Severed ties and living in a dilapidated house? No worries, the poor thing has a space.

Xiao Jingqi woke up an hour and a half later, and the first thing he heard was the noise coming from the lobby downstairs.

Mo Jiu brought in a bowl of warm soup: "Master, you're awake. How are you feeling now?"

Xiao Jingqi touched himself all over, then touched his head, completely bewildered. He asked Mo Jiu, "What's wrong with me?"

A fleeting image seemed to flash through his mind, but he couldn't quite grasp it.

Mo Jiu handed him the soup: "It was the wine that Miss Fang gave you that had sweet potato in it. Miss Fang's medical skills are also very good. She cured Master's acute illness with just one pill."

Xiao Jingqi walked to the window and looked down. The two sisters at the door were busy and dizzy, so he didn't want to disturb them.

"Did the bandits of Black Wind Stronghold get anything out of them?" Xiao Jingqi asked, taking a sip of soup.

Mo Jiu: "The bandits admitted to everything about the nearby villages and merchants, but they refused to admit to robbing the government's property. However, they did provide an important clue: there was indeed a group of people using the name of their Black Wind Stronghold to rob people outside. They investigated, but found nothing."

Xiao Jingqi narrowed his deep eyes, already having an idea in mind.

He looked at the jar of wine on the table and was about to pick it up when Mo Jiu quickly stopped him: "Master, you can't drink this anymore."

Xiao Jingqi didn't intend to drink it. He just picked it up and smelled it, recalling Fang Yu saying that it was called Six Grains Liquor, which, as the name suggests, was brewed from six kinds of grains.

However, based on the information he found about Fang Yu, he also learned about the harvest status of the entire Qingshan City.

The harvests of the past two years have only been enough to feed the people, let alone have any surplus grain for brewing wine.

He remembered asking her earlier if she would be willing to sell the wine at Tianxianglou, and her expression made it seem as if she had a huge quantity in her hands.

According to available information, Fang Yu and her two daughters left the Fang family home with very few belongings. How did she brew this wine? And where did she put it?

He was becoming increasingly curious about Fang Yu, especially about this Liuliangye liquor; its taste was comparable to fine wine.

"Knock knock..."

There was a sudden knock on the door of the private room, followed by Fang Yu's voice asking, "Lord Xiao, it's me. I've brought you some freshly grilled meat."

Mo Jiu opened the door, a flash of surprise in her eyes: "Miss Fang, how did you know my master was awake?"

"I gave him the medicine, of course I know."

Upon hearing this, Mo Jiu looked at her with a hint of admiration.

Walking inside, Fang Yu put down the barbecue and casually grabbed Xiao Jingqi's wrist to take his pulse.

Xiao Jingqi did not disturb her, but his gaze swept over her curled eyelashes almost imperceptibly.

The moment I saw her, an image flashed through my mind. Although I couldn't see it clearly, I could tell from the outline that it was the petite woman in front of me.

"It's alright. Actually, your problem can be cured. If you trust me, I can give it a try."

Fang Yu withdrew her hand and casually mentioned this.

"Is Miss Fang really telling the truth?" Xiao Jingqi's tone revealed a hint of excitement.

"Ah."

Fang Yu took a medicine bottle out of his pocket and gave it to him: "Take one pill a day, just for fun first..."

He accidentally let it slip, and Mo Jiu's expression changed from surprise to astonishment.

He initially thought Fang Yu was going to say that this one bottle of medicine would completely cure the problem...

Xiao Jingqi took the medicine and looked at Fang Yu with the same surprise: "Miss Fang, do you mean to take this medicine first and return the prescription later?"

"Yes, yes, as expected of Lord Xiao." After praising him, she stood up and said, "There are still many customers waiting to have their meat grilled, so I'll go and get busy. Please enjoy your meal, Lord Xiao."

Xiao Jingqi held the medicine in his hand and looked at it for a long time. Mo Jiu had a feeling that Fang Yu seemed very confident in doing things, but was also very unreliable.

For the sake of her master's health, Mo Jiu gently stopped her, suggesting, "Master, why don't I take this medicine to the doctor for a look?"

"No need." Xiao Jingqi put the medicine away. "I trust her."

……

"Young man, please help me. I'm looking for your young master, please."

Fang Ling had been lingering at the Wang family's gate for quite some time, wanting to ask why the engagement was called off. She wanted to hear Wang Yuan say it himself; she had been waiting for two years.

The servant was already very impatient, and his tone became vicious: "Miss Fang, don't you understand what kind of status my young master has and what kind of status you have? Don't say wait two more years, even if you wait ten years, my young master will not marry you."

The marriage she had longed for was casually dismissed by a servant. As the servant was about to close the door, she reached in and grabbed his arm, her earlier sobbing subsiding.

"Why? I want to see your young master! He must give me an explanation today!"

She nearly tore the servant's sleeves to shreds. The servant's temper flared, and he opened the door, shoved Fang Ling aside, and yelled, "Crazy woman! Your Fang family is a joke! You sold my sister to my young master as a concubine, then turned around and reported her to the authorities to have her taken back, causing my young master to suffer twenty lashes for nothing! And you still have the nerve to cause trouble!"

Sister? Fang Ling steadied herself, her mind a little confused. She asked again, "You must be lying, right? When did my family sell my sister to Young Master Wang as a concubine? Explain yourself!"

The servant gave her a disdainful look: "You should go back and ask your sister. If you keep making trouble, don't blame me for being impolite!"

The servant slammed the door shut after speaking. Fang Ling stood there in a daze for a long time, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

The Fang sisters had sold a lot more barbecue than usual today, so it was getting late. They were packing up their stall when a furious shout suddenly came from beside them: "Fang Yu!"

Hearing the sound, Fang Yu and Fang Xin turned around and saw Fang Ling looking dejected, clearly having been crying, with red eyes.

Fang Yu and Fang Xin simultaneously looked away and continued with their work. Fang Ling strode over, her voice a little loud: "Fang Yu, you did the right thing, didn't you!"

Fang Yu already had a bad attitude towards the Fang family, and with what happened to Fang Xin last night, she was now afraid that she would lose control of her murderous intent if she looked at the Fang family members even once.

She pulled her arm back; if it weren't for the fact that they were at the entrance of Tianxiang Tower, Fang Ling's arm would have been ruined.

Fang Ling then noticed that the two sisters were setting up a stall here, which was actually Tianxianglou.

Realizing that someone was passing by, Fang Ling subconsciously clenched her hands, looking a little flustered, and her voice became much softer: "Fang Yu, I have something to tell you."

People passing by kept glancing in their direction. To avoid disturbing Tianxiang Tower, Fang Yu tossed aside the handkerchief in her hand and walked to the side, whereupon Fang Ling followed.

"What's the matter?"
