Chapter 740 - Mermaid’s Tears
The man sat on the chair, but he was as unapproachable as a king. The old servant stood beside Xie Jiuhan, looking like a servant. As a servant, she could only look up to this man forever.
“If you don’t understand your duties as a servant and can’t take care of my aunt, then leave the Xie Manor as soon as possible. Don’t be a dog in the manger. There are a lot of nimble and capable servants who can serve her,” Xie Jiuhan added, his voice still cold.
Upon hearing the words “leave the Xie Manor”, the old servant could no longer suppress the fear in her heart. Her eyes trembled like sieves, and she wished she could immediately kneel and kowtow to Xie Jiuhan. She had originally sent a message, but she did not expect that she would be fired by Xie Jiuhan. Moreover, he wanted to plant his own people beside Xie Yuhuan. It was really killing two birds with one stone.
The old servant’s mouth started to soften. “Ninth Master, I’ve been careless recently. I’ll definitely take good care of Madam Yuhuan and won’t let her fall sick again. I’ll go back and tell Madam Yuhuan what Ninth Master said. Although you can’t see each other, I know that you and Young Madam are quite good. I believe Madam Yuhuan will be at ease.”
Xie Jiuhan did not speak. He did not even look at the old servant. Feng Qing said, “Ji Yunchen is Little Jiu Jiu’s private doctor. He’s one of the top doctors in Xia country. If Little Aunt is really sick, invite him to take a look.”
Hearing Ji Yunchen’s name, the old servant looked troubled. She smiled apologetically at Feng Qing and said, “Madam just have a cold. She will take some cold medicine and rest more. I won’t trouble Doctor Ji to come again.”
Feng Qing looked at Xie Jiuhan. “Ji Yunchen prescribed special medicine to Little Aunt previously, and the effects were very good. Since Little Aunt is sick again, why don’t we let him give Little Aunt some special medicine?”
Xie Jiuhan nodded. “Alright, get Xie Qi to send someone to Ji Yunchen to get a few bottles of special medicine and send them to Little Aunt.” The old servant doesn’t know what the special medicine Ji Yunchen prescribed for Xie Yuhuan is.
Xie Jiuhan immediately sent someone to Ji Yunchen to get the medicine for Xie Yuhuan. He had already done so much, so it was not appropriate for others to say that Xie Jiuhan did not care about his aunt’s life at all. The old servant could only bow down and leave the dining room.
Seeing that the old servant had left, Xie Jiuhan looked at Feng Qing and said, “From the looks of it, you and Little Aunt are already at odds?”
Feng Qing shrugged. “It’s not that serious.”
Xie Jiuhan raised his thumb. “Well done!”

Feng Qing: “???”
The man praised her so much that she felt embarrassed. Moreover, when this man was ruthless, he did not even spoil his elders. However, the man was right. She was indeed very outstanding.
Xie Jiuhan finished his milk and said, “So, is Little Aunt sick because you angered her, or is she pretending to be sick?”
Feng Qing smiled. “Of course she’s pretending.”
The man nodded and said, “What’s the special medicine that Ji Yunchen prescribed? Why haven’t I heard him say anything?”
Feng Qing ate her bread and said with a smile, “Let’s not talk about it during the meal. I’m afraid you’ll vomit if you know.”
Just as Xie Jiuhan was curious about what Feng Qing was talking about, Xie Qi walked into the dining room and said respectfully, “Young Madam, your delivery is here.”
Feng Qing was stunned. “Delivery? I don’t think I’ve bought something recently, right?”
There was no doubt that the express delivery that could pass through the layers of scrutiny of the Xie Manor and finally reach her was absolutely safe. Hence, Feng Qing opened the express delivery on the spot and took out a straight wooden box. Moreover, it was also black. From the color and patterns, it was very similar to the one Xie Jiuhan had used to store the gems and diamonds.
Xie Jiuhan was curious. “What is this?”
Feng Qing shook her head. “I don’t know. I didn’t buy it.”
With that, she pushed open the lid of the wooden box. Instantly, a shining smoothness appeared in front of everyone. The beautiful light made Feng Qing’s face look very bright. The thing in the box was too dazzling, so much so that Xie Jiuhan and Xie Qi’s mouths were open in surprise.
The black wooden box was filled with pure white ice silk. There were also some colorful round pearls on the silk. The smallest pearl was the size of a fingernail. Unlike ordinary pearls, these pearls seemed to glow themselves, making one’s eyes hurt.
After a long while, Xie Qi replied, “Eh, isn’t this the Mermaid’s Tears?”
“Mermaid’s Tear” was one of the names of the pearls. Only translucent milk-colored pearls with a faint violet full moon glow on the surface had the right to be called “Mermaid’s Tear”.
