young. When she grows up, she will naturally like him.
It would not be possible for him to stay in Linzhou for long. After all, it was not his turn to take charge of the Xie family yet, and he might be punished if he returned.
But it didn't matter. After all, he was reborn, and the process of his previous life could be completed faster. He could unite with King Xuan, bring down King Jin, obtain evidence of King Jin and his father's conspiracy to rebel, and take power in the Xie family. Three years was enough.
After three years, he would prepare everything and come to marry her.
Oh, and by the way, bring down the Chen family. In this way, the Chen family will have no chance to think about King Xuan. Chen Qinghan will have a hard time for the next year, and Su Yan will pass the imperial examination next year.
After everything was arranged properly, he left Linzhou with peace of mind.
In the blink of an eye, three years have passed and Wanruo is about to grow up.
"Our Wanwan is about to reach the age of marriage, and it's time to start choosing a husband." Mrs. Xu thought.
Mr. Xu said, "What's there to be picky about? Isn't the Xie family in Yanjing already selected? I've already had someone check it out. The Xie family is one of the most prestigious families! The little boy who came here three years ago is the eldest son of the Xie family! Our Wanwan is so lucky!"
Wanruo raised her head from the herb cabinet and frowned. "Father, you're overthinking it. How could a family like the Xie family, with its reputation, marry a merchant's daughter? Besides, you said he's the eldest son, so he must be the eldest son. So, how can the Xie family let him do whatever he wants?"
Mr. Xu was stunned for a moment: "This, this, but he promised it himself..."
Wan Ruo curled her lips. "He's just a junior, what's the point of agreeing to it? The more aristocratic the family, the more they value rules. For someone like him, marriage must be decided by the elders. Maybe he said that, then tricked me into going to the capital and forced me to be his concubine!"
When Master Xu heard this, his face changed. "That's outrageous! Even if my daughter doesn't marry, she can't be someone's concubine and have to live under someone else's thumb!"
"My parents love me, so they naturally wouldn't let me take this risk. If we're not a good match, I'll definitely suffer injustice. In my opinion, we should either find a son-in-law with a clean family background, or support a poor scholar. Perhaps he will achieve fame and honor in the future and bring honor to our family."
Madam Xu nodded repeatedly: "Our Wanwan is still very thoughtful."
Mr. Xu scratched his head in worry: "But we have already promised him that he will come and ask for your hand in marriage when you reach the age of marriage. What if he really comes?"
"Then find a good family to get engaged first!"
Wanruo was very determined: "We don't have a marriage certificate, so it doesn't count. If you want to repay him, just give him money. You can't let me pay for it with my whole life!"
