Chapter 159: What happened to tricking the idiots

That night, Xiao Yuanshi also fell ill and developed a high fever.

He was afraid his little wife might be affected, so he stayed alone in another courtyard.

Ge Chunru, who had a miscarriage, was unable to take care of herself, so she let the servant girl by her side serve her all night.

The imperial doctor also guarded her the entire night.

It was almost dawn, so Old Lady Xiao and Old Master Xiao also went to the courtyard.

After waiting for him for a while, Xiao Yuanshi woke up.

He was stunned to see his parents in his courtyard.

Old Lady Xiao's eyes were red and swollen.

When she saw that her son had woken up, she pounced on him.

"My son, you're finally awake. Your father and I are so worried about you."

What she said now was partially true.

Ever since she knew that Ge Chunru had a miscarriage, she had been on tenterhooks.

It was Madam Wu who reminded her that Shi Qingluo told them that they had to coax Xiao Yuanshi if they wanted to fight with that vixen.

Hence, she discussed with the old master and came over to visit him.

Old Master Xiao's eyes were red as well.

He looked at Xiao Yuanshi and said, "We all know that what happened outside is a rumour. Don't take it to heart.

"You should rest well. Your health is more important."

This was the first time Xiao Yuanshi felt his parents' concern.

In addition, he was already very fragile as he was sick.

Therefore, he was less guarded.

He could not help but soften his tone a lot. "I apologise for making you and father worry about me."

Old Lady Xiao held his hand and cried, "You are a piece of meat that fell from my body. Seeing that you are sick and suffering from a fever, how can your father and I not be worried? It's all Ge Chunyi's fault. If he had not provoked Xi Rui, you would not have been schemed against."

They had already heard from their second son's trusted aides that their son had been schemed against by Xi Rui, so they hated the Ge siblings even more.

"My son, if something happens to you, how will your father and I live on?"

Then, they started crying again.

Xiao Yuanshi's original intention to settle his debt with the old lady suddenly faded.

Furthermore, when he woke up, both of his parents were with him, but his little wife wasn't.

Although he knew that she was recuperating from her miscarriage, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

When he heard the old lady's words again, he diverted his anger.

Xi Rui's doings really stemmed from Ge Chunyi.

If he did not provoke this little devil, would he be implicated and schemed against?

He opened his mouth to comfort his parents.

The two of them looked at him and heaved a huge sigh of relief.

It seemed like they would be safe for now.

They left after saying a little more to express their concern.
