Chapter 80: Xie Heng is blamed again



After getting the space bracelet back, Xia Zhiliao’s happiness returned.

In the middle of winter, let alone in the countryside, even in the county, I’m afraid you can hardly find any fruits.

But Xia Zhiliao was able to eat all kinds of fruits in the space. If she wasn't afraid that her family would worry if she didn't eat enough for dinner, she really would like to have some Sunshine Rose.

But it doesn't matter. In the spring of next year, she will start her old job here. As a PhD from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, isn't farming a piece of cake?

What's more, there is also a cheating space bracelet.

When she came out, she picked up a few books. These were old versions with traditional Chinese characters, so they would not be out of place in this era.

"Fifth Uncle, this is for you!" Xia Zhiliao ran happily to Xia Jinqing's room.

"This is..." Xia Jinqing took the book, flipped through two pages, and looked at Xia Zhiliao with a look of surprise. It took him a long time to speak, "This...where did you get this medical book?"

In order to let Xia Jinjun study and pursue a career in politics, Old Lady Xia actually spent a lot of money. There were two large wooden boxes at home, which were full of books.

Xia Zhiliao had flipped through some of these books before, but they were not very useful and were of no use to his father in high school.

"In the box!" Xia Zhiliao lied, where else could he have said it came from?

Xia Jinjun frowned, "In the box!"

"Hmm!" Xia Zhiliao felt a little guilty and deliberately changed the subject, "Uncle Wu, is this book useful? Can it help you?"

"It's useful, extremely useful. With these books, I can become an apprentice several years earlier." Xia Jinqing said excitedly.

However, he was not so easily led away, "Zhi Liao, tell me the truth..."

[It’s over, it’s over. Uncle Wu won’t know that I lied! ]

"Is it Mr. Xie..."

"That's right." Xia Zhiliao said and looked at Xia Jinqing blankly.

Xia Jinqing smiled, "That's what I told you. It must have been bought by Master Xie. He didn't want me to accept his favor, so he told you that?"

"Um...Uncle Wu, actually..."

"In fact, he is a person who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside." Xia Jinqing said.

Xia Zhiliao looked at his fifth uncle who had misunderstood him, and hesitated whether to explain.

But if my fifth uncle really pursues the matter, I won't be able to explain it.

After all, she had no money on her, so even if she said she bought it, her uncle wouldn't believe her.

"Of course, the one I want to thank the most is Zhiliao of our family. If it weren't for you, Mr. Xie wouldn't have given me the book." Xia Jinqing patted Xia Zhiliao's head, then took out a bag of candy balls, "Take it and share it with your brothers."

Xia Zhiliao actually had no interest in the super-sweet sugar balls from ancient times. She was planning to ask her aunt to make some nougat, add some crushed peanuts and nuts, and sell them on the street during the New Year.

"Thank you, Uncle Wu. You really love me."

"Silly girl, who else would I love if not you?" Xia Jinqing said with a smile: "By the way, Uncle Wu has always wanted to ask you a question."

"You say."

"It's just... I've always been curious about how you made the antidote that Master Xie wanted. You were so busy yesterday that I didn't have time to ask you."

Xia Zhiliao had already thought about this, so she was not afraid to ask, and she thought it was a good thing to ask.

"In the book!" Xia Zhiliao brought Xia Jinqing to the big wooden box, and after searching here and there, they actually found a medical book.

Xia Zhiliao thought about it when he saw it, and when he really had to take action, he pushed it upwards.

"There's an antidote here."

Xia Jinqing did not flip through the pages. He had of course read this book before and remembered its contents. It did record some prescriptions for clearing away heat and detoxifying. He did not expect that the little girl would actually use them.

Since he asked, he wanted to get it clear.

"Then last time..."

"Last time?" Xia Zhi looked confused. "What happened last time?"

Xia Jinqing suddenly paused. He wanted to ask her how she knew how to change her baby's body last time, but if he asked, how could he explain that he could hear the little girl's inner thoughts?

"Nothing..." Xia Jinqing smiled.

However, he soon figured out this doubt.

Because he saw a medical book about women's childbirth, which recorded in detail the technique of changing the fetus.

But Mr. Xie didn't come home at that time.

But he felt that Mr. Xie had known about cicadas for a long time, and perhaps he had bought them a long time ago.

After all, medical books were more attractive to him, so he had no time to think about these things. As long as they were not stolen or robbed, he would feel relieved.

Xia Zhiliao also took a few books for her father.

With the experience from Xia Jinqing, she also thought about the source of the book this time. However, she didn't expect that after Xia Jinjun took a look at it, he immediately determined that it was given to her by Xie Heng.

Although Xia Zhiliao had thought so too, he was still a little unhappy when he saw his father's ecstatic look. It was really a good deal for that kid Xie Heng.

"I knew that such a good book must be available to Master Xie. We... ordinary people can't buy it."

Xia Jinjun held the book in his arms, not only feeling the joy of having obtained a good book, but also the pride of being noticed by the prince.

He felt that Xie Heng must have some expectations of him by leaving the book for him.

That means he thinks he is a talented person, otherwise why would he have such thoughts?

How can I not be proud to be recognized by the prince?

At the moment, he was still an unlucky guy who had failed the exams for many years. Even being an unpopular prince was an unattainable mountain for him.

A lean camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how unpopular he is, he is still the emperor's son, and officials have to kneel and kowtow when they see him.

Xie Heng and his servant both looked unhappy, especially Xie Heng, who was as cold as a thousand-year-old ice cave at the moment, and Ling He didn't even dare to approach him.

But I couldn't help but be rude and curious.

"Master... this little girl is really ruthless."

Xie Heng said nothing.

"Have you...did you do anything to her these past two days?"

Xie Heng squinted at him, "What can I do to her?"

"I...I don't know. I'm just curious. You've been so good to her. You helped her mother find out her past and asked me to teach her brother martial arts. Isn't she repaying kindness with enmity?"

Xie Heng looked at him deeply.

Ling He said with a guilty conscience: "Your subordinate... Your subordinate is standing up for you. This time the little girl really went too far. You didn't give the bracelet to her. When she comes to you for it later, you can..."

“Give it to me!”

"Give? Give?" Ling He widened his eyes in disbelief, "That jade bracelet is so important, and you...you just gave it to her like that!"

"What else?" Xie Heng asked back.

"You...seem...seem...to be kind to that little girl..." Ling He had never seen his master care so much about anyone.

He had no intention of taking advantage of her, nor did he want anything from her. After all, in his opinion, there was nothing to gain.

"Ling He, anyone who knows too much will be silenced."

Ling He's face turned pale in an instant.
