Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers

Chapter 47: Chapter 47 “Ignorant, you deserve not to eat the chocolate.

In the teahouse, across from Qi Fengzhang indeed sat a man in green clothes.

The man’s attire was ordinary, with no distinctive features, and Qi Yue did not recognize him.

She pretended to look for a seat and sat down behind the man, pricking up her ears to listen.

“Surname Qi, what’s the matter with you? I gave you a silver note of over a hundred thousand taels, and you haven’t brought any useful thing.”

“… That Qian is actually a bad person… there’s still a chance…”

“This time I can only give you a thousand, will give more silver once you have something.”

After some rustling, Qi Fengzhang’s voice hurriedly said, “This amount of silver is not enough…”

“That’s your problem, if there’s nothing again, then the master will dispose of you!”

“…Sir, I beg you…”

Qi Fengzhang was a bit far away, the listening wasn’t very clear, but Qi Yue generally understood.

The person behind her, though speaking Beiyuan, had a very poor accent, evidently a foreigner.

And the brother of the Great General, Qi Fengzhang, was actually a spy.

But it was unclear what information they were seeking to obtain?

Soon, the man in green left first, and Qi Fengzhang followed.

Qi Yue was concerned about the thousand taels of silver in his arms and followed suit.

Just as she was thinking of a way to get the silver, a tall man walked close to him, with sly and rat-like eyes—clearly a thief!

When she reached out her hand, Qi Yue grabbed his arm in one fell swoop.

“Quite nimble for a little thief?”

The thief tried to pull his hand back and walk away when he got caught, but how could Qi Yue let him go easily?

Despite her small hands, she had a grip like iron pincers, and the thief, unable to shake free, began to feign innocence.

“Young brother, I have an 80-year-old mother above and a one-month-old son below, and I had to resort to this due to dire circumstances. Please have mercy and let me off this once!”

“If you don’t want to go to the Government Office, help me with one thing.”

Qi Yue pointed out Qi Fengzhang, who had walked a distance, to the thief, “He has a silver note of a thousand taels in his bosom. Bring it back, and we’re even. Otherwise…”

She made a gesture of cutting off limbs, and the thief, scared witless, quickly went on his way.

In no time at all, a silver note of a thousand taels was in her hand.

Qi Yue pocketed the silver and watched from a distance as Qi Fengzhang was beaten by the shopkeeper for trying to leave without paying, she smiled and returned to the station.

That night, Qi Fengzhang came back with injuries, and the first thing he did was seek her out for medicine.

“Niece, your uncle has never asked you for anything, has he? Could you help me this time and get me some medicine, please?”

Qi Yue snorted with laughter.

He dared to say he had never asked anything of her?

Wasn’t he just asking her for meat the other day?

She looked up pensively, sizing up Qi Fengzhang, and felt increasingly that the name fit him perfectly.

A rat-faced camphor tree, scheming and double-dealing, just when did he start being a spy?

“Fine, I can give you medicine.”

As soon as he heard there was medicine, Qi Fengzhang grinned with his bloodied mouth.

“That’s my good niece, not in vain am I your good uncle. I surely didn’t misjudge you.”

Qi Yue’s lips curved into a hook, her slowly opening palm revealing a black pill.

“But Uncle, are you sure you want to take this medicine? Aren’t you afraid of being poisoned like Qian Faliang…?”

After losing weight, her features were striking and aggressive, her whole being also exuded a sharp edge.

When she spoke the final note thrust upward, intensifying the threatening tone.

Qi Fengzhang, terrified, scurried off on the spot.

“Qi Yue, you devil, you are not a part of the Qi Family!”

“Wait for it, sooner or later, you’ll understand the consequences of betraying your own family.”

Qi Yue scoffed disdainfully and tossed the black pill into her mouth.

“Ignorant fool, no wonder you don’t get to taste chocolate.”

That very evening, the whole banished convoy knew about her indifference towards her uncle’s life and death, inevitably stirring up more discussion.

Qi Yue acted as if she hadn’t heard a thing.

During dinner, Shen Yu was clearly uneasy, as if she had something to say, but she never did.

Qi Yue guessed that maybe she was worried about the uncertain future of the Zhao Family due to Qi Fengzhang’s matter, concerned that she would eventually leave.

However, she didn’t want to explain herself.

The next day, Qi Yue went to the carpentry shop to pick up the wheelchair at the agreed time, and as soon as she entered, she felt the atmosphere was different from before.

The overly familiar waiter from yesterday seemed at a loss for words when facing her, and his expression was a bit tense.

The shopkeeper was nowhere to be seen.

Remembering that the shopkeeper had told her to go straight to the back hall when she arrived, Qi Yue headed that way.

But just as she was about to reach the door, she heard a loud shout.

“Stop, no unrelated persons may enter or leave the back hall!”

Then a sword stretched out from behind the door, wielded by a lean man with a look of vigilance on his face.

Seeing that Qi Yue was just a young woman, he hesitated for a moment and then put his sword away.

“Please select items inside the shop, don’t come near the back hall!”

Qi Yue frowned and took a deep look into the back hall, raising her voice deliberately.

“I had an appointment with the shopkeeper to pick up my goods. Could you please see if the shopkeeper is inside? It would be kind of you to inform him.”

She had already figured out that this man was a soldier, clearly not one of the carpentry shop’s staff, but she still played dumb.

The lean man furrowed his brow and was about to speak when the shopkeeper ran out from the back hall.

With a smile on his face, he eagerly called out, “Ah, the lady has finally come. Your item is ready!”

The shopkeeper appeared normal, but Qi Yue still felt something was off.

Given the military guard at the door, she concluded that there were others in the back hall.

Nevertheless, she followed the shopkeeper into the back hall to retrieve the wheelchair.

Indeed, from a distance she saw a middle-aged man sitting in the hall, sipping tea.

He was silent with his head bowed, but a natural air of decisiveness emanated from him.

Dressed in a neat black brocade robe, he was clearly a military general at leisure.

In front of him, about five meters away, was the wheelchair, looking exactly like the one she had drawn.

As soon as she saw the wheelchair, Qi Yue’s eyes were instantly drawn to it.

She had only provided a sketch and a few ideas, yet the shopkeeper had managed to figure it all out.

Moreover, the craftsmanship and materials were all up to her standards.

“Miss, please take a look, is this the wheelchair you wanted?”

With the shopkeeper’s question, Qi Yue snapped back to reality.

“Thank you, shopkeeper. It is indeed what I need. I’ll take the item and be on my way.”

As she spoke, Qi Yue began to push the wheelchair away.

While examining the item, she had clearly noticed that the shopkeeper seemed hesitant and troubled.

Considering the whole situation, it wasn’t hard to guess that someone was vying for the same thing.

This tea-drinking man looked like trouble; it was wiser to leave quickly.

“Miss, please wait a moment.”

The shopkeeper rushed up in a panic, blocking her way.

Qi Yue did not show weakness anymore.

She stood tall, her eyebrows raised, and her aura fully unleashed.

“What? Is there still silver to be paid?”

The shopkeeper shook his hands continuously.

“No, that’s not it. We agreed yesterday that the value of the lady’s drawings is immeasurable, and the store not asking for payment is already a great favor. It’s just that…”

Before he could continue, Qi Yue swiftly raised her hand, interrupting him.

“That’s fine, I’m in a hurry to leave, so let’s skip the pleasantries.”

However, the shopkeeper grabbed hold of the wheelchair.

“Miss, the General has claimed your wheelchair!”
