Rebirth of the Exclusive Herbalist

Apart from his short life and lack of offspring, others praised Marquis Huaining in various ways, such as gentle and elegant, brilliant, extremely intelligent, etc., and all kinds of halos were given to him.

But these are all on the surface. Only those who are close to him know how terrifying this gentleman is. Not only is he cold-hearted, but he also has a strong and crazy possessiveness.

Chu Yi glanced at the charming marquis with a dazzling smile and the woman with a happy face and silently lit a candle for her.

This, Miss Su, is too naive. Once you enter the Chu family, don’t even think about leaving. If you want to leave, there is only one way: death! If you cheat on the Chu family, you will be killed and thrown into a mass grave!

Of course, if Miss Su deceived the Marquis, she would be buried with him in two years!

“My Lord, do you really, really agree?” Su Qingqi was dizzy. Wasn’t Lord Chu too easy to talk to?

“Yes! As long as your ability is real!” Lord Chu smiled gently, hiding the madness in his eyes.

“Your name is Su Qingqi, right? Push me back to the garden.”

Lord Chu got into the mood quickly and ordered Su Qingqi around very naturally.

Su Qingqi’s eyes widened: “…” What a bummer, Lord Chu; we have just reached an agreement, right?

“Hmm?” Lord Chu glanced at her sideways, and his deliberately lowered voice was particularly magnetic and pleasant to hear!

The voice was so nice that it made my ears pregnant. Su Qingqi’s eyes lit up, and her heart skipped a beat. She spinelessly took over Chu Yi’s job.

Chu Yi: Poor Miss Su!

When Su Qingqi pushed the wheelchair back in small steps, everyone at the Hundred Flowers Banquet widened their eyes, and all their sharp, cold, curious, mocking, or pitying gazes were focused on Su Qingqi.

“Sister, isn’t that our third sister? Why is she with Marquis Huaining?” Su Qinghan was shocked. Would the third sister be so stupid as to fall in love at first sight with Marquis Huaining?

When Marquis Huaining became famous at the age of fifteen, countless noble ladies admired and were obsessed with him. Unfortunately, nothing happened in the end, and no one knew the reason.

But Su Qinghan knew.

In addition to the fact that Marquis Huaining would die young and have no descendants, the Chu family also had a strange ancestral precept that women who married into the Chu family were not allowed to leave the family for the rest of their lives, and childless wives and concubines had to be buried with their husbands after their deaths!

This ancestral precept is cruel and deceptive!

Especially since Marquis Huaining will die so young and have no descendants, which noble lady with good character and appearance would dare to marry him?

This is not the way to seek death!

Besides, the position of the wife of the Marquis of Huaining is not something that anyone can take! If you want to be the wife of the Marquis, you have to see if the Marquis Chu is willing.

Therefore, when the Marquis Chu dies, he will be all alone and without any worries, and the Chu family will be left without descendants!

To be honest, if Lord Chu didn’t have the incurable problem of being childless, how could she let go of such an excellent man?

Su Qingwan smiled faintly: “Maybe they met on the road.” But her eyes became serious.

Su Qinghan remained silent, but everyone’s eyes were sharp!

“How does it feel to be the center of attention for the first time?” Lord Chu asked leisurely; his lips curled slightly.

“It’s almost roasted!” Su Qingqi replied sullenly. She could swear that Marquis Chu did it on purpose!

Lord Chu was amused and chuckled.

The most touching thing is that smile with her head down, with thousands of charms around her brows.

All the men and women at the Hundred Flowers Banquet were stunned by Lord Chu’s smile!

Su Qingqi suddenly found that Lord Chu was too sharming. This charm had nothing to do with his appearance but rather with his special demeanor and grace. After all, there were men present who were more handsome than Lord Chu, more masculine than Lord Chu, and more gentle than Lord Chu, not to mention that her eldest brother-in-law, Prince Zhao Xiran, was a rare handsome man.

She felt a little regretful and asked weakly, “My Lord, can I change the conditions?”

Lord Chu looked particularly upright and serious: “A gentleman’s word is as good as gold.” But in his heart, he was thinking that she was almost his, and he still wanted to run away? No way!

Su Qingqi suddenly felt very ashamed. Wait, why was she ashamed?

At this time, Princess Changning came down from the high platform with her maids and servants.

Everyone around bowed and saluted. Fortunately, they didn’t have to perform the national ceremony; otherwise, it would have been so spectacular to have a row of people kneeling down, kowtowing, and shouting “Long Live the Princess.”.

Su Qingqi was among them. After the ceremony, she had the rare opportunity to see Princess Changning up close. She couldn’t help but take a sneak peek: Princess Changning, dressed in a royal blue palace gown with floral patterns, looked very kind and probably in her thirties. However, the subtle silver threads in her hair revealed that she was not young anymore.

Princess Changning carefully looked at Su Qingqi, standing behind Lord Chu. She looked good, not a coquettish type, and not spoiled either. So she nodded slightly and asked, “Tao’er, is this the girl you like?”

Lord Chu raised the corner of his mouth: “Hmm!”

Su Qingqi was about to cry. The transaction that she had originally planned to conduct privately was pushed into the spotlight by the golden thigh she had just embraced. The annoying thing was that this golden thigh seemed to want to announce it to the world.

“What’s your name? Which family are you from?” Princess Changning didn’t care much about his attitude and looked at Su Qingqi kindly.

Su Qingqi, who was extremely miserable, bowed and replied respectfully: “In reply to the princess: Your servant Su Qingqi, the governor of Jiangnan, Su Yuanhong, is my father.”

Princess Changning raised her eyebrows slightly, glanced at the dignified Su Qingwan and the calm and confident Su Qinghan not far away, and said meaningfully: “So she is Governor Su’s daughter!”

“I don’t think I’ve seen you show off your talents. What are you good at?”

Su Qingqi lowered her head and replied docilely: “I am not particularly good at anything, so I dare not go up and show off my ugliness.”

Obviously, it was the truth, but because of the examples of Su Qingwan and Su Qinghan, the noble ladies and some young talents did not look down on Su Qingqi. They thought that a daughter raised by the Su family should be extraordinary. Instead, they thought she was too modest to tell the truth.

Even Princess Changning thought so.

So Su Qingqi didn’t know that she had been ‘received as a talented woman’.

Princess Changning smiled slightly, turned to Lord Chu, and said teasingly: “So Tao’er likes this type!”

The corner of Su Qingqi’s mouth twitched, pretending to be a wallflower.

Lord Chu, who was in a very good mood, glanced at Su Qingqi and said slowly, “A woman’s virtue lies in her lack of talent. She suits my taste very well.” After that, he ignored Princess Changning, who was choking, and continued, “The Hundred Flowers Banquet is not over yet, so I won’t waste your time.”

Finally, he turned to Su Qingqi again, smiling gently and dotingly: “Be good; wait for me!”

“Chu Yi, let’s go back.”

Chu Yi respectfully stepped forward and pushed Lord Chu away.

Leaving behind a mess of spring water!

Su Qingqi kept thinking, “A woman’s virtue lies in her lack of talent. She suits my taste very well.” The image of him as a male god collapsed in her mind.

This is too much. He even indirectly said that she was uneducated.

Facing strange looks from all directions, Su Qingqi felt under great pressure. She apologized to Princess Changning and returned to Su Qingwan.

The Hundred Flowers Banquet continued. Su Qingqi did not have any aura of being the protagonist. When those young talents learned that she was the daughter of Jiangnan Governor Su Yuanhong, they just said it was a pity, and that was all.

Even princes and emperors would not touch the person that Lord Chu likes, let alone them.

Doesn’t the Su family have another outstanding person, Su Qinghan?

“Third sister, aren’t you going to pee? Why are you here with Marquis Chu?” The second sister, Su Qinghan, asked impatiently in a low voice.

The two concubines of Lord Zhao secretly pricked up their ears, while Princess Xinrou looked at Su Qingqi as if she were a fool.

“We met halfway.” Su Qingqi replied softly. As for how they came back together, she gave a vague answer.

She didn’t notice the worry on Su Qingwan’s face.

Su Qinghan really wanted to laugh out loud. Having had her third sister return to the Su Mansion three years earlier and not having any adventures, her fate was heading towards death.

No matter how the third sister hooks up with Lord Chu, she will not be able to escape from Lord Chu’s clutches in the end.

What a pity—two years later, the third sister was only seventeen!

Su Qinghan looked at Su Qingqi with a hint of pity in his eyes.

At this moment, Su Qingqi was thinking about how to go back on the deal.

Lord Chu, who had just left the princess’s mansion not long ago, suddenly sneezed. He touched his straight nose, and there was a hint of a smile and pampering in his voice.

“I just left, and the little girl is already missing me!”

Chu Yi: “…”
