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

Seeing Liu Lan like this, Qiao Xi's sixth sense told her that it might not be a good thing.

But she has always been a person who can deal with things as they come, and there is nothing she can't overcome.

After thinking about it, her mentality instantly adjusted, and she said nonchalantly: "Sister-in-law, just tell me what it is."

Seeing her so frank, Liu Lan felt relieved and spoke directly: "I just went to the village for something and saw several aunts gathered in a group, muttering to each other, and I don't know what they were talking about.

I was curious, so I went over. After listening to just two sentences, I felt something was wrong. "Who do you think they were talking about?"

He came to her after hearing gossip. Is there any need to guess?

Qiao Xi pointed at herself and said, "Sister-in-law, what are they saying about me?"

Liu Lan had not expected her to be so direct. She was startled for a moment, then came to her senses and said, "They said that, and my sister-in-law is just passing it on. Don't be angry."

Qiao Xi: "Sister-in-law, just say it!"

Liu Lan: "They said your Xu Tai is gone, and Xu Yi is good-looking, a scholar, and has a bright future. They said you might be eyeing Xu Yi."

"Heh!" Qiao Xi sneered. It was indeed not a good thing.

"Sister-in-law, besides this, did they say anything else?"

Willowland shook her head.

I thought to myself, even with just this, those people's spit can drown a person. If they say anything else, you and brother Xu Yi will probably have no peace in the village.

"They're probably just bored and have nothing better to do. They'll chew on anything to pass the time. After a while, when no one's paying attention to them, they'll naturally stop talking."

Liu Lan looked at her calm face, and suddenly memories from half a year ago flashed through her mind.

At that time, Brother Xu Tai had not yet gone, and Sister Qian did not have a good reputation in the village.

Someone said to her, "You're dressed up so flashy, I don't know who you're trying to pick up," and she happened to hear it.

At that time, she couldn't help but start cursing at that person.

What she said now is even more unpleasant than before, but she can still tolerate it?

Besides, she never left her house except for going to the city, let alone picking wild vegetables or learning to identify herbs.

In just half a year, people change so much.

Liu Lan thought about it and felt that she had become like this because of the pressure of life.

If there had been someone capable at home, she wouldn't have changed so much.

Liu Lan looked at her with some pity in her eyes. Unconsciously, she took her hand, patted it gently and comforted her, "Sister Qian, you have been wronged. When Brother Xu Yi passes the imperial examination, he will definitely thank you for your efforts."

Qiao Xi's mind was almost entirely on Xu Yi, especially since the military doctor was currently treating him and she didn't know what the result would be.

Just as she was thinking, someone unexpectedly grabbed her hand, and immediately brought her back to her senses.

Her gaze met Liu Lan's, and seeing the pity in her eyes, she wondered: Who could tell her what had happened in just a short while?

Also, she had suffered some grievances, but those grievances had nothing to do with gossip. It was all caused by the Nie family.

Liu Lan wanted to comfort her again, but when she saw her frequently looking towards Xu Yi's room, she suddenly realized that Xu Yi was injured, so she said with concern:

"How's Brother Xu Yi? To be honest, I should have come to see you yesterday, but I've never seen so many soldiers before, and I was scared for a moment. Don't blame me!"

Hearing this, Qiao Xi quickly waved her hands: "What are you talking about, sister-in-law? You have already helped us a lot. Don't say you are scared, I am scared too.

Xu Yi hasn't woken up yet, and the doctor just came in. How about my sister-in-law come with me to take a look?"

Liu Lan nodded: "Okay, let's go in and take a look. I can also tell my head of the family about the situation. He is also worried about it, but he has work to do at home, so he didn't come."

As they were talking, they entered Xu Yi's room.

"My beloved disciple, have you decided what gift you want?"

Who knew that as soon as I entered, I heard Xiao Yushan ask this.

Liu Lan looked at Qiao Xi with some confusion and asked in a low voice, "Who is his favorite disciple?"

Just now, only the two of them came in, and no one else was seen.

Liu Lan looked behind her, but there was nothing behind her. Could it be that he could see things that others couldn't?

Thinking of this, Liu Lan was so scared that she squeezed closer to Qiao Xi.

Qiao Xi corrected him several times, but seeing that there was no effect, she simply let him do what he wanted.

Looking at Xu Yi who was still unconscious on the bed, he said calmly: "Military doctor, how is my brother-in-law?"

Hearing her question, the military doctor said bluntly, "Ah, young people recover quickly. You don't know, when I took his pulse yesterday, I estimated that it would take him several days to wake up.

I didn't expect that. I just took his pulse again and he's actually feeling much better. I estimate he'll wake up this evening, or tomorrow at the latest.

That kid Shen Pingning has found a treasure again."

After saying this, Xiao Yushan snorted somewhat unwillingly.

He hesitated for a moment, then continued, "But ever since I started my apprenticeship, I've never noticed such a big discrepancy when taking someone's pulse. Was I distracted when I was taking their pulse yesterday? That shouldn't be the case!"

His voice became softer and softer, as if he was talking to himself.

Qiao Xi was closer to him and heard everything he said, but she didn't intend to explain it to him.

But when Liu Lan saw this scene, she immediately confirmed that the person in front of her was a weirdo.

How can such a weirdo treat patients?

She quietly tugged at the corner of Qiao Xi's clothes and lowered her voice to a whisper, "Sister Xi, where did you find this doctor? He seems to be talking nonsense, is he a liar?"

Since entering the house, Qiao Xi was only concerned with watching Xu Yi and talking to the military doctor, and she didn't realize that this had caused such a misunderstanding among Sister-in-law Liu Lan.

She smiled slightly and comforted him softly: "He is indeed a doctor, but he has a little personality, so he seems a little unreliable. Sister-in-law, don't worry."

Only then did Liu Lan nod with a little relief.

After seeing the people and saying what she wanted to say, Liu Lan said goodbye to Qiao Xi as she still had work to do at home.

Qiao Xi walked her to the gate, thanked her, and then walked back.

But when he walked to the middle of the yard, he saw the "gifts" thrown carelessly on the ground. He sighed and had to pick them up one by one, then carried them into the house, intending to let the military doctor take them all away when he left.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yushan saw those things and caught Qiao Xi again to ask her what gift she wanted.

Qiao Xi didn't want to pay attention, but the military doctor followed her wherever she went. She was really pestered and had no choice but to say, "I want to be a famous doctor!"

Such a difficult gift, let's see how he can do it.

If that wasn't possible, he wouldn't have mentioned taking her in as his disciple.

It was like killing two birds with one stone. Qiao Xi was very satisfied with the request she made.

Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Yushan frowned deeply, his eyes half closed, as if he was in deep thought.
