Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers Chapter 402

Chapter 402: Chapter 402: Each has a different appearance, but the fat ones are very consistent. Chapter 402: Chapter 402: Each has a different appearance, but the fat ones are very consistent. The round-faced fatty immediately followed up with a question, “What did you hear?”

The skinny man chuckled with a hehe.

“The profound parts, naturally I couldn't understand, but I did hear one sentence, 'Nanyue needs such effective ready-made medicines.' Besides, the Liu Family is only after wealth; as long as they don't have any involvement with Miss Qi Yue, what is there to fear…”

This was indeed not difficult to comprehend.

Nowadays, medicines are herbal decoctions, which are not only inconvenient to carry, but also delay matters when things are urgent.

Especially her White Injury Medicine, anyone with a bleeding wound just needs a sprinkle and it immediately stops the blood flow, healing small cuts within the day!

Such a medicine must be what the Nanyue Army has longed for!

However, when doing business with the Liu Family, she had no intention of offering them such a medicine.

If the Liu Family managed to obtain a large supply of wound medicine for the Nanyue Army, the Nanyue Court would probably regard the Liu Family as great benefactors!

Qi Yue glanced meaningfully at the skinny man.

Among the three, he spoke the least, but every word hit home.

The old saying goes well, those who speak little are hiding much in their hearts.

If she really did accompany these three to Nanyue, she might need to pay more attention to this skinny man.

The round-faced fatty was eager to facilitate the deal, hoping to demonstrate his competence in front of his own aunt, and upon hearing the conversation, he smiled with a hehe.

“Indeed, after all, the lady and us are all but merchants; what is there to worry about for businessmen doing business!”

Qi Yue narrowed her eyes and chuckled as well.

“Exactly, just doing business!”

The group promptly agreed on a rough timeline for returning to Nanyue and dispersed.

No sooner had Qi Yue returned to her own courtyard when Zhao Chong also came in.

“Master, the Marquis's letter has arrived.”

As he spoke, he bowed and presented a sealed small bamboo tube.

Qi Yue applied a little force with her fingertips and pinched open one end of the bamboo tube, fetching a folded letter from inside.

As expected, this was not any kind of secret correspondence.

[Yueyue, upon reading these words, you should understand my yearning for you… Don't do anything tonight; I have already hastened Qingzhu over, the Western Chu Imperial Palace is profound and vast, and he can lend you a hand.]
The corners of Qi Yue's lips uncontrollably curled up.

After all, he was her own man.

She had just left, and he had already sent out the letter?

This affection, truly one could feel the warmth through the paper!

Given the speed of a hot air balloon, it indeed could arrive at this time!

But who was this Qingzhu?

She had never heard Zhao Xiyan mention him!

Zhao Xiyan was indeed, obviously not trusting her abilities!

This distance, and he goes to the trouble of sending someone over – was he that anxious?

She had been planning to take a stroll in the Western Chu Imperial Palace tonight!

Engrossed in her thoughts, she saw Zhao Chong gazing eagerly at the letter in her hand.

“Master, does the Marquis's letter mention anything?”

Qi Yue hooked her lips and handed over the letter.

“Take a look for yourself!”

Zhao Chong intended to say that it was a letter for her from the Marquis, he just wanted to know if there was anything to be alert about; since Qi Yue had not taken any maids with her when she left, he had to be more concerned.

As the thought turned in his mind, and he felt the letter touch his fingertips, Zhao Chong took it.

Upon reading, Zhao Chong felt somewhat abashed and quickly placed the letter back on the table.

It was really hard for him to imagine that the usually cold and detached Zhao Xiyan, in private, could actually be so… affectionate?

No, it must only be when facing Qi Yue that the Marquis could be like this!

Qi Yue did not pay much attention to Zhao Chong's discomfort; she just wanted to know who exactly Qingzhu was.

“To answer the Marquis, Qingzhu is trustworthy; he is the Marquis's body double. During those years when the Marquis was not his own master, it was Qingzhu who managed Rishengchang and the black market in his stead, extremely loyal.”

“Oh,” Qi Yue nodded in understanding.

Zhao Chong spoke of being helpless, likely referring to those three paralyzed years.

“So, Qingzhu's martial arts are very powerful?”

“Almost indistinguishable from the Marquis!”

Hearing this, Qi Yue blinked.

Hehe, with such a master, the visit to the Western Chu Imperial Palace is bound to be foolproof!

That very night, Qi Yue had a good sleep, got up early the next day to practice her knife as usual, dealt with some messages that were delivered, and then busied herself in her space for a while.

In the afternoon, she felt that staying in the inn was rather dull. Just as she was about to go out for a walk, she heard Zhao Tai report that the bearded fellows and the other two wanted to have a good look around Yindu City and asked if Qi Yue would like to accompany them.

Qi Yue agreed without a second thought.

It was good to walk with these men, the perfect cover for her tracks.

Who would have thought that she, the grand Miss Qi, would be walking alongside merchant guards from Nanyue?

Soon the group reached the bustling streets of Yindu.

Like the day before, today's street was still extremely lively.

The most congested spots were, without doubt, the stalls and shops on either side of the street.

All sorts of goods and merchandise were arrayed one next to the other, truly a feast for the eyes.

Yindu, being in the west, had many fine things from the ethnic minorities of the Western Regions.

Qi Yue was fascinated by the novelty and casually pointed here and there, picking out quite a few items.

Zhao Chong and Zhao Tai followed her, one carrying items, the other paying, both kept very happily busy.

After yesterday's heart-to-heart talk, the bearded fellows and the other two had come to see Qi Yue as a partner.

Seeing Qi Yue's straightforward and generous nature, they grew quite fond of her, and a warm feeling sprang up in their hearts.

All the way, they jollily followed, taking on the role of bodyguards.

Having been free since their arrival in Yindu the day before and after handing over their goods, this was the perfect time for a leisurely stroll.

The group walked together in high spirits, truly resembling a bunch of guards protecting their own young lady, harmonious in appearance.

Qi Yue's generosity clearly caught the attention of the shop owners.

Though the street was lively, those with real purchasing power were few.

Especially someone like Qi Yue, who paid with gold leaves on all her purchases.

Under the enthusiastic sales pitches of the merchants, she had already bought quite a bit even though she had only browsed half of the street.

Not only were Zhao Chong and Zhao Tai's hands full, the bearded fellows and the other two also each carried a large pile of items.

Just then, a large crowd suddenly surged through the street, all heading towards the city gates, talking about going to see some excitement.

At the mention of excitement, Qi Yue's spirits lifted.

In her past life, she was too busy to go out, and since her arrival here, she had been occupied with other matters, so she rarely had the chance to wander the streets with no particular purpose.

Qi Yue quickly called Zhao Tai to fetch a carriage, instructing him to take the items back to the inn first, and headed towards the city gates with Zhao Chong.

The bearded fellows and the others, who also loved a good crowd, naturally followed.

The group of five followed the throng of people and quickly arrived at the southern city gates.

There, without needing to ask, they simply listened carefully to discern what was happening.

“Have you heard? I heard Princess Xiyang caught Miss Qi!”

“Isn't that right? They are identifying her right now!”

“I just looked in the front, there are seven or eight fatties!”

“If you ask me, Miss Qi is definitely not amongst those people, they just don't look right!”

At these words, Qi Yue could no longer restrain herself and hurriedly pushed through to the front.

Seeing Qi Yue move forward, Zhao Chong also hastily followed suit.

When the two reached the front, they indeed saw several uniformly plump individuals standing in the clearing.

It had to be said, these people had different faces, but their chubbiness was very consistent.

Each looked to be over 200 pounds, indeed resembling her size when she first arrived.

Qi Yue couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth.

No one knew better than Qin Lingwei what she looked like.

What was the purpose of this now?
