This time when he went out, Xu Jinyi was not polite and ordered a table full of delicious dishes to entertain Xinyue.
The two of them had dinner together, and Xinyue discovered another side of Xu Jinyi.
"Everyone says that you, sister, are from the countryside and don't know the rules and etiquette. Look at your etiquette, it's obvious that you have learned it better than me."
Xu Jinyi smiled and said, "Isn't it all just eating, drinking, defecating and urinating? Who is more noble than the other? Can't a country bumpkin give gifts?"
Xinyue nodded: "It's just that ugly people often do bad things."
Xu Jinyi picked up a mantis shrimp and ate it, and couldn't help but praise: "This restaurant is really good, they have all kinds of seafood, and the chef's skills are also very good."
"Sister, you can come often if you like. This restaurant is owned by my brother. My family owns shipping vessels, so we have no shortage of seafood."
"So I opened this restaurant. If you come, just say hello to the owner."
Xu Jinyi blinked and stared at the huge table of food in front of her. Did she end up hooking up with a rich man?
"Your brother belongs to your brother. If we agreed to treat you, then it's mine."
Xinyue nodded: "Okay, then it's my turn to treat my sister tomorrow."
Then Xinyue told her to come to the Regent's Palace every day to take classes with her.
"Sister, if you come, those people from the Xu family won't dare to bully you. You'll have a reason to go out every day and won't have to face those people in the Shangshu Mansion every day."
"Of course, if you don't want to come, then don't come. This will only benefit you and not harm you."
Seeing that Xu Jinyi had no intention of nodding, Xinyue began to act coquettishly: "Sister, come on, come on. You will be forced to learn those etiquette rules in the Shangshu Mansion anyway, so why not come with me to keep you company."
"Come on, come on!"
That look almost made Xu Jinyi agree, but in the end she only agreed to consider it.
After the meal, Xu Jinyi insisted on paying the bill. She didn't want others to think that she was taking advantage of the children.
Thinking of this, Xu Jinyi suddenly asked: "Xinyue, how old are you this year?"
Xinyue's face froze for a moment, a trace of bitterness flashed in her eyes, and then she smiled heartlessly and said, "Sister, guess?"
"Nine?"
Xinyue shook her head mysteriously: "Sister, you must be wrong."
Xu Jinyi thought of the poison in her body, and then asked, "Eleven years old?"
Xinyue still shook her head.
At this time, Xu Jinyi's eyes changed when he looked at Xinyue, and they were filled with pity.
Because considering the poison in Xinyue's body, her body size definitely cannot be too big.
Her current body shape looks like that of a seven to nine-year-old, but she still considers her self-esteem and says that she is a bit too big.
If she is not even eleven, then she can only be eleven or older.
In other words, the poison in her body has been there for many years, which has caused her body size to not grow.
I guess there must be a miracle doctor around her, otherwise the poison in her body would not only stop her growth.
However, that miracle doctor probably couldn't detoxify her body, otherwise why would he just suppress it?
Xu Jinyi rubbed her head and didn't continue to guess or touch her sore spot.
Since she is already eleven years old and calls herself sister, her age is obvious.
So the Princess Xinyue in front of him was probably not as eccentric as she seemed, or maybe she was deliberately creating an illusion.
In order to protect her self-esteem and prevent others from feeling sorry for her, she pretends not to care, not to care about worldly affairs, and not to understand the ways of the world.
She even deliberately created the reputation of a little witch.
"Aren't you curious, sister?" Xinyue asked.
"I won't pry into other people's privacy or poke at their pain points out of curiosity."
Xinyue smiled, and this time her smile was no longer a fake one, but revealed a depth that should belong to her age: "Sister is indeed different."
"Actually, I'm thirteen years old this year, and I'll be fourteen in a month."
Xu Jinyi nodded.
"Aren't you surprised, sister? Don't you want to ask why?"
Xu Jinyi remained silent, looking at her instead. Then he spoke slowly, "Have you forgotten the rumors out there? I'm a country bumpkin, earning a meager living by cheating people through medical practice?"
Xinyue burst out laughing: "So, does my sister really know how to treat a disease, or is her medical skills just mediocre?"
"What do you think?" Xu Jinyi asked back.
Xinyue was stunned.
He had a vague suspicion in his heart, and felt that his idea was a bit silly. The sister in front of him was so young, even if his medical skills were real, it would be impossible for him to really see what was wrong with her.
"I'm 30% sure that the poison in you is gone." Xu Jinyi suddenly said.
Xinyue's almond-shaped eyes widened and blinked, and she even wondered if there was something wrong with her ears.
"Sister, did you just speak?"
Xu Jinyi laughed: "You heard it right."
Xinyue looked at her in disbelief: "Sister, are you serious? Can you really see the problem with me?"
Xinyue really found it hard to believe. After all, her brother was the regent. He had searched for every miracle doctor in the world, but the number of doctors who could diagnose her illness could be counted on one hand.
Even Shangguan could only suppress it, and the person in front of her was only a few years old, how could he possibly see her problem.
"Beauty Powder, also known as Retaining Beauty Fragrance, was developed by a famous female emperor in history who sought the secret of immortality."
"It's not so easy to achieve immortality and maintain youthful appearance, so I created the beauty powder you are wearing now."
"The person who developed this beauty powder has been dead for hundreds of years. There's not even a prescription for it, so naturally there's no antidote either."
"As for you, you should have become younger and younger after taking the medicine, until you turned into a baby and died. But judging by your current state, you must have received help from a miracle doctor."
Xinyue was stunned. After listening to Xu Jinyi and Shangguan Wuer's descriptions, she completely believed Xu Jinyi.
He squeezed her hand excitedly and spoke incoherently: "Sister, sister, are you really sure you can cure me?"
"Sister, if you can really save me, Xinyue's life will be yours in the future. Sister, Xinyue can give you whatever you want."
Xu Jinyi patted her on the back and naturally knew why she was so excited. Because she was still alive, the pain she had to endure behind the scenes was not something that ordinary people could endure.
"Don't get excited. I'm only 30% sure. I'm not sure if I can help you."
"It doesn't matter. Even if I have a 10% chance of success, I'm willing to give it a try." Having said this, Xinyue started crying in the carriage.
"Sister, you don't know, if it weren't for my brother, I would have wanted to die a long time ago. Even though I can maintain this state of life now, my life is more painful than death."
"I……"
Xu Jinyi made a gesture to keep quiet: "I know, I know everything. It must be very painful at night, right?"
Xinyue was really impressed this time. She nodded repeatedly and held Xu Jinyi tightly, as if she was holding a savior.
"You even know what I go through every night. You can definitely save me, right?" Xinyue burst into tears.
