How could that wastrel be able to cure the Old Madam's eyes with those hands of hers?
The Old Madam must have gone senile. Schilling's Shadow is only 15 years old, what does she know?!
For a moment, the entire Xi Family lost their composure. They felt like the world was about to be turned upside down.
However, very soon, many people shared the same thought as Xi Mengdie. They were waiting for Schilling's Shadow to shoot himself in the foot.
Xi Home Leader was troubled. If Schilling's Shadow could cure the Old Madam, the Xi Family wouldn't be rewarded for it. But what if he crippled the Old Madam?
Who should take the responsibility?
He looked at the people in the hall who were staring at each other in silence. In the end, he could only sigh softly. "Alright, this responsibility will be borne by this Patriarch."
As soon as he said that, everyone in the hall sighed in relief.
If the Master of the Xi Family takes the responsibility, then the Mayor won't implicate the Xi Family.
"None of you can tell anyone about this." Xi Home Leader thought about it and decided to keep this a secret for now. If something bad happened in the future, he could act according to the circumstances.
In Bei An City, there were only a few big aristocratic families, but there were many small aristocratic families like the Xi family. Every day, every night, there would be a few aristocratic families trying to figure out which aristocratic family would fall from grace. If those aristocratic families found out about this, wouldn't they come to the Xi family every few days to talk about this?
Schilling's Shadow was in the city. Whether or not he could cure the Old Madam was still a mystery. He had to worry about this every day, but if he had to face those people's sarcasm as well, how could he live a good life?
However, even though Xi Home Leader didn't want anyone to know, the news still leaked.
In less than five days, the news of Schilling's Shadow volunteering to cure the Old Madam's eyes spread throughout Bei An City.
The first family to visit the Xi Family was none other than the Jin Family.
The Jin family head and Jin Yijue went to the Xi residence together, but they had two different states of mind.
Before his butt even touched the chair, Master Jin asked impatiently, "Brother, I heard that Schilling's Shadow knows acupuncture? Is this news accurate? Could she be Doctor He's disciple? "
Xi Family Head bitterly smiles as he shakes his head, "Jin Family Head, it's not that I'm deliberately hiding anything from you, but I'm sure you know a bit about this girl. Because of her innate talent, she's been living in the remote Cool Breeze Courtyard ever since she was young. What she knows, I really don't know.
The head of the Jin family looked sideways at Xi Home leader. It was obvious that he doubted the authenticity of Xi Home leader's words.
In the face of such questioning gazes, Xi Clan Leader could only smile.
"Patriarch Jin, did Schilling's Shadow make any promises to the City Lord? It's not a small matter to treat the City Lord's mother's eyes. If she can't cure it, the City Lord will blame her and she will have to go to jail. What's more, she has to put needles into the Old Madam's body. "
Jin Yijue frowned. His handsome eyes flashed with worry.
Xi Clan Leader looked at him thoughtfully, his heart was filled with surprise.
Jin Yijue's attitude towards Schilling's Shadow seemed to be changing day by day. This was not a good sign.
His fiancée was not Schilling's Shadow, but Xi Mengdie. Was he clear about his position?
