Rebirth of the Exclusive Herbalist

As soon as the Hundred Flowers Banquet was over, Su Qingqi left the princess’s mansion with her elder sister and others. However, they encountered a gorgeous carriage blocking the road at the gate of the princess’s mansion.

The window screen in the carriage was opened, and a beautiful woman of about sixteen or seventeen looked at them with a sneer.

“Su Qingwan, I didn’t expect you to be so lucky that you could survive after being infected with the blood-sucking insect!”

When Su Qingwan saw the person in front of her, her eyes darkened, and her tone became indifferent.

“Yes, I’m sorry to disappoint Princess Yaru!”

“You vicious woman, no wonder my eldest brother doesn’t like you!” Princess Xinrou took Su Qingwan’s arm, raised her little head proudly, and glared at the beautiful woman fiercely.

There was such a huge amount of information. Su Qingqi, who was lowering her head behind him, complained silently. However, when she thought of her brother-in-law’s handsome face, it was normal to have bad peach blossoms.

But this one looks like a poisonous peach blossom.

“Hmph, for the sake of Brother Xiran, I won’t bother with you!” The beautiful woman, Princess Yaru, changed her expression and snorted coldly. She ridiculed Su Qingwan because the eldest princess didn’t like the eldest grandson’s wife very much, so why did Xinrou, such a hateful woman, get involved.

Aristocratic families generally would not allow their eldest son to be born out of wedlock at will. Concubines would all take contraceptive soup, and if a concubine was found to have broken the rules, she would be given medicine to induce abortion.

But no one would like Su Qingwan, the legal wife, who has not been pregnant for three years. It is estimated that in another two or three years if the legal wife still has no children, the concubine will stop using the contraceptive soup.

It was bad news for Su Qingwan, but great news for Princess Yaru.

Princess Yaru now understands that she will only have a chance after the other two daughters of the Su family are married and Su Qingwan is gone. Otherwise, the wife of the Marquis of Wuchang can only be a daughter of the Su family.

No matter how much you do, it will be useless.

It’s just two or three years; she can wait.

Princess Xinrou sneered: “A princess like you actually uses all means to covet someone else’s husband. You are not afraid of being embarrassed.”

“How good are you? It’s because my elder brother doesn’t like you.” Princess Yaru felt hurt, became angry, and sarcastically said.

Princess Xinrou was about to explode when she heard this.

Seeing that the two princesses who were at odds were about to quarrel in front of the princess’s mansion, Su Qingwan quickly grabbed Princess Xinrou and criticized Princess Yaru: “Xinrou, don’t bother with her, or you will lower your own quality.”

“Sister-in-law is right.” Princess Xinrou smiled happily when she saw her sister-in-law speaking for her and turned her head away proudly.

Princess Yaru was so angry that her pretty face turned red. She was about to scold Su Qingwan, but the nanny beside her pulled her clothes and pointed at the golden plaque at the door and the noble ladies who had not left.

Princess Yaru was startled and almost made a fool of herself. She glared at her two mortal enemies fiercely, glanced at the two women behind Su Qingwan, and sneered secretly. One of them has been favored by Marquis Chu and has no choice but to marry into the Huaining Marquis Mansion and will be dead in two years; as for the other, more outstanding Su Qinghan, perhaps she can make good use of her.

When Su Qinghan saw Princess Yaru’s eyes on her, she was delighted, knowing that her chance had come.

There was no point in talking to each other. Su Qingwan, Princess Xinrou, and Princess Yaru were fed up with each other. However, they were also concerned about being in front of the princess’s mansion, so in the end, they just said a few sarcastic words to each other and got in their carriages and left.

As soon as the group returned to Wuchang Marquis’ Mansion, they were called over by the Marquis’s wife. After a few words of gossip, they returned to their respective courtyards. Su Qingqi, who returned to the Marquis’ Mansion, was very happy to think that she would be able to move into the large manor in the suburbs of Beijing in a few days. Her eyebrows and eyes were full of joy, but this joy made Su Qingwan more worried.

So after Su Qingwan sent her second sister Su Qinghan away, she held the hand of her third sister Su Qingqi and took her to the bedroom to talk.

After Mingyu served them tea, she left with Minglan and the others.

Su Qingwan smiled gently and tried to test her third sister’s opinion of Marquis Huaining: “Third sister, what do you think of Marquis Huaining?”

Su Qingqi was stunned. Although Lord Chu’s image as a male god had collapsed, it was undeniable that he was a man of extraordinary talent, outstanding military exploits, and loyalty to his country.

So she expressed her impression of Lord Chu very pertinently.

“Marquis Huaining is an admirable man.”

Hearing this, Su Qingwan’s heart sank.

No, the Third Sister was her savior; she couldn’t just watch her die.

At this moment, Prince Zhao Xiran came in and heard these words by coincidence. He smiled and said, “Marquis Huaining is indeed admirable.”

“Brother-in-law, how are you!” Su Qingqi stood up and bowed slightly when she saw Zhao Xiran’s brother-in-law coming in.

“Please sit down; we are all family; there is no need to be so polite.” Zhao Xiran smiled gently, feeling helpless about the thoughtful manners of Wan’er’s sister.

Su Qingqi sat down as she was told.

Zhao Xiran sat next to Su Qingwan, who skillfully brewed tea for her husband.

Zhao Xiran picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and asked with a smile: “Wan’er, why did the third sister suddenly mention Huaining Hou?”

Su Qingwan glanced at her third sister and told her about the interaction between Marquis Chu and her third sister at the Hundred Flowers Banquet. After she finished speaking, a trace of worry appeared on her beautiful face.

“So, Marquis Huaining has taken a fancy to your third sister?” Zhao Xiran raised his eyebrows in surprise. As far as he knew, Marquis Huaining was not interested in women and did not even have a maid. He was surrounded by men. These children from aristocratic families thought he was a homosexual.

He looked at the third sister carefully and found nothing special about her. There were many women like her in noble families. Could it be that he knew that the third sister could make medicinal soup?

So he could only think that Marquis Huaining had a special vision.

“Yeah…” Su Qingwan was so worried. “Xiran, do you think there is any other way to solve this problem? Huaining Marquis only has two years to live. If my third sister marries him, won’t she be a widow?”

“If no one dared to compete with Marquis Huaining for the girl, we could help our third sister find a young talent to marry!” Zhao Xiran sighed.

“That’s right!” Su Qingwan’s pretty face fell, looking frustrated. “Oh, Xiran, why did the Marquis Huaining take a fancy to my third sister?”

The couple was too young and didn’t even know that the Chu family had a cruel and deceptive ancestral motto. Otherwise, they would probably be frightened and tell Su Qingqi to run away quickly. Why would they worry about this and that?

Su Qingqi was touched and guilty at the same time because the two of them cared about her without paying any attention to anyone else. After all, she had gotten the golden thigh of Lord Chu by herself.

“Sister, brother-in-law, you don’t have to be so pessimistic. Maybe I can use the medicine to help Huaining Hou prolong his life.”

Qingwan and Zhao Xiran looked like they were about to faint. The medicine soup prepared by the third sister was very powerful, but Marquis Huaining was suffering from a terminal illness, which was congenital.

“Why don’t I ask my grandmother tonight.” Zhao Xiran couldn’t bear to see his wife worry, so he thought of his grandmother, the Grand Princess.

Su Qingwan’s eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly.

Su Qingqi almost fainted. She was just a nobody; why did she have to involve the eldest princess? Lord Chu hadn’t even taken any action yet, but her elder sister was already getting angry, so she made up her mind and lied against her will.

“No need for that, big sister! I…I like Marquis Huaining; I want to marry him!”
