Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers

Chapter 260: Compared to these people, he is truly blessed!

Chapter 260: Chapter 260: Compared to these people, he is truly blessed!

Qi Yue met the two in the front hall.

Song Qiyun was completely different from before.

When he appeared, he was deliberately well-dressed, in a magnificent and neat blue long gown, a white jade pendant at his waist, and his hair tied up with a white jade hoop, sweeping away his past lazy and leisurely appearance, he looked astute and impressive.

Even those eyes, which seemed never to carry emotion, were startlingly bright.

Qi Yue felt this gaze was somewhat familiar.

It took her a moment to remember.

...

Initially, Hu Keqing looked at her with the same gaze, which later became increasingly strange and disgusting.

She frowned slightly, this was not a good sign.

“Miss Qi, I have brought Song Chongzhen’s wife over, and she will be responsible for his care for the next few days. Also, thank you for saving his life.”

Qi Yue sized up the woman before her.

Under thirty, maybe nervous, she seemed very restrained.

Qi Yue furrowed her brows.

This did not look much like the wife of a man who had nearly been beaten to death, did it?

Perhaps the couple was not on good terms?

However, this thought was fleeting; other people’s emotional issues were not her concern, and besides, she was only staying for a few days.

She told the woman a few things to be mindful of while taking care of the patient, then had Zhu Ye take her to Song Chongzhen’s room.

With Liao Ye absent and Zhu Ye gone, the hall suddenly contained only her and Song Qiyun, Qi Yue was just about to ask about the progress of the emptying Imperial City case and see if they suspected her.

Before she could speak, Song Qiyun took the initiative.

“Miss Qi, caring for Song Chongzhen’s injuries has troubled you, he was injured on behalf of this Princely Heir, so I had someone bring the consultation fee.”

With that, he clapped his hands three times, and immediately several people came in bearing trays.

The kind of trays used for everyday deliveries, one of which could hold ten ten-tael Gold Ingots.

Eight people, eight trays in total.

Qi Yue glanced at them and immediately felt tempted.

Damn, does Donggao really have such abundant Gold reserves?

So much gold for just a treatment?

It seems Song Qiyun has not forgotten to please her!

She restrained herself and said lightly, “Although it’s a matter of saving a life, it’s not necessary to use so much.”

Upon hearing this, Song Qiyun smiled.

“Miss Qi, this naturally isn’t just the consultation fee for Song Chongzhen. There’s also the gratitude for saving the other seven people.”

Qi Yue immediately understood that Song Qiyun was referring to the seven people she had saved using the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles!

But why was he smiling so slyly?

It was rather uncomfortable.

Speaking of which, if Song Qiyun had always kept his expressionless face as before, she might have thought more highly of him.

Too bad!

She was about to speak when she heard another group of people entering Yimei Garden.

It was Song Lian.

He was followed by two people, who also held two trays as they came in.

The trays were covered with yellow silk, obscuring the contents, but from the subtle curves, Qi Yue guessed they contained either Gold or Silver Ingots.

“Miss Qi!”

Song Lian bowed to her before turning to Song Qiyun.

“I have seen the Princely Heir.”

Seeing Song Lian, Song Qiyun did not seem very pleased and remained silent with a stiff face.

Then Song Lian turned back to Qi Yue.

“Miss Qi, among those who fainted from Poisoned Blood the other day, two were from the Fox King Residence. They are very grateful for your timely rescue, so they have specially prepared the consultation fee. Please do not disdain it.”

With that, he moved forward and uncovered the two trays.

It was rather curious.

In the two plates, ten gold ingots of ten taels each were laid out, just like the ones Song Qiyun had brought.

Qi Yue wanted to laugh but held it back considering the setting.

“Song Lian, it seems your family’s ordinary guards are quite wealthy, being able to bring out a hundred taels of gold just like that?”

Song Lian was taken aback, but he quickly regained his composure and bowed deeply to Qi Yue.

“Miss Qi truly has piercing insight; nothing can be hidden from you.”

He explained somewhat sheepishly, “This was the intention of the Prince, who heard they wanted to express their gratitude to Miss Qi. Considering their personal situations, he decided to have the Fox King Residence cover this expense, after all, the two of them were handling official business.”

Qi Yue nodded.

You have to say, this Song Lian sure knew how to phrase things.

The same matter seemed completely different when he put it.

She smiled slightly and pointed at the seven people standing to the side, “Then your Prince is a step behind, as Princely Heir Qiyun has already covered the medical fees for seven people.”

Song Lian furrowed his brow, unsure of what to say when Song Qiyun, with a smile on his face, spoke out.

“Song Lian, it’s just seven people. Does Uncle differentiate them so clearly? Go back and tell Uncle that this Princely Heir will take care of the Fox King Residence’s two people as well.”

“Princely Heir, that’s not quite appropriate,” Song Lian said with a troubled expression.

It was a plain fact.

If he returned with that message, he would have no way to explain it to the Fox King.

Initially, when he heard that Song Qiyun was delivering the medical fees, he had suggested that the Fox King might as well do the same.

But he hadn’t expected Song Qiyun to be so sly, covering the medical fees for all seven people, clearly currying favor!

Song Qiyun’s face fell cold, “Song Lian, what is your status, to dare speak to this Princely Heir in such a manner?”

This was the supreme power of royalty.

Although Song Lian was a man of the Fox King, he still had to bow his head before the stature of Song Qiyun as the Princely Heir.

“Princely Heir, forgive me, I merely fear the Prince might worry that the Princely Heir is overspending.”

Song Qiyun kept huffing coldly.

“How dare you! Are you implying that Yewang Prefecture cannot afford such a small amount of medical fees?”

Qi Yue watched with great interest.

She too hadn’t expected Song Qiyun to reveal his true nature so quickly, dropping the act.

Seeing Song Lian suppressed into silence, his forehead covered in cold sweat, looking rather pitiful, Qi Yue finally put aside her joking mood, clearing her throat lightly.

“I say, Princely Heir Qiyun, isn’t this a bit too overbearing? Even though you mean well wanting to help, it should be done with others’ consent, right. After all, soliciting medical care is rather inauspicious, and no one wishes to bear that bourne.”

Upon hearing this, Song Lian’s face improved a bit, and he quickly echoed,

“That’s right, Princely Heir.”

Song Qiyun’s expression turned as dark and yellow as a frostbitten eggplant.

Qi Yue was seeing his ugly expression for the first time and couldn’t help but think of Zhao Xiyan.

Compared to these others, he was truly blessed by heaven!

Forever exquisitely beautiful, graceful, peerlessly noble, splendid as orchids and jades, and pale as ivory…

Even when angered, he was still a sight to behold.

…..

With these thoughts, a deep weariness surged within her.

She didn’t want to stay any longer.

Disgusted at having to deal with these people.

Then, Song Lian again stepped forward, asking Qi Yue to accept the medical fees.

“Miss Qi, then I shall report back and take my leave,” he said.

Qi Yue dismissively waved her hand, casting a faint glance at Song Qiyun and Song Lian.

“Please take your people and the medical fees and leave. The duel that day with Qing Nanzun was my own affair, and the resulting casualties should also be charged to my account, thus I will not accept the medical fees.”

“As for Song Chongzhen, when he is well, I will personally collect the medical fees from him. If he really cannot produce the one tael of silver for the medical fees and has to borrow from Princely Heir Qiyun, that too will be his personal affair and none of my concern.”

After saying that, she left the room full of stunned people and returned to the backyard.

She needed to go back and study the map carefully, looking at how to empty both Yewang Prefecture and the Fox King Residence in one night.

This daily arrival of gold and gifts was making her hands itch; she couldn’t help but act.
