Mulan left in a hurry, leaving Xia Qingqing and the other two to continue eating. Arlin ate the meal with some fear.

Now she has no idea who Xia Qingqing is.

Isn’t the child of the prince a princess?

If it was the princess, wouldn't Brother Xiao's grievances be redressed? But she didn't dare to act rashly. If officials turned against each other, it would be troublesome.

Xiao Wuzi was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling and was enjoying the meal very much.

"It's delicious. I haven't eaten so much in a long time. Thank you, sister."

Xia Qingqing smiled and said, "Aren't we friends?"

After dinner, Alin boiled a pot of water, took out some tea leaves that were treasured at home, and made a pot of tea for Xia Qingqing.

After drinking tea, Xia Qingqing finally asked, "Aunt Lin, I'd like to ask who the Uncle Xiao that Xiao Wuzi mentioned is?"

When Arlene heard this, she was shocked all over and rubbed her fingers, not knowing where to start. She didn't know why Xia Qingqing cared about Brother Xiao's affairs.

"Don't let your imagination run wild. I just feel like he's an old friend of mine." Xia Qingqing said sincerely.

Xiao Wuzi looked at Arlene and said seriously, "Mother, my sister is a good person, just tell her."

Arlin thought for a moment and said, "Actually, there's nothing to hide. Brother Xiao's name is Xiao Xing. He's a carpenter in Fengyang Town and runs a woodworking shop."

"Fengyang Town is not far from here. It only takes half a day to get there by carriage. When I met him, he was being robbed by bandits."

At that time, Alin felt sorry for Xiao Xing and gave him some steamed bread. A few days later, she met him in the market.

He was getting some tools and told Arlene that he wanted to dig a well for the people here. Arlene was a little surprised when she heard that, but she didn't think he could draw water.

But the two of them started to interact more often, and since Xiao Wuzi liked Xiao Xing very much and often pestered him, they met frequently.

After a while, he actually dug a well. The whole Yaocheng was shocked and came to ask him how to dig a well.

But before they could be happy for long, the prefect Huang Shiren found Xiao Xing. The two talked for a long time in the inn, and soon they heard crackling sounds.

Then he was captured by the imperial officials and has not been released until now.

She spent some money to find out that Xiao Xing was ignorant and refused to cooperate with the prefect, which was why he was in this situation. If she wanted him to avoid being beaten in prison, she had to give him money.

Not long after the silver was delivered, they started charging for water use at the well and switched to delivering water.

After hearing this, Xia Qingqing roughly guessed that Huang Shiren was really greedy and was angry because the deal failed.

"However, Xiao Xing has been looking for his daughter for what seems like years," A'lin added, sighing, "He's spent all the money he earned from making wooden furniture, but he still hasn't found her. He also has no idea where his daughter has gone."

"He is a good man, we will definitely find him." Xia Qingqing said with great determination.

It seems that I have to go to the prison and then I can see Xiao Xing.

At Alin's insistence, Xia Qingqing was sent to the inn by her mother and son before leaving.

The innkeeper and the servants immediately bowed when they saw Xia Qingqing and said respectfully, "Princess, you're back."

"Manager Fang, please do me a favor."

Shopkeeper Fang was flattered and immediately said, "Princess, if you give me an order, I will do it right away."

"Dig a hole for me on the other side of the well. It doesn't have to be too deep, half a person's height." Xia Qingqing took out a silver ingot from her pocket and threw it over, saying, "Thank you for your hard work tonight. I'll buy you a drink, brothers."

Manager Fang and the servants were overjoyed. They didn't expect to get paid for working for the princess. This was so cool.

If it were their prefect, he would have to give them some money after the work was done.

After returning to her room, Xia Qingqing did not sleep. She went into the space to find some food and only lay down on the bed after eating and drinking her fill.

Recently her appetite has started to improve and she eats more and more. It seems that the baby in her belly is growing well.

Early in the morning, before daybreak, Xia Qingqing went downstairs, went to the big pit, and put the bucket filled with water into the pit, just the right amount.

He took out a chair and sat down. At this time, Manager Fang, who had just woken up, looked at the big barrel inside and was a little puzzled by the fact that there was still so much water.

"Princess, did you draw this water from that well?"

"Of course not. This water comes from my well."

After Xia Qingqing finished speaking, not only Manager Fang was shocked, but even the servant who came out was shocked.

Princess, are you kidding me?

How could there be water in such a small well? And they dug the pit themselves.

"Whatever the princess says is what it is." Manager Fang immediately confirmed.

"Use some things to surround my sacred well, and then make a sign with a few words written for me." Xia Qingqing said.

"Of course no problem. What words would you like to write, Princess?" Shopkeeper Fang asked attentively.

"The dragon is giving away water, it's free," Xia Qingqing thought for a moment, "and it doesn't limit the size of the container. It can be filled up."

"Okay, I'll go right away," Shopkeeper Fang was stunned the moment he turned around, "Wait, it's free and there's no limit on the utensils?"

Seeing Xia Qingqing nod, Shopkeeper Fang went to prepare things. He took out a large basin from his inn and asked, "Princess, may I have it?"

"of course."

As Xia Qingqing spoke, she took out a water pipe and placed it directly in his basin. Soon, the basin was filled with water.

Everyone was shocked when they saw it and was speechless.

Xia Qingqing smiled and put away the water pipe. There was still free water in his space, available at any time.

"By the way, no matter what happens today, you must not reveal my identity, otherwise I will kill you without mercy."

After Xia Qingqing finished speaking, Manager Fang and the servants immediately nodded in agreement.

Even if they had ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare to tell anyone.

Taking advantage of this time, Manager Fang prepared breakfast for Xia Qingqing. After breakfast, those who were queuing to buy water noticed Xia Qingqing.

"What's written on it?" An old woman couldn't see clearly and asked the young man next to her.

The young man walked up, saw the sign, and read it out: "Free water from the sacred well, any vessel."

The old woman said excitedly: "What did you say? Free water, please don't frame me, an old woman."

"Why would I lie to you? It's free," the man walked up to Xia Qingqing and asked, "Miss, is the water really free?"

Xia Qingqing stretched out her hand, and the man handed her an iron basin with some doubt, and watched it quickly fill up with water.

The man was shocked: "Really no money?"

"Of course it's free, next one!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the old woman rushed forward in a flash, and the people behind her also went crazy.

"I want it too! I want it too!"
