Chapter 11: The Xie Family is Disgusting
The second box contained bedding such as quilt covers and blankets.
The last thing in the box was a pitiful silver ingot.
The bedding is high-quality silk bedding.
The outer cover is also made of silk and looks expensive.
Sadly, it has been used by others.
There were even faint bloodstains on the silk quilt.
Judging from the location, color, and size of the bloodstains, the silk quilt is most likely stained with menstrual blood.
It would have been bad enough to give her a second-hand dowry, but he also gave her bedding stained with menstrual blood.
The Xie family is disgusting.
Xie Yingmian simply opened all the boxes.
There were sixty-four loads of dowry, and except for the first eight loads which had silver ingots as a dowry, the rest had no dowry.
Second-hand clothes, second-hand bedding, second-hand accessories...
Apart from some worthless large items, most of the things in the dowry were discarded and no longer wanted.
Good, very good.
She had known that the Xie family treated the original owner badly, but she had not expected that they were so shameless.
I have learned a lot today.
Xie Yingmian didn't change her clothes, she just washed her face.
Seeing that she was still wearing her bloodstained wedding gown, Yu Lingye asked in confusion, "Didn't you go change clothes?"
Xie Yingmian didn't hide anything.
The Xie family is not afraid of losing face, and she is even less afraid.
Not only did she not hide it, she also wanted to make the Xie family's shameless actions public.
"The clothes in the dowry were all second-hand. I don't have the habit of wearing second-hand clothes."
Yu Lingye was silent.
Second-hand items were used as dowry and sent to the palace.
The vision of the mistress of the Xie family is really ridiculously low.
There were no clothes suitable for Xie Yingmian in the palace.
"Help Mo." Yu Lingye said, "Let's go to Baibao Pavilion and buy some ready-made clothes."
Xie Yingmian did not refuse.
She had no clothes to wear, so she couldn't just wear her bloodstained wedding dress.
"I want something clean and comfortable, not too expensive, and not too complicated in style. In short, I want something with a good value for money."
Finished.
She was so stingy that she gave Fu Mo two silver ingots.
This silver ingot is the most valuable one.
When a noble married off his daughter, a layer of silver or gold ingots would be placed on top of each piece of dowry.
She found only eight.
Assuming one silver ingot weighs ten taels, the total is eighty taels.
She hasn't received the medical fee yet, so she has to spend it frugally.
"Just buy two sets." Xie Yingmian said, "No need to buy shoes."
Fu Mo stared at the two silver ingots in his hand in a daze.
A decent set of clothes for a maidservant in the palace would cost more than ten taels.
Yu Lingye said, "Buy six sets according to normal specifications."
"The expenses will be charged to my account."
Xie Yingmian asked cautiously, "What are normal specifications?"
Fu Mo replied: "Three hundred to five hundred taels per set."
Xie Yingmian:!
One set costs three hundred taels, and six sets costs one thousand eight hundred taels.
Money should be spent wisely, and comfortable clothes are enough.
Besides, she would be running away soon, and it would be a waste to have such gorgeous clothes that she couldn't wear them.
"Just buy me the regular ones."
Yu Lingye emphasized: "Put it on my account."
Xie Yingmian: "I don't have the habit of owing money. I will use the consultation fee to offset it when the time comes. In the end, it will still be my money."
"No, absolutely not."
Yu Lingye repeatedly explained that her clothes and jewelry were normal expenses of the palace. The princess had the standards of a princess, and the maid had the standards of a maid.
Everyone has a different identity and different standards, so you can't wear anything randomly.
Xie Yingmian understood.
Being a princess is a profession.
If you are a princess for a day, you have to wear the professional attire reserved for princesses.
Professional attire is an employee benefit and she doesn't need to spend extra money to buy it.
Thinking of this, Xie Yingmian accepted it with peace of mind.
Yu Lingye: ...
I always feel like something is wrong.
He couldn't say exactly what was wrong.
"Two sets will be enough." Xie Yingmian said to Fu Mo, "You don't need six sets."
The dowry prepared by the Xie family cannot be just let go like this.
She will ask the Xie family to deliver the things that belong to the original owner.
The Xie family not only had to give it to her, but also had to beg her to accept it.
By the time the Xie family delivers the things, she will have plenty of clothes and won't need so many spare ones.
Yu Lingye didn't continue to dwell on this issue.
He nodded at Fu Mo.
Fu Mo took the order and left.
"I heard from Fu Mo that you can cure their poison?" Yu Lingye asked.
Xie Yingmian: "Okay."
Yu Lingye: "Do you know what poison Fu Mo was poisoned with?"
Xie Yingmian: "I know."
Yu Lingye was waiting for her to continue.
Xie Yingmian stopped talking.
She found a place to sit down, crossed her legs, and adjusted her breathing.
Yu Lingye waited for a long time but did not get any response from Xie Yingmian.
He turned his head and saw Xie Yingmian sitting in a chair with his eyes closed in meditation.
The sunlight slanted and shone through the window lattice onto Xie Yingmian's face.
Perhaps because he had been staying at the farm for many years, Xie Yingmian's skin was a little dark and he looked thin.
Her eyelashes are very long, and when she closes her eyes, her eyelashes cover her eyelids like small palm-leaf fans.
The nose is delicate and exquisite, and the lips are just right.
Just looking at the facial features, each one is very delicate.
When put together, there is an amazing sense of harmony and fluidity.
It's like an inspired master painter who paints with a single stroke of his brush to create a masterpiece.
Even Yu Lingye himself didn't notice that he had been staring at her for a quarter of an hour.
Xie Yingmian felt a pair of eyes glued to him.
This gaze lingered.
"Your Majesty, I remember I washed my face. Why are you staring at me like that? Is there still dirt on my face?"
Only then did Yu Lingye realize that he had been staring at Xie Yingmian for too long.
To ease the embarrassment.
He coughed lightly: "You haven't answered my question yet."
Xie Yingmian thought about it but couldn't figure out where she missed the answer.
"Sorry, I don't remember. Why don't you ask again?"
Yu Lingye: "What kind of poison did Fu Mo get?"
Xie Yingmian said seriously, "I have a good memory, and I can confirm that you haven't asked this question."
Yu Lingye: "I'm asking now."
Xie Yingmian replied, "The poison that Fu Mo and his friends were poisoned with should be called the Seven-Day Silk-Wrapping Poison."
Yu Lingye frowned: "Seven-day silk poison?"
"Have you heard of Chansi Jin?" Xie Yingmian asked.
"Tai Chi uses the reeling force, which is spiral-shaped, originating from within and manifesting externally. It appears soft, but is actually strong."
"The Silk-Twisting Poison and the Silk-Twisting Power have similar effects."
"If the poisoned person doesn't use their internal energy, they won't notice it. Once they do, the poison will destroy their internal energy."
"The disintegration method is very similar to the twisting silk force. It uses spiral force to wrap around the meridians, and when the poisoned person uses internal energy, it will be entangled, gradually draining the poisoned person's internal energy."
Yu Lingye asked, "Does this poison only cause people to lose their Kung Fu?"
Xie Yingmian replied, "If it's an ordinary silk-binding poison, it would be like this."
"But the ones they have are not ordinary silk-binding poison, they are seven-day silk-binding poison."
"If you're poisoned by the seven-day silk-binding poison, you'll experience two seven-day periods."
"In the first seven days, drain the poisoned person's internal energy, turning them from a master into an ordinary person."
"During the second seven days, the poisoned person's internal organs will be impacted by the spiral force. On the seventh day, they will undoubtedly die."
Yu Lingye looked solemn.
"What stage is Fu Mo in?" he asked.
Xie Yingmian said: "The second stage."
"He has three days left to live."
