"Son, don't worry. This news is definitely correct. The people from Medicine King Valley have really come out of the mountains and into the capital."
"Your face can be saved this time."
There are many happy events. Xu Qingyan is getting married tomorrow, and he is also very happy to know that his face may be restored.
Only Brother Xu stopped eating with his chopsticks for a moment, and then continued eating as if nothing had happened.
Seeing Xu Jinyi coming in, Xu's mother greeted her with a fawning look on her face and didn't even eat her meal.
"Xiao Jin is back. You must have worked hard at the Regent's Palace today. Mother wanted to ask if you heard any news about Medicine King Valley while you were there."
"Everyone knows about Princess Xinyue's health. If someone from Medicine King Valley comes, the Regent will definitely ask for help. Your eldest brother's reputation needs help, so mother wants you to mention it to the Princess."
Xu Jinyi gave a mocking smile: "I am just the princess's teacher, how could I possibly know these things? If mother wants to ask a doctor, why don't you go and ask in person?"
"You kid, you are so familiar with the princess, the princess will definitely agree to your request. Your eldest brother is getting married tomorrow. If you don't ask, it will be considered a wedding gift for your eldest brother."
Xu Jinyi: "I think that Big Brother was able to marry my sister-in-law with his face like this, which shows that this is true love. This scar is proof of it. It's fine to keep it. Why bother with all that effort?"
Xu Qingyan glared at her: "You ungrateful bastard! We are blood brothers and sisters after all. If you don't want to help, forget it. What are you saying?!"
Xu Jinyi scoffed, "You know I don't want to, so why are you asking?"
Mother Xu frowned, looking dissatisfied. "Xiao Jin, your brother got himself into this mess just to take you home. It's fine if you don't feel any guilt, but you're unwilling to help ask a few questions. How can you be so cold-blooded?"
Xu Jinyi mocked back: "Oh? Really? That's what he told you? Was his face made just to pick me up?"
Xu's mother's kind face could no longer be pretended. "How could I give birth to a daughter as vicious as you? My eldest brother was attacked by a wolf on the way to pick you up. It's a sure thing. How can you deny it?"
Xu Jinyi actually laughed out loud. "He wanted to hurt others but ended up hurting himself. He deserved it! He deliberately stayed in the forest to make me suffer and beg for mercy, to temper my temper."
"He was afraid that his beloved sister would be wronged if I came back, so he wanted to warn me and deliberately stopped in the forest to make me obey."
"The next town was only ten kilometers away, but he deliberately made me suffer for the sake of his beloved sister. He simply didn't expect there would be wolves."
"If I hadn't startled the horse and been carried away in the chaos, I might have died in that forest because of his decision, and been eaten by wolves without leaving a trace."
"Is such a person worthy of being called Big Brother? Don't even think about asking me to ask about the whereabouts of the people from Medicine King Valley. Even if I knew them, I would never ask them for help."
"I'm lucky I didn't kick someone when they're down."
Xu Qingyan exploded with rage: "If you weren't so sharp-tongued and unyielding, I would have tried to temper your temper. How could I have ended up like this?"
"Look, this is my biological elder brother? He didn't show any joy when he picked me up. All he said was his precious sister. He didn't show any joy at all for me."
"If he wants to heal his face now, let his precious sister help him. What does it have to do with me?"
Mother Xu wanted to say something but was stopped by Xu Qingyan.
"Mother, please stop talking. Maybe she's unwilling to help simply because she doesn't have much presence in front of the princess. It's useless to ask her for help."
Xu Jinyi didn't refute: "Yeah, I'm just a nobody, so it's no use telling me, it's better to go and ask for it yourself."
After Xu Jinyi left, Xu's mother was so angry that she smashed her bowl and said, "Master, look at her attitude. Even if she really gets close to the Regent, will it really benefit us?"
"She holds a grudge against us for what we did before. Even if she does end up having something with the Regent in the future, it will probably be a disaster for us."
Mother Xu was so angry that she was fuming. She had raised several children, but only Xu Jinyi could make her angry to death every time.
Minister Xu's face darkened as he slammed the table. "Alright, don't say anything. You were too soft-hearted back then, thinking a daughter from the countryside would embarrass you. That's why when she came back, you didn't see her eyes, and your nose didn't look like a nose. Now you're fine."
"Look at Wanwan, the girl you're so proud of. Go out and listen to what people are saying. I feel so embarrassed when I hear it."
"You mistook fish eyes for pearls. What does it mean if the Queen Mother is gone?"
Xu's mother looked at him solemnly: "Do you mean that the world is going to change?"
"There have been rumors these past two days. It's not clear what Xiao Jin's relationship is like there, but she eats there every day. Given that relationship, you can't do anything to her."
"Send a bowl of sugar water over later and have a good chat with her. It would be best if you can coax her back."
Hearing this, Xu's mother's face became very long, but she still obeyed and brought over a bowl of lotus seed soup.
As soon as they met, Xu's mother became angry.
"Xiao Jin, I was a little irritated just now. Don't take it to heart. This is the lotus seed soup I made myself. Try it and see if it tastes good."
"Your eldest brother's face has become like this, and mother is also worried. It's rare for people from Medicine King Valley to come, and their whereabouts are uncertain, so I am a little anxious."
Xu Jinyi sat in front of the dressing mirror, combing her hair out of boredom, looking indifferently at the bowl of lotus seed soup through the mirror.
"Mother, please leave this lotus seed soup for your new daughter-in-law. I'm allergic to lotus seeds and can't eat them."
Xu's mother's face froze for a moment: "Is that so? Then I'll make you something else next time. What do you like to eat?"
Mother Xu stared at her and suddenly realized that her daughter was truly extremely beautiful, with every detail of her being exquisite.
That beautiful figure makes women even more impulsive.
"No need for that. The steward at the Prince Regent's Palace is very nice to me. He will prepare whatever I want to eat."
Xu's mother's chest was heaving, how could he not hear the disgust in her tone.
But she had to be humble: "Xiao Jin, mother knows that when you came back, mother did not do the right thing. It was mother who was partial to you. You are angry, mother understands."
"Let me compensate you well in the future, okay?"
Xu Jinyi smiled faintly: "Then how does mother plan to compensate me?"
Xu's mother didn't expect her to ask this question. Most people would not delve into it as deeply as she did.
"Mom will definitely take better care of you in the future. Tell me if you need anything."
Xu Jinyi extended his hand towards her: "I heard that Xu Jingwan used to spend a thousand taels a month at home, and she also spent a lot of money on new clothes and jewelry during festivals."
"Let's take the lower one, twenty thousand taels a year, that's three hundred and twenty thousand taels in sixteen years. How about mother give me the compensation first?"
