After I became a maid, I relied on fortune-telling to support the whole family of the abandoned prin

Xie Fanjin curled his lips: "If you were me, you would definitely use the excuse of climbing into bed to get Xiao Yanxi to marry you, why would you look for a crack in the ground?"

Chen Xinyu was angry and pointed at Xie Fanjin's nose without saying anything for a long time.

Chen Xinxiu packed up her bag, stood up, and said to Xie Fanjin, "Miss Xie, even though what you do has nothing to do with me, I still kindly suggest that you tone it down. For a girl, reputation is the most important thing. If everyone knew that you were so frivolous, how would you ever get married?"

Xie Fanjin raised the corner of his mouth: "Then you don't have to worry about it. I'm telling you this too. Take care of yourself."

Xie Fanjin's few light words almost made Chen Xinxiu vomit blood in anger.

We were about to leave Bingzhou. The weather had been hot and humid for the past two days, with thick clouds but not a drop of rain. Everyone was miserable and listless.

Xiao Yanxi lowered his voice and said to the people around him, "Put away all the valuables. Make some straw raincoats and bamboo hats these two days. It's been raining in Zhongzhou and there have been floods. The people are displaced and the refugees are fleeing everywhere. When people are hungry, they will do anything."

Xie Fanjin was surprised: "Do we still need to go from Zhongzhou to Jinsha Island?"

Xiao Yanxi: "I don't think so. Those officials don't know the situation in Zhongzhou yet. They will probably find out soon. We need to take a detour."

Xie Fanjin calculated for a moment and his face became serious.

She hesitated for a moment and said to Xiao Yanxi, "Can you get some rice bran, grain, salt, or something?"

Xiao Yanxi's expression changed: "You mean disaster relief?"

Xie Fanjin lowered his head, feeling unhappy: "Just do your best."

She knew that Xiao Yanxi's situation was special and that no major action should be taken, but she really couldn't bear to watch the refugees starve to death, and Xie Fanjin herself had limited abilities.

Xie Fanjin did feel a little guilty about letting Xiao Yanxi take risks, but after all, Xie Fanjin also helped Xiao Yanxi get more than 500,000 taels of silver, so she felt that she was also qualified to ask Xiao Yanxi for help.

I thought Xiao Yanxi would hesitate, but unexpectedly he agreed readily: "I'll ask someone to do it."

Originally, Xiao Yanxi had such a plan. In fact, he had already asked people to collect food, but due to his current situation, he only wanted to provide disaster relief in secret. Now that Xie Fanjin has spoken, he seems to have fewer concerns.

Xie Fanjin started to busy herself with digging herbs again. She used to be picky, but now she digs whatever she sees. Not only does she dig with her group, she also asks others to help. No matter whether they are exiles or officials, as long as they dig herbs, they can come to her to exchange them for money.

Xie Fanjin would also explain the medicinal properties of herbs to them: "This is called Xanthium sibiricum, which is quite common. The root of Xanthium sibiricum is used for carbuncle, erysipelas, dysentery, etc.

The stems and leaves of Xanthium sibiricum can be used to dispel wind and dissipate heat, detoxify and kill insects, treat red eyes, dizziness, metrorrhagia, leprosy, etc.

Xanthium sibiricum flower is used for vitiligo and dysentery..."

As Xie Fanjin was speaking, Chen Xinyuan's surprised voice came from a distance: "Xie Fanjin, there seems to be ginseng over here, come over and see if it is!"

Xie Fanjin's eyelids twitched, and he ignored Chen Xinyuan and continued, "The fruit of Xanthium sibiricum has the effects of dispelling rheumatism, clearing the nasal passages, relieving pain and killing insects. It can also treat headaches caused by wind and cold, nasal congestion and runny nose, toothache, wind-cold and dampness, etc..."

Before Xie Fanjin finished speaking, Chen Xinyu's voice rang out: "Xie Fanjin, it really looks like ginseng. Come here quickly!"

Xie Fanjin rolled his eyes, took the herbs handed to him by Mrs. Chen San, cleaned the dirt off the roots, and was about to walk out.

Mrs. Chen San was puzzled: "What if it really is ginseng? Why don't you go and take a look?"

Xie Fanjin: "They must have hidden something so good as that long ago, afraid that others would see it. How could they yell at me like that?"

Mrs. Chen San suddenly realized and glanced sideways at Jin.

Jin said, "I think those guys are scheming. We'd better be careful."

Therefore, Chen Xinyuan and Chen Xinyu shouted until their voices were hoarse, but they did not hear Xie Fanjin's response.

After the two of them left, Chen Xinyuan caught up with Xie Fanjin and asked dissatisfiedly, "Xie Fanjin, are you deaf? Didn't you hear me and my elder sister calling you?"

Chen Xinyuan, Chen Xinyu and Xiao Liuzi had originally planned that as long as they lured Xie Fanjin over, they would be able to destroy Xie Fanjin, but they didn't expect that Xie Fanjin would not even show up.

So who was the one who suffered in the end? The first one was Chen Xinyuan.

Xie Fanjin: "Who said that I have to agree just because I heard it?"

Chen Xinyuan's face turned bad: "We were kind-hearted and thought we had ginseng, so we called you over. Why don't you know what's good for you?"

Xie Fanjin: "Are you guys crazy? Can you give me some ginseng?"

Chen Xinyuan was speechless.

Xie Fanjin suddenly remembered something: "Oh, by the way, you came to me for treatment when you were sick before. I gave you acupuncture, took your pulse, and made medicine for you. I still have the IOU you wrote. Why don't you pay me back now that you have money?"

Xie Fanjin deliberately raised his voice for the last few sentences.

Old Madam Chen frowned and said, "You want money? Go to hell! I won't give you a penny!"

Not sure if Xie Fanjin heard or not, but he continued to yell, "If you don't pay me back, I'll take the IOU to the government office and let the county magistrate decide for me!"

Old Madam Chen was furious and turned around to scold Chen Xinyuan: "You are such a idiot, why are you bothering with her? Do you think we have too much money and want her to help us spend it?"

Chen Xinyuan pouted in anger. It wasn't her who wrote the IOU, nor was it her who owed the money and didn't pay it back. Why was he scolding her?

At noon, the Chen family delivered Xie Fanjin's medical fees.

Chen Xinxiu threw the silver on the ground and said, "Give me the IOU. We owe each other nothing!"

Xie Fanjin picked up the silver on the ground and put it in his pocket: "What IOU?"

Chen Xinxiu looked at her like she was stupid: "Before, our Chen family owed you medical fees. You asked us to write an IOU. I gave you the money, so why don't you return the IOU to me?"

Xie Fanjin spread his hands and said, "Where is the silver? Where did it come from? Have you paid it back?"

Chen Xinxiu was so angry that she called out to Old Madam Chen, "Grandma, Xie Fanjin is shameless. He accepted our money and refused to admit it!"

Old Madam Chen immediately scolded: "Xie Fanjin, are you crazy about money?"

Xie Fanjin smiled and said, "Everyone, please be fair. The Chen family members were sick and asked me to diagnose them. They had no money, so they wrote an IOU.

Logically speaking, I'm willing to give them medical treatment on credit, so they should be grateful to me. When they pay me back, they should offer the money respectfully with both hands and say thank you. How can they just throw the money on the ground with a sullen face? Isn't that repaying kindness with enmity and humiliating me?"

Chen Xinxiu's face flushed red as he angrily said, "Then I'll pay you back, and you should give me the IOU!"

Xie Fanjin shook his head: "The silver you threw on the ground was to humiliate me, not to repay me. Why should I give you an IOU?"

Before, everyone thought that Xie Fanjin was unreasonable for not admitting that he had taken the money. But now that Xie Fanjin said this, others felt that what Xie Fanjin said made sense, and Chen Xinxiu was in the wrong.

Chen Xinxiu was at a loss for a moment and could only look at Old Madam Chen.

Madam Chen Er stepped forward with a sullen face and said, "Xie Fanjin, this is your fault. You could have kept the silver that was dropped on the ground. I asked Xinxiu to pick it up and hand it to you, but you already kept it. Why are you still making excuses?"

Xie Fanjin: "If you have money and don't want it, you'd be a fool. Besides, how can I be so unreasonable? Am I wrong?"

Mrs. Chen Er wanted to curse again, but then Mr. Chen said, "Alright, it's just a few taels of silver, just give her some more!"

Old Madam Chen was annoyed: "What's the point of making up for it? I don't have the spare money!"

Then, Old Madam Chen angrily said to Chen Xinxiu, "You are the one who caused this trouble. You should figure out how to solve it. Otherwise, don't blame me for turning against you!"
