"Son, don't worry. The news this time is definitely correct. The people from Medicine King Valley have really come out of the mountains to the capital."

"Your face can be saved this time."

There are so 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 bother to eat.

"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 at the Regent's Palace?"

"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 just 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?"

"Child, you are so familiar with the princess, the princess will definitely agree to your request. Your elder brother will get married tomorrow. If you don't ask, it will be regarded as a wedding gift for your elder brother."

Xu Jinyi: "I think that big brother can marry his sister-in-law with such a face, which shows that this is true love. This scar is proof. It's fine to keep it. Why bother with all that effort?"

Xu Qingyan glared at her: "You ungrateful bastard, after all, we are blood brothers and sisters? If you don't want to help, forget it, what are you saying?!"

Xu Jinyi sneered: "You know I don't want to, so why are you asking?"

Mother Xu frowned, looking dissatisfied: "Xiao Jin, your elder brother made his face like this just to take you back. It's ok that you don't feel guilty, but you are 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? His face was made just to pick me up?"

Xu's mother couldn't keep pretending to be kind any longer. "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 done deal. 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 when I came back, so he wanted to warn me and deliberately stopped in the forest to make me obedient."

"The next town was only ten kilometers away, but he deliberately made me suffer for the sake of his beloved sister. I just didn't expect there would be a pack of wolves."

"If I hadn't startled the horse and been carried away by it in the chaos, I might have died in that forest because of his decision, and been eaten by wolves without leaving anything behind."

"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 know them, I will never ask them for help."

"I'm lucky I didn't add insult to injury."

Xu Qingyan was furious: "If you weren't so sharp-tongued and unreasonable, I would have wanted 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. He just called me his beloved sister. He didn't show any joy at all."

"If you want to treat your face now, ask his precious sister to help. What does it have to do with me?"

Mother Xu wanted to say something but was stopped by Xu Qingyan.

"Mom, please stop talking. Maybe she is unwilling to help because she has no sense of existence in front of the princess. It is useless to ask her."

Xu Jinyi did not refute: "Yes, I am a nobody, so it is useless to tell me, it is better to ask for it yourself."

After Xu Jinyi left, Xu's mother was so angry that she smashed her rice bowl: "Master, look at her attitude. Even if she really gets close to the Regent, will it really be good for us?"

"She holds a grudge against us for what we did before. Even if she does have 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 raised several children, but only Xu Jinyi could make her angry to death every time.

Minister Xu's face was gloomy, and he slapped the table again: "Alright, don't say anything. You were too soft-hearted at the beginning, thinking that a daughter coming back from the countryside would bring shame to you, so when she came back, your eyes were not eyes, and your nose was not a nose. Now it's all right."

"Look at Wanwan, the girl you are 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?"

Mother Xu looked at him solemnly: "Do you mean that things are 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 this 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 was very long, but she still obeyed and brought a bowl of lotus seed soup over.

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 that someone from Medicine King Valley has 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 am allergic to lotus seeds and cannot eat them."

Xu's mother's face froze for a moment: "Is that so? Then I'll make something else for you 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 butler at the Prince Regent's Palace is very nice to me. He will prepare whatever I want to eat."

Xu's mother's chest heaved, how could he not hear the disgust in her tone.

But she had to be humble and said, "Xiao Jin, I know that when you came back, I did something wrong. I was biased. You are angry, and I understand."

"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 care of you in the future. Tell me if you need anything."

Xu Jinyi stretched out his hand towards her: "I heard that Xu Jingwan used to spend 1,000 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, 20,000 taels a year, 320,000 taels in 16 years. How about mother giving me the compensation first?"
