Rebirth of the Exclusive Herbalist

Chapter 20



Of course, this frustration was only temporary in Su Qinghan’s heart. Once the only obstacle—Lord Chu—died, it would be her time to shine.

In her previous life, the third sister was very successful with her extraordinary medical skills and had a successful love and career. In this life, she chose the path that the third sister had taken in her previous life, and she will definitely be able to live a prosperous life.

At this moment, Su Qinghan was cheering herself up in her heart and did not notice that when Lord Chu said that, a strange look flashed across the Fourth Prince’s eyes. He was a shrewd man, and the details that he had ignored before were highlighted, and he couldn’t help but feel a little suspicious.

Miss Su Er is just a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old and a concubine’s daughter raised in seclusion. Where did she get such superb medical skills?

Even if she said she had been taught by an only theoretical master. Which of the imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital had not gone through thousands of trials and tribulations? But this Miss Su was better at taking pulses and diagnosing than the imperial doctors, and her pulse diagnosis was more detailed than that of the imperial doctors…

It’s so abnormal!

When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong!

The Fourth Prince admired Marquis Chu, a brilliant and powerful man; otherwise, he would not have brought Miss Su here after learning about her superb medical skills.

So the Fourth Prince sincerely apologized to Lord Chu: “It was my fault that I was reckless!”

As soon as these words were spoken, Su Qinghan’s face turned pale, and she felt terrified. What did the Fourth Prince mean by this?

Lord Chu did not miss the Fourth Prince’s strange behavior. His fingertips gently stroked the rim of the blue and white porcelain cup, with a smile on his lips to show that he did not mind. Among all the princes of His Majesty, he knew the Prince of Yong’s flexibility and ruthlessness best, and he was the one with the greatest hope of ascending to that position.

Miss Su Er is not afraid of courting a tiger.

Princess Yaru’s beautiful face showed a hint of gloating involuntarily. She had long regretted winning over Su Qinghan. She had promised to help her deal with Su Qingwan, but Su Qingwan was already pregnant, and she had not made any progress at all. The most hateful thing was that this bitch, Su Qinghan, actually used her as a stepping stone. She not only hooked up with her eldest brother, Li Can but also hooked up with the Fourth Prince.

In the end, her eldest brother scolded her for this bitch. Now, seeing that Lord Chu directly slapped her face, Princess Ya Ru was secretly happy. However, her happiness only lasted for a short while, and her eldest brother felt sorry for the beauty.

“Miss Qinghan, Marquis Chu is suffering from a terminal illness. It doesn’t matter if he can’t be cured.” Seeing that the woman he loved was wronged, Li Can felt a little dissatisfied with Marquis Chu and couldn’t help but comfort Su Qinghan.

Su Qinghan felt warm in her heart and gave Li Can a grateful look. Then she looked at the Fourth Prince with some grievance, deliberately letting the Fourth Prince see the hidden admiration hidden in her eyes.

Su Qingqi, who was standing aside with her eyebrows lowered and her eyes lowered, wondered if the Prince of Yu would speak? And her second sister… she didn’t know what to say to her. She carefully glanced at the expression of Lord Chu and found that he was not unhappy. She thought Lord Chu was a broad-minded person.

Lord Chu, who was mistakenly believed to be broad-minded, was already secretly thinking about how to deal with Prince Li Can.

The Fourth Prince frowned slightly. Li Can was too emotional and unfit for important tasks. Of course, being a suspicious person, he also did not like Su Qinghan’s behavior. Putting aside the doubts about her medical skills, he felt that it was better for an unmarried woman to be more dignified.

Su Qinghan certainly didn’t know that she had once again made a fool of herself.

In fact, we can only say that she chose the wrong time. Sometimes, the right time is really important. What is the right time? It will test your intelligence and foresight.

This trip to the Huaining Marquis’ Mansion can be said to be a failure.

When the Fourth Prince and his entourage left, Su Qingqi discovered that Princess Yaru, apart from being disdainful of her at the beginning, did not say a word and just sat there quietly.

She is totally different from the arrogant and impulsive Princess Ya Ru that she met at the beginning. These noble ladies are really not simple!

“Aqi, stay away from your second sister!” When Su Qingqi pushed Lord Chu back to Tingtao Garden, Lord Chu suddenly said this.

Su Qingqi asked curiously, “Why?”

Lord Chu looked at her with a smile on his lips, but his words were very straightforward: “No reason, because you are stupid.”

“It’s enough that the Marquis is smart!” Su Qingqi couldn’t help but roll her eyes and say something sarcastic to him.

In fact, to deal with the cunning second sister, you only need three tricks: pretend to be stupid, pretend to be timid, and have less contact with her.

Lord Chu nodded naturally: “That’s right!”

Unexpectedly, Lord Chu was so thick-skinned. Su Qingqi was too tired to complain.

Chu Yi behind him: “…”

Minglan, however, felt that the girl and Lord Chu seemed to be getting more and more harmonious.

After lunch, Su Qingqi took a nap in the west wing of Tingtao Garden. In the afternoon, she continued to prepare two doses of five-color medicinal soups, which made a total of four doses of medicinal soups a day.

The longest period from the imperial decree of marriage to the wedding is half a year. Twenty doses of medicinal soup are enough. To be on the safe side, Su Qingqi plans to make ten more doses. There will be no more.

Even if the five-color medicinal soup is sealed and stored for more than half a year, its efficacy will be reduced.

Lord Chu also knew this.

When she returned in the afternoon, as soon as she arrived at the gate of the mansion, a maid came over and told her that her eldest sister was waiting for her.

Su Qingqi hurriedly took Minglan over. As soon as they stepped into the house, they found that there was a young woman in their eldest sister’s room. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the second young master’s wife, Ning.

She didn’t know what the eldest sister was talking about with the second young master’s wife, but they kept laughing.

“Third sister, why did you come back so late?” The beaded curtain moved slightly. Su Qingwan looked up and found that it was her third sister. She immediately stopped talking to Ning, and she couldn’t help but ask worriedly.

Su Qingqi bowed politely to the Second Young Master’s wife before replying to her eldest sister.

“Something delayed me, and I made my elder sister worried.”

Su Qingwan stood up and took the third sister’s hand, looking at her carefully. She felt relieved to find that the person was innocent, but she still had to remind her tactfully.

“Third sister, there is no relationship between you and Lord Chu, so it is better not to have frequent contact.”

“What the eldest sister-in-law said is right. It would be better for the Third Young Lady and Marquis Chu to avoid suspicion, so as to avoid gossip.” Ning nodded in agreement. She must have no idea how unpleasant the things the servants in the mansion said in private were.

The Ning family is a noble family. If a girl has a bad reputation, she cannot marry into the Ning family.

But she knew that she couldn’t blame Miss Su San. After all, even the Wuchang Marquis’s Mansion had to avoid her, not to mention that Miss Su San was just the concubine’s daughter of a second-rank official.

Su Qingqi was grateful for her elder sister’s concern. She held her elder sister’s hand and told her that Lord Chu had specially come to the palace to ask for permission to grant the marriage.

“Ah? Third sister, are you saying that Lord Chu has asked for an imperial decree to grant the marriage?” Su Qingwan was shocked and couldn’t help but glance at Ning. It seemed that what they had discussed was going to fall through.

Su Qingqi nodded: “Yes, elder sister, Lord Chu said yesterday that the official media and the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict had already gone to Jiangnan.”

Ning was also surprised; obviously, she had not expected this to happen. Her eyes slightly changed as she looked at Su Qingqi. This illegitimate daughter, Miss Su San, was really capable.

It seems that her Ning family and the Su family can no longer become in-laws!
