The sister-in-law was wrong, please forgive her, my black-bellied brother-in-law

It's strange. My back was aching just now, but why is it gone now?

She carefully touched the place where she was whipped today and found that the skin was very smooth, as if it had not been whipped.

How could it be possible to get better so quickly?

She used force in disbelief and almost fell on the bed with her entire back. Apart from the soft touch of the bed, she didn't feel any pain.

It’s really good!

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, as if she thought of something else. She hurriedly sat up and rolled up her trouser legs to look at her swollen ankle.

The red and swollen ankle was no longer there, and the skin on her ankle was emitting a white luster. She tried turning it around, and her ankle didn't hurt anymore.

You can't even tell he was injured.

What's the reason? Does her body have the ability to heal itself?

In order to verify her guess, Qiao Xi got out of bed, quickly went to the kitchen, found a kitchen knife, looked at her slender fingers, pursed her thin lips, frowned, gritted her teeth and scratched her fingers.

Almost instantly, she felt a pain at her fingertips. Putting down the kitchen knife, she stared at her fingers without blinking.

Blood oozed from the cut, quickly staining the entire fingertip red.

It slowly gathers and then drips down your fingers.

Qiao Xi kept counting in her mind and felt that about half a quarter of an hour had passed. The blood from her fingers had stopped seeping out.

So she cleaned the blood from her fingertips so that she could take a closer look at the wound.

Another quarter of an hour passed.

The small wound on the finger showed no signs of healing.

Was she wrong? If not, why?

Qiao Xi bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes flickering, and suddenly her long eyelashes trembled, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, and she quickly returned to the room.

Take off your shoes, get on the bed, close your eyes, and do it all in one go.

Say silently in your mouth: Enter the space.

In the blink of an eye, she was already in the space.

She had a clear goal and ran straight to the stream, almost impatiently scooping up the water from the stream to drink.

He drank until his stomach was full before stopping.

After drinking, she sat on the ground without caring about her image and stared at her fingers.

I saw that the tiny wound was healing little by little. As time went by, the wound was completely healed and even the trace disappeared little by little.

Qiao Xi looked at her finger in disbelief, then at the stream, and then she was surprised and ecstatic.

With such a treasure, she wanted to laugh out loud.

Since this was a private space and there was no one else around, she thought so and did so.

I laughed until my stomach and cheeks hurt and then I stopped.

Qiao Xi stood up, put her hands behind her back, and walked around the stream again and again with a smile, until she felt like going to the bathroom and then left the space.

Suddenly, from light to darkness, she squinted her eyes to adjust for a while before opening them.

She subconsciously looked out the window and found that Xu Yi's room was still pitch black.

Thinking of the injury on Xu Yi's back, she frowned, lit a candle, looked around the room, and found that there was nothing she wanted, so she went to the kitchen again.

After looking at the big vat in the kitchen, she measured it with her hand and gave up. It was too heavy and she couldn't lift it.

Then his eyes fell on a medicine pot.

Considering that Xu Yi's injuries were serious, he drank too much space water, and recovered too quickly, it was bound to make him suspicious or attract other people's attention.

Since it can't be so obvious, the only thing he can do is let him drink the space water without anyone noticing.

If I add a little space water when boiling medicine for him, he will definitely not find it.

Thinking that this method was feasible, Qiao Xi picked up the pot for boiling medicine and entered the space, filled it with half a pot of water, and placed it on the kitchen stove.

This way, when Xu Yi comes back, I can use it in front of him without attracting his attention.

After doing all this, Qiao Xi felt sleepy and went back to her room to rest.

……

The next morning, Qiao Xi went to the mourning hall to burn incense, and then went to Xu Yi's room.

Sure enough, he was still nowhere to be seen.

"System, start navigation!"

[Navigation is enabled. What do you want to locate?]

"Locate Xu Yi."

[Okay, navigation is starting, please wait patiently...]

[Location completed. The person the host is looking for is now in Lingxiao City.]

"Still in Lingxiao City?"

Qiao Qian really couldn't understand what urgent matter could have made him go to Lingxiao City despite his injuries.

I wonder if there is anyone traveling with him?

What if he fainted in a hidden place in Lingxiao City and no one found him? Wouldn’t that be dangerous?

Thinking of this, Qiao Xi suddenly felt a little uneasy.

No, she had to go and take a look, and sell the ginseng she had just dug, otherwise it would be a bother to keep it at home.

With this idea in mind, she couldn't stay at home anymore.

He simply gave up cooking and went to his room to change his clothes. Then he carefully took the ginseng and hid it, then left the room.

Before going out, she thought of the look in Nie Guizhou's eyes that day, turned around and went back to her room to get a veil and put it on. Only then did she feel at ease and went out to the village to take a carriage.

……

"Alas, something happened to the scholar's family in Xuliu Village yesterday. Did you know?"

Qiao Xi had just closed her eyes and rested for a while when she heard people in the carriage discussing Xu Yi.

Because she was wearing a veil, she was not afraid of being recognized, so she opened her eyes and looked for the person who was talking.

The man was about thirty years old and had a woman's bun. She had never seen him in Xuliu Village, so he could only be from Shijing Village.

The woman next to her nodded and said, "I heard about it. In my opinion, that scholar is probably finished."

"How do you say this?"

"Think about it, that student offended the Nie family. Everyone in Lingxiao City knows the Nie family. I heard from my husband that anyone who crosses the Nie family will have a bad ending."

"I think I've heard that. It's such a shame. Our village doesn't have a single scholar, and the village next door finally had one, but he died before he could even start his official career. All those years of money have been wasted, and it was a lot of silver."

"Yeah, well, there's nothing we can do about it. He offended the Nie family."

"You said, isn't the Nie family just a merchant family? How come they are so powerful in Lingxiao City? I wonder if it's the Lingxiao City government official who is powerful or the Nie family."

"Compared to us, I think they are all very powerful. As for why the Nie family is so powerful, I think I know something."

"Oh!" Upon hearing this, the others also became interested and looked at the woman who was speaking.

In the end, the woman just smiled and kept everyone in suspense.

"Hey, sister-in-law, please tell me!"

Someone couldn't wait any longer and started to urge them.

Hearing that it was related to the "power" of the Nie family, Qiao Qian also pricked up her ears to listen to why.

"I'm telling you, don't tell anyone else, or someone might die."

The woman looked at everyone in the carriage with a cautious expression.

"Don't worry, I'll forget what you said as soon as I get off the carriage."

One of them promised.

The others nodded, indicating that they felt the same way.

Seeing this, the woman spoke again, but her voice was much lower than before, so Qiao Xi had to lean towards her slightly to hear it.
