Chapter 206 She Lied
Xie An snorted and turned his head, cursing, "You bastard, do you still have respect for elders and juniors? You read so many books by sages in vain, they all went to waste."
Xie Hang heard it but ignored him. He glanced to his left and saw Xie Yi tired from crying in the middle of the night and fell asleep with his head down.
In the right corner, his father was leaning in his mother's arms, snoring loudly. His mother would occasionally drive away mosquitoes for his father so that he could sleep better.
Xie Hang sighed.
outside the hospital
Xie Fan watched Li Yuening and Xie Shi turn the corner in the dim light of the lantern, and then he stopped following them.
At this time, there was also the head of the family at home who they had to deal with together. It was not easy to break up with the third brother. After standing alone in the cold wind for a while, Xie Fan went back to the house.
Li Yuening and Xie Shi stood on the wall, watching Xie Fan's every move.
"He is a smart man and knows how to judge the situation." Li Yuening said.
Xie Shi, "It's a pity that he still lost his temper and was bewitched by Xie An, and was used as a pawn."
"Since Xie An was kept by him, it should be similar to what we guessed.
After we have settled the affairs of the Lord's family,
Xie Fan will probably come to my place to take charge of the family." Li Yuening saw that Xie Fan couldn't wait any longer.
"Then let him see the reality sooner." Xie Shi took Li Yuening's arm and jumped off the wall and walked towards Shiyuan.
Approaching Shiyuan, Li Yuening grabbed Xie Shi and said, "Wait, something is wrong."
Xie Shi's spiritual energy gathered in his eyes. In the darkness, his dark blue eyes could see as clearly as in the daytime.
"Why are there suddenly so many snakes and rats in Shiyuan? The natural enemies are living in harmony with each other." Xie Shi looked at the densely packed snakes and rats on the ground and the walls and rubbed his arms which were just peeling.
"No wonder the air smells so bad." Li Yuening spread her mental power and saw a sneaky figure in a corner not far away.
Yingxia saw someone finally coming back and said excitedly, "I've finally waited for you. You've made me feed mosquitoes all night. I'll teach you a lesson."
As Yingxia spoke, she took out a bone flute from her collar and blew it. No sound was heard, but the snakes and rats on the wall and the ground began to wriggle and gathered around Li Yuening and the others.
"It looks like someone is here to cause trouble." Li Yuening covered her nose with her hands. "The stench is too strong. I'm afraid we can't live in this courtyard anymore."
Xie Shi turned his wrist and threw a water ball over. It began to condense into ice from under his feet, instantly freezing the surrounding snakes and rats into ice sculptures. "It's really not worthy of being on the stage."
Li Yuening concentrated her mental power, wrapped the ice sculpture and smashed it towards the main courtyard. A huge block of ice fell from the pond in the main courtyard, covering the entire pond.
The old woman who was on night watch went to see with a lantern, and was almost frightened to death by the snakes and rats that were trapped in the ice and showing their fangs and claws. That night, there was a commotion in the main courtyard.
Yingxia stretched her neck to look, but why didn't they scream in panic? She blew the bone flute a few times, but still saw no response, so she wanted to get closer to take a look.
"Who are you? Why do you control snakes and rats?" Li Yuening stood in front of Yingxia.
"I am new in the mansion. It was too dark and I got lost, so I am leaving now." Yingxia answered the question irrelevantly and turned to leave.
With the cold Xie Shi blocking her way, Yingxia had no choice but to turn back and said, "Madam, I am just passing by. Please let me go."
Li Yuening looked at the bone flute hanging around Yingxia's neck and pulled it off. "Is this the thing that drives it?"
"Give it back to me." Yingxia stretched out her hand to grab it, but Li Yuening held her still. "Besides this, what else can you do? Tell me and I'll spare your life."
Yingxia was completely unable to move. She couldn't use any of her beast-controlling techniques. She was a little panicked. "Madam, I don't know how to control you.
This flute was taken from someone else.
Really, I can take you to find her."
"You take other people's things and dare to come to me to cause trouble.
Do you know how to write the word death?" Li Yuening threatened.
Yingxia was frightened and hurriedly gave her name, "I am... I am the head maidservant of Madam Jinfeng.
Madam Bai Ri was angry. I heard that this flute can summon snakes and rats.
I just wanted to disgust my wife and vent my anger. I didn’t mean any harm.”
Listening to Yingxia's half-truthful words, although she knew that it was definitely the people from the main courtyard who were causing trouble for her,
But Li Yuening still confirmed: "From the main courtyard? So her name is Jin Feng,
You are her maid, so wait till daytime and she will come to redeem you in person."
Yingxia thought of her mistress' temper and begged for mercy: "Well, I'll tell you who the master of this beast control technique is, and you can let me go."
"Beast Taming Technique?" Li Yuening raised her eyebrows. Is there really such a technique? "Tell me about it. Well, I won't bother about this matter today.
If I lied to you, I believe you wouldn’t want to know.”
"Yes, yes, I dare not lie to you, Madam." Yingxia said hurriedly, "The owner of this flute is Yingchun, she is from a tribe deep in the mountains.
She fell into trouble when she came down the mountain, and was saved by my wife. The beast taming technique is hers."
"The tribe in the mountains? Is it the tribe that only has women?"
"Yes." Yingxia, "She said her tribe was occupied and she was the only one who escaped. My wife took pity on her and took her in as a maid.
She likes to show off, so I know all this. I won’t dare to do that again in the future.”
Li Yuening, "Then bring her here, can you do it?"
"Yes, I'll go back and bring her to see the madam." Yingxia answered straightforwardly, "If you let me go, I'll make you pay."
Li Yuening released the restraint, "I want to see someone before dawn, otherwise I will go to your wife Jin Feng to ask for an explanation. Do you understand?"
Yingxia bowed and said, "I'll go right away." Then she turned and ran away.
"She lied." Xie Shi said firmly.
Li Yuening nodded. "It's a mixture of truth and falsehood, a very clumsy lie, but one thing should be true."
"There really is someone who knows how to tame beasts."
"I didn't expect to see him so soon." Li Yuening turned around and glanced at the courtyard, a little disgusted, "This courtyard has been crawled by so many rats and snakes, I don't want to live in it."
Xie Shi, "Let's go to Shiyueju."
Seeing so many squirming things with his own eyes, he felt disgusted.
The two of them entered the space. As usual, Li Yuening went to collect some food while Xie Shi tidied himself.
After Xie Shi took a shower and changed into clean clothes, he found Li Yuening fiddling with cotton in the granary.
Having already saved up a lot of cotton, Li Yuening asked, "Has the cotton you asked Lu Tian to plant on the farm grown?"
Xie Shi, "The seedlings have grown, but according to the old farmer,
I’m afraid it won’t produce cotton fruit.”
"Why?" The seedlings have sprouted, but why are they not bearing fruit? Li Yuening doesn't understand.
“I can’t answer why exactly, just like the south is rich in rice,
The north produces wheat, so if we switch places, it will greatly affect the yield.”
"I see. You mean the soil here is not suitable for growing cotton.
It seems that we need to find suitable land to grow cotton in large quantities." Li Yuening collected the cotton seeds, put them in a sack, and shook the weight.
“When I go to Nanshan again, I’ll leave some seeds and see if the soil there is suitable.
I just don't believe that there is no place to grow cotton in such a vast territory of Dajin." Li Yuening thought that such a good thing was not discovered by the ancestors, maybe because they couldn't find the right soil and method for growing it, so it was wasted.
