Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers

“It seems that we can only have Qian Faliang make inquiries again,” she said.

With the thought of using Spiritual Spring Water to cook chicken soup, Qi Yue once again headed towards the kitchen.

Unexpectedly, Qian Faliang was already waiting for her halfway there.

“My lord!”

Qi Yue frowned and came to a halt.

“What is it?”

Qian Faliang, having just taken the antidote, was brimming with energy. His beady eyes shone like round black beans with a scheming glint.

“Master, did that Zhao person say he didn’t know where the National Treasure is?”

Qi Yue’s lips curled up slightly. If she couldn’t see through Qian Faliang’s low-level provocation and divisiveness, then she would have really lived two lifetimes in vain.

“Yes, not only does he not know, but the Zhao family members have never even heard of it.”

Upon hearing this, Qian Faliang looked around and then lowered his voice.

“Master, they are deceiving you.”

“That secret contact who approached me said that the map to the National Treasure is in Zhao Xiyan’s possession. His denial, doesn’t that mean he is deceiving you, master?”

“Ha,” Qi Yue laughed, “I don’t need you to remind me of what the truth is. Think about yourself first. Isn’t it about time that you also showed your loyalty to your master?”

Qian Faliang immediately bowed deeply, “I wouldn’t dare to be disloyal to my master!”

Qi Yue’s smile grew even more profound.

“Is that so? I heard you accepted a silver note of 100,000 from Qi Fengzhang. It’s been days, and I haven’t seen as much as a scrap of paper. Is this your loyalty?”

Qian Faliang’s face instantly paled.

“Master, about that silver note, I don’t know how, but it disappeared.”

Qi Yue pretended to be surprised.

“Disappeared, how could it disappear? Could it have returned to its original owner?”

Qian Faliang looked stunned, then immediately slapped his thigh.

“Master is wise! It must be that old man took the silver note while I was not in my right mind!”

“Master, I will go and settle the score with that old man right away!”

Watching Qian Faliang angrily storm off, the corners of Qi Yue’s cold lips slowly curled upwards.

These past days, Qi Fengzhang and Bai Jiahui, that couple, had become smarter, always avoiding her, making it difficult for her to seek revenge for the previous owner.

Seeing that half the path had been traveled, it was time to free up her hands and clean them out.

And why not make another profit off some silver while she was at it?

That night Qi Yue personally cooked: a dish of eight treasures chicken, boiled fish, braised pork knuckles, along with several other side dishes.

All eight members of the Zhao family, plus Qi Yue, making nine in total, finished all the dishes.

Zhao Shuangyun and the others, even after they were finished eating, couldn’t stop praising the food.

“It’s strange, the same chicken, but the soup that elder sister-in-law cooks is so delicious, it’s like nectar from the heavens.”

“Elder sister-in-law is truly a fairy, capable of anything.”

“…”

Zhao Yonglian, of course, was full of praise as well, his mouth running on, even claiming that he’d like to continue this exile forever, which earned him a fierce glare from Zhao Yongzhe.

“That’s all you aspire to! With Yueyue here, any day is a good day, no matter where we are!”

While speaking, he gently patted his leg, “Yueyue, my leg hasn’t hurt at all recently, should I try walking?”

Qi Yue moved over to take his pulse, internally marveling at the remarkable effects of the Spiritual Spring Water.

Normally, with the extent of bone fractures he had, it would take at least a year or two to recover.

“Hmm, I will teach father a few movements that can be done while seated to start rebuilding the muscles and prepare for walking,” she said.

As she spoke, she naturally glanced at Zhao Xiyan.

“You too can learn alongside him, and when we get to Longnan…”

She suddenly stopped herself, not finishing the sentence.

Her original plan had been to demand a divorce paper from Zhao Xiyan once they arrived at Longnan Ridge, thus becoming innocent and free to live as she pleased.

But if she were to treat his leg, who knew how much time would be wasted?

What’s said is unintentional, but the listener takes it to heart.

Zhao Xiyan sharply caught the information in her words.

“Do you mean,” you just said, “I could also…stand up like Dad?”

The man’s beauty was beyond question.

For several months, with Qi Yue’s excellent medicine and the nourishment of the Spiritual Spring Water, this man’s attractiveness obviously surpassed that of the night when they first met.

His skin was even whiter, almost translucent, like a transparent jellyfish.

Every time Qi Yue saw this face, she couldn’t help but want to reach out and touch it, wondering if water would drip from his skin.

His eyelashes were long and curled, and when he looked at her with such hopeful eyes, he appeared both pitiful and adorable.

“Uh,” Qi Yue found it hard to refuse such a Zhao Xiyan, “you should first build muscle, and once we settle down in a place…there will always be a chance…”

“Good,” Zhao Xiyan responded with a brilliant smile, “I trust you.”

This was the first time Qi Yue had seen him smile.

The smile bloomed like fireworks, coloring the air around them.

Qi Yue smelt the scent of roses, and for a moment, she felt at a loss.

In her panic, she actually grabbed the mask lying beside him and pressed it against his face.

“Now that we’ve finished eating, you better put this on… someone might come…”

“Okay, help me with it!”

His voice was clear and lustrous as jade, and Qi Yue’s hands uncontrollably grabbed the straps of the mask.

Fortunately, Qian Faliang’s voice truly came from outside the door, saving Qi Yue from her impending madness.

“Master, I have something to report.”

Qi Yue hurriedly threw the mask onto Zhao Xiyan’s lap and ran out as if fleeing from something.

The moment her footsteps crossed the threshold, she transformed back into the indifferent and severe Qi Yue.

Qian Faliang was bowing, holding a stack of silver notes in his hands.

“Master, I don’t know how that old bastard spent it, but of the hundred thousand silver notes, only this little is left.”

Qi Yue took them over, inwardly shocked.

There were still thirty thousand silver notes left?

But she had taken the hundred thousand herself!

Could it be that Qi Fengzhang had hidden so much more on himself?

She wondered if she could still squeeze more out of him?

Her hands were itching!

She deftly slipped the thirty thousand silver notes into her sleeve, actually into her space.

“Qian Faliang, have you ever thought about what it means for Qi Fengzhang to be able to take so much money out right under the nose of the Imperial Capital Prefecture?”

A glint passed through Qian Faliang’s beady eyes.

“Master, it’s impossible for him to bring the silver notes out of the Capital City. I have verified that these notes were given to him on the way!”

“Oh, such a thing happened?” Qi Yue was genuinely interested.

It seemed her cheap uncle was not so simple.

“Yes, master, Qi Fengzhang said his old housekeeper brought him the silver notes, but I think it’s suspicious.”

“Hmm, keep interrogating Qi Fengzhang. Also, his woman is not an easy person to deal with.”

“Yes, master.”

“Moreover, we’re about to reach Yuezhou, and it’s time to convert all your wealth into silver notes.”

“Yes, master. I will send the message immediately.”

Her space couldn’t be revealed, and converting Qian Faliang’s wealth into silver notes was the best way to carry it away legitimately.

Qian Faliang bowed and left. Half a pot of tea later, a homing pigeon soared into the sky.

Tied to the pigeon’s leg was a note that read: Convert all silver notes into gold, silver, and other precious treasures.

Qian Faliang looked up at the sky, his fingers stroking his chin where no beard grew.

“Fat woman! I’ll let you drool over my wealth but be unable to move it. Once you’re in Longnan Ridge, you’ll never be allowed out, and we’ll see how you lay hands on my vast family fortune!”
