Although I have some painkillers, they are not good things. Using too much of them can be very harmful to people, so you should go back. I can't harm your young master."

The servant came back and reported to Xie Yi, but Xie Yi was unwilling to believe that the other party was doing it for his own good.

He must have heard the rumors outside and was dissatisfied with him, so he deliberately refused to sell it to him!

He asked the servant, "Are there a lot of rumors out there?"

The servant didn't dare to answer.

That day, the Ministry of Justice was trying a case, and there were so many people watching. After they went back, they naturally wanted to brag about it to everyone.

With these people talking so much, how could there not be rumors out there?

Even now the rumors are getting more and more outrageous, and many people are talking about the appearance of the late lady!

The servant recalled the rumors he had heard, and thought of Xie Jia's sudden fall and Xie Yi's sudden high fever, and suddenly felt cold all over!

He thought to himself: The Second Miss's fall this time was so strange and tragic. Could it be that the late Madam really appeared and came back to seek revenge?

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and he didn't even dare to stay with Xie Yi.

What if the late lady also regards him as an enemy?

He never harmed the late lady!

Seeing the servant's unhappy expression, Xie Yi immediately guessed that there must be rumors going around.

He suddenly stopped asking and said, "Go to the pharmacy outside and ask if they have any painkillers that won't hurt you. If they have any, buy them! If you don't have enough money, go to the cashier's office and withdraw some."

The servant was frightened and left immediately after hearing this. He planned to stay outside for a while and come back later.

Shortly after he left, Xie Yi and Xie Xin's in-laws came again and asked to cancel the engagement.

When they heard that Xie Yi was ill, how could they dare to wait any longer?

What if Xie Yi suddenly died of illness? What would happen to the girl who was engaged? Wouldn't she be unjustly labeled as a jinx?

Xie Yun was naturally unwilling, but the girl's father was an official in the court, and he had been dismissed. How could he dare to hold on to it?

I could only reluctantly cancel the engagement.

Xie Xin secretly hid aside, watching his former future father-in-law walk away, and was so angry that his knuckles cracked.

After the people had gone far away, he immediately left the house and secretly went to the mansion of Duke Cheng'en.

This time he didn't dare go through the main door, but went to the back door of Cheng'en Mansion.

When the doorman saw him, he didn't let him in directly. He said he had to report first and then closed the door.

Xie Xin looked at the tightly closed wooden door, clenched his fists tighter, and suddenly understood the meaning of a stray dog.

What he didn't know was that a starling was standing on a roof not far away, a small green leaf fluttering in the wind, watching his every move.

Xie Xin waited anxiously for a while, and the closed door in front of him finally opened again.

The concierge respectfully invited him in: "Master Xin, please come in."

Xie Xin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The other party's attitude showed that his grandfather was still willing to acknowledge him as his grandson.

He walked in quickly.

The doorman looked outside warily and quickly closed the door.

Seeing this, the leaves on the starling's body moved, urging it to follow.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the starling flew into Duke Cheng'en's mansion, a stone flew towards it!

If Xiangxiang had not been alert and quickly pulled the starling to help it avoid the stone, it would probably have been hit by the stone and turned into a dead bird.

The starling was so frightened that it flapped its wings wildly and flew out of the airspace of Cheng'en Mansion.

The bird was so angry that it cursed: "Murder, murder, murder—"

People nearby were immediately attracted by its cry and ran out.

"Where was the murder?"

"Who was killed?"

Seeing that it was actually a starling calling and there was no corpse around, he was immediately disappointed.

The mynah bird stopped on a tree outside the Cheng'en Mansion. Seeing everyone looking up at it, it immediately said, "Good luck and good fortune—good luck and good fortune—"

Everyone was naturally excited to hear such auspicious words.
