After feeding the exiled criminals, she was forced to reveal herself

Chapter 78 Sorry, I am ignorant
Xie Zhen glanced at Chai Jin, and there was a light in his eyes that he couldn't understand.

The Xie family sent medicine, and the Chai family was grateful. Xie Zhen was a female family member, so Chai Jin respectfully invited her into the house.

After entering the house, Xie Zhen discovered that Mrs. Chai's condition was far worse than what she had guessed outside.

Mrs. Chai was lying on the corner of the bed covered with a thin quilt and coughing lightly. Her face was pale and dull, and her lips were chapped. Food and water were nearby. There were other members of the Chai family next to her. An old woman and three young women were far away. , whenever Mrs. Chai coughed, two of them would have very impatient faces, but they would not dare to say anything.

However, there was a woman with a delicate face who looked at Mrs. Chai with some distress.

Next to Mrs. Chai was a lady in her thirties or forties with an updo. Xie Zhen was invited in by Chai Jin. After taking a quick look at the people in the room, he basically had a pretty good guess about the situation of the women in the Chai family.

Although after the exile, everyone lost the aura of being a noble family and all became criminals, Chai Ji was the head of the family after all, and he was Dong Bohou before. Even if the whole family was convicted and exiled, everyone had to rely on Chai Ji. Ji and Chai Jin, father and son, survived. The Marquis spent generously along the way, so that they did not have to live as hard as the other poor people in the team.

So even though Mrs. Chai was ill and coughing for a long time, they had to endure it and listen.

On this cold day, all the men of the Chai family spent the night outside, and the guards were outside the house. It was good that the women could hide in the house to keep warm.

"Mother, thank you Miss Er for your kindness and sending me the medicine to cure my illness."

Chai Jin took the medicine given by Xie Zhen and came to Mrs. Chai.

Mrs. Chai just heard the voices outside, and she also knew that there seemed to be three families in this courtyard, but in fact it was mainly the Chai and Xie families. She was in poor health, dragging her husband and son down along the way. Mrs. Chai was suffering from physical and mental problems, and was depressed. Unhappy.

After hearing the Xie family's kindness, Mrs. Chai was grateful, but she didn't dare to expect too much.

Seeing Xie Zhen coming in front of her, Mrs. Chai moved, and the lady next to her hurriedly supported her, "Madam, be careful."

Mrs. Chai straightened up and gently straightened her hair and appearance. Although she was a little depressed now, her good upbringing really prevented her from being rude to guests.

Chai Jin sighed inwardly.

Seeing his mother like this, sometimes he would think that he might as well marry the prince-in-law.

I dare not mention this. If I mention his father, Dong Bohou, he will be beaten to death!

Is Princess Zhaoyang easy to get along with? That woman can make people die without their children alive.

"Thank you for thinking about me, Miss Er. I am ill and will cause trouble to your family."

She often coughs, and naturally knows that she can easily affect the rest of others at night.

Xie Zhen said: "Mrs. Chai is worrying too much. If you are not feeling well, don't worry about other things, otherwise your mood will be depressed and your condition will worsen."

It means that if you feel uncomfortable, take care of yourself first and don't worry about others.

These words were very heart-warming. Mrs. Chai looked at Xie Zhen with eyes as gentle as water.

In the past, she would have pulled Xie Zhen to sit close and have a chat, but now that she is sick, she can't let him get too close.

Xie Zhen did not make others feel uncomfortable and chose a suitable position to stand.

Chai Jin asked the lady to bring water, followed Xie Zhen's instructions, opened the paper bag, took out two capsules and put them in the palm of his mother's hand.

The expression on Mrs. Chai's face was stunned for a moment. She thought she had seen it wrong. She looked up at her son, and then moved her eyes to Xie Zhen's face. There was an unexpected look of confusion in Xie Zhen's eyes.

I don't know how to describe it, but Xie Zhen felt a vague sense of pride in her heart. Although the feeling did not make people lose their modesty, she would also feel happy when she saw a look of surprise on someone else's face for the first time.

She is not the only one who will lose her composure when seeing this magical medicine.

Everyone is the same!
Mrs. Chai has been rich for half her life, but she has never seen this kind of medicine. It is a small pill, white and blue. Can this... really cure her cough?
The lady beside her couldn't hide her surprise. She glanced at Xie Zhen for a moment, her eyes showing the same confusion as Mrs. Chai: Can such a small pill really cure a disease?

But the surprise on the lady's face quickly dissipated. After all, she had been everyone's maid for a long time and had a lot of knowledge. No matter how effective the medicine in Mrs. Chai's hand was, since the medicine was sent to her openly by Xie's family, it must be good.

My master showed his kindness to the Xie family, so they were willing to send this good medicine. The lady turned around and poured out half a bowl of warm water.

Chai Jin took over and watched Mrs. Chai take the medicine.

Xie Zhen looked at Mrs. Chai and said, "This medicine does not need to be boiled. It can be taken directly with warm water." After thinking about it, he added, "It is convenient on the road."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chai's eyes suddenly dawned, and she smiled gently and said, "I never thought that the elixir could be made into something like this. It's just that I am ignorant."

After saying that, without doubting his presence, he took the medicine with warm water and expressed his gratitude to Xie Zhen again.

Seeing this, Xie Zhen said a few words of relief and then withdrew.

She was not familiar with Mrs. Dong Bohou, so she came to deliver medicine according to the wishes of her sixth brother Xie Yuchuan. Others were sick in the room and it was inconvenient to stay for a long time, so it was better to leave early.

After going out, he briefly explained to Xie Yuchuan, who nodded lightly.

"You and I don't know how effective the medicine is. Let's see what happens to Mrs. Chai later."

Xie Zhen was very confident, "The medicine given by the family god must be a panacea."

Xie Yuchuan turned to look at his second sister, and the smile in Xie Zhen's eyes deepened.

After leaving the banker, she seemed to have become the sassy person he remembered.

After Xie Zhen left.

Mrs. Chai stopped her son Chai Jin.

"Mother, what's wrong?"

Mrs. Chai looked at the door, moved her eyes to her son's face, and asked, "Have you and your father talked with the Xie family?"

Chai Jin shook his head.

"Then why did the Xie family suddenly send medicine? And the medicine from the Xie family is so good." Mrs. Chai didn't even realize how she took the medicine just now.

When she passed by the capital before, the Marquis had already prepared soup and medicine for her. Whenever he had some free time along the way, he would find an opportunity to ask the servants to help him prepare the soup. After drinking three large bowls of it every day, she would be covered with a strong aroma. medicinal smell.

Not to mention that others avoid her, even she herself is disgusted with herself.

Why does Xie's medicine have no strong smell at all, and does it not need to be boiled with firewood in a cupping pot?

It’s such a small pill that you can’t take it with you wherever you go. It’s a must-have medicine when you go out!

Mrs. Chai did not doubt the authenticity of the medicine, but marveled at the magic of the medicine. As for the efficacy, Mrs. Chai did not care so much. After all, the Xie family was the former Duke's palace. The Xie family could take the medicine with them on the way to exile. It is a life-saving medicine in times of crisis. Now I am willing to give her some, and I am very grateful.

Chai Jin actually didn't expect the Xie family to send medicine.

He and his father Chai Ji were still observing whether the Xie family had the ability to "connect with the gods" when the second girl from the Xie family arrived.
