Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers-Chapter 364 - : I Can’t Escape, Im Always Here.
Chapter 364: Chapter 364: I Can’t Escape, I’m Always Here.
Seeing Qi Yue acting as if she hadn’t heard, she remained dazed.
Zhao Xiyan, frantic, repeatedly shouted for Zhao Chong to wipe out those troublemakers.
“What do they have to do with this? It’s my own problem.” Qi Yue timely stopped him.
“Does you look like someone with no issues right now?” Zhao Xiyan said with heartache.
In fact, he would have preferred to take everything upon himself.
“Yueyue, didn’t you say that whatever happens, we would face it together? Do you remember what you told me on our wedding day, or have you forgotten it all?”
“I haven’t forgotten.” Qi Yue pursed her lips, finally regaining some composure.
She slowly leaned against the carriage wall, her face recalling memories.
“Husband, do you remember the year we were exiled?”
“Of course, I remember,” Zhao Xiyan straightened the hair beside her ear and said gravely, “That was when I was both closest yet farthest from you. At first, I felt you were insincere, then I thought you had ulterior motives, and later on, I felt you only saw me as a brother. It was agonizing.”
A slight smile spread across Qi Yue’s wooden face.
“You were too silly then. I fell for your pretty face from the start.”
“Is it just this face?”
“What else could it be, you couldn’t even stand up then; you had no figure whatsoever,” Qi Yue glared at him.
She would never tell Zhao Xiyan that she also adored his voice.
Otherwise, this guy wouldn’t know the end of his gloating!
Seeing Qi Yue return to her usual self, Zhao Xiyan also felt reassured and opened a compartment in the carriage, bringing out some chestnut cakes.
“The steward said you like them, he had them specially brought over from Yecheng.”
“You’ve changed the subject too drastically, are you going to let me talk or not?” Qi Yue chided, her mood completely lifting.
The steward sure knew what to do!
These past few days, she had indeed been craving this flavor.
That chef in the household wasn’t good at cooking, but his pastry skills were exceptional; she liked everything he made.
Especially these chestnut cakes.
Perfectly sweet, both sticky and fragrant; eating one could lift even the worst mood.
“It’s just to let you eat a bit before we talk, I’m not going anywhere, always here.”
Zhao Xiyan earnestly said, already holding a piece to her lips.
Qi Yue, guided by the man’s hand, ate a piece of cake and began to recount slowly.
“During our exile, didn’t I tell you a story about a doctor?”
“Yes,” Zhao Xiyan nodded, “You said that man was a peerless Divine Doctor who lost his life trying to save a sinful person, got maligned posthumously, with even his family becoming implicated.”
“That man was my father.” Qi Yue slightly lifted the carriage curtain, seeing people still shouting and chasing up.
“Back then, just like today, his family, friends, and some who were ignorant, burst into the memorial service and cursed at my father’s portrait, claiming he sought fame at the expense of his health and harmed others as much as himself, worse than an animal. In fact, he could have stopped the operation and taken medication to save his own life. If so, he wouldn’t have been blamed for others’ poor care… I never imagined, decades later, living through two lifetimes, I would find myself in the same predicament…”
“Yueyue…”
Knowing Zhao Xiyan wanted to comfort her, Qi Yue simply waved her hand lightly, indicating for him to continue feeding her chestnut cakes.
After eating another piece of chestnut cake, she zoned out briefly, then continued, “You don’t have to worry, I’ve long regarded that story as someone else’s tale. After all, the me from that world has died, and knowing my father’s disposition, he probably never regretted it until his death!”
He indeed had never regretted it.
On his deathbed, his very last words to her still were—those whose hearts are not as merciful as Buddha’s, should not be doctors.
She suddenly thought of Qi Yunzhang.
Her nominal father in this life.
Did he have any regrets?
Did he regret trusting a deceptive man like Chu Yuntian?
When he discovered his sworn brother had stabbed him in the back, why did he continue issuing orders to the soldiers instead of turning around and killing Chu Yuntian on the spot?
She hurriedly pulled out the letter from her bosom to read.
From the contents of the letter, Qi Yunzhang seemed utterly trusting of his good sworn brother Chu Yuntian at the time of writing, even planning to entrust his only daughter to him.
The content of the letter was simple, just some everyday greetings and expressions of love, every line filled with a father’s love for his daughter.
Qi Yue’s heart felt clogged, and even the chestnut cake in her mouth could no longer cheer her up.
“I can’t figure it out, can’t figure it out, why is this world so full of incomprehensibles?”
Zhao Xiyan knew that today’s events had stirred her memories, so he decisively changed the topic.
“Yueyue, let’s not think about the past. Hei San mentioned that it has been snowing heavily in Yecheng these past few days. Haven’t you always wanted to see it? Why don’t we go back to Yecheng?”
“Go back?” Qi Yue was speechless.
Almost without thinking, she blurted out her concerns.
“But what about here? Are we just going to let these people die?”
“Life and death are predestined. They dared to treat you that way, why should you care about them?”
Looking at Zhao Xiyan’s cold and merciless demeanor, Qi Yue suddenly curled her lips into a smile.
It must be said, this man really hit the spot in every aspect for her.
Indeed, that was exactly what she had been thinking!
Since she didn’t have any leads now, she might as well wash her hands of it!
No no no, she couldn’t say it like that.
It wasn’t that she didn’t have an antidote, nor that she wanted to let go.
Rather, this matter wasn’t Qi Yue’s concern at all!
These commoners belonged to the Beiyuan Court, not hers. Why should she fret over them!
“Husband, you really should have reminded me sooner. I do want to see how Feng Liang handles this situation. Surely he doesn’t want a Longnan County Government wiped out by an annihilated populace!”
Zhao Xiyan pursed his lips.
“Would a reminder from me have been useful? Listen to yourself, aren’t you still worried about it?”
Qi Yue was speechless.
This damn man was sharp-eyed.
He knew that no matter what she said, she couldn’t let go in her heart.
He was provoking her on purpose!
Yet, she didn’t trust Zhao Xiyan either.
“Then why do you speak so fiercely, yet don’t actually kill all those rioting commoners?”
Zhao Xiyan snorted disdainfully.
“Because they genuinely harmed you, I will let them die in regret.”
Qi Yue was stunned.
His words rang true.
According to the original plan, she should have been in the laboratory striving to break through challenges and searching for an antidote.
If it wasn’t for being slandered, would she have thrown everything away in a fit of anger?
Time is life!
To keep delaying like this, with the current development of the disease, who knew how many would die.
If those commoners finally understood the truth, they would surely regret treating her this way, wouldn’t they?
When she returned home and just stepped through the door, Huang Zai’an rushed towards her.

“Disciple, where have you been? With the situation as it is now, do you still have time to wander off?”
Qi Yue had had enough.
How could she forget.
This cheap master of hers was a true Saint Mother indeed!
“What’s it to you? It’s my own time; I’ll go wherever I want. Didn’t I tell you, I’m leaving Longnan County Government!”
“What?” Huang Zai’an’s eyes bulged in exaggeration, “You’re leaving?”
“Yeah,” Qi Yue said serenely, “Yes, you better pack up quickly and come with me.”
