Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers-Chapter 355 - : The title of Marquis Zhao is probably going to become history!
Chapter 355: Chapter 355: The title of Marquis Zhao is probably going to become history!
The back courtyard of the Peony Pavilion was already crowded with people.
Seeing his arrival, they all stood up, their expressions respectful.
“Lord Feng.”
Feng Liang gestured for them to sit down and after some pleasantries, he surprisingly started to describe Chu Yuntian’s bizarre behavior to everyone present.
The assassination attempt on Qi Yunzhang by Chu Yuntian back then was highly secretive.
Apart from the current Prime Minister Lin Yuan, everyone who knew the truth at that time was dead.
Of course, these people couldn’t provide any explanation for it.
After much discussion, the conversation suddenly shifted to Zhao Xiyan.
A middle-aged man with a beard spoke seriously, “In my opinion, this matter must have something to do with Zhao Xiyan.”
Another person slapped his thigh in agreement, his face full of regret.
“Exactly, if we talk about it, we should have advised the lord long ago not to let him welcome Miss Qi into the city.”
“Indeed, now Zhao Xiyan’s ambitions are clear as day, and this time by giving him an excuse to enter the city, I fear it won’t be easy to send him away!”
One person sneered audibly, “In my view, this so-called illness is clearly a situation they concocted themselves!”
As soon as these words came out, several others echoed in agreement.
“Exactly, I thought it was so strange, didn’t Huang Zai’an say so? His apprentice had admonished him to stay alert when leaving, thus he was able to report to the lord at the first opportunity. The lord simply believed them and even let them invite Miss Qi back!”
“Exactly, the lord has grown old, and his heart is set on Miss Qi, clearly not taking Lord Feng seriously!”
“I see the lord is also doing it on purpose. Aren’t just a couple of patients with strange diseases, right? Now that Zhao Xiyan has entered the city, Longnan is probably in jeopardy!”
“Lord Feng, how are the talks going with the Prime Minister? We’ve got to take action now, or else Longnan will fall into the hands of others.”
Feng Liang remained silent, his delicate features clouded as if he had some concerns.
Suddenly a burly man stood up and shouted at him.
“Lord Feng, you wouldn’t still be thinking of Miss Qi, would you? Don’t forget the lesson Hu Keqing has given us!”
Upon hearing this, many people in the room looked at Feng Liang in surprise.
“Lord Feng, what does this mean? Is there anything between you and Miss Qi?”
Feng Liang sneered and succinctly explained the past where Chu Yuntian had attempted to bring him and Qi Yue together.
After listening, everyone nodded silently.
Unexpectedly, the burly man burst out again.
“I’ve heard that Lord Feng frequented the Qi Mansion and the pharmacy to pay his respects, not less often than Hu Keqing, right?!”
Upon hearing this, Feng Liang gave the speaker a cold look.
“Li Sanyue, if you’re not willing to plot with everyone, you don’t have to come here. What’s the point in talking about such trivial matters?”
The man known as Li Sanyue let out a cold snort, unyielding.
“Lord Feng, I just want to remind you, don’t get blinded by beauty like Hu Keqing and end up harming everyone in the process!”
Feng Liang also stared at him coldly, his voice harsh.
“Commander Li, rest assured, you just need to manage your soldiers well, you don’t need to worry about anything else!”
At this moment, the crowd stepped forward to persuade them and only then did Feng Liang glower at Li Sanyue before returning to his seat.
“No need for anyone to worry about this matter. Miss Qi is already married to Zhao Xiyan, and I, Feng Liang, am not without women, I won’t make the foolish mistake that Hu Keqing did!”
“That’s good to hear.” Someone stood up and said, “But now that the lord has fallen out with Miss Qi, why don’t we take advantage of the situation?”
Feng Liang smirked, “I already have a plan in mind, just wait and see!”
“Excellent. Please keep in touch with Prime Minister Lin!”
“…..”
After more flattery from the crowd, they began to disperse one by one.
Meanwhile, Chu Yuntian had locked himself in his study, staring at a bloodstained letter in his hand for a long time.
Had Qi Yue arrived at that moment, she would surely have been surprised.
The writing on the letter was unmistakably Qi Yunzhang’s, and the opening sentence read as follows.
“Yueyue my daughter, having not received a letter from your father for such a long time, you must be angry…”
Just as Chu Yuntian was about to continue reading, a few knocks sounded from outside the door, followed by the voice of Madam Chu.
“My lord, have you finished your work? No matter how busy you are, you still need to eat. You haven’t had anything to eat in a whole day!”
“…” Chu Yuntian’s cracked lips moved slightly, but ultimately he made no sound.
He closed the letter in his hands and placed it back in a box, covered it as before, and then stood up to open the door.
Madam Chu entered, carrying food, and as she laid out the meal, she whispered words of persuasion.
“My lord, don’t worry anymore. Qi Yue is here to treat the illness. Now that she has returned, you should be at ease. Please eat something!”
Chu Yuntian waved his hand to stop her from continuing.
“Madam, Yueyue and Zhao Xiyan are already married. Choose a few gifts to send over as a wedding present!”
Hearing this, Madam Chu’s face brightened, and she continued to talk even more incessantly.
“I’ve always said, only a person like Zhao Marquis is fitting for Yueyue, and it turned out to be true!”
The hand Chu Yuntian used to grip his chopsticks trembled slightly, and he suddenly said something inexplicably.
“Before long, the title of Zhao Marquis might become a thing of the past!”
Madam Chu, not understanding his meaning, pressed for an answer repeatedly, but Chu Yuntian stopped talking and just kept his head down, eating his food.
Having talked for a while and finding it pointless, Madam Chu muttered about finding some nice gifts for Qi Yue as a wedding present, and left.
The study returned to silence. Chu Yuntian sighed, put down his chopsticks, and sat silently at the table, motionless for a long time.
Meanwhile, Qi Yue had already arrived at the Hu Residence.
Soldiers still guarded the exterior, and to her surprise, she saw Little Shanzi just leaving the main gate of the Hu Family.
Upon seeing Qi Yue, he hurriedly came to greet her.
“Senior sister.”
“Why are you here?” Qi Yue asked, puzzled.

“The master is also here,” said Little Shanzi. “Didn’t Chu officer tell senior sister? Now all the homeless patients are being placed here.”
Qi Yue furrowed her brows.
“Does that mean there’s a problem with everyone in the Hu Residence?”
“Yes, senior sister.”
As Little Shanzi spoke, he no longer went to the pharmacy to fetch things, but hurriedly ushered Qi Yue and her companions into the residence.
The Hu Family’s estate was deep, and as soon as they entered the corridor, Qi Yue had already gained a general understanding of the patients’ conditions.
“Senior sister, the master will be delighted to see you; he said that only you can treat this disease!”
Little Shanzi had an expression as if her arrival meant everything would be alright, which left Qi Yue somewhat speechless.
Although she hadn’t yet observed the condition of the illness, just hearing about it sounded quite troublesome.
“Let me treat you first.”
Qi Yue gave Little Shanzi a white look and grabbed his arm.
“Senior sister, I’m fine. Master has me take medicine every day as a precaution. Really, I don’t have any strange growths on my body.”
While saying this, he stood still, letting Qi Yue check his pulse.
After checking his left hand, Qi Yue took his right.
“What medicine does the master prescribe?”
“Master didn’t say, but I recognized some of it. There’s Lingzhi, Honeysuckle, Ginseng, Peony…”
