Chapter 687 A Plump Girl

Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations

A low-key yet luxurious carriage rolled into Chu Village and came to a stop in front of Chu Qingzhi’s house.

A well-dressed maid stepped down from the carriage, standing by its side with a respectful bow, waiting for the person inside to disembark.

Contrary to expectations, the one who emerged wasn’t some delicate young lady but a hefty girl weighing over three hundred pounds.

Her round face was almost flattened by its own flesh, and her body was so plump that describing her as merely sturdy would be an understatement.

Her chin doubled over, and her belly bulged, stretching her clothes to their limit. Thankfully, the fabric was sturdy enough to withstand the assault of her figure.

This scene caught the attention of the villagers, who had never seen such a plump girl before, finding it quite a curiosity.

Stepping out of the carriage, the hefty girl panted heavily, making onlookers feel tired just by watching her.

The maid bowed slightly, “Miss, I’ll knock on the door. Please wait a moment.”

The hefty girl waved her off with a heavy breath, “Go ahead.”

Only Chu Qingyan was at home now. She was in class on the second floor. She had missed a lot of her classes when she went to the capital previously, and Wang Xingming was catching up with her.

Hearing the maid’s voice, she peeked from the balcony before rushing back to

the hall, “Master, there’s a visitor.”

“Go and see who it is. We’ll continue the lesson afterward.”

“Okay.” Chu Qingyan hurried down, approaching the gate, “May I help you?”

The maid glanced inside, seeing no one else approaching, she said, “Our miss has come to see Miss Chu Qingzhi. Is she not here?”

Chu Qingyan replied, “My sister is busy at the moment. Please wait, I’ll fetch someone.”

“Thank you.”

Chu Qingyan ran to the ancestral hall, quickly returning with Chu Qingzhi,

“Sister, they are here for you.”

Chu Qingzhi eyed the two, especially the hefty girl.

Upon seeing Chu Qingzhi, the hefty girl couldn’t help but burst into tears, pleading desperately, “Miss Qingzhi, you must save me.”

Chu Qingzhi gently asked, “How can I assist you?”

Through her tears, the hefty girl begged, “I want to lose weight. Can you help me?”

Chu Qingzhi thought to herself. She didn’t expect there to be a problem of obesity in ancient times. “Give me your hand. I’ll take your pulse.” “Okay, okay…” The hefty girl rolled up her sleeve, presenting her arm, which was as thick as Chu Qingzhi’s leg, making a stark contrast.

“Miss Qingzhi, is there hope for my condition?”

After trying numerous methods to slim down, all ending in failure, she heard of

Chu Qingzhi’s unparalleled medical skills and couldn’t resist seeking her out.

Chu Qingzhi withdrew her hand, “You suffer from a condition that has led to obesity. I’ll prescribe you a medicine. If you stick to it, you’ll return to a normal weight in three months.”

“However, given your current weight, rapid weight loss will leave your skin unable to tighten in time, and the appearance might be unpleasant.”

Overjoyed at first, the hefty girl’s heart sank upon hearing Chu Qingzhi’s warning, quickly inquiring, “Then, what should I do?”

She said excitedly, “I want to be beautiful, I must become beautiful, please help

me, I beg you.”

Chu Qingzhi reassured, “Don’t worry, there’s a way to make you slim down and become beautiful.”

The plump girl eagerly asked, “What is it?”

Chu Qingzhi explained, “During this period, if you consistently exercise for half an hour every day, your skin will remain tight.”

“That sounds easy,” she was thrilled, feeling a renewed zest for life, “Miss, I’ve traveled a long distance to get here, and it’s far to go back. Could you find me a place to stay in the village? I can pay for rent until I slim down, then I’ll leave.” “There is a place, but it’s quite old. If you don’t mind, I can arrange it for you.”

“I don’t mind at all, thankyou for the trouble.”

“Come with me,” Chu Qingzhi led the plump girl towards the village elder’s home.

“Elder, I have something to discuss with you.”

The elder came out smiling, “What is it? Just tell me.

Chu Qingzhi said, “Brother Haodong has moved to a new house, and the old one is now vacant. This young lady behind me would like to rent it for a few months, is that okay?”

With the prospect of earning some money, the elder readily agreed, “Of course, she can rent it for as long as she likes.”

The maid took out writing materials from the carriage and drafted a lease agreement, then approached the elder with a ten-tael silver ingot, “Elder, please review the lease. If there’s no issue, sign here.”

The elder was impressed by the maid’s capability to draft a lease, a skill seemingly honed in a distinguished household.

After thoroughly reviewing the agreement and finding no issues, he signed his name, “I’ll fetch the keys for you.”

“Thankyou.”

With keys in hand, the elder led them to Haodong’s old house.

The house was old but perfectly habitable. Haodong had only moved out because his growing family needed more space.

Unlocking the door, the elder opened it, “Feel free to use anything inside, just don’t break anything.”

The maid showed some disdain for the modest dwelling compared to their grand manor, but the plump girl didn’t mind at all. All she cared about was slimming down.

“Rest assured, elder, we’ll take good care of everything,” promised the maid. “Well, then, this place is yours now. If you need any help, just let us know, said the elder, handing over the keys before leaving.

Chu Qingzhi used the maid’s writing materials to pen down a prescription, “Take this to the county town for your miss’s medication. I’ve written the brewing instructions on the paper.”

“Thankyou.” The maid was skeptical of Chu Qingzhi’s simple prescription, doubting its effectiveness since various remedies had failed her miss before. She suspected it was another attempt to make money off her miss.

After thanking her, she took out five hundred taels of silver and handed it to Chu Qingzhi. “Miss, this is the consultation fee.” She knew that Chu Qingzhi had received five million taels of silver from Lord Zhang, so she did not dare to be negligent.

“If you need anything, feel free to come to our house,” Chu Qingzhi offered kindly.

“Okay.” Seeing that Chu Qingzhi was about to leave, the maid couldn’t help but stop her. “Don’t you have anything else to say?”

Other doctors always imposed dietary restrictions. They wanted her to starve, but Chu Qingzhi did not say anything. The more the maid thought about it, the more Chu Qingzhi seemed unreliable.

Chu Qingzhi was puzzled. “What do you want me to say?
