Rebirth of the Exclusive Herbalist

Chapter 17 - Interaction



“But the imperial physician said that my eldest sister’s uterine coldness had been cured.” Su Qingqi was so disgusted by her second sister’s fellow villager that she dropped a bomb.

“What? Impossible!” Su Qinghan was so excited that she couldn’t help but scream out loud, but when she saw her third sister looking at her in surprise, she realized that she had overreacted.

She smiled awkwardly and quickly explained, “I am also a medical student. This uterine cold disease is not easy to cure. It requires a long process.”

No one knew better than her that what her elder sister suffered from was not uterine cold but a chronic poison that was particularly similar to uterine cold. Not only did it have the characteristics of a uterine cold, but it would also slowly corrode her uterus. After five years, her elder sister’s uterus would rot.

But the third sister’s words that her eldest sister’s uterine cold disease had been cured made her panic, and she began to doubt whether her medical skills were invincible. You know, except for the terminal illness of Marquis Huaining, all the difficult and complicated diseases in the world could not be difficult for her.

Su Qinghan was so depressed that she vomited blood. She no longer had the energy to persuade Su Qingqi to seduce her brother-in-law, so she quickly found an excuse to leave.

“Miss, the second lady didn’t look well when she left.” After Minglan came in, she continued to help the girl wipe her hair while speaking in a low voice.

Su Qingqi curled the corners of her mouth and leaned lazily against the window frame.

“My second sister was just a little stimulated.”

Minglan: “…”

After her long hair was dry, Su Qingqi fell asleep peacefully. On the other side, Su Qinghan tossed and turned and couldn’t fall asleep, wondering what had gone wrong.

The next day, when Su Qingqi saw her second sister, she found that her face looked not so good, and she was speechless. Her second sister was too narrow-minded. Whether in ancient times or modern times, only when the family is strong can they have confidence in their husband’s family. It is the most unreliable to maintain a marriage only by relying on so-called feelings. People’s hearts are changeable, and so are their feelings.

Isn’t it something to be happy about that elder sister is getting better?

She really doesn’t understand what her second sister is thinking.

After breakfast, Su Qinghan found an excuse to take Mingya and follow Su Qingqi, holding her arm. On the way, they met many maids and old women who were busy going back and forth in the Wuchang Marquis Mansion.

The maids and old women were obviously a little surprised that the two sisters were walking together so intimately. Didn’t some people gossip about them not getting along well?

“Third sister, I just heard from my eldest sister that my eldest brother will go to Beijing soon to take us back to Jiangnan…” Su Qinghan didn’t sleep well last night and heard this shocking news this morning. She felt terrible.

“Sister, don’t you want to go back to Jiangnan?” Su Qingqi paused slightly.

“Third sister wants to go back?” Su Qinghan asked tentatively.

“I’ll listen to my eldest brother.” Su Qingqi seemed obedient on the surface, but in fact, she planned to discuss countermeasures with Lord Chu when she went to the Huaining Marquis’ Mansion today.

Before she and her second sister went to the capital, her father and stepmother had warned them not to have anything to do with the princes. She had considered every aspect when she chose Marquis Chu.

Therefore, she was not worried about being blamed by her elder brother.

“But my eldest sister said that we are going to discuss marriage when we go back this time.” Su Qinghan felt annoyed when the topic of discussing marriage was brought up. It seemed that she had to speed up the implementation of her plan before her eldest brother arrived in Kyoto.

In this life, she doesn’t want to abandon the protection of her family again.

But this doesn’t mean that she has to obey her family’s arrangement and marry someone she doesn’t like.

It would be best if she could drag her third sister into this. She didn’t believe that her father would abandon two daughters in a row in this life.

“Aren’t marriages decided by parents?” Just as they were at the side door of the mansion, Su Qingqi used this sentence to stop her from causing any more trouble. After speaking a few words to the servant guarding the gate, she took Minglan out.

Su Qinghan choked and cursed her third sister for being so stupid. She chased after her third sister and was about to say something to brainwash her when she saw the carriage from the Huaining Marquis’s Mansion coming over. After saying goodbye to her second sister at the door, Su Qingqi took Minglan into the eight-treasure carriage with an emerald canopy and pearl tassels.

She didn’t notice that her second sister’s eyes were filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment.

Marquis Huaining was very strange today, with joy in his eyes and brows, as if he had some happy event. When he saw Su Qingqi, he smiled at her on purpose. His smile was particularly handsome, and his eyes were deep and gentle as if they were dotted with starlight. Su Qingqi, who had no resistance to this type of person, blushed in shame, left with the sentence “I’m going to boil the medicine soup,” and fled.

Su Qingqi’s performance did not escape the sharp eyes of Lord Chu.

Lord Chu was in a very good mood. He motioned for Chu Yi to go over and help, while he picked up the teacup brought by Uncle Chen and took a sip of the cloud tea.

“Uncle Chen, have you found the official media?”

Uncle Chen at the side replied with a smile: “Don’t worry, Your Majesty. The official matchmaker and the eunuch who delivered the imperial decree have already left for Jiangnan this morning.” The Marquis was afraid that Lord Su, the Governor of Jiangnan, would not agree to the marriage, so he went to the palace to ask for the imperial decree to grant the marriage.

“That’s good.” Lord Chu put down the teacup gracefully, his slender fingers casually playing with the armrest of the wheelchair, and said lightly: “By the way, my future uncle will be arriving in the capital soon; please send someone to pick him up when the time comes.”

Uncle Chen nodded in agreement.

More than an hour later, Su Qingqi asked Chu Yi and others to bring in the boiled five-color medicinal soup. One of them was holding the medicinal lunch she made.

This was the second time that Lord Chu drank the five-color medicinal soup. The effect of the five-color medicinal soup was very good. If he had not met Ah Qi, I am afraid that even the upper part of his thigh would have begun to slowly stiffen.

“My Lord, how do you feel now?” Su Qingqi asked curiously. She especially wanted to know what effect Marquis Chu had after drinking the five-color medicinal soup twice.

“It feels good, Aqi. Do you think I still have a chance to stand up?” Lord Chu stared at her and asked with a smile in his eyes.

This time, Lord Chu did not call her “Madam”, and Su Qingqi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She searched her mind for records of this terminal illness in the “Food Classic”.

Lord Chu’s calves are only paralyzed, and he is in the middle stage of a terminal illness. Once this terminal illness reaches the middle stage, the imbalance of the five elements in the body will become more and more serious. The main function of the five-color medicinal soup now is to start with major adjustments and curb the continued imbalance.

“Yes, but it will take a long time, maybe one or two years.”

After Su Qingqi explained his symptoms, Lord Chu nodded slightly, and with an idea in mind, he looked at her with a smile: “Ah Qi, thank you for your hard work. It’s getting late. Let’s have lunch together.”

After saying that, Uncle Chen began to take out the medicinal food from the carved red lacquered nine-piece food box and place it on the black lacquered Pengya square table. The aroma of the dishes mixed with the aroma of the medicine whetted people’s appetites.

Minglan ate alone.

After lunch, Lord Chu asked Chu Yi to set the tea set, as if he had something to discuss with Su Qingqi in detail. It just so happened that Su Qingqi also planned to discuss something with Lord Chu.

“Ah Qi, I have sent someone to Jiangnan to ask your father for marriage.”

ah?

Su Qingqi was holding the Hetian white jade teacup and was thinking about how to start the conversation when she was frightened by Lord Chu’s words.

“My Lord, are you joking?” My father would definitely not agree.

Lord Chu obviously knew what she was thinking, and the smile in his eyes deepened: “No kidding, the official media and the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict have already left for Jiangnan this morning.”

“Ahem, Lord Marquis, you said there are eunuchs from the palace with you?”

“Yes, I have asked the emperor to grant me a marriage. Aqi, are you very happy?” Lord Chu raised the corner of his mouth and chuckled.

Su Qingqi: “…”

Happy? She was frightened, okay? She didn’t expect Lord Chu to come up with a marriage granted by the emperor, and the one he granted was the concubine’s daughter of a second-rank official…

The noble ladies in Kyoto must be jealous of her to death!
