Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers Chapter 354

Chapter 354: Chapter 354 “She Found Out.

During this period, Zhao Xiyan had already selected some people to start learning how to fly a plane.

However, none of them could get the hang of it immediately, since not everyone was as exceptionally gifted as Zhao Xiyan.

So for this trip, Zhao Xiyan was still the one piloting the plane.

Zhao Chong and Zhao Tai just sat by and observed.

As the closest guards to Zhao Xiyan, they needed to quickly master this skill.

Three shichen later, the plane finally landed in a farmland on the outskirts of Longnan County Government.

As they disembarked, they saw Qi Yue wave her hand and the huge plane disappeared before their eyes.

Zhao Chong and Zhao Tai were both greatly shocked.

Like everyone else, they often discussed Qi Yue's extraordinary abilities, and although the origins of those hot air balloons and planes were a mystery, no one dared to ask about them directly!

Now that they were witnessing it firsthand, they didn't even have the courage to look at Qi Yue.

But immediately afterward, Qi Yue waved her hand again and four tall, fine horses appeared before them.

If the horses weren't neighing and stamping their hoofs, the two might have thought they were dreaming!

“Master…this…”

Qi Yue naturally knew what they were thinking and didn't fail to offer an explanation.

“This is a magical artifact given to me by my master. It can hold anything and everything, and these items were all placed inside previously.”

As she spoke, she deliberately patted the small bag on her person.

“We've come so far; if we didn't have horses, it would be very suspicious.”

Zhao Chong and Zhao Tai had no idea Qi Yue would explain such things to them, and were somewhat flustered and scared.

“Yes, madam.”

“Why tell them all this?”

Zhao Xiyan, who was standing nearby, huffed, pulled Qi Yue over, and helped her onto one of the horses.

Zhao Chong and Zhao Tai didn't dare to speak. Seeing Zhao Xiyan mount a horse, they silently clambered onto their steeds as well.

The four of them rode for a mile when the sky was fully lit, and the sun showed half its face.

By the time they reached the city gate, they found it tightly shut with not a person in sight on the tower above.

“Master, shall I call out at the gate?”

Zhao Chong dismounted and was about to go forward when Qi Yue quickly stopped him.

“Here is a Detoxification Pill. You and Zhao Tai each take one, but whether it is of any use or how effective it will be, we will only know once we enter the city, so be careful.”

“Yes, madam.”

Zhao Chong took the pill and, after consuming it with Zhao Tai, was about to call at the gate when suddenly the gate creaked and two heads peeked out.

“May I ask if the people arriving are Marquis Zhao and Miss Qi?”

Zhao Chong took a few steps forward and called out loudly.

“Indeed, they are my master and madam. Quickly open the city gates!”

The two heads withdrew, and soon after, the city gate swung open, with a figure coming forth.

He wore black official robes, a hat, and looked somewhat gaunt.

Wasn't that Chu Yuntian?

Qi Yue's lips curled slightly.

Zhao Xiyan looked at her and whispered softly, “I'm here.”

“Mm.”

Qi Yue nodded.

To be honest, just thinking about how Chu Yuntian could do such heinous deeds while still looking at her kindly, pretending to be a good person, made her not want to see him at all.

The two of them also dismounted as Chu Yuntian approached rapidly.

“Yueyue, my good daughter, you've finally come. Something big has happened in the city.”

His face was full of paternal love, as if Qi Yue truly were his daughter.

Qi Yue unconsciously clenched her fists as the question surged in her heart again:

Why did you want to kill Qi Yunzhang?!

Suddenly, a pair of warm hands reached out, holding her fist and gently intertwining his fingers with hers.

She looked at Zhao Xiyan, but saw him smiling warmly at Chu Yuntian.

“Master Chu, Yueyue and I are already married, so from now on, please call her Madam Zhao!”

Upon hearing this, Chu Yuntian was momentarily stunned, but quickly put on a look of surprise.

“Married?”

“Yes, Master Chu must know that Yueyue and I share deep affection. It's only because of endless trivial matters that we have been delayed until now. I couldn't wait any longer and so we held a simple wedding ceremony. Since my parents are no longer with us, it wasn't appropriate to invite Master Chu.”

“Ah, right. Of course.” Chu Yuntian had come to his senses, though he was still somewhat distracted, struggling to speak fluently.

Qi Yue observed with a cold laugh in her heart.

Is this too much for him?

What would he do when everything comes to light?

It was not until Zhao Xiyan shifted the conversation to the poisoning cases in the city that Chu Yuntian looked at Qi Yue as if seeking an escape.

But when he saw that Qi Yue was also watching him, he immediately averted his gaze and began to describe the situation within the city.

The incident took place at the Hu Residence.

A few days ago, a servant from the Hu Family suddenly rushed to the gate of the residence, claiming to go into town to seek medical treatment because someone was feeling unwell.

It turned out that although Master Chu had ordered the guarding of the Hu Residence, he did not prohibit the servants from going out to buy groceries, nor from disposing of trash and filth from the house.

Naturally, legitimate requests like seeking medical treatment were also accommodated.

The guarding soldiers inquired and then allowed two out.

At that time, these two showed no unusual symptoms; they appeared quite well on the surface.

Who could have expected that half a shichen later, Huang Zai'an suddenly sent someone to the Governor's Office, claiming to have discovered a patient with an unknown illness, and requested Master Chu to immediately conduct a thorough investigation throughout the city.

At the time, Master Chu was not in the office, and he didn't learn of the matter until he returned that evening.

Initially, he didn't pay much attention, until he heard that patients presenting with these strange symptoms were found in all the major pharmacies in the city.

But because the symptoms were neither painful nor itchy, and the doctors could not discern the cause, taking various medications had no effect, so they were largely ignored.

By the time Master Chu learned that Huang Zai'an knew of his return and had come to visit in person, mentioning the issue and suggesting that Qi Yue had asked her to pay attention to it, fearing it was indeed a serious problem, Master Chu began to take it seriously.

At this point, Chu Yuntian glanced at Qi Yue.

At the mention of this, Qi Yue was already fuming with rage.

How had she never noticed before that Master Chu was so verbose?

Couldn't he explain such a simple matter in a few brief words?

If it weren't for the fact that on the surface, Chu Yuntian was in control of Longnan County Government, she would really like to slap him across the face in the street, urging him to speak plainly and get straight to the point.

What she was most concerned about was the arrangement of the patients.

But Master Chu was talking too slowly, and she didn't want to listen to him.

So she tugged at Zhao Xiyan's arm.

“Husband, shall we first visit the Hu Residence to have a look at the situation?”

Zhao Xiyan immediately understood.

“Alright.”

Chu Yuntian also expressed his desire to go with them, but Zhao Xiyan dismissed him with a single sentence.

“Master Chu, since the situation is unclear, you'd better return home and rest. Should there be any matter, I will naturally send someone to inform you.”

After speaking, the two of them directly mounted their horses and left without looking back.

Feng Liang, who had been following them the whole time, had long sensed that something was amiss, and finally couldn't hold back any longer, stepping forward and asking, “Master, what's going on with Miss Qi? Why does she seem like a completely different person?”

“…” Chu Yuntian's face was a blank, his mouth opened and closed, then opened again, and finally he uttered a sentence.

“She knows.”

Feng Liang, utterly confused, pressed on with questions.

“Master, what does she know? Could it be that by marrying Zhao Xiyan, she intends to sever ties with Master, her adoptive father?”

Chu Yuntian shook his head woodenly.

“Feng Liang, you don't understand the situation, so let's not talk about this matter anymore.”

After a pause, he instructed Feng Liang to take over his duties as the Governor, leading people to patrol the city for homeless patients and have them sent to the Hu Residence.

Watching Chu Yuntian's dispirited departure, Feng Liang was filled with even more malicious questions.

He stood there for a while, not following Chu Yuntian's orders to patrol the streets but headed towards the nearby Peony Pavilion.
