"Why must we plant in the mountains? Can't we plant on a farm? The land is already cultivated, wouldn't it be more convenient to grow herbs?" The old lady was a little confused. Why did her grandson want to go into the woods so much? And he only brought this newly hired temporary worker with him. God knows where this stranger came from. She really couldn't rest assured.
"Grandma, I found a place deep in the forest that is very suitable for growing medicinal herbs. A farm is really not suitable for this." The most important thing is that there are too many people and eyes on the farm, so he has to hide if he wants to do anything. But it is different in the forest. With the Tree of Life protecting him, he doesn't have to worry about his secrets being seen.
Well, there is also He Ziqian.
Ruan Xi was thinking of He Ziqian, and naturally turned to look at him, with clear questioning eyes.
He Ziqian couldn't read minds, so he couldn't predict Ruan Xi's thoughts. But he was flexible. After all, Ruan Xi was obviously a man with secrets. Otherwise, why would a teenager be so intent on retreating to the mountains? Wouldn't boys his age prefer to spend their time outside?
"Don't worry, old lady. I will definitely be able to protect him."
The old lady: “…” Although He Ziqian still looked unfamiliar to her, the words he said made people feel inexplicably strong, and they believed it unconsciously.
"...Okay, Xiaoxi, you've grown up now. Grandma shouldn't keep you confined at home. Go and do whatever you want. If there's anything I can help you with, be sure to tell me. Don't carry it all by yourself." The old lady relented, but Ruan Xi could see that her grandmother clearly had more unfinished words, and they couldn't be said.
Ruan Xi immediately thought of the restriction in the forest. He could enter, but Ruan Ping could not. Now there was He Ziqian who had just walked out of there. He didn't know if he could still get in.
If not, that would be a lot of fun, with such a huge mecha still inside!
"I've remembered, grandma. Don't worry, I still have to help you and aunt recuperate. I'll come out every few days and prepare the medicine you need in advance." Ruan Xi changed the subject calmly. Sure enough, the old lady's attention was immediately diverted when she heard her daughter.
"Your aunt... does she really not need to be sent to the hospital? I'm a little worried..." It's not that the old lady doesn't trust Ruan Xi, but Ruan Huaqing's condition is really not good, and she is worried that she can't take good care of her at home.
"It's okay to send them to the hospital. There are doctors and nurses taking care of them, and you can feel more at ease. Well... I think that you and your aunt should both be hospitalized, but you must continue to take the medicine I prescribed for you. Let the housekeeper boil the medicine for you, and don't let others do it for the time being." Ruan Xi was not afraid that the doctors and nurses would have bad intentions, but just wanted to ensure the treatment effect of the old lady and aunt.
"Master Xi, what should we do if the hospital's treatment conflicts with yours?" The butler's question hit the nail on the head. Moreover, he had no idea how to judge this situation. After all, he was in a hospital, and he would always feel guilty if he didn't listen to the doctor.
"There won't be any conflict. My treatment is just drinking herbal decoctions, and the hospital's treatment relies on instruments to repair the body. Don't worry." Ruan Xi said it very easily, but others couldn't take it so easily.
"Forget it, let's not go to the hospital. It's troublesome. I still trust Xiaoxi more." The old lady made the final decision. Ruan Xi didn't care, but the housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief.
The housekeeper is now convinced by Ruan Xi and is full of gratitude towards him.
"OK, then do as I say." After arranging the matters with the old lady and Ruan Huaqing, Ruan Xi went back to his room to pack some things, which was enough for a backpack. He walked back downstairs with light steps, waved to He Ziqian and was about to leave.
He hadn't seen the big tree for several days and he missed it so much!
"Grandma, I'm leaving. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions." Ruan Xi waved the hand with the personal terminal, and then left without any reluctance.
At this moment, Miao Shulan's hurried shout came from upstairs.
"Xiao Xi...you...you don't have anything to say to your mother? Mom...Mom..." Miao Shulan stammered for a long time but couldn't express what she meant clearly. Her face turned red with anxiety. She ran downstairs in a hurry and wanted to hold Ruan Xi's hand, but he dodged her.
"Xiao Xi! Mom was deceived back then! I didn't mean to treat you badly... I thought... I thought..." Miao Shulan showed some signs of hysteria again, but she didn't dare to meet Ruan Xi's eyes. She was afraid to see resentment and anger in Ruan Xi's eyes.
Miao Shulan cried and tried to reach out to pull him, but Ruan Xi still dodged her.
"Xiaoxi, Mom didn't mean it. Do you hate Mom..." Miao Shulan couldn't help crying, her heart and eyes were full of grievances, and her hatred for Zhong Jing was deeper than ever before.
However, Ruan Xi was not moved at all by her grievances and anger, and could even be said to be indifferent.
Ruan Xi looked at Miao Shulan quietly until she gradually stopped crying and finally dared to meet his eyes. Ruan Xi finally spoke, "Mother, from the time you misunderstood my identity until now, eighteen years, if you had just confirmed your suspicions and taken me for a paternity test, this wouldn't have happened. This isn't your fault, is it mine?"
What was the original owner's fault? He was just unlucky to be born as the child of Miao Shulan and Ruan Mingxuan. Even so, when that fool left, he didn't have any resentment in his heart, he just felt that he was not good enough.
The original owner should hate and has the right to hate. No one has the right to wrong the original owner. He is even more unwilling to forgive his parents and brother on behalf of the original owner. Let them live with the debt they owe to the original owner for the rest of their lives.
"Grandma, I'm leaving." After saying that, Ruan Xi smiled and waved at the old lady, then left without looking back.
He Ziqian followed Ruan Xi silently, walking into the forest, until they came to the place that Ruan Ping couldn't enter last time, and then Ruan Xi stopped.
He Ziqian felt strange and subconsciously asked, "Why don't you leave?" The destination was still quite a distance away! As He Ziqian asked, he walked to Ruan Xi's side and stopped. Ruan Xi just glanced at him and didn't mean to answer him at all. She just lowered her head and muttered something to herself.
"It seems that this man is also a special existence."
He probably has wood-related abilities, but what makes He Ziqian so special?
