Inkstone Washing Pool, the sky outside the house was gray, raindrops were hitting the surface of the lake, and even the wind was damp and sticky.

Xie Xian lazily lay by the window. Today was the day she would submit her prescription to the council hall for a decision.

"So the clan means that I don't need to go?"

The man in gray kneeling in the hall had a somewhat arrogant look on his face: "Yes, the elders asked me to come and get the prescription." It seemed that he did not notice the subtle change in Xie Xian's tone.

"Heh" Xie Xian chuckled, but in the hall, one could hear a pin drop. The pen in Xie Miao's hand paused on the paper, as if he was also shocked by the sudden atmosphere.

"Go back and tell them that this recipe belongs to me, Xie Xian, and it's not their turn to make the decision."

"But the elders are waiting!" The man in gray looked astonished. He really couldn't understand why a girl would dare to disobey the elders like this.

Seeing that Xie Xian was serious, he was startled. Only then did he remember that the girl in front of him was not a delicate person.

Xie Xian had a smile on her face, looking playful.

"Lady, please don't joke around." The gray-clothed man's voice was trembling. "Lady, you'd better hurry up. What if you anger the elders of the clan?"

The smile on Xie Xian's face slowly disappeared, replaced by a stern expression. She was wearing a red satin jacket, and the white tiger pattern on her shoulder was shining, as blazing as the sun.

"You...are you teaching me how to do things?"

After the man in gray crawled away, Xie Miao's voice trembled a little: "I wonder what will happen to the clan this time?"

She had a feeling that it was just as she expected. A few years ago, a girl from a branch of the clan developed a new way to scoop rice. The clan council heard about it and took it over within a day.

After that, there was no follow-up. This incident caused a great sensation in the clan. Everyone said that this matter was unfair, but the elders in the council hall acted arbitrarily.

Later I heard that the girl got married a few months later. The elders in the clan seemed to still have some complaints, but they stopped after the eldest son of the first wife took action.

The other day, the Queen gave some secret techniques to the third branch. The clan won't mind. Moreover, the clan will also profit from trading some mines with the Cui family through the clan.

But this time, the bean sprout method used by the Queen is effective in a short period of time and can make huge profits. How can these elders sit still?

Xie Miao glanced in Xie Xian's direction. She felt that the Queen was testing the bottom line of the clan step by step.

Qingdai hurried over with a small umbrella and nodded to Xie Xian as soon as she entered the door.

Xie Xian's lips curled slightly.

Heyuan Council Hall.

"How can this be so unreasonable? Xie Xian is so presumptuous!" An elder was filled with righteous indignation, obviously very dissatisfied with Xie Xian's behavior. This girl never took them seriously.

This time, they had to make that girl surrender no matter what. Xie Yun was a tough nut to crack, but they didn't take a girl seriously.

Seeing the discussions below, Xie Zhong frowned. Xie Xian was of no importance to him, as most of the issues concerning the Black Stone Guard had been resolved.

It's winter now, and I don't know how long Xie Changhuan can hold on. However, this girl is not someone who will stay content.

Just don't ruin his plans. He sat up straight and said, "Third brother, tell me!"

Xie Feng, who was sitting at the side and leisurely eating Qingtuan, wiped the corner of his mouth slowly and said slowly: "What can I do? I think everyone has eaten this bean sprout. This recipe is indeed from Miss Xian.

It's a bit unreasonable to discuss the whereabouts of this prescription without asking her to come."

A middle-aged fat man retorted: "We all have good intentions, but Xie Er is too aloof."

Xie Feng raised his eyes to look at the man and said lightly: "Oh, kind!" However, the people who were talking below had flickering eyes and dared not look at each other.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the door.

"Then Madam Xian is here, hurry up."

"Hey, the lady has arrived."

The man in gray outside the door was really panicked. He looked at the red figure walking out from the rain, with a resolute anger in his eyes, like a blood line tied around his heart.

The sound of wooden clogs tapping on everyone's heart. The girl's red lips slightly opened as she lifted the umbrella brim. "I heard that someone wants to be my master?"

Xie Xian had a smile on her face, but the cold light in her eyes made it hard for everyone to breathe.

The meeting hall was filled with solemnity and oppression; even the air seemed frozen, with only the faint sound of each other's breathing being heard.

"Xie Ding~" A panicked shout seemed to turn on a switch, and everyone's faces showed horror.

Xie Xian turned her eyes and saw the man sitting back on the ground.

When everyone looked again, they realized that Xie Xian was dressed in men's clothes today and was already 70% similar to her father, and now it was 90%.

Xie Xian took in everyone's expressions and thought to herself that this was a bit tricky, so she might as well make some money and run away.

She was embarrassed to show up like that, and was acting like a ghost here. Look how scared these people were.

Xie Zhong, who was sitting at the top, lowered his eyes and said, "Xie Xian, why are you doing this?"

"How should I know that you are so afraid of my face?" She said innocently, "After all, I am not the one who feels guilty."

Seeing her standing at the door and refusing to come in, Xie Feng said with an unchanging expression: "Since you are here, come in and talk."

For the sake of the second brother, if the lady of the Xie family was stopped outside the meeting hall, she would be laughed at if the news got out.

Xie Xian rolled her eyes and said, "I dare not enter this meeting hall, otherwise my secret recipe will be confiscated for no reason!"

Before she came, she had heard from Xie Miao about the Liu family's skills being taken away. Usually, the secret skills and formulas of each family are kept by each family. The third branch of the Xie family moved here from the north less than a hundred years ago.

Originally, the families were not closely related, and could only huddle together for warmth when facing powerful clans. However, once they settled down and the population increased, they inevitably began to fight among themselves over the allocation of resources.

And judging from the expressions on everyone's faces just now, the father of this body might be a victim of internal strife.

Thinking of this, something in Xie Xian's heart finally relaxed. As long as it wasn't a kiss, it would be fine.

Qingdai, who was closing her umbrella nearby, felt as if raindrops were falling on her body, making her hair stand on end.

Hearing her sarcastic words, everyone was furious.

"Xie Xian~" Xie Zhong shouted angrily.

"I'm here~" Xie Xian said with a smile.

The current master of the Xie family finally began to take his restless niece seriously: "Then what do you want to do?"

"Hehe, I came to see if it was those shameless things who coveted my niece's wealth." She looked well-behaved, but her words were like boiling water dropped into boiling oil.

The meeting room exploded with a loud bang.

"How can this be possible~" The old man She jumped out again.

"Just say that there are no rules when the girl's parents are not around!" another person interjected.

"Look, she's all alone. We did everything for her own good, but she doesn't appreciate it. Alas!" Without the clan, she is nothing.

It was as if everyone's discussions had found an outlet, and sharp swords attacked Xie Xian from their mouths.

Xie Xian's expression remained unchanged. She glanced behind her and saw Xie Miao writing rapidly with a charcoal pencil. On the other side, Qing Dai was not as skilled, but she also wrote well.
