Rebirth of the Exclusive Herbalist

No matter how her second sister, Su Qinghan, is not in Su Qingwan’s attention, Su Qingwan only expresses her concern symbolically. If she wants to commit suicide, Su Qingwan can’t do anything about it.

The next day, in the study of Huaining Marquis Mansion

Chu Yi handed a secret report to Lord Chu and whispered, “Lord, everything that Governor Su and his family have done recently is in it.”

Lord Chu took it and leisurely flipped through the secret report in his hand. After reading it, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. Governor Su, this old fox, is worthy of being the most trusted minister of the emperor. He is really shrewd and calculating.

He could even endure and plan for the Su family even though his daughter was taken away by a short-lived marquis.

The Su family had a shallow foundation among the powerful and wealthy, and what they needed most was to expand their network of contacts through marriage. As for marrying a prince, needless to say, he knew that this was the most taboo thing for the Su family. Once they were associated with the prince, no matter whether they stood with him or not, they would be labeled and involved in the fight for the throne.

It is the most dangerous for the Su family.

If Second Miss Su could get hold of Prince Li Can, Su Yuanhong would definitely do everything he could to make her, a concubine’s daughter, become his prince’s consort.

As the prince’s son, Prince Li Can will definitely inherit the title of Prince Yu in the future, which is a higher status than the prince of Wuchang Marquis. Su Qinghan is lucky to have such good fortune. As long as she is not greedy, she will always live a happy life.

but……

Lord Chu smiled sarcastically and threw the file away.

“Chu Yi, send someone to check if the person who came to pick up Su San has returned?”

Chu Yi took the order and went out, but soon came back, “My Lord, Miss Su San is here.”

“Where?”

“She went to the small kitchen and said that she would prepare a medicinal meal for her elder brother to welcome him back.”

“Push me to the kitchen.”

In the small kitchen of Tingtao Garden, Su Qingqi skillfully processed various ingredients, while Minglan carefully selected vegetables on the side. The division of labor between the master and servant was very clear.

“Miss, will the eldest young master come to the Huaining Marquis’ Mansion today?” Minglan asked uncertainly. She had lived in two marquisates for some time and knew that the areas of the powerful and wealthy were not accessible to anyone. The eldest young master was just a small garrison commander in Jiangnan, and even if he went to the Wuchang Marquis’ Mansion, where he had a marriage relationship, he would need a seal.

Not to mention the Huaining Marquis Mansion.

Su Qingqi rubbed the big bluefish in her hand back and forth while practicing the auxiliary skills in her hands, until the impurities in it were completely removed, then she washed it, cut it into pieces, and marinated it with the sauce she made while talking to Minglan: “Of course, the Marquis sent his personal guards to pick up my brother.”

“Ah…” Minglan was surprised, then she became happy, “It seems that the Marquis cares a lot about the girl.”

Su Qingqi smiled. The relationship between her and Lord Chu was quite complicated, so it was hard to say. She took out a piece of unprocessed pork belly, cleaned it of impurities, washed it and cut it into thick and fat cubes, and cut the onion into fine cubes…

Every move is free and easy.

Lord Chu, who had arrived at the kitchen door at some point, was watching Su Qingqi process the ingredients with a smile. He noticed with his sharp eyes that the meat she processed would have some black stains or other dirt.

It seems that Ah Qi is using her abilities to process the ingredients.

No wonder the meals made by Ah Qi are delicious and good for the body. Lord Chu unconsciously touched the extra fat on his waist. He had gained weight after eating the meals made by Ah Qi for only ten days.

He wonders if he will become a fat man in the future!

Lord Chu expressed his concern.

At the same time, he couldn’t help feeling jealous. Aqi seldom cooked for him except for making medicinal soup for him. Every time he mentioned it eagerly, Aqi would cook for him. As soon as Su Zhijin came, Aqi started to busy herself inside and outside.

“Hey, Marquis, why are you here?” After Su Qingqi finished processing all the ingredients, she saw Marquis Huaining at the kitchen door. Every time she made medicinal food and stewed medicinal soup in the small kitchen, Marquis Chu liked to come and watch. Su Qingqi was a little speechless about this.

Minglan had actually seen Lord Chu a long time ago, but Lord Chu did not allow her to say it.

“I’m free anyway, so I might as well come over and watch Ah Qi cook.” Lord Chu smiled brightly.

Chu Yi lowered his head, and the corner of his mouth twitched: The Marquis was lying again.

Su Qingqi: “…” The Marquis is so idle!

At noon, the Su family’s unique luxury ship that Su Zhijin was riding on docked at a pier twenty miles east of Kyoto. This time, Su Zhijin traveled light and got off the ship with five or six servants.

The personal guards of the Huaining Marquisate who were waiting at the dock saw them get off the boat, and Chu Er, as the leader of the personal guards, stepped forward to greet Su Zhijin.

Even someone as cold as Su Zhijin couldn’t help but be surprised.

When he was on the boat, he received a letter from his father. When he learned that his third sister was married to Marquis Huaining, he couldn’t believe it. But now the Marquis’s personal guards personally took him to the Marquis Huaining’s mansion, forcing him to believe it.

He couldn’t help but worry about his third sister.

You know, Marquis Huaining doesn’t have more than two years to live. What will happen to his third sister in the future?

However, even if she was granted marriage to Marquis Huaining, he would take her back to Jiangnan to prepare for the wedding when he went to Beijing this time.

When the group returned to the Huaining Marquis’ Mansion, Su Qingqi had just prepared a large table of medicinal food, and the entire small kitchen was still filled with the rich aroma of various meats, medicines, and other flavors.

Minglan couldn’t help but sniff a few more times and swallow her saliva. It was so tempting.

Every time the girl cooks, it challenges her taste buds.

Fortunately, the girl would always leave a pot of soup for them to eat with their meals.

As soon as Su Zhijin entered the Huaining Marquis’ Mansion, he thought she had returned to the military camp. He did not expect that the gentle and elegant Marquis Chu’s mansion would be so solemn. Could the third sister bear it?

With such concerns, Su Zhijin entered the hall under the leadership of Chu Er. When Su Qingqi saw his elder brother coming, he hurried to greet him.

“Brother!”

“Third sister!” Su Zhijin nodded slightly, turned to Lord Chu, who was not far away, and bowed: “Your Highness, I, Su Zhijin, greet you!”

Lord Chu smiled and said, “Uncle, there is no need to be polite. Sit down and have a cup of warm tea to moisten your throat first.”

Su Zhijin, who was called Uncle, had a sluggish face: “…”

After sitting down, Su Qingqi personally held a cup of warm tea for her eldest brother: “Brother, have some tea! Hot water has been prepared in the guest room. If you want to take a bath and change clothes, please ask the servants to serve you first.”

“Sorry for troubling you, Third Sister!” Su Zhijin took the teacup and sipped it elegantly. He didn’t expect that his third sister would be so thoughtful. After sitting on the boat for about a month, he really needed a bath.

“I will cook lunch myself, big brother, you must try my cooking!” Su Qingqi gave Su Zhijin a rare, playful smile.

“Okay!” Su Zhijin was not used to the change in his third sister, so he could only pull the corners of his mouth and nod.

Su Zhijin drank half a cup of tea, and Chu Er took him to the guest room to take a bath. When he came out of the bath, the table in the hall was already filled with rich and fragrant dishes.

“Uncle, you’re in for a treat today. This large table of medicinal food was specially made for you by Aqi.” Lord Chu introduced with a smile as soon as he saw Su Zhijin come in.

Su Zhijin bowed to Lord Chu and sat down, looking at Su Qingqi with a hint of tenderness: “Thank you for your hard work, third sister.”

“This is what I should do.” Su Qingqi replied somewhat embarrassedly.

Su Zhijin was still not satisfied after the meal and felt refreshed all over. He had never expected that this half-sister, who had the least presence, actually had such superb cooking skills that no one could match.

At this moment, he suddenly disliked Lord Chu, his future brother-in-law.

It’s not that the Su family is marrying up to Lord Chu, but that Lord Chu is taking advantage of them.

Especially when he learned that his third sister could actually boil medicinal soup to prolong the life of Lord Chu, Su Zhijin became even more certain. Fortunately, Lord Chu promised that there would only be his third sister as the only woman.

In this way, apart from the fact that there will be no children, the marriage is not so unsatisfactory.

When he asked his third sister if he could tell his father about this, his third sister agreed, but it had to be kept secret and only known to him and his father.

Su Zhijin would keep it a secret, even without his third sister telling him.

The third sister’s special ability is too eye-catching. As long as the doctor diagnoses the condition, she can prepare medicated food accordingly. Her medical skills are even more eye-catching than the second sister’s. At least the second sister cannot extend the life of Lord Chu.

Fortunately, the third sister is a smart person. Yes, Su Zhijin found that they had all misjudged her. If it weren’t for the eldest sister, Wan’er, the third sister’s ability would probably still be well hidden.

The Su family has never been afraid of smart people, but they are afraid that some people are ignorant and cannot be enlightened, no matter how hard they try. Of course, what they fear most is that some people are too smart and do things that are detrimental to the Su family.

During this period, Su Zhijin never asked about Su Qinghan, and Lord Chu and Su Qingqi also tacitly kept silent about it.

But this doesn’t mean that Su Qinghan won’t make her presence felt.

Especially when she learned that her elder brother would arrive in Beijing today, Su Qinghan went to the Fourth Prince’s residence early in the morning with her personal maid, Mingya. In the end, no one knew what they said, but the Fourth Prince took Su Qinghan to the palace to meet the emperor.
