Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers

Chapter 29: Almost Became a Love-Obsessed Fool!

In her previous life, Qi Yue had grown up amidst the spittle and vilification of others from her teenage years; there was no scenario she hadn’t seen.

Faced with gossip of this magnitude, she might as well have been deaf.

But Shen Yu couldn’t sit still. She would quietly give food to that woman; whenever the Zhao Family stewed chicken soup, she always saved a bowl for her.

She thought Qi Yue didn’t notice, but from early on, none of this had escaped Qi Yue’s eyes.

Qi Yue not only didn’t stop her but also deliberately added medicinal herbs that replenished qi and nourished the blood to the bowl, and whenever she stewed chicken soup, she would catch an extra bird.

On the third day, the exile procession had already entered deep into the Dayuan Uninhabited Area.

The continuous mountains stretched on, and if it weren’t for Guan Yidao’s year-round familiarity with this route, he would have led everyone astray.

That evening, the group stopped to rest again.

The government officials, as usual, carried the moldy sack of steamed buns, distributing them one by one.

One for each person, all of them stale.

The exiles had grievances but dared not express them.

By this point, whatever silver they had brought with them had been spent; without money, they could only eat this.

Of course, there were a few who had prepared somewhat better.

And naturally, the most prepared was the Zhao Family.

The last time in Yuezhou, Qi Yue had bought a horse-cart full of items – food, essentials, pots, rice, flour, and more.

Moreover, she could always wander around for a while, pretending to have hunted prey when in reality, she pulled a few chickens or rabbits out of her space.

Sometimes, by the river, one could find ducks and fish.

It just so happened that today’s location was inconvenient.

As far as the eye could see within ten miles, there were no woods, no river, only stones and gravel.

She had originally planned to settle for cooking porridge, but then she saw the frail members of the Zhao Family, and the woman with the bulging belly who seemed to have no food. Qi Yue gritted her teeth and walked into the mountains again.

There were no chickens in this place, pigs? That also seemed unlikely.

Qi Yue let her awareness drift through the space, looking for something she could take out.

Her gaze landed in the direction of the sheep pen, and she had an idea.

Sheep were good.

Although somewhat heat-inducing, they were replenishing.

Especially suitable for those weak in body and deficient in qi and blood, or for women during childbirth!

With her mind made up, she pulled a mountain goat straight from the space, pretending she had found it, broke its leg, and easily carried it away.

A few hundred meters from her, a dozen men in black were hiding behind a boulder, peering in her direction.

“Did you see that? Remember this woman, and when you make your move, don’t go easy on her!”

“Pay attention to what she’s doing. Aren’t we supposed to capture that masked man?”

“Nonsense, capture the man first, then the woman!”

“Oh, big brother, are you sure that’s the woman Mr. Qian described?”

“Positive. Height, appearance, strength, it all matches. The only discrepancy is her build; she’s not as plump. But it’s definitely her. Apart from her, no woman would leave the team to go into the mountains alone!”

“True. Hey, are there sheep in these mountains?”

“What are you dreaming about? We’ve been here for two days; have you seen any living creature?”

“But didn’t that woman just catch a sheep?”

“That damn woman’s luck is also good, finding a sheep in such a place!”

“…”

The dozen or so men continued to murmur softly. Qi Yue, who had walked some distance away, seemed to sense something.

She looked back, puzzled.

“Where is that insect repellent smell coming from?”

She brought the sheep to the resting area and tossed it to Zhao Yonglian for processing.

She was a doctor, meant to save lives and heal the wounded, not to take life!

She had just planned to refill her spare water jug with Spiritual Spring Water when Shen Yu came over with a giggly smile.

“Yueyue, today you hunted a Bai Shalong; that’s really impressive!”

So they called sheep Bai Shalong in this place, how fancy!

Qi Yue slightly squinted her eyes, looking at the ingratiating smile on Shen Yu’s face, and pretty much guessed what she was about to say.

“Mm, got lucky and found it.”

“Yueyue, this Baishalong is so big, and with the weather being hot, we can’t finish it in one meal, how should we preserve it?”

“This lamb…oh, the Bai Shalong meat is tender and fresh, not suitable for preserving. Give a portion to Commander Guan, and the rest, let Mother decide how to divide it. Doesn’t Mother also have several close girlfriends?”

In the deportation team, there were also a few with good conduct, and Qi Yue was willing to look after them a bit.

Upon hearing this, a huge smile immediately bloomed on Shen Yu’s face.

“Ai, alright. I knew it, my Yueyue has a chilly exterior but a warm heart.”

“I do not,” Qi Yue retorted, a bit embarrassed, “Didn’t Mother say we can’t finish it?”

“Oh my Yueyue, you stop trying to fool Mother,” Shen Yu said with a triumphant face, leaning in close and whispering, “The Baishalong was caught for Cong Zhonglan, right? Mother saw it all, you, always speaking so harshly, yet still secretly delivering medicine.”

Qi Yue’s face blazed with heat all of a sudden.

This shrewd mother-in-law, with eyes so sharp and a mouth so poisonous?

She tried to avert her eyes in panic, hoping to conceal her guilt, but unexpectedly met the gaze of a black mask.

Even though the eyes behind the mask were as black as the mask itself, Qi Yue still felt a sense of pleasure.

Zhao Xiyan was smiling!

This guy wasn’t sleeping? How long had he been eavesdropping from inside the carriage?

Wait, why was he taking off the mask? Who was he trying to seduce?

His phoenix eyes lifted, thin lips slightly curled, like a lotus under the moonlight, a picture-perfect vision.

This celestial beauty, one glance was worth more than all the uncountable gold and silver in her space!

Qi Yue was almost spellbound!

“Yueyue~”

Calling her Yueyue again?

This bewitching man, his voice was so pleasant, was he trying to bewitch souls?

Qi Yue’s heart almost skipped a beat, yet she couldn’t help but move closer to the carriage.

“You, what’s wrong?”

Her expression was tense, but her heart was pounding!

Over these days, she realized she was not only highly auditory-controlled but had also been bewitched by Zhao Xiyan’s beauty.

As soon as this man spoke up, combined with his flawless looks, she couldn’t hold herself back!

Her initially icy persona crumbled in an instant!

She was nearly turning into a lovestruck fool!

“Heh, just looking at you.”

Zhao Xiyan chuckled lightly, his voice teasing with hint of intimacy, making Qi Yue feel like her eardrums were about to cramp.

What?

This despicable man hollered for her just to take a look?

His earlier aloof demeanor was all an act!

Qi Yue was completely fooled!

No wonder he’s the Marquis, even bedridden he’s in the mood for flirting!

“You you you, why are you like this!”

Despite being reincarnated, deep down she was still a pure young girl!

Seeing her eyes round with anger, about to flip out, Zhao Xiyan actually wanted to laugh even more.

But he quickly held it back and put on a stern face.

“You’ve misunderstood, I have something important to tell you!”

Seeing his serious expression, Qi Yue believed him without a second thought, convinced he really had something important to say.

She didn’t even realize that every word and movement from Zhao Xiyan had complete influence and control over her.

“Ah, what is it?”

“Come closer, it’s very important!”

“Oh.”

“Closer…”
