“Withdraw your teeth,” Grandpa Ash scolded Oil Jar, before speaking to the little mouse behind him “Oil Lamp, let Xiaoyao take a look at your illness Don’t be afraid, Xiaoyao’s one of our people”
“Heheh,” said the Ning Xiaoyao who had been treated as one of the group Grandpa Ash didn’t say she was ‘one of our mice,’ ah
Oil La as he tis “hello, Xiaoyao My name is Oil Lamp”
Ning Xiaoyao cradled Oil Laainst the tuood news
“Xiaoyao, can this illness be cured?” Oil Jar asked nervously
“No proble Xiaoyao sat on the bed Since she couldn’t find a knife, she picked up a pair of scissors instead “No illness exists that I can’t cure”
“If you’re treating Oil Lamp’s illness, why use a blade?”
A blade?
Oil Lamp was scared to death as heXiaoyao said, “Oil Lamp, there’s a peanut in front of you”
Oil Lamp quickly turned to face forward “Peanut? Where?”
Grandpa Ash and Oil Jar looked forward as well The allure of peanuts were too powerful Ning Xiaoyao took advantage of Oil La off half of his tail in the process as well
“Squeak!” The pain caused Oil La all the animals inside and outside to death For some reason, theopen the door to the roo Mute Nanny and a court lady holding a serving tray They locked eyes with Ning Xiaoyao As soon as the court lady saw Ning Xiaoyao, she screa Xiaoyao tossed aside the scissors and held onto Oil La, partly to look bewildered at the pair outside the door What rong with them?
“Your, Your Majesty, have mercy,” the little court lady kneeled on the floor to ko to her Mute Nanny looked at if she’d lost her soul as she stood there as dull as a block of wood Blood had splattered to cover half of His Majesty’s face, also staining the scissors that were in her right hand In her left hand was a dead, blood-drenchedmice in cold blood?!
“Did I look at you the wrong way?” Ning Xiaoyao asked the little court lady, her face half covered in blood
The little court lady was crying so much that she couldn’t speak His Majesty’s too scary!
Ning Xiaoyao peeked to see what had dropped on the floor Fortunately, it was just tea If it was food, she’d have feltelse, then you can withdraw I have enough water to drink here” Ning Xiaoyao didn’t knohy the court lady was crying, nor did she have time to ask So she asked her to leave instead
Mute Nanny quickly helped the court lady away Ning Xiaoyao used a sleeve to wipe the blood off her face before opening her fingers to check on Oil Lamp’s tail By now, the blood had stopped, and the tuery a success Ning Xiaoyao grabbed a clean handkerchief and wrapped up Oil Laround “All right, keep your tail away from water for the next few days Come back three days later so I can have another look”
The weight that had always dragged hi with the pain Oil Lamp was so happy that he could dance for joy Grandpa Ash ju Xiaoyao with his beady eyes Ning Xiaoyao was about to pick up the discarded turound for closer examination, but felt nervous fros and said, “That there, I haven’t prepared the peanuts yet”
“I heard you cursed the eer?” Grandpa Ash asked

“Understood?” Grandpa Ash asked Ning Xiaoyao nodded, even if she didn’t get it This mouse was just like Elder Li, someone she couldn’t afford to offend
“The Grand Preceptor was cursing Xiaoyao too,” Oil Lamp spoke up
“H Xiaoyao hurried to say, “Oil Lamp, you live at the Grand Preceptor’s estate?”
“I live in the third big house on the left side of Fragrant Gauze Alley,” Oil La Xiaoyao could only shake her head since she was unfamiliar with the capital city
Big Boss Black licked his whiskers “Fragrant Gauze Alley, third house on the left, that should be where the head steward of the Grand Preceptor’s estate keeps his little woht?”
“Yep,” Oil Lamp nodded
“…” said Ning Xiaoyao Even a steward had his own little woood at all?
“Xiaoyao,” Oil La Xiaoyao, “That head steward says the Grand Preceptor calls you a simpleton in his estate”
“That old bastard! I’ll bite hiyrfalcon furiously flapped his wings as well to express his anger
Ning Xiaoyao waved a hand at them both and said, “He’s the one who’s a simpleton His entire family are simpletons”
Oil Las froht out to be sold, and then used the ees?”
Ning Xiaoyao was very surprised “How do you know?”
“The head steward said so,” Oil Laiven orders to stop you for fishi+ng for fa people’s hearts to your side, and sos I can’t remember, squeak squeak”
Ning Xiaoyao dig her fingers into her hands Great, so the Grand Preceptor already knew about her sending Shadowgale and the rest off to sell the itenias fro any secrets?
“Isn’t Xiaoyao doing good deeds?” Oil Jar asked, “Why is the Grand Preceptor cursing her?”
“The Grand Preceptor said that there are too ees, and that Xiaoyao can’t afford to raise theiven orders to all the grain shops in the capital, to not sell any grain to Xiaoyao anymore”
Ning Xiaoyao wanted to spit blood That old geezer’s reach actually extended to the grain shops of the capital? Wasn’t he defying the natural order of things? Even the little animals were stunned
Oil La to give you a present”
A dejected Ning Xiaoyao could only reply, “Thank you, but there’s no need”
“I know the location of the Grand Preceptor estate’s secret grain depot,” Oil Lamp said out of the blue
