Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers-Chapter 335 - : Solving
Chapter 335: Chapter 335: Solving
Outside, the crowd gathered at the entrance of Rishengchang had gradually dispersed.
After listening to Qu Wei’s remarks and with Qi Yue’s reputation as a guarantee, those demanding silver also gradually withdrew.
They knew well that even if Rishengchang was out of silver, as soon as Qi Yue’s medicine factory reopened, silver would flow in like water.
Even if it took a bit longer, they would eventually be able to pay it back.
Thus, everyone agreed to come back in six days with the exchanged notes.
After handling this matter, it was time to deal with the dead.
...
The commoners, unable to see Qi Yue, all retreated with a sense of desolation.
The revered Divine Doctor not appearing meant there was no hope!
It was best to go back and prepare for the funerals!
Soon, on the street where Rishengchang was located, many households had already put up white paper banners, and cries of mourning were heard everywhere.
At a glance, the street was lined with white silk and black paper, full of sorrow.
Hei Lie, Qu Wei, Huang Zai’an, and Shopkeeper Feng, along with the brothers from Rishengchang, were busy moving the bodies of the soldiers, feeling somewhat uneasy themselves.
Huang Zai’an kept flipping the eyelids of the deceased and repeatedly checking the pulse, his expression growing grimmer by the moment.
Qu Wei, unable to hold back, asked, “Doctor Huang, you’ve been examining since morning, have you figured out anything, can they be saved?”
At that moment, Huang Zai’an was not in the mood to quarrel, considering the title Doctor Huang given, he responded with a remark.
“They are dead, truly dead through and through. How can they be saved now!”
Qu Wei then sighed, murmuring, “Can’t even my sister Yueyue do anything?”
Huang Zai’an stroked his beard and shook his head.
“Hard to say, my apprentice is talented, but she is human, not a deity.”
Upon hearing this, Qu Wei chuckled unintentionally, blurting out a phrase.
“That’s not necessarily true.”
At that moment, Hei Lie suddenly turned around, his face stern, “The master said she is human, and she too can die, commanding us to ensure her safety. Mister Qu, since you are the master’s elder brother, you should speak more cautiously. What if, in the end, the master cannot save these people, how then?”
Huang Zai’an also echoed, “Yes, this situation does seem dire. You should refrain from speaking carelessly to avoid inviting trouble.”
Qu Wei, recalling what Qi Yue had said when she left, hurriedly nodded repeatedly.
“I was wrong this time, I won’t dare do it again, please don’t tell sister Yueyue!”
Huang Zai’an and Hei Lie couldn’t be bothered with him, looking at the street full of white, they all heaved sighs.
“This poisoned blood is spreading ferociously. Almost those in the yard who did not enter their houses or those whose doors and windows were not tightly closed have passed away.”
“It’s said that a good number of commoners have died as well, probably around forty to fifty.”
“Ah, what to do? I hope my talented disciple has a way.”
“…”
At the same exact moment, the front hall of the Prefectural Office in Longnan County was filled with officials of varying ranks, all waiting for Chu Yuntian to arrive.
Following the death of the Hu Family father and son, these officials were the happiest.
They gathered to request Chu Yuntian to step forward again, retaking complete control of Longnan County Government, as initially aimed for military governance.
This way, everyone’s rank and benefits could be elevated.
But Chu Yuntian was rather troubled, staying in the backyard and unwilling to appear.
“Master, people have already come to urge you several times, what should we do?”
“Let them wait.”
“Should we ask them to return?” asked Lady Chu, who didn’t understand politics, just thinking of her husband’s hardship, felt sending people away was appropriate.
Chu Yuntian, however, waved his hand.
“No, have them served tea.”
He was well aware of these people’s intentions, which were also his aspirations. Sending them away now could lead to other suspicions.
He just needed some quiet time to be able to go out and meet the guests.
“Master, what exactly is the matter? Aren’t we safe now? What more is there to worry about?”
Chu Yuntian sighed, hesitantly saying, “Madam, Yueyue hasn’t arrived yet, could there be some other issue?”
Lady Chu thought he was worried about Qi Yue and laughed softly.
“In my view, you seem to care about this adopted daughter even more than your own children. You know, she didn’t sleep all night, and considering what happened to Rishengchang, how could she manage it all!”
Chu Yuntian had something to say but ended up just laughing awkwardly.
“I just miss the child a bit. She hasn’t visited, making me feel somewhat estranged as her adopted father.”
What else could he do? He certainly couldn’t mention his concerns about Qi Yue discovering the past incident.
That incident, only three knew of it, and now one of them was dead.

Upon hearing this, Lady Chu shook her head repeatedly.
“I think you are worrying over nothing. Yueyue has been nothing but good to us. After all this time, not only has she had someone secretly protect us, but she also saved us immediately. Such a good child she is, you are being too harsh with your thoughts.”
Chu Yuntian thought about it, realized it was true, and nodded unconsciously, convincing himself.
“Indeed, I heard that there was turmoil all last night, and quite a few died.”
“That’s not all. I heard that early in the morning Rishengchang was surrounded, with everyone clamoring to exchange their Silver Coins. Poor child.”
Lady Chu continued and even wiped away a tear as she spoke.
Chu Yuntian pondered for a moment.
“My lady, how about this? You take 100,000 silver notes from our residence and go see Yueyue?”
Lady Chu nodded repeatedly in agreement.
“That works. I’ve just made some black chicken soup. I’ll bring her a bowl; Yueyue loves it.”
“Perfect, why don’t you go now, and I’ll head to the front hall for some discussions.”
“All right, rest assured, dear.”
Seeing Lady Chu busy preparing the silver notes and the chicken soup, Chu Yuntian felt the turmoil in his heart ease considerably, and he proceeded toward the front hall.
The officials stopped their discussions and rose to greet him upon his arrival.
Each one of them congratulated him, mentioning how the Hu family father and son had finally fallen.
After some pleasantries, everyone took their seats again.
Chu Yuntian learned that the 10,000 who had fled were almost all gathered, street security was gradually restored, and the soldiers stationed at The Great Wall were well-managed. Everything seemed smooth, which pleased him.
He advised everyone to remain vigilant to prevent any of Mrs. Hu’s close associates from causing trouble.
The officials, eager to demonstrate their zeal, offered ideas and advice, fearing to be outdone. Suddenly, the atmosphere became very lively.
In this scene, Chu Yuntian couldn’t help but recall the days when Qi Yunzhang controlled the Longnan County Government.
Back then, though merely a minor official, his sworn brotherhood with Qi Yunzhang ensured his valued presence.
It was just like this moment.
The integration of military and government, power in hand, officials bowing down and obeying commands!
Only now, he was the one seated in the central high position.
…
At Rishengchang, Qi Yue was awoken from a deep sleep by her alarm, turned it off, and continued sleeping.
Yet, her mind gradually cleared up.
The people who had died, the words Hu Keqing left her before dying, slowly surfaced in her mind, making it impossible for her to fall asleep again.
“Such harsh fate!”
She pounded the bed and had no intention of getting up.
Finally, she remembered she was in the Space Mall and thought of the piles of gold, silver, and countless treasures, her adrenaline spiked, and she sprang out of bed, humming a tune as she went to freshen up.
If she really counted, this time travel experience really paid off.
Having space, unlimited silver coins, and access to the Space Mall at her disposal.
Outside, she could summon the wind and rain, even Zhao Xiyan had to obey her!
The most important thing was to act on her own free will, reveling in her victories and grudges!
Where else could she find such days?
Although it had been a bit tough these few days, once things were settled, it would be smooth sailing from then on!
