Chapter 20: Whoever Marries Her Is Really Lucky
"Do you think it's normal for a petite woman like her to be able to lift that heavy iron pot without changing her expression? Why don't you let Jing'er try to lift that iron pot? See if she can lift it up or not."
Thinking about his elder brother's question, Xiao Han hesitated and said, "Maybe she was born stronger than an ordinary woman."
Xiao Shao looked at his younger brother for a second, before he shook his head helplessly and said, "Do you even believe what you just said? No matter how strong a woman was when she was born, it is impossible to have that kind of strength without learning martial arts."
Listening to his elder brother's words, Xiao Han fell silent. After a moment of silence, Xiao Shao said, "Forget it. I have already sent the hidden guards to investigate her. After a few days, I will naturally know who she is."
As soon as his words fell, Xu Xiang approached them again with a basket in her hand. She sat beside Xiao Han, put down the basket and started cooking. Pouring water into the iron pot, she put the iron pot on the fire, and sprinkled a little salt into the water.
When the water was boiling, she opened the lid of the basket and took out a pack of medicine and a new medicine pot. She handed the medicine to Xiao Han and said, "I bought this medicine in Bei Qiang City yesterday. Boil two bowls of water into one bowl and let your elder brother drink it. It can nourish his body and help his internal injuries recover faster."
After finishing speaking, she saw that the water had boiled, so she didn't even look at Xiao Shao, and continued to cook. Xiao Han held the medicine for a long time in his hand, before turning his head to look at his elder brother. Sitting around the bonfire, Xiao Shao naturally heard what Xu Xiang said just now.
He calmly cupped his fists at Xu Xiang and said, "Thank you, Miss Xu."
Xu Xiang glanced at him, and replied politely: "Everything I do is to repay Aunt Wen and Er Lang for saving my life. Young Master Xiao doesn't need to thank me."
