Chapter 48: She Lied

Xu Xiang nodded to Fan Guohai, then walked back to her mule cart. When she lifted the cover of the mule cart, she saw Xiao Shao come.

"Miss Xu, can you tell me what happened in detail?" He asked before Xu Xiang could speak.

Xu Xiang put down the covers of the cart, looked at Xiao Shao and said, "I saw Miss Xiao leave the cave alone, so I followed since it’s dangerous for a woman to go out alone late at night. When I was looking for her, I found that beside the footprints of Miss Xiao and Miss Fan, there were a bunch of footprints of men on the ground not far from the cave. Following the footprints, I found that Miss Xiao was unconscious, and Miss Fan was surrounded by those people."

Xiao Shao stared at her, waiting for her to continue, but Xu Xiang didn’t say anything afterwards. After a moment of silence, he asked, "How did you rescue them from those people?"

Xu Xiang lowered her eyes to avoid Xiao Shao’s sharp gaze, and said, "I hit them on the head with a stick I picked up on the road."

Seeing her expressionless face, Xiao Shao frowned. He thought for a while and asked, "How did you hit them before they found you?"

With her eyes lowered, she said calmly, "I tried to keep my steps as quiet as possible, and then hit them on the head before they could react."

Listening to what she said just now, Xiao Shao didn’t show any reaction. His gaze was still on her, observing her carefully, trying to find clues. It’s a pity that although Xu Xiang is a bad liar, she is an expert when it comes to keeping a poker face.

After a moment of silence, he asked, "Can you take me to where you found them?"

Hearing his request, she knew that he didn’t believe what she just said. Since she’s already lied, she should continue with the lie and make sure he doesn’t find out any clues about her. Rescuing Xiao Jing was considered as repaying Wen Wan and Xiao Han for saving her life, but if Xiao Shao knew her secret, it would not be worth it.

Thinking of this, a cold glint flashed in her eyes, before disappearing without a trace in a split second. She looked up at him and said, "Please wait a moment. I need to get some ointment for Miss Fan."

"Mhm." Xiao Shao nodded, leaned on the mule cart and waited there.

Before getting into the mule cart, she glanced at him. Inside the mule cart, Xu Xiang took out a pack of transparent ointment and a mini ceramic jar from her space. She opened the package of the ointment, poured the ointment into the mini ceramic jar, and closed the lid tightly.

This ointment was a mass-produced ointment for bruises and external wounds in her original world. Compared with other medicines in her original world, this ointment is the lowest grade medicine. But compared this ointment with the medicines in this world, this ointment is simply a miracle medicine. Giving this ointment for Fan Zhengyue to use can be considered as giving Fan Guohai a lot of face.

After putting the remaining of the ointment back into the space, she prepared the medicinal materials in her space with her thoughts and prepared a pack of calming tonic for Xiao Jing. After wrapping the calming tonic in paper wrap, she took it out from the space. She came out of the mule cart with a mini ceramic jar and a pack of calming tonic.

Seeing her come out, Xiao Shao said, "Give me the calming tonic. I will let Er Lang brew it."

"Mhm." She gave him the pack of calming tonic, and went to the sleigh where the Fan family was.

When Fan Zhengyue saw her coming, she lowered her eyes to hide her hatred for Xu Xiang. Sensing her malicious intentions, Xu Xiang just glanced at her indifferently.

She handed over the mini ceramic jar to Old Madam Fan, and said, "Old Madam Fan, this ointment can cure bruises and external wounds. Apply the ointment thinly twice, and the wound will heal after that without leaving any scars."

Old Madam Fan looked at her gratefully while holding the mini ceramic jar. When she spoke, her hoarse voice trembled slightly.

"Thank you, Miss Xu."

Xu Xiang nodded and said, "You are welcome."

Leaving this sentence behind, she turned and left. If Xiao Shao wanted to go to the place where she found Xiao Jing and Fan Zhengyue, they had to hurry up. From the position of the moon, she guessed that it was almost dawn. With a sigh of disappointment, she waited for Xiao Shao at the entrance of the cave.

’I really had no luck sleeping on a soft bed.’

While she was still yawning after thinking about the softness of the hay bed, Xiao Shao came. He looked at her relaxed and sleepy demeanor for a few seconds before approaching her.

Xu Xiang heard his approaching footsteps, looked at him and said, "Let’s go."

"Miss Xu, please lead the way." He gestured for her to lead the way.

The two left the cave together and walked under the faint moonlight. After walking for more than five minutes, they came to the place where Xu Xiang found Xiao Jing and Fan Zhengyue. On the ground, the bodies of those dead men had become cold.

Xiao Shao counted the corpses, then glanced at Xu Xiang again. Since Xu Xiang stood in front of him, she didn’t notice the cold light in his deep eyes that appeared and disappeared in a split second.

Walking to the nearest corpse, Xiao Shao squatted down and carefully examined the cold corpse. He first checked the back of the head, but found nothing. Not even a wound from a collision or a wound caused by blunt weapons.

He glanced at Xu Xiang who was yawning while sitting on the boulder, and thought: ’She lied. It seems she has more secrets than I thought.’
