"Duke North's Mansion has not had an easy time these years, and you have just become an adult. These medical bills are a bit high for us, but you are my only child and you don't have a sister, so I can use my dowries to pay the bill, or we are going to be laughed at!" Mrs. Duke North showed a brief smile as she was speaking. She sounded a bit helpless, but also showed much hope to her son.
With fist clenched, Zheng Chenyi lay in bed without saying a word. A long while later, he said, "Thank you for your efforts, mom!" Then he closed his eyes.
Mrs. Duke North took a look at him and helped to cover him with the blanket, before walking out of the room.
Zheng Chenyi took out The Saint Divine Anecdotes, threw a look at it and then put it back under the pillow.
