Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers Chapter 452

Chapter 452: Chapter 453 Too Weird! Chapter 452: Chapter 453 Too Weird! After parting with Wei Renshan, Qi Yue hurried back to the Liu Residence.

As soon as she entered, she received messages from various sources.

Her worries had come true.

It was confirmed that the bandits and bullies who had entered Fengdu included not only Ma Lao San but also the one-eyed bandit, Wolf Nine.

This was a ruthless character.

If Ma Lao San was likened to a wolf, then this Wolf Nine was a hyena, insatiable and cruel.

He started as an assassin and because he broke the rules of the underworld, someone blinded one of his eyes; he then became a bandit, known as the One-eyed.

It was said that seven years ago, he alone broke into a local rich family's home, wiped them out, and looted everything.

The local government was afraid of being retaliated against by Wolf Nine, so they also dared not interfere.

“How dare this kind of person also come to Fengdu to join in the hustle and bustle?!” Qi Yue frowned tightly as she looked at the intelligence in her hands.

Although she was not from Nanyue and the welfare of the Nanyue people did not concern her greatly,
this incident had developed to this point because of her, and moreover, the people were innocent; they had no choice but to passively endure.

Seeing that Qi Yue's expression was off, Qingzhu quickly started to explain.

“My Lady need not blame herself; the Black Feather Guard has already made it clear that Wolf Nine has come to Fengdu for personal reasons.”

“What reason?”

“It's said to be for revenge, the specific target is still being investigated.”

“…” Qi Yue's eyelids twitched, “Do you think it's possible that his target for revenge could be Ma Lao San?”

Qingzhu blinked, “It's possible, one a bandit, the other a thief, it's easy for them to become enemies.”

Qi Yue drew the corners of her lips into a tight line and fell silent before suddenly getting up to leave.

Qingzhu, scratching his head, thought for a moment before finally understanding.

If Wolf Nine had truly come for Ma Lao San, wouldn't that still be related to their own Lady's actions?

The quick-witted Qingzhu hurried after her, carefully saying a few words.

“My Lady, hasn't it yet to be confirmed? Perhaps the two of them don't have any grudge at all?”

Then he thought again and felt that something was off.

If there was no grudge, wouldn't the rumors become reality, and these two great villains would end up directly colluding together?!

Realizing that the more he said, the more mistakes he could make, Qingzhu immediately shut his mouth!

Seeing that Qi Yue was heading towards the back garden, he couldn't help but ask another question.

“My Lady, where are we going now?”

“To the Pine and Bamboo Court.”

Qi Yue had originally planned to go to the Bamboo Garden, but when Zhao Xiyan left, he had repeatedly urged her not to contact Huangfu Nan.

Although the man didn't specify the reason, she still had great trust in her man.

Moreover, after Zhao Xiyan had visited the Bamboo Garden, he came back somewhat strange, which made her more cautious.

The reason was simple!

Why would Huangfu Nan, a man who had been in seclusion for over a hundred years, suddenly appear at this time?

To go into seclusion is one thing, but to do so in the home of an Imperial Court Chief of Staff?

Upon deeper analysis, given Huangfu Nan's past accomplishments of founding Rishengchang and the Black Feather Guard, as well as elevating the downtrodden Liu Family to today's status, if one were to say that he had no desires or gain, and was just happy to help others, she wouldn't believe it for a second.

Her intuition told her that someone was behind the current events, stirring the waters, and that person was Huangfu Nan.

But of course, it wasn't appropriate to confront Huangfu Nan directly.

Firstly, Zhao Xiyan had given her instructions.

Secondly, Qi Yue was also afraid.

Huangfu Nan, being over a hundred years old and having seen more of life than she had had meals, genuinely made her worry that he might see through something.

Lacking a better option, she could only go to Liu Zhinan instead.

What's more, Wei Renshan had said that once the plan of trapping the enemy was proposed, Liu Zhinan was strongly in favor, a change from his usual equivocal and indecisive responses.

In Qi Yue's view, this was Liu Zhinan carrying out Huangfu Nan's plan.

Lost in thought, she found herself arriving at the Pine and Bamboo Court.

Just as she approached the entrance, she saw the Liu family steward coming out. Upon seeing her, he immediately plastered a warm smile on his face.

“Master has arrived, the old master was just saying you might be coming!”

With that, he ushered her through the gate.

As usual, Qingzhu was left outside, fuming and helplessly staring.

The Pine and Bamboo Court lived up to its name; on both sides of the path leading to the study were low-lying pines, cypresses, and bamboo.

However, these pines, cypresses, and bamboos seemed to be deliberately cultivated varieties, small in stature and more ornamental in value.

Qi Yue followed the steward's lead and made her way into the study.

After serving the tea, the steward quickly excused himself.

Inside the vast study, only two people remained.

Qi Yue suddenly realized that coming here so recklessly was not going to get her any answers.

If this matter was indeed related to Huangfu Nan, Liu Zhinan would probably not reveal anything.

Moreover, she still hadn't figured out why Liu Zhinan initially allowed her to read the “Brief Account of Qiongzhou Continent” and why he arranged their meeting in the Bamboo Garden.

Could it really be as Zhao Xiyan said, that Huangfu Nan just wanted to see her?

Too strange!

And she was completely clueless about it.

Sure enough, when Qi Yue merely mentioned it, Liu Zhinan immediately waved his hands in denial.

“Yueyue, ah, your uncle has always been like this, you know, not grunting or groaning or attending court. About those bandits, uncle just thought it'd be proper to deal with them sooner, so I just nodded a bit more decisively! What, you've heard about this too? Are you interested in those bandits? Let me tell you, Yueyue, there are deep waters involved here, it's not something for you to worry about. Even your uncle, I, am keeping a respectful distance.”

When he said this, Liu Zhinan's expression was normal, his voice neither high nor low, with no trace of pretense.

His demeanor was exactly that of an uncle showing the appropriate concern and care for his niece!

Qi Yue was stunned.

The doubts that had surfaced in her mind were once again suppressed!

If it really was as she suspected, that Huangfu Nan was covertly assisting her and Liu Zhinan was adding fuel to the fire, wouldn't they know what she was planning to do?

Wouldn't this mean they knew about her space?

That's impossible!

Even Zhao Xiyan, who spent every day with her, took a long time to truly accept and believe in the space once he learned of it unexpectedly.

Others, presumably, wouldn't even dare to imagine it!

With these thoughts, Qi Yue hurriedly shook her head.

“Uncle speaks wisely. I just pity those common folks; how can they endure such an undeserved disaster?”

“Yueyue is indeed compassionate, just like your mother,” Liu Zhinan praised as he stroked his beard, “But such matters are surely arranged by the Fengdu Imperial City Division, and Yueyue can rest easy.”

Qi Yue tugged at the corner of her lips.

Bringing up her mother again?

How would this nominal uncle know her mother was compassionate from meeting her once?

But the words of Liu Zhinan were not incorrect.

If the Nanyue Court already sanctioned the bandits' entry into the city, perhaps she had no need to worry.

The proper course of action was to take advantage of the chaos, and do everything that needed to be done.

In the end, couldn't she just wipe out those bandits and thieves herself, to prevent them from hurting more people?

“Uncle is truly experienced; Yueyue is indeed a worrywart.”

Having said that, she stood up intending to take her leave.

Unexpectedly, Liu Zhinan kept her with a mysteriously serious tone.

“Yueyue, don't go yet; your uncle has other important matters to discuss with you.”
