The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny - Chapter 369

Chapter 369: Strange Noise

Xie Qiao stared at the little black dog, lost in thought.

Its black hair had no flaws at all. It was really rare. When it grew up in the future, this dog’s blood would definitely be useful.

Thinking of that, Xie Qiao’s expression became awkward for a moment.

Normally… she would not chase after the same dog for blood… she would only borrow some when she had no other choice.

“Aunt, you don’t have to be so careful. Eldest Brother and I didn’t think of getting some small animals to accompany Xi’er before this. You’re really thoughtful,” Xie Qiao quickly said.

Lin Yaxiang smiled, “Your body isn’t well. How can you take care of everything? I heard from Xi’er that you fainted a few times after coming to the capital. I was thinking of asking my Father to take a look at you. Although his medical skills aren’t very high, he has seen many strange and difficult diseases. Perhaps he can give you some suggestions.”

Xie Qiao immediately agreed to this good intention.

Grandpa Lin washed up and changed his clothes. Not long after, he walked out clean and brought up the matter. He took Xie Qiao’s pulse on the way.

His expression became more and more serious.

In the end, he sighed and shook his head.

“It’s a good thing that you were born into a wealthy family,” Grandpa Lin finally said.

A wealthy family could buy many good supplements. Otherwise, she would not have been able to live until now.

Xie Pinghuai also knew that Xie Qiao’s life was short, so he was not surprised when he heard that. However, he secretly felt even more awkward.

He should listen to his eldest sister. She did not have long to live, so no matter how much she tortured him, it would probably only be… one or two years. She would be able to die peacefully even if he endured it.

“Can’t Father do anything about it?” Lin Yaxiang was very surprised.

“Sigh, that won’t do. For the First Young Lady to be able to live until now, she must have a prescription. I won’t show off in front of an expert,” Grandpa Lin put the things away and then added, “I’ve been practicing medicine for so many years. Sometimes, I encounter some strange patients. Those people seem to be possessed. Even if the medicine is right, they can’t get better. I think there’s something wrong with the young lady’s body. Maybe you should check it out at the temple instead?”

When he said that, Xie Qiao almost gave him a thumbs up.

Grandpa Lin was definitely capable.

Moreover, he had many ideas. He actually found the root of the illness so easily.

“My Eldest Sister used to grow up in a Taoist temple,” Xie Pinghuai said.

“Then it’s no wonder,” Grandpa Lin smiled, “There are all kinds of strange things in this world. The First Young Lady’s condition is quite stable. She might even live to be a hundred years old.”

Xie Qiao smiled and retracted her wrist.

Then, she stayed in the courtyard and ate a simple meal.

Xie Qiao realized that Xie Pinghuai had become much more obedient.

He actually did not snatch anything during the meal. His sitting posture was also good.

Meanwhile, the three children of the Lin family stared at him and actually followed him. It was as if they recognized him as their boss.

Xie Qiao felt much more at ease.

However, as she was eating, Xie Qiao heard some noises faintly.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The sounds were very regular and did not stop.

“What’s that noise outside?” Xie Qiao asked the Lin family members in puzzlement.

“Maybe it’s from a blacksmith shop. These two days, it will start ringing at this time, and it will last for about two hours,” Lin Yaxiang explained, then she said, “But yesterday, I asked the neighbors, and they had a strange attitude, as if they didn’t hear the noise.”

Xie Qiao frowned slightly.

“You guys can hear such a loud noise here, the neighbors must also hear something, right?” Xie Qiao said.

“I think they’re used to it, so they don’t think it’s loud,” Lin Yaxiang smiled.
