Gao Miao didn't like Xin Yi, and hated that she was so close to her uncle. She would gnash her teeth and hate each other whenever she spoke.

Xin Yi knew exactly why, smiled slightly, and saluted her from a distance.

"Your Majesty is well."

Gao Miao secretly grinded her teeth, snorted coldly and turned away, deliberately embarrassing Xin Yi.

Cao Yi smiled helplessly and said goodbye to Xin Yi.

"My dear, please come back. There is no need to send you far away."

Xin Yi originally didn't intend to send her away far away, she just did it out of politeness. After hearing this, she smiled lightly, said "Sir, go slowly", and turned around with a smile.

Gao Miao's low, cold voice came from behind.

"Brother-in-law, you have to be careful of this witch, she is very capable of causing mischief..."

Cao Yi looked at Xin Yi's back leaving calmly, feeling inexplicably embarrassed, and scolded Gao Miao angrily.

"Don't talk nonsense. Marquis Zhang Du Yu died for his country, and you should respect his wife."

Gao Miao choked back in dissatisfaction, "Marquis Zhang Du Yu never liked her. A snake-scorpion woman, a vicious stepmother, with a mind like a thief, how can she afford my respect?"

The word "thief" mainly refers to his unwillingness to do what happened at the ditch. Xin Yi looked back at her playfully, raised his eyebrows, and smiled jokingly. Gao Miao immediately blushed and gritted his teeth in anger.

"Little uncle, don't be deceived by her. This ugly woman is always scheming and very vicious..."

"Taotao!" Cao Yi lowered his face to stop her: "The truth behind the Taoist's back is not something that a gentleman can do..."

"Brother-in-law! You don't know how cruel she is. She..."

Xin Yi suddenly turned around, winked at her, and warned with a smile. Gao Miao was so angry that she clenched the horse's reins, but she still didn't dare to tell Cao Yi about the grievances she suffered at the canal.

"I just hate her, I hate her so much! She's so ugly."

…

The body of Butcher Wang was sent by Kaifeng Prefecture Yamen to collect the body. I heard that it was first carried to Yizhuang, where an autopsy would be done before being handed over to his family for burial.

When people from the Kaifeng Mansion came to bury the body, they asked the Zhang family some questions and privately asked Xin Yi and Wang Butcher about the matter.

The head catcher asked her to sign a pledge and left directly.

Another member of the Zhang family died during the funeral. When the news spread, rumors spread and people were panicked.

When people talk about Zhangjiacun and Mrs. Zhang, they can’t help but feel afraid...

Xin Yi was completely unaware of the gossip outside. She hid in her room alone and took her own pulse again and again. She felt for a while that she had a pulse, and for a while she felt that it wasn't. For a while, she felt that Mr. Cui was just covering up for her. For a while, she felt that Mr. Cui was telling the truth.

…

Finally, she changed her clothes uneasily and went out to Lu's house, hoping to meet Dr. Cui by chance.

As soon as he entered the inner courtyard of the Lu family, he saw a woman who looked like a wet nurse coming out of the back room holding a flower cloth swaddling clothes, looking very sneaky.

The wind was strong under the porch, and a corner of the swaddling clothes was blown up by the wind. Xin Yi accidentally caught a glimpse of the several-month-old baby with a flat face, dull eyes, drooling at the corners of the mouth, and obvious cleft lip and palate...

The wet nurse looked at her from a distance, nervously clutched the swaddling clothes and walked away.

A strange feeling arose in Xin Yi's heart.

Is this the "freak" born from the water ghost's curse?

·

Perhaps because of Cao Yi's instructions, Mrs. Cao no longer hid Xin Yi's secrets.

In addition to her eldest son Tiedan, she actually has a younger son named Shitou, who is less than six months old.

Unfortunately, Shitou, like the children born in Zhangjiacun in the past two years, had congenital defects, a rabbit-like mouth, a flat face, and dull eyes, which made him look stupid at first glance.

Both the Lu family and Xiao Cao's family felt that the child was so embarrassing that they did not even let the relatives and neighbors know about the child's existence.

When someone asked, they only said that the child died after birth.

Since then, the stone has been hidden deep inside the house and has never been seen by anyone.

This is also the reason why Tiedan hates Xinyi and the Zhang family.

"The changes in the village started from the day you married into Zhangjiacun."

"From that day on, whenever a woman is pregnant, she will either have a miscarriage or an incomplete birth, and the children born will be more or less defective..."

When Miss Cao told Xin Yi these words, her voice still trembled slightly.

Xin Yi went home and thought for a long time, and then rummaged through all the household items and leftover items in Mrs. Zhang’s room. After thinking about it, she couldn’t find any necessary connection between Mrs. Zhang and the water ghost case.

I don’t even understand why someone would deliberately murder her?

However, now she is in the vortex of the case. Regardless of whether she has Cao Yi's "pleasure" or not, she must find out the truth of the case——

Now that things have happened, Xin Yi is ready to not go back for a long time.

If she wants to gain a foothold in this world, she must have money.

The city of Bianjing has developed commerce. She can make a living by "showing her face", and she can also treat illnesses and save people. However, it is more difficult for a woman to be independent than a man, and she needs more money...

Especially the current situation is really not good for her.

She has to make long-term plans for her own survival.

Fu Jiuqu did not break his promise and quickly sent Sun Huai to deliver burn plaster.

A jar of ice tiger scald ointment is wrapped in a brocade pouch embroidered with fortune, fortune and auspicious clouds, embellished with tassels and pearls, and sealed with a gold silk strip. At first glance, it is not ordinary.

It is so gorgeous and exquisite, it really looks like the style of Guangling County Prince.

Xin Yi's burns were not serious, the most painful thing was the strangled neck.

"Grandpa, thank you for your hard work."

Sun Huai looked at her with a smile and didn't say much, but deep down he felt that this young lady was too casual. How could she accept the prince's favor so carelessly?

Instead of saying gratitude, is it appropriate to be so aggressive?

"Little lady, we have one more thing to say..."

Xin Yi hummed, with a faint smile on his lips.

Sun Huai's scalp felt a little numb when he looked at him. He coughed lightly and said with a smile: "Uncle Shilu's family is a noble family... Sigh, there are many rules in a wealthy family like this, but the little lady is still

Don't get too close to him, otherwise you will avoid unreasonable disaster."

"What do you mean, father-in-law?"

“The meaning is in the words.”

Xin Yi's heart was filled with turmoil, but his face was calm and calm.

"Is this what the father-in-law means, or is it the instructions of the Guangling County Prince?"

Sun Huai smiled and said, "Young lady, just think that our family is troubled... I also find it hard for you, young lady, so I have thought a little more about you."

Xin Yi also laughed.

Does this mean that she cannot reach Cao Yi? Are you warning her not to have delusions?

It seems that the Prince of Guangling County is really guarding against her like a thief. He thinks that if she, a young widow whose husband died, doesn't seduce him, she will seduce his brother-in-law?

Xin Yi suddenly felt that this matter was interesting.

"Thank you for your kind words, father-in-law. The little girl is self-aware... A man with such noble character and talent as Cao Duzhi is rare. If I have the opportunity, I will naturally want to get closer to him."

Sun Huai: "???"

That night, the Zhang family's memorial service was held as usual, but no one came to trouble Xin Yi.

Xin Yi knew that this was Fu Jiuqu's contribution.

For Liu and Zhang Zhengxiang, a couple who tend to be in favor of others, it is more important to curry favor with Fu Jiuqu than to suppress her.

Privately, Mr. Liu and Zhang Zhengxiang had already discussed the separation of their families.

The Prince of Guangling County only said that the family would be divided, but did not say what he would give her. There were three old shabby houses behind the house, which had been vacant for a long time. They were usually used to pile farm tools and firewood, so she could move in there.

As for the three children, Mrs. Liu was of course eager for Xinyi to take them away so that they would have three mouths to eat. However, Zhang Zhengxiang was a little hesitant, thinking that they would attract gossip and was afraid that Fu Jiuqu would blame them.

The couple had not reached an agreement on the matter, and Xin Yi was not in a hurry.

The mourning period for Zhang Xun had not passed yet, and she did not want to break up with Mrs. Liu.

West wing room.

The three little ones looked at Xin Yi lifting the plaster on Bing Dihu, looking around but not opening it for use. They were a little confused, but neither the first nor the second thought wanted to talk to the bad woman. Only the third thought mustered up the courage to remind

she.

"You are injured. If you apply this medicine, will it get better? Well, if your hand hurts and is inconvenient, I can help you rub it..."

Are you caring about her?

Xin Yi looked at the skinny little girl, smiled and touched her head, "How can it be so magical? There is no medicine in this world that can be cured by just applying it."

Sannian pouted, "Then what are you looking at?"

Xin Yi smiled, "I think it's worth a few dollars."

The three little ones were stunned.

Xin Yi's eyebrows moved slightly, and his smile became a little more proud.

The so-called imperial medicine Bingdihu is a burn plaster made of raw rehmannia, cooked rehmannia, knotweed, borneol, cattail, gardenia and rhubarb as the main raw materials, plus pearl powder, pangolin, etc. It is very effective for minor injuries of Xinyi.

In other words, it is no better than her homemade medicine.

Of course, the value of the ointment goes far beyond this.

She has better plans.
