Chapter 447: Your Son Was The One Who Paid

He originally thought that he would be a loser after losing to Great Xia. He did not expect that he would really hook up with the Crown Prince of Great Xia. “Prince, why didn’t the First Prince say that the Second Prince poisoned the late king?”
Cheryan glanced at him from the corner of his eye. “That’s naturally because Chercha is involved in this matter.”
His subordinate widened his eyes in shock. Then, he looked at his chest in disbelief. A dagger was deeply inserted into his chest.
Cheryan kicked him away and retracted his dagger. At the same time, he whispered, “Me too.”
That old thing is so annoying. Who doesn’t want him to die?”
Moreover, he was the one who taught his sons to be so cold-blooded and vicious. He naturally deserved this outcome.
Occasionally, he would be envious of others. At the very least, he did not have to fight for the throne.
Xiaoxiao and Rong Yan did not know what was going on with the silver that they had lost and regained for the time being. After achieving their goal, the two of them had to return to the Imperial Capital as soon as possible.
After all, Rong Yan had to go to work every day and attend morning court, while Xiaoxiao had to study with Grand Secretary Gu.
It was not that she had never tried to give up, but everyone in the family unanimously agreed to let her study-including her biological parents, her adoptive parents, her Second Brother, who opened a shop, and her Eldest Brother, who continued to study in the capital with Dean Lu after he finished traveling.
Even Rong Yan thought that only by letting everyone know that she was learning from Grand Secretary Gu would she not arouse suspicion when she displayed more and more wisdom in the future.
Xiaoxiao calculated the time since Eldest Brother participated in the imperial examination. She sighed and pretended to be reluctant.
In fact, ever since the space rose to this level, she felt that her life was a little empty.
She was already an adult, so she couldn’t just think about eating, drinking, and having fun all day, especially when she had many times more time than others. She realized that although the flow of time in the space could be changed, as long as she wanted to, she would not be affected by the flow of time when she entered the space.
To put it simply, although she and Rong Yan often went in and out of the space, the speed of their physical growth was still the same as the outside world. They did not grow up and age quickly just because they lived countless days and nights longer than others in the space.
Other than the things that Xiaoxiao recognized as ingredients, even Wind and Lightning, Walnut and Scarf were not affected. They were just more spiritual and stronger than ordinary animals.
In this aspect, space was very intelligent and humane.
The space that was praised was overjoyed. A new function actually appeared in the reward of the level 70 brocade pouch.
[Bound quota +1.]
Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows: [You mean I can get Little Big Brother to bind to you too?]
The space expressed affirmation: [After using this function, there will be an additional user in this space. He can obtain the ability to enter and leave the space at any time.]
Xiaoxiao was not very satisfied. [Is it only accessibility?] The space was very insistent: [The other functions are only for the use of the space master. They can’t be changed. The space master has a unique locking function. They can’t be changed.]
After thinking for a moment, the space said to Xiaoxiao: [Master, I won’t hide it from you. Among the previous Masters of our space, there are no lack of examples of people being betrayed by people they trust. Wealth moves people’s hearts and dazzles their eyes, let alone a heaven-defying existence like space.] [At first, a space did not have a unique lock function. It was because too many tragedies happened that the main system had no choice but to set the rules.] [Master, do you really trust Rong Yan completely?]
[According to his fortuitous encounters, perhaps his heart has long been filled with darkness and he has long hated everything in this world.]
Xiaoxiao smiled and asked, “Didn’t you ask me to be your master here to change him and the original ending of this world?”
There was silence in the space. It did not say anything else and changed the scene back to the reward selection page of the brocade pouch.
Xiaoxiao tied Rong Yan to the second user of the space without hesitation. At this moment, Rong Yan, who was attending court, heard a notification that he had only become familiar with recently.
[You have been set as the second user of the space. Recall the scene in the space in your mind and silently say ‘enter’. You can enter at any time.]
[The second user’s access rights will always be restricted by the first user. The space’s Master is the only binding that cannot be transferred.]
Rong Yan’s heart was filled with warmth. What kind of fate made him meet Xiaoxiao?
If the heavens sent Xiaoxiao to her side to compensate him for all these years, he would gladly endure it even if it happened again.
Thanks to County Magistrate Shen’s efforts, the new rice seeds had spread across half of Great Xia’s territory. It brought not only the joy of a bumper harvest, but also the straightened the pride and the inviolable prestige of Great Xia.
After weighing the pros and cons, Xiaoxiao pulled Rong Yan out to shop.
The two of them did not deliberately hide their identities, so many of the surrounding commoners recognized them.
The Imperial Capital was different from other territories. It was not a big deal to see princes and royal relatives. At most, they were afraid of offending them and deliberately stayed away.
Xiaoxiao and Rong Yan did not mind and just strolled around the bustling streets of the Imperial Capital.
It was because life was stable and peaceful. The commoners were also in high spirits when they went out. There was an endless stream of pedestrians on the streets of the Imperial Capital. Be it those who went out to hang around or those who seized the opportunity to set up stalls to get rich, they were all brimming with smiles from the bottom of their hearts and shouting happily. Among the various merchants, some unfamiliar faces unknowingly blended into the crowd. They either sold common needlework, some displayed pots and pans of different shapes, or even more were selling books.
As the supervisor of “There’s a Book House”, it was normal for Xiaoxiao to linger at these stalls. The smile of the book vendor was gentle, but it was a little unnatural. The corners of his mouth and the corners of his eyes seemed to be engraved on his face. At first glance, one would not feel it, but if one observed carefully, they would discover that the smile was unchanged.
Although he had always been gentle and polite, one still felt that he was a little strange.
However, not many people had the chance to discover this strangeness because Xiaoxiao asked him, “Is this a book about the improvement of farm tools?” “Look, it seems interesting. How much is it?”
That person raised a palm. “500 taels.”
The commoners along the way were attracted by this shocking price. Hence, this matter spread in the capital for a while. Even the Emperor had heard of it.
He tried his best not to mention it during the morning court assembly, but he immediately asked Xiao Ran, “So your daughter really bought an old book with 500 taels of silver?”
Xiao Ran rolled her eyes. “What do you mean by old book?”
“Then aren’t the ancient paintings and ancient books you spent a lot of money on also old things?”
The Emperor did not argue with her and only asked, “She really bought it?” Xiao Ran said, “Yes, Xiaoxiao said that the improved method is indeed feasible, so she bought the book.”
The Emperor raised his eyebrows. “No, do you pamper her so much? She bought a book worth 500 taels just like that, and you think she bought it right? Aren’t you worried that she’ll be scammed and you’ll all become suckers?” As far as he knew, the Xiao Family’s financial situation was average, right?
Xiao Ran chuckled. “That’s not our problem.”
She said proudly, “Your son paid for the books..”
