Rebirth of the Exclusive Herbalist

Six days were neither long nor short, and Su Qingqi completed the task of making the medicinal soup. Her elder brother Su Zhijin would also arrive in the capital in these two days.

It was the Mid-Autumn Festival now, and the leaves of some of the big trees in the mansion were gradually turning yellow.

Su Qingqi didn’t go to the Huaining Marquis Mansion today because Princess Xinrou suddenly came to see her.

Princess Xinrou has been in a bad mood these days. Every time she comes back to see her elder sister, Princess Xinrou is there. The sixteen- or seventeen-year-old girl has a hint of sadness between her brows.

In fact, it is normal for aristocratic families to marry each other, especially Princess Xinrou and Prince Yu’s son, Li Can, who have a verbal engagement. However, only Princess Xinrou is enthusiastic about this engagement.

“Today, Brother Li Can announced in front of everyone that the engagement between us was only a verbal engagement. It doesn’t count without the exchange of engagement letters. I never thought he would be so cruel. He actually said in public that I was causing him trouble by clinging to him and asked me to stay away from him in the future…” Princess Xinrou had a sad face. She would never forget the pitying eyes of the noble ladies present.

She didn’t know why she went to Su Qingqi to confide in her; she just felt that she was a trustworthy person.

Su Qingqi asked Minglan to serve scented tea to Princess Xinrou. She frowned slightly when she heard her words, thinking of Prince Li Can, whom she met a few days ago. She didn’t expect that he looked like a decent person on the surface but was a scumbag inside.

Although Princess Xinrou is the eldest princess’s granddaughter, her status is still one level lower than that of the royal family.

She just wonders if this matter has anything to do with her second sister?

She did not forget the look that Prince Li Chan gave her second sister at that time.

“Princess, it’s not worth it to be sad and in pain for such a person. There is not only one man in the world. Many men are better and better than him.”

Princess Xinrou smiled bitterly, picked up the teacup, and took a sip of tea, “I always thought that I would become Brother Li Can’s wife, and I have been working towards this goal, but today, he rejected all my efforts.”

Su Qingqi glanced at Princess Xinrou and couldn’t help asking, “Princess, do you like Prince Li Can?”

Princess Xinrou’s eyes were blank for a moment. After a while, she answered hesitantly, “I don’t know. I think I like him.”

“Prince Li Can cancelled the engagement in public. Did you feel heartbroken?” Su Qingqi sighed slightly. It seemed that Princess Xinrou didn’t know whether she liked Prince Li Can or not.

Although she had never loved in both lives, her sister had experienced it in her previous life. She had witnessed, with her own eyes, her sister being in agony for a man and committing suicide several times. In the end, if it had not been for her eldest brother, who found a top hypnotist to hypnotize her sister, she would not have imagined what her sister would be like in the end.

Since then, she has stayed away from love.

Now she has inexplicably traveled to this imaginary dynasty. Even if Lord Chu promised that she would be the only woman in his life, she would agree to try to live with him for the rest of her life, but she would not necessarily fall in love with Lord Chu.

Lord Chu didn’t know this.

“In excruciating pain? I don’t have that feeling. I just feel very angry, very upset, and very embarrassed, especially since that woman Yaru will definitely mock me again…” Princess Xinrou shook her head without even thinking.

“There is no feeling of excruciating pain. You probably just thought you loved him because of the verbal engagement. In fact, the princess should be glad that Prince Li Can made the matter clear in public, allowing you to see his true character early on.” Su Qingqi discovered that she had the potential to be a close sister.

Princess Xinrou thought about it carefully and felt that what Su Qingqi said made sense. It was true that a bystander can see things more clearly. The sadness in her heart was relieved a lot. Seeing that the weather was very good today, she suggested going horseback riding.

“The weather is nice today, Qingqi, let’s go horseback riding.”

Su Qingqi was left speechless by Princess Xinrou’s jumping thoughts. She wanted to object, but then she heard Princess Xinrou instructing Minglan to find her personal maid to prepare riding clothes.

Minglan had no choice but to bow and leave.

“Princess, I don’t know how to ride a horse!” Su Qingqi looked resistive.

“I can teach you. Don’t worry, I’m a good rider!” Princess Xinrou will not give up once she is interested.

Su Qingqi: “…”

Not long after, Minglan came in with another pretty and steady maid, holding two sets of riding clothes in her hands. Princess Xinrou forced Su Qingqi to change into a light blue women’s riding suit without any explanation, and Minglan helped her comb her hair and braid it into a pigtail at the back of her head.

Princess Xinrou’s riding clothes are bright red, which makes her look even more delicate and lovely.

“Let’s go and talk to my sister-in-law!”

When the eldest sister, Su Qingwan, learned that the two were going horseback riding, she smiled and reminded them to be careful. She ignored the third sister’s look for help. She felt that the third sister was only fifteen years old, but her temperament was too quiet, so it would be good for her to go out and exercise to relax.

As for Su Qinghan, the two sisters ignored her at the same time. Even Princess Xinrou rarely went out with her. Now that Su Qinghan had gained a reputation outside, she had made the acquaintance of Prince Li Can and the Fourth Prince.

Every time Su Qinghan went out, she went on the pretext of being invited by Princess Yaru. Ever since she knew how vicious she was, she only did superficial work.

However, there were only two little girls and a group of guards going riding, and Su Qingwan was worried about it. How could it be possible without their brother’s protection? So she asked someone to notify Zhao Xiran.

Princess Xinrou was the eldest princess’s granddaughter and was quite favored in the Wuchang Marquis’s Mansion. At her command, the servants quickly prepared the carriage for the trip.

As soon as the carriage drove out of the city gate of the powerful area, the coachman saw his own prince waiting at the city gate on a tall and strong horse. Next to him was a carriage with a colorful glazed canopy and green curtains, protected by a large number of guards in armor.

The driver quickly pulled the reins, jumped off the carriage, and bowed to Zhao Xiran: “My Lord!”

Princess Xinrou lifted the carriage curtain, revealing a pretty face. She smiled and greeted Zhao Xiran, “Brother, why are you here? Are you going to the stable to ride horses as well?”

“Brother-in-law!” Su Qingqi also greeted her brother-in-law through the curtain, but her eyes were looking in surprise at the carriage with a colorful glazed canopy and green curtains next to him.

This carriage looks so familiar; could it be the carriage of Marquis Huaining?

“Well, your sister-in-law was worried, so she asked someone to notify me to come and accompany you.” Zhao Xiran looked at his sister lovingly. He didn’t say that he was worried too. Seeing that his sister didn’t seem to be affected by Li Can’s breaking off the engagement, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

“Then let’s go!” Princess Xinrou waved her hand happily when she saw her elder brother was going too.

“Ahem, Xinrou, in addition to big brother, Marquis Huaining will also go to the horse farm!” Zhao Xiran glanced at the carriage with its colorful glazed canopy and green curtains and said with a light cough.

As soon as the words fell, the curtain of the carriage with a colorful glazed canopy and green curtains was lifted, revealing the handsome face of Huaining Hou, and his smiling eyes met Su Qingqi’s gaze.

Su Qingqi was stunned. Why did Lord Chu go to the horse farm? Wasn’t his leg paralyzed? Could it be that he was going to watch her ride a horse?

But she can’t ride a horse…
