Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers

Chapter 28: Chapter 28 Dreaming of Good Times

Soon, she unsurprisingly collected all the gold and silver in the vault back into her space!

Everything went smoothly, as if divinely assisted.

Seeing another small mountain of gold and silver added to her space, Qi Yue was virtually ecstatic.

On her way back, she accidentally saw Shen Yu staring blankly at her empty quilt.

Under the lamplight, her gaze was hollow and weary.

Qi Yue’s scalp tightened at that moment.

“Mother, when did you get up?”

Shen Yu was not good at lying and couldn’t keep it together when Qi Yue asked.

“Yueyue, did you run into some trouble? Although mother is useless, I still want to try and comfort you.”

Seeing Shen Yu’s misunderstanding, Qi Yue was helpless.

However, this was not something she could casually disclose to anyone.

“Mother, I just went out because Qian Faliang was up to no good. I planned to deal with him properly, just making some preparations! I can tell you now, but you must not divulge it to anyone.”

The simple-minded Shen Yu believed her at once.

“Rest assured, Yueyue, mother will absolutely not blabber. Mother is just worried about you, afraid that something might happen to you… Wuu wuu…”

As she spoke, she actually began to cry.

“If I didn’t have you, what would mother do? What would Yanyan do?”

Qi Yue was speechless.

Shen Yu was clearly still preoccupied with the words Bai Jiahui said yesterday, worrying that she didn’t truly like Zhao Xiyan, worrying that she would abandon the Zhao family and disappear.

But at such a time, she couldn’t make any promises either, after all, she hadn’t made her final decision!

In the end, Qi Yue patiently cajoled her in a soft voice for a while before Shen Yu became cheerful again.

Qi Yue was tired too.

If it weren’t for her past life as a doctor, along with some little tricks to comfort patients,

otherwise, facing Shen Yu, a beauty made of water, would be enough to give her a severe headache.

When one has money, one can sleep soundly, and that night Qi Yue did indeed sleep very sweetly.

The next day, the exile convoy set off with large and small supplies.

Just one li out, Qian Faliang hurriedly caught up to the Zhao family’s carriage in a fluster.

“Master, master, it’s terrible! Terrible news!”

Qi Yue knew it was the news of the vault’s theft, and deliberately acted nonchalant.

“What’s the matter? Such panic from the honorable official!”

Qian Faliang wiped the beads of sweat off his forehead.

“Master, please don’t joke at my expense! It really is terrible news!”

Qi Yue’s eyes flickered slightly.

“Does it have anything to do with me?”

“Of course, it does!” Qian Faliang was desperately anxious, “Master, your mansion has been burglarized! Your vast fortunes are all gone! I suspect it was the mountain bandits nearby!”

Recalling the mountains of gold and silver lying in her space, Qi Yue felt secretly thrilled, unable to sound as grave as her words implied.

“If it’s gone, it’s gone. With your skills, it won’t be long before we get that gold and silver back.”

“Qian Faliang, don’t say I didn’t warn you, but yesterday’s deed was clear that the mansion belongs to me, and not a single item inside can go missing. If that vault is empty, you’ll have to make it up to me. Understand?”

Upon hearing this, Qian Faliang immediately collapsed to the ground.

The gold and silver in that vault had taken him twenty years to accumulate; if he had to amass another pile, he would never live carefree again.

He had originally planned to use Qi Yue to deal with the mountain bandits nearby and recover some of the losses.

But he didn’t expect Qi Yue to be so difficult to outsmart.

“No, I must find a way to break free from this woman’s control!”

In Qian Faliang’s downcast eyes shone a vicious light, and his hands clenched into fists!

Qi Yue pretended not to notice his reaction and just smiled faintly.

“Qian Faliang, regarding the matter of the National Treasure, you need to send me a message quickly.”

“Yes, my lord.”

What followed was a long journey on the road.

In the beginning, the road was passable, and they could ride in a carriage, but later it became terribly bumpy.

The others were still alright, but for the two patients, Zhao Yongzhe and Zhao Xiyan, it was a tough ordeal.

Even though they were sitting in a carriage, they were basically shaken to pieces!

Qi Yue, seeing this with a heavy heart, tied the fur she had saved from hunting rabbits onto the wheels, and that made things much better.

After traveling like this for two days, Zhao Yongzhe began trying to walk, and the results were quite encouraging.

The exiled crowd, upon seeing this, all marveled at Qi Yue’s impressive medical skills.

“Qi Yue’s medical skills are too impressive! To think someone with a broken leg can still walk?”

“Being able to walk isn’t that strange, but the real surprise is how quickly he can do it!”

“Exactly, I feel like Zhao Yongzhe’s condition has actually improved. He doesn’t look like someone who has had a broken leg at all.”

“Indeed, I’ve noticed too, not just Zhao Yongzhe, but it seems like all of the Zhao Family’s health has improved. Look at Shen Yu, who used to fall over at the slightest gust of wind, and now look at her, striding along with vigor!”

“Could it be that Qi Yue has given them some kind of tonic to strengthen the body?”

“It must be so, back in the Capital City, our family also frequently consumed tonics. But now… sigh…”

Once these people finished their discussion, they actually turned their attention to Qi Yue, some even contemplating asking her for medical advice.

But Qi Yue didn’t show them a friendly face and shooed them all away.

How could she possibly give them Spiritual Spring Water to drink every day!

What a wishful thinking!

However, these people had not given up hope and even turned to Shen Yu for help.

They complained about their aching feet and legs, saying they could hardly walk anymore and feared dying along the way.

Because of the previous incident that angered Qi Yue, Shen Yu didn’t dare to agree rashly.

But in the end, she was soft-hearted and mentioned it to Qi Yue during their rest.

“Qi Yue, I see you’ve gathered quite a few herbs. Are any of them good for treating leg and foot pain?”

Qi Yue flatly refused.

“Mother, don’t speak for those people about medicine anymore. Their legs and feet ache because they are lazy and delicate. If they walk more, the pain will naturally subside!”

Worried that some might covet the medicinal herbs on her carriage, she added another sentence.

“Mother, as you know, I also make poison. A large part of those herbs are toxic, so please make sure Shuanghua and the others do not touch them carelessly.”

Upon hearing this, those who had been eavesdropping around the Zhao Family members all scattered like smoke.

Qi Yue curled her lips.

Were these people still not awake from their dreams of grandeur?

Even after being banished, they were still thinking about taking tonics, utterly idle and frustrated.

If there were no life-threatening illness like a headache or fever, they should just quietly find their pleasure in stealth!

Yet they were all eagerly seeking medicine!

She glanced sideways and saw that Cong Zhonglan, a pregnant woman, standing not too close nor too far, as if she wanted to approach but didn’t dare to.

In fact, Qi Yue did not yet know that the words she had previously said about this woman having an abnormal fetal position and the risk of ‘one corpse, three deaths,’ had already spread.

Especially after she refused to provide tonics to everyone, basically the entire exiled troop was saying that she was ruthless, a harbinger of ill omen, selfish, and lacked the same life-saving spirit of General Qi from years past.

Seeing that the woman’s time of delivery was imminent, everyone’s eyes were on her!

“Do you think she would ignore this woman’s plight and let her die?”

“I think it’s very likely, given that the woman follows the Zhao Family’s carriage every day and hasn’t received as much as a glance!”

“I think she’s playing with fire. If she doesn’t intervene and there’s indeed ‘one corpse, three deaths,’ that woman’s man is a murderer; he won’t spare her!”

“Hmph, that murderer is nothing compared to her! Didn’t you see how she dealt with Qian Faliang?”

“It’s a sin! Having medical knowledge yet refusing to help, are the heavens blind?”

“Shh, keep it down. She’s looking this way! Careful, or she might give you a Poison Pill and you’ll become the second Qian Faliang!”
