Chapter 175: Chapter 173: Processing the Rough Stone of Space

Only after the imperial doctors finished diagnosing and assured that there was no danger to life due to the excessive blood loss, did they start discussing the prescription for Shangguan Xuanyi.

Xiao’er handed a bottle to Shangguan Xuanyi, "Brother Shangguan, take one pill daily, and you will recover in seven days."

Shangguan Xuanyi took it: "Your medicine is much better."

If he relied on those incompetent doctors, he’d have to consume medicine for at least a month.

Once everything was over, Shangguan Xuanyi returned to the palace to rest.

Mrs. Shen and the others were led to the cell after their punishment was over.

As for when they would be released, Xiao’er’s family didn’t have the mood to care for the time being.

Sinice Shen Chengyao received more strikes, he was the only one left under row of benches.

Caning is a skilled task, requiring particular attention to the person on the receiving end. Those who had been working in the Government Office for a long time knew how to do it.

In any case, the people in jail, with their buttocks practically blooming, weren’t far from this either.

The two officers who had finished caning Shen Chengyao told Xiao’er’s family, "Madam, I suggest you call a sedan chair to take Marquis Shengping home. He’s just been caned, and moving will be inconvenient."

Xiao’er handed two purses each containing five taels of silver to the two officers, "Thank you for your reminder."

She understood their meaning, and she had seen it with her own eyes.

Just after being caned, the person going home on foot would attract too much attention.

Shen Chengyao also understood, and he who was about to rise, stayed down again.

Exiting the Government Office, Xiao’er looked at the blue sky and white clouds; her mood was the most relaxed since her arrival.

From now on, she could swim in the vast ocean like a fish and fly in the high sky like a bird!

The group returned home.

"Dad, what does it feel like to be caned?" Jinghao ran to Shen Chengyao and asked with a smiling face.

"You little rascal, making fun of your dad, huh! I’ll hit you, and you’ll know." Shen Chengyao pretended to raise the cane and hit Jinghao’s butt.

Jinghao laughed and ran away.

"Dad, are you still in pain?" Jingrui handed Shen Chengyao a cup of tea.

"It doesn’t hurt, they were just for show, they didn’t really exert much force." The older son understands empathy.

However, it’s a lie that it doesn’t hurt. However, compared to others, his many strikes only resulted in swelling, it was considered merciful.

"Dad, don’t go out these few days, you should put on a show to let outsiders know how filial we are."

"What kind of show!" Shen Chengyao felt wronged after hearing Xiao’er’s words, but he is truly filial, alright!

"If you pretend that you aren’t able to get out of bed, wouldn’t that show your filial piety even more?"

Making fun of your dad, huh! This is the last time. You can do whatever you want in the future; you don’t need to worry about your father."

All these years, the debts that needed to be repaid have been cleared.

Hearing these words, the whole family was silent.

"Alright, why don’t you all go back to your rooms to rest." Seeing the atmosphere getting awkward, Mrs. Liu quickly dismissed them to give medicine to Shen Chengyao’s wounds.

...

Xiao’er returned to her courtyard and called Xuemei.

"Speak!" She had seen her tripping over Mrs. Shen.

If she hadn’t said something to Mrs. Shen, Mrs. Shen wouldn’t have gone mad.

"Miss, it was the Sixth Prince who told this humble one to do so." She was terrified when she saw Mrs. Shen injuring the Sixth Prince.

Shangguan Xuanyi? Was he helping her, avenging her?

But to be injured like that for such a trivial matter, it was not worth it!

Although she thought so, Xiao’er still felt deeply moved.

How could one not be moved by a person who, even his life, could be used to calculate for her benefit!

Xiao’er waved her hand to dismiss Xuemei, after quietly dazing for a while, she entered the space and saw two bald geese, and was taken aback, "What happened to the two of you?"

"Master, we know our mistakes. This time, except for the time where we can’t keep our eyes open, we have been working in the space, and as soon as hair grows on our bodies, we pluck it to make down jackets and down quilts for you. Look inside the space warehouse, isn’t there a lot more? Look at those bags of feathers, aren’t we very diligent? So, don’t mind us."

Xiao’er only remembered about the golden python issue then; she hadn’t settled the score with them yet.

"Tell me, what happened?"

"The original space stone and space originated from the same source. We and Xiao Jin were both awakened by the aura after being crafted in space. Before the workshop was opened, the original space stone could not be brought in, which is probably what you humans call ’like repels like,’ right! Since we two didn’t have any aggression, Xiao Jin stayed outside to guard the original space stones and awaited the arrival of the master."

Xiao’er nodded, so it turned out they were all one family. Thinking about the prank the geese played that scared her so much that she almost wet herself, Xiao’er looked at the two bald geese, and decided to let it go, they were too considerate, and already knew how to apologize.

Moreover, she was in a good mood today, so she let it slide.

"What about the snake?"

"It’s in seclusion." Bai Yun pointed at Xiao Jin resting on the Ashoka tree.

Xiao’er saw it and did not disturb. She needed to process the original space stone.

Xiao’er took the two pieces of original space stone she had picked up at the top of Medicine King Mountain in the workshop. Because of the long incubation by the python, they looked like snake eggs no matter how one looked at them.

Original space stone: You’re the snake egg, your whole family is snake eggs.

Xiao’er placed one of them into the processing entrance.

Then Xiao’er was forced out of the workshop. There was a huge noise in the workshop, and it started to shake.

Xiao’er watched with some trepidation: It won’t explode, will it?

"Bai Yun, Tian Bai, do you guys want to go out with me?"

Bai Yun and Tian Bai shook their heads. They thought humans with long hair and short knowledge had never seen the world, and were always making a fuss!

Xiao’er saw their attitude and knew everything was normal, so she ignored it.

She entered the study room in the space to recharge herself. There were too many things she wanted to do, but her knowledge was still insufficient.

When the disturbance in the workshop ended, Xiao’er went in to check what was manufactured that caused such a big commotion.

Such beautiful pairs of diamond and jade rings!

Diamond rings divided into male and female styles. The women’s ring is a 20-carat pink diamond, held up by a pair of swan necks, a pink heart-shaped diamond, the swan’s wings adorned with tiny yellow diamonds, and the whole ring is adorned with extremely delicate pearls. The exquisite carving and unique design are incredibly beautiful.

The men’s ring is a swan turning its head back, resting its beak on its back, topping an oval-shaped yellow diamond, uncommon and unique.

Xiao’er loved it!

The jade ring was a bit simpler, just a ring, but the quality was excellent. If you looked closely, it seemed like you could see the green moving inside.

"What use are these things? Space rings?"

"Yeah, you can think of it as a space warehouse. The space inside is like a stone house, time is still, and you cannot plant or breed inside." Bai Yun glanced and said.

This is already satisfactory, just as she was thinking about having a space ring or space bracelet to transport things for Shen Chengyao.

Like this, in the future, when her family opens supermarkets all over the country, the transportation and preservation of gourmet foods will no longer be a concern.

Good people, it’s really good people!
