The evil woman becomes the concubine and the villain is crushed to ashes

The housekeeper said respectfully, "Miss, Lord, Madam, and the Prince are all waiting for you to have dinner together."

This sounded nice, but Xie Lingxi knew that it was probably because of the money, but she had never intended to hide this.

"I know! Let's go!"

"Lingxi is back?"

As soon as Xie Lingxi entered the room, Madam Xie greeted her with a hint of worry in her eyes. She quickly winked at Xie Lingxi and glanced at Marquis Xie.

Xie Lingxi felt warm in her heart, knowing that her mother was worried about her.

Lord Xie caught his wife's little action and said unhappily.

"Madam, I'm not such a stingy person. Lingxi did take a lot of money this time, but she is my daughter. Don't say that she took the money for something important. Even if it's not important, I won't say anything. Why do you have to do this? It makes me look stingy."

After Lord Xie finished speaking, Madam Xie rolled her eyes.

"You say you're not stingy, but I don't see you being very generous on weekdays."

Xie Lingxi didn't expect that her parents would start arguing because of her, but the atmosphere did ease a lot.

She quickly smiled and tried to smooth things over.

"Dad and Mom, let's eat first. I'm hungry, and I did use my money to do something important. I went out for a day and bought a lot of things, all for you."

As she spoke, Xie Lingxi hurriedly asked Qiao'er to take out the things she had bought. Of course, they were the things she had bought for her parents, her elder brother, and her younger brother.

Upon seeing this, Lord Xie and Madam Xie didn't say anything more. They were just curious about what their daughter did with the money.

Even if you buy more, you can't spend it all.

Qiao'er was very smart and asked someone to bring the things over immediately.

Xie Lingxi smiled and placed the things one by one in front of her parents and elder brother, then pointed to the small pile left and said.

"I bought this for the educated youth. Doesn't he like to read some strange books? These are all rare handwritten copies that I specifically asked people to keep an eye out for in major bookstores in Beijing."

"Besides that, there are some pens, inkstones, and paper. Since the educated youth are so hardworking, I think they have used most of it. I will have someone send it over tomorrow."

"Dad, Mom, and Big Brother bought you things you like. Do you want to take a look?"

After Xie Lingxi finished speaking, Lord Xie and Madam Xie could no longer wait, and Xie Zhibai also opened the things Xie Lingxi bought with great interest.

What Lord Xie got was a purse, the embroidery of which was very exquisite but not ostentatious, giving it a sense of low-key luxury.

Mrs. Xie received a pair of white jade bracelets, which were as smooth as water and very beautiful.

Everyone had a happy look on their faces, and Mrs. Xie couldn't wait to put on the bracelets and said.

"Child, you have good eyesight. You know that I like white. It just so happens that I will be attending a banquet in a few days, and I will take this pair of bracelets with me."

Lord Xie stroked his beard and smiled.

"This purse is quite nice. It can hold a lot of things."

Xie Zhibai raised the thing in his hand helplessly, looked at Xie Lingxi and asked: "Lingxi, why don't you explain why you gave me this?"

Everyone looked over and saw that what Xie Zhibai was holding was a very small wooden box.

The wooden box had been opened, and inside it were two pills, one black and one white.

Xie Lingxi explained seriously.

"Brother, don't underestimate these two pills. Our family's current situation is no different from dancing on the edge of a knife. These two pills can play a big role for you at the critical moment."

As he spoke, Xie Lingxi sat down at the table and pointed at the white one.

"This white pill is Baixiaodan, which can cure all kinds of poisons. Of course, it may not be effective for some particularly strange and hard-to-find poisons."

"But it can cure most poisons and save lives at critical moments! As for this black one, it's called the Hundred Poison Pill. It's colorless and tasteless, and it's a poison!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the Xie family changed their expressions.

The helplessness on Xie Zhibai's face faded a little, but he obviously still didn't quite believe it as he stared at the black pill.

"Lingxi, you are not joking with your brother, are you?"

Baixiaodan is fine, it is used to detoxify and is considered a serious medicine, but this poison... where did my sister get it from?

These two pills are only the size of soybeans and look really ordinary, but from what my sister said, their origins are not simple.

Xie Lingxi said seriously.

"Of course I'm not joking. Big brother, you are now in the Ministry of Justice, and you are dealing with cunning people. I am worried that someone will harm you, so I give you these two pills to save your life. But these pills are not cheap, big brother, you must use them at the critical moment!"

Xie Lingxi's instructions were very serious, and now, no one in the Xie family could sit still. Fortunately, except Qiao'er, all the servants in the house had been dismissed by Marquis Xie long ago.

After all, they also want to hear why their daughter took so much silver. This is a relatively private matter and it would be bad if it got out.

But they didn't expect that their daughter would get them two rare pills, and these two pills are not just expensive, right?

Where did you get your daughter?

Xie Zhibai's expression became much more serious. He quickly closed the box and stared at Xie Lingxi with a frown.

"Lingxi, tell me the truth, where did these two pills come from? No legitimate pharmacy in our capital city would sell such things, nor would they dare to sell such things."

Lord Xie and Madam Xie also looked over. This kind of thing is not easy to get, unless it is fake.

If what Lingxi said was true, not to mention the Baixiao Pill, just the poison was colorless and tasteless. This kind of thing is not something that ordinary people can get.

What's more, from what Lingxi said, she got it by herself. She is a little girl and she never goes out. So where did she find it?

Xie Lingxi felt a little guilty when her parents and elder brother looked at her. She realized that she was too impatient this time and it seemed that she took out the two pills too early.

But the Xie family is in dire straits right now. If they don't take out the good things quickly, it will be too late to regret if something really happens to the eldest brother. So even if it means taking risks, they have to take them out.

Xie Lingxi thought about it, since they were all family members, there was nothing she couldn’t say. She had already said the big things, so what else was missing?

So he explained.

"Actually... it was something from my previous life. Just think of it as a dream. These pills appeared in my dream. These two pills were presented by the Xiao family to the Third Prince. At that time, Xiao Yuanshan was having a secret conversation with the Third Prince in the study. I overheard it when I went to deliver midnight snacks. I didn't expect to remember it. But I only remembered the matter of these pills recently."

When Xie Lingxi spoke, she was also very confused, because she really just remembered it "recently". How recent was it? It was just today.

Xie Lingxi wasn't quite sure what was going on.

She seemed to be able to remember some things after a while. They were clearly her memories, but she always felt as if they were covered by thick fog from time to time.
