Rebirth of the Exclusive Herbalist

Since there was an imperial decree granting the marriage, Su Qingqi felt relieved. Even after returning to Jiangnan, there would be no marriage discussion. However, she still needed to talk to Lord Chu about this matter. After all, the medicine soup could not be stopped. Fortunately, the medicine soup did not need to be taken every day, but only every ten days.

It saved her a lot of time.

The afternoon sun shone through the window lattice and fell on the two of them. After hearing what Ah Qi said, the smile on Lord Chu’s handsome face seemed to be coated with a layer of golden light, shining with dots of light.

“Well, it’s good to go back to Jiangnan. It’s a good time to prepare for the wedding.”

Hearing this, Su Qingqi’s mouth twitched.

“Miss Su, you’re back in Jiangnan now. What about the Marquis’s medicine?” Chu Yi, who had been acting like a wooden man, couldn’t help but interrupt anxiously.

Su Qingqi pursed her lips and smiled, glanced at Lord Chu, who looked calm and composed, and silently complained: So calm!

“I will prepare the medicine for you and seal it up. You just need to take it according to the previous instructions.”

After getting Su Qingqi’s promise, Chu Yi retreated silently.

“Thank you for your hard work, Ah Qi!” Lord Chu smiled and sipped the fragrant green tea. “Starting tomorrow, I will ask Butler Chen to pick you up at the Wuchang Marquis’ Mansion.”

Although Lord Chu appears to be indifferent on the surface, he actually has other plans in mind. In just a few days, he has already figured out Ah Qi’s personality.

He knew she wouldn’t give up halfway and that there would definitely be a solution, so he wasn’t nervous.

It is indeed the case!

“Okay!” Time was pressing, so Su Qingqi didn’t act pretentiously and agreed directly.

A hint of satisfaction flashed across Lord Chu’s eyes, and he thought about it and gently made a suggestion.

“It’s still early; why don’t you come with me to tour the mansion?”

Su Qingqi’s heart skipped a beat. Was Lord Chu giving her trust in disguise? Seeing Lord Chu smiling gently and waiting for her response, Su Qingqi nodded, sipped her tea, put down the teacup in her hand, stood up, and naturally took over Chu Yi’s job—pushing the wheelchair.

Lord Chu raised the corner of his mouth when he saw this.

Chu Yi followed behind them, not too far away. Uncle Chen needed to take care of the affairs of the Marquis’ Mansion, so he left early.

After leaving Tingtao Garden, Minglan, who was waiting outside, saw her master pushing the marquis out. She bowed quickly and followed quietly behind with Chu Yi.

Along the way, Lord Chu smiled and introduced to Su Qingqi the garden scenery of each courtyard, the attic pavilions, the garden waterside pavilions, the ponds with fish and birds, the rockery and flowing water, the corridors, the arch bridges, the carved railings, and the various pine, bamboo, sycamore, banana, and other noble flowers and trees…

Su Qingqi had a rare opportunity to feast her eyes, and she was amazed again and again. Although the Huaining Marquis Mansion was a bit solemn due to the implementation of military-style management, it was still exquisite and grand, and its low-key appearance showed the owner’s elegant taste.

The opportunity to fully appreciate the hereditary marquis’s mansion was a rare one, and even Minglan opened her eyes wide to look around.

Seeing that it was getting late, Su Qingqi was still reluctant to leave. She couldn’t hide the regret on her face, but she had to say goodbye.

“My Lord, I should go back now. I’m afraid I won’t have the chance to see the rest of the garden again!”

There was a sly flash in Lord Chu’s eyes, and he did not miss the regret in her eyes. There was a hint of temptation in his deep voice: “Aqi, when you come in, you will be one of the masters. This huge mansion is yours, and you can look at it however you want.” Although he had planned to keep her imprisoned by his side for the rest of her life, he still wanted Aqi to stay willingly.

Anyway, he never thought about having a second woman.

Ah Qi is a rough jade or a rough jade that has been carved but has concealed its own brilliance. While no one is noticing, he will take the initiative to lock her by his side.

Su Qingqi’s heart trembled, and she couldn’t help but think of the series of actions of Marquis Chu. He asked for an imperial decree to grant the marriage, invited her to tour the entire house, and said something that was ambiguous. However, it was just a transaction between the two of them, but the meaning revealed by Marquis Chu seemed to be that she would really be the owner of the Marquisate at that time. She had to think more, for fear that she would misunderstand.

“My Lord, what do you mean?”

“Don’t you have the answer in your heart?” Lord Chu looked at her with burning eyes.

Su Qingqi lowered her eyes: “I’m afraid I might have misunderstood the Marquis’s meaning…”

“Ah Qi, a marriage granted by imperial decree does not allow divorce!” Lord Chu raised the corners of his lips and smiled brightly: “So you are destined to be my wife, the Marquis of Huaining, in this life.”

So Lord Chu meant that the deal between them was void? Su Qingqi’s mouth twitched. Moreover, why did she feel that Lord Chu was asking the emperor to grant him a marriage in order to hide his family’s weird and cruel ancestral precepts?

When the master and servant left the Huaining Marquis Mansion, Su Qingqi was persuaded by Marquis Chu in a daze. Unlike Minglan’s excitement, Su Qingqi was at a loss for whether to laugh or cry. How could she be brainwashed like this?

But on second thought, since Lord Chu had promised her that there would be no other women in the future and she would be the only mistress of the mansion, then it would not be bad to live with Lord Chu for the rest of her life.

Su Qingqi had just returned to the Wuchang Marquis Mansion and had no time to eat dinner when Nanny Zhao, who was by her elder sister’s side, came over and asked someone to bring in a large box.

Inside were four sets of brocade dresses, a pair of shoes embroidered with lotus flowers, and a pair of shoes embroidered with bright red magnolia flowers.

“Madam Zhao, why did my elder sister suddenly give me clothes and shoes?” Su Qingqi liked the four sets of brocade dresses very much and couldn’t help asking.

“It’s autumn now, and Madam is worried that the third young lady doesn’t have enough clothes, so she sent an old servant to bring her new clothes.” Nanny Zhao said with a smile.

Su Qingqi asked Madam Zhao to thank her elder sister for her concern. Madam Zhao continued with a smile, “Madam asked me to tell the third young lady that the imperial physician came to check Madam’s pulse at noon and said that the lady is one month pregnant.”

Su Qingqi was surprised at first, but then her face was filled with joy: “That’s great! If it weren’t for the fact that it was late and I was afraid of disturbing my elder sister’s rest, I would definitely go over and congratulate her.”

Minglan also looked very happy and proud. The young lady was pregnant, and it was all thanks to her master.

“Third lady is so thoughtful. We have to thank you for all this.” Aunt Zhao said with joy and gratitude.

“This is also the blessing that elder sister is destined to have.” Su Qingqi smiled modestly, but she was not surprised at the effect of the medicinal soup. Both elder sister and brother-in-law had eaten the medicinal food and recovered. It was only a matter of time before they could get the good news, but she didn’t expect it to happen so soon.

It can be seen that the eldest sister, Su Qingwan is a blessed person.

Aunt Zhao was increasingly satisfied with the Third Miss’s performance and said happily, “Madam has already written a letter home and asked someone to send it to Jiangnan. The old lady and the master’s wife will definitely be very happy when they know about it.”

Seeing how happy Nanny Zhao was, Su Qingqi thought of her second sister’s thoughts and was afraid that she would harm her eldest sister, so she decided to talk to her eldest sister tomorrow.
