Chapter 289 He Deserves to Be Alone

"Kill...the killer?" Xi Lin's eyelids twitched, and his voice trembled even more.

He only knows how to cure diseases and save lives. At most, he would poison others to play a trick on them. He has never done such a cruel thing as killing people.

Not to mention actually doing it, even if he just talks about it, his grandfather would break his legs if he knew about it.

"Yes." Song Yanxi carefully placed the child next to the mother, tucked the corners of the quilt carefully for the mother and mother, and said: "The person you have seen before is the one called Vole."

Xi Lin was surprised and asked, "It's that kid?"

Song Yanxi turned around and looked at him, her eyebrows slightly raised, "Now that we know each other, it will be easy."

"No, are you serious?" Xi Lin's expression cracked for a moment.

He rubbed his hands and said with an embarrassed look, "You really think highly of me. If I had this ability, would I be so scared to drink even a sip of water while being chased all the way?"

Song Yanxi nodded and said calmly, "I dare not drink poisonous water, but I can eat poisonous fruit."

"I wiped it with my clothes!"

Xi Lin's eyes suddenly widened, and he cursed in a low voice, "No wonder you two fell in love with each other, neither of you is a good person!"

Song Yanxi happened to hear the second half of the sentence and couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips, "You're so kind."

Catching the upward curve of her eyes, Xi Lin gritted his teeth in anger and said bitterly: "I really owed you two in my previous life, and I came to pay it back in this life."

Thinking of what she had just said, he frowned and asked, "Is that boy really a killer?"

“It used to be.”

"Why don't you quickly have An Yi arrest the men and put them in jail? What if he gets violent one day and wants to kill two people just to have fun?"

Afraid of disturbing the mother and son, Xi Lin lowered his voice, even though it was an extremely serious topic, making it sound very stealthy.

He thought of something and said to himself, "No, if he wanted to kill people, those beggars wouldn't be enough for him to kill in one night."

Xi Lin stared at Song Yanxi without blinking, his eyes sharp as he said, "Since you kept him, he must be of great use to you."

"Indeed." Song Yanxi nodded calmly.

Without waiting for him to ask, she explained, "It's a long story, and this isn't the place to talk about it. I'll tell you in detail when I have the chance."

Xi Lin smacked his lips, "Not impossible."

He pointed to the empty bed on the other side of the room and said, "You go to sleep. I'll take care of these mother and son."

Song Yanxi was about to say that she was not sleepy, but was interrupted by his words.

"If you were also infected with the plague, I wouldn't be able to save everyone in the city with my abilities. You can't really count on that guy named Zhuang out there, right?"

Before she could say anything, Xi Lin continued, "Mo Jinchuan has always believed that it is better to rely on oneself than on others. Since you two are so connected, I believe you are not far behind."

Song Yanxi frowned as she listened, unable to resist asking, "You're so outspoken, aren't you afraid someone might eavesdrop and ruin my reputation and that of the prince?"

No matter what, she is still the general's wife and should avoid suspicion.

Once the gossip gets out, not only will His Royal Highness Prince Jin's reputation be damaged, but his mother, his younger brother, and the entire Yan family will also be criticized because of this matter.

If she really had an affair with the prince, it would be fine. It wouldn't be a loss for her to bear this infamy.

But the relationship between her and the prince was innocent. From the beginning to the end, it was just a relationship between doctor and patient. They had never crossed the line. Naturally, she could not allow others to talk nonsense.

"You guys..." Xi Lin frowned and stared at Song Yanxi for a long time, then suddenly smiled.

He said to himself, “So that’s what happened.

Mo Jinchuan, ah Mo Jinchuan, I never thought you would end up like this."

His Royal Highness Prince Jin, a child of destiny, is the god of war in the Da'an Army. Throughout the year, there are countless women who want to get into his tent.

He is in a bad situation. Not only has he been in unrequited love for so many years, but now his sweetheart is always around him, and he has no ability to capture the girl's heart.

Useless thing!

Xi Lin couldn't help laughing and cursed, "He deserves to be alone for so many years."

Before Song Yanxi could ponder the meaning of his words, she heard him continue, "You're right to look down on him. He's so much older than you and doesn't know how to care for others. He deserves it that he can't find a wife."

These words are clearly adding fuel to the fire, as if someone is just enjoying the fun and not minding the trouble.

Song Yanxi frowned unhappily and reminded, "Divine Doctor Xi, please be careful with your words."

Xi Lin blurted out: "Don't worry, there's no one in the yard right now."

Song Yanxi said quietly, "Divine Doctor Xi's hearing is indeed extraordinary."

"That's right, I can hear you guys talking clearly in the yard."

After he finished speaking boastfully, Xi Lin realized belatedly that something was wrong.

He looked away and explained, "I was heating the goat's milk not far away, so I happened to hear your conversation. I didn't mean to eavesdrop."

"What did you hear?"

"You should ask me, I didn't hear anything."

Seeing that he was trying to be righteous but couldn't help feeling guilty, Song Yanxi curled her lips helplessly.

Xi Lin asked tentatively, "Are you not angry anymore?"

Song Yanxi asked back, "You didn't eavesdrop on me on purpose, why should I be angry?

Or have you lied to me again?"

"How is this possible!" Xi Lin suddenly became anxious.

He hurriedly explained, "I've had good hearing since I was a kid, especially when my old man wants to beat me up, I can tell from a distance whether he wants to talk to me about something or just give me a beating.

If you don't believe it, you can ask Mo Jinchuan."

Song Yanxi suppressed her laughter and nodded, saying, "I believe you."

His description was so vivid that she seemed to see Xi Lin as a child, jumping up and down after being beaten by Grandpa Xi for being naughty.

Speaking of being beaten, Xi Lin gritted his teeth and said, "Mo Jinchuan and I can be said to have known each other through fighting."

With their skills, it was obvious who was being beaten, and it couldn't be Mo Jinchuan.

Before he could complain, Song Yanxi said, "The prince wouldn't hit you for no reason."

Xi Lin's brewing emotions were suddenly interrupted. He twitched his lips and asked, "Did he save your life?"

"No."

"Then why are you still protecting him so much?"

"Just telling the truth."

Hearing this, Xi Lin suddenly became like an eggplant hit by frost, and his whole body wilted.

He said quietly, "I was right. You are not a good person either."

Song Yanxi nodded in agreement and asked, "So why did the prince hit you?"

Xi Lin's eyes suddenly became strange, and he said awkwardly, "These are all old and trivial things in the past, not worth mentioning."

"Well, I'll ask the prince when he comes back."

"That's not necessary..."

After much hesitation, Xi Lin gritted his teeth and whispered, "He thinks I'm a thief who's trying to steal your beauty."

"That's all?"

"That's all!"

If Xi Lin's eyes had been more resolute, Song Yanxi might have believed his lies.

She didn't say anything else, just stared at him without blinking.

Xi Lin felt his back crawl under her gaze, and he couldn't help but rub his arms and asked, "What do you mean by that look? Can I really deceive you?"

Song Yanxi still stared at him without saying a word.

Xi Lin was already feeling guilty, and she stared at him until cold sweats broke out on his back. Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore and said, "I'll tell you, isn't it okay for me to tell you?"
