Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers Chapter 344

Chapter 344: Chapter 344: Find some time to get it done!

Poisoners had disappeared without a trace, and Qi Yue could only busy herself with the tasks at hand.

Rishengchang had already been dismantled, and all sorts of stones and wood had been prepared; what remained was the reconstruction.

That evening, Qi Yue and Zhao Xiyan walked around the old site of Rishengchang and then left.

Early the next morning, a promptly awakened Qu Wei saw many things he had neither seen nor heard of before.

Understandably shocked, he also realized these were Qi Yue's doings, though he didn't quite understand how these things were to be used.

Too distracted to eat, Qu Wei immediately rushed to the residence to find Qi Yue, only to be assigned tasks upon entering.

Qi Yue handed him a pile of manuals and design plans, instructing him to have them made just as described.

Most of these craftsmen were stonemasons, who could even repair The Great Wall, let alone construct a sturdy building.

With the enhancement of advanced building materials like concrete, high-strength bullet-proof glass, and stone bricks, a warehouse capable of preventing any attack emerged.

And this day was precisely the fifth day Qi Yue had promised her clients to exchange silver.

Early on the sixth day, Qi Yue, already prepared, arrived early at the entrance of Rishengchang to greet the carriages transporting the silver taels.

As one box after another full of silver was unloaded from the horse-drawn carriages, the onlookers began to grow restless.

“My goodness, how much silver is that?”

“Exactly, Rishengchang is truly capable! Now, our silver has a place to go!”

“Indeed, I heard they built something called a fortress, it's both sturdy and bright, specifically for storing silver!”

“Miss Yue truly is exceptionally capable!”

“You know what? I heard that Rishengchang originally had nothing to do with Miss Yue; there's someone even more powerful behind it!”

“Who is it?”

“Our genius War God! I heard Rishengchang was a wedding gift from Young Marquis Zhao to Miss Yue.”

“Ah, they are getting married!?”

“The point isn't the marriage; it's the gift! Rishengchang, such a huge force, and the Marquis is just giving it away?”

“Exactly, they are family after all, it's just a matter of transferring from one hand to the other.”

“Exactly, what's Rishengchang compared to the Marquis? Didn't he break through Yulin Pass last time and trample over the people from Donggao just for Miss Yue?”

“Exactly, but it seems a bit off now; with the current situation, the Marquis holding onto Yecheng and not returning, isn't that a bit…”

“Hush, don't talk nonsense about this! We are just common folk, if we can live peacefully, that's enough.”

“Yes, I actually hope the government of Longnan County would change.”

“Me too, with the Divine Doctor and the Marquis protecting our Longnan, the future days will be easier!”

The conversation of the crowd gradually faded and began to veer into a strange direction.

Suddenly, two soldiers carrying silver stumbled, and a continuous clattering sound arose as a large box of silver ingots tumbled to the ground.

This commotion startled everyone, and the topic returned to the exchange of silver.

“Forget about that, are you going to exchange your silver?”

“Exchange my foot, didn't you see that shiny fortress? Keeping the silver there is safer!”

“Then I'm not exchanging either.”

“Same here, I better hurry home and tell my wife to keep the exchange ticket safe.”

“Exactly, in this situation, anyone who exchanges is a fool!”

“I only have one hundred silver taels, I wasn't planning to exchange anyway. After all, Miss Yue is a Divine Doctor; what if there's an epidemic…”

“Cut it out, the day they called for the exchange of silver, you were the most eager!”

Clients watched with great enthusiasm as carriage after carriage transported countless silver taels, their minds already numbed, losing any interest in exchanging.

The next day at dawn, Qi Yue instructed her staff to post a notice, informing the clients that the silver was ready for exchange.

Surprisingly, though many people showed up, not a single one came to exchange their silver.

Not only that, some people were holding Silver and wanted to deposit it in Rishengchang!

The staff at Rishengchang, originally set for a few hectic days, all breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone had just one thing to say–our master is simply incredible!

When the news reached Qi Yue, she was not surprised at all.

This was exactly the outcome she had wanted to see.

Telling the clients to exchange their notes for Silver in six days was just a delaying tactic; she never actually wanted the clients to come and exchange Silver.

Of course, it was not that she didn't have any Silver; she just felt it was unnecessary.

With such a large amount of Silver and accounts, how many people and how much time would it take to exchange it all?

Too troublesome.

Her goal was only to let the clients see Rishengchang's strength and dissuade them from their desire to exchange.

That's why she urged Qu Wei to quickly construct a warehouse and made arrangements to deliberately transport the previously collected Silver back to Rishengchang in front of everyone the day before the exchange.

This move not only dissuaded the clients from exchanging but also ingrained Rishengchang's strength deeper into people's hearts.

It could be called a full harvest!

The only dissatisfied person was Zhao Xiyan!

It was currently the afternoon, and the early winter sunshine was warm.

In the pavilion in the backyard, the sun-drenched eaves were surrounded by several Longnan Region's indigenous Four-season Begonias.

Even in winter, this place, cold as it was, remained vibrantly green, which Qi Yue especially liked.

“I am asking you, why won't you let me make a public appearance?”

Zhao Xiyan was sitting opposite Qi Yue, his eyes fixed on the teacup in front of him, yet he spoke with irritation.

Qi Yue topped up his freshly brewed tea, her eyes smiling as she regarded the man's face.

“Zhao Xiyan, your skin is really tender. Have you been secretly using my face oil?”

Zhao Xiyan glared at her with his beautiful eyes, “Isn't it you who smeared it all over my face?”

As soon as the morning's incident was mentioned, Qi Yue couldn't hold back her laughter.

Originally, Zhao Xiyan wanted to make a joint appearance with her, in a sort of declaration to the world.

But Qi Yue felt the time was not right and deliberately sent him off to the bathhouse while she went alone to Rishengchang.

This guy got angry when she returned.

“You are still laughing? If you don't give me a reason today, I will…” Zhao Xiyan was intently staring at her, when he suddenly choked on his words.

“What are you going to do? Just say it,” Qi Yue laughed, “How do you plan to deal with me?”

Zhao Xiyan suddenly leaned forward, reached across the tea table, and grabbed her hand.

“Qi Yue, let's find a time and settle the matter!”

“What?” Qi Yue was momentarily taken aback, “Settle what matter?”

“What else? You are going to marry me, and I will marry no one but you.”

“Pfft…”

If her hands weren't held by Zhao Xiyan, Qi Yue really wanted to check if he was feverish.

“Zhao Xiyan, you can't be serious, can you?”

“Do I look like I'm lying?”

Qi Yue carefully observed the man in front of her and noticed his earnest gaze and expectant demeanor; clearly, he had given serious thought to the matter, making her unexpectedly a bit panicked.

Although she was flippant with words, she was still nervous about making a move.

“You…I…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Zhao Xiyan bowed his head and eagerly kissed her hand.

“Yueyue, the current situation is so uncertain, and who knows how long it will be before peace arrives. I fear… I truly fear… I'm scared that one day I'll wake up and suddenly not be able to see you anymore.”
