Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers-Chapter 201: Organizing Kung Fu.
Chapter 201 -201: Organizing Kung Fu.
Zhang Popo was always silent, doing whatever was told without objection, while Qu Wei tended to be more talkative, determined to press on until she got to the bottom of every doubt.
As they got into the carriage, Qu Wei started bombarding with questions.
“Sister, why are you in such a hurry to go back? Didn’t you say you wanted to check on Shen Zikuang?”
“We need to go back first, we have guests waiting!”
Qu Wei was somewhat puzzled, “Guests? What guests? How do you know if you haven’t gone back?”
Qi Yue snorted coldly.
“You’ve wasted half a day snooping around, don’t you ever use your brain?”
Qu Wei flipped his fan in frustration and said dejected, “Is it me not using my brain? Or is it you, whose brain works too fast, disrupting my enthusiasm? Since you’ve thought of everything, isn’t it superfluous for me to think at all?”
Qi Yue’s pupils contracted.
How did she end up with such a brother?!
Truly a long story.
Shaking her head, she turned her gaze to Zhang Popo who had remained silent and respectful throughout the conversation.
“Nanny Zhang, based on the current situation, do you have any thoughts?”
Zhang Popo moved her lips, and seeing Qi Yue looking at her expectantly, she immediately perked up.
“Miss, the old servant does have some thoughts!”
“Speak.”
Zhang Popo leaned forward in her seat before she began her account.
“The old servant agrees with miss’s words, someone must be waiting for us at Linjiang Pavilion now, and that person is the one who secretly attacked Master Shen and is manipulating Dongjiang Pharmaceutical.”
“Clap clap clap…”
Indeed, the nanny of Donggao’s once most prominent family had not lost her analytical and perceptive abilities.
What Zhang Popo had said was exactly what Qi Yue had been thinking.
Qi Yue smiled and clapped her hands in approval.
“Nanny Zhang, you truly give me a new level of respect!”
Throughout the entire event, someone in the shadows had been steering its direction.
It started with the impediment to the promotion of the finished medicines, followed by pressuring Shen Zikuang to give up control of the pharmaceutical factory, and then wounding him.
And the person behind all this knew she would definitely take action, so they waited quietly for the right moment.
As soon as there was a slight improvement in Shen Zikuang’s condition, they immediately spread her fame as the Divine Doctor, seizing the opportunity to promote the finished medicine to the public and gain widespread acceptance.
Each move was a leverage of another’s force.
If her suspicions were correct, the person behind this all definitely had a ring leader responsible for matters on the surface, while Shen Zikuang’s two younger brothers and their backers were likely accomplices.
She herself had just come to realize all this, and Zhang Popo had too.
“It’s all thanks to miss giving opportunities and taking the old servant out to gain experience!” said Zhang Popo, bashfully lowering her head with a flushed face.
“Don’t worry, in the future, I plan to make good use of Nanny Zhang!”
“Thank you, Miss!”
Qu Wei, seeing the two engage in an enthusiastic conversation, felt a bit indignant.
“Hey, who do you two think you are looking down on? I don’t believe anyone will be waiting at Linjiang Pavilion!”
Qi Yue chuckled with a snort.
“Then what would you suggest? How about a bet?”
“Bet on what?” Qu Wei opened his fan with flair, waving it in a flurry.
Qi Yue disdainfully shifted to one side.
“It’s simple, if there is indeed someone waiting at Linjiang Pavilion, you’ll work for me for free for a year.”

Upon hearing this, Qu Wei immediately laughed.
“And if there isn’t anyone waiting? Sister, you’ll have to let me command you for a year.”
Qi Yue’s lips twitched, and she gave Qu Wei a sidelong glance.
This big brother sure had lofty ambitions, wanting to command her?
Why didn’t he just dream on!
She laughed coldly in her heart but smiled outwardly.
“Fine, we’ll do as you say!”
Hearing her agreement, Qu Wei was overjoyed and hurriedly urged the coachman to go faster.
The coachman was specifically assigned to Qi Yue by Linjiang Pavilion, very loyal and honest. Upon hearing the command, he immediately whipped the horses into a faster pace, and in no time, the carriage stopped on the small path in front of Linjiang Pavilion.
Qu Wei got off the carriage with a delighted expression, and seeing no one waiting around, he immediately felt joyful.
“Little sister, just wait to lose!”
Qi Yue just hummed indifferently, not engaging in conversation.
As they were about to step onto the path, suddenly someone emerged from the carriage beside them and shouted loudly.
“Divine Doctor Qi, please wait!”
When the three of them turned to look, they saw an old man with a goatee hurrying over, his face brimming with a smile as he greeted them with cupped hands.
“Divine Doctor Qi, we’ve finally been looking forward to your return, and it hasn’t been in vain that I’ve been waiting here for so long!”
Hearing this, Qu Wei’s brows throbbed, while Qi Yue smiled with profound meaning.
“May I know which gentleman from the Magistrate’s office this is? I’m afraid I don’t recognize you.”
The goatee-bearded old man immediately gave a bow.
“I am Ma Qun, the steward of Old Master Ma.”
Ma Renfeng?
Qi Yue raised her eyebrows.
She had not expected that the person playing tricks behind the scenes was actually this old fox?
In Dongjiang, Ma Renfeng’s name was quite well-known.
However, his notoriety was different from others’, mostly known because of the overwhelming brilliance of Shen Zikuang.
Before Shen Zikuang had taken over from his father, Ma Renfeng and Shen Wanzhen were evenly matched rivals in Dongjiang’s medicinal materials circle, each dominating their own territory.
But since Shen Zikuang took over the Shen Family, Ma Renfeng had not gained any advantage.
In every competition between the two families, Ma Renfeng, who was already in his fifties, always ended up being suppressed.
After more than a decade, Dongjiang had seemingly forgotten the Ma Family, leaving only the Shen Family.
Although Qi Yue already had an understanding of the situation, she still pretended to be utterly bewildered.
“Oh, Steward Ma, what brings you to seek me? I don’t seem to have any dealings with the Ma Family, do I?”
Ma Qun gave a sleazy smile, his goatee twitching.
“Divine Doctor Qi, I came precisely for this matter. My master would like to discuss a collaboration on finished medicines with you!”
“Oh.” Qi Yue feigned surprise, casting an inquiring glance at Nanny Zhang, “A collaboration on finished medicines? If I’m not mistaken, that deal seems to have already been made, hasn’t it?!”
Nanny Zhang immediately understood and bowed, saying, “Yes, miss, the deal on finished medicines has already been settled with the eldest young master of the Shen Family.”
“Right, I knew I couldn’t have remembered wrong,” Qi Yue nodded, looking apologetically towards Ma Qun, “I’m sorry, please convey to your master that we’ll find an opportunity to collaborate next time.”
Having said that, without further delay, she headed straight up the path towards Linjiang Building, leaving Ma Qun standing there, dumbstruck.
“Divi— Divine Doctor Qi, I haven’t finished speaking…..”
Whether you have finished speaking or not, Qi Yue snorted coldly in her heart and quickened her pace.
She wondered what leverage the Ma Family had with their mere ten percent share to discuss a collaboration with her.
Or could it be, there were more people behind this aside from just the Ma Family?
Soon the three of them returned to their residence. Qi Yue habitually entered the house, intending to go into her space to sort out her chaotic thoughts.
However, just as she was pushing the door open, her arm was caught by Qu Wei.
Qi Yue looked at the hand that grabbed her with cold eyes, and in an instant, she took out a knife from her bosom.
Qu Wei quickly retracted his hand in fright.
“Little sister, can you please not be so scary? I’m your big brother after all.”
“Men and women are not supposed to touch each other, you should feel lucky, if you weren’t acknowledged as my big brother, you would have no hand by now.”
Qi Yue indifferently put the knife back into her bosom, actually sending it into her space.
“What do you want?”
Qu Wei watched as Qi Yue placed the knife back into her bosom, but visually nothing seemed to change, and he couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
“Little sister, what kind of kung fu is this? Teach me, my fan always falls off too easily when strapped to my belt.”
Qi Yue frowned.
Her big brother’s observation skills had improved.
Seems it’s better to be a bit dumber after all!
“It’s a storage skill, if you learn it you’ll turn into a woman, do you still want to learn?”
Hearing this, Qu Wei waved his hands repeatedly, “Then forget it.”
“So, what’s the reason you stopped me? Speak quickly.” Qi Yue was getting impatient, she still had to feed White Rhino!
Qu Wei slapped his forehead, “Ah, how could I have forgotten such an important matter. Damn.”
