The Fallen Medicine Woman: The Daily Life of Chun Nuan-Chapter 178 - 139: One of Us

"The internal strife within wealthy families is truly terrifying." Zhao Minghua slowly sipped her tea, "This Xiao Chunqing is really clever."

"A concubine’s daughter who can make a name for herself in the rear courtyard shouldn’t be underestimated." Chun Nuan nodded, "I never thought I owe her a favor."

Even Zhao Minghua didn’t expect that the biggest assistance behind this smoothly executed affair was actually Xiao Chunqing.

No matter how many precautions you take, it’s hard to guard against a thief in your own family!

Of course, Xiao Chunqing wasn’t ruthless enough. If she were ruthless, she would have ended it once and for all.

"She’s quite smart. Xiao Chunlan, who has become mute, can’t do anything, and now that she’s been sent to be watched over at her estate, there will be no more disturbances."

"Why didn’t she just end it all at once?"

"Women, you see, always have a bit of that competitive desire." Speaking of this, Zhao Minghua felt she understood well, "All along, Xiao Chunlan enjoyed the treatment of a young lady within the Xiao family and became very arrogant, treating her concubine sisters poorly, especially Xiao Chunqing, who is half a year younger."

It turned out that Xiao Chunqing looked like her aunt, with beautiful features, and coupled with her gentle temperament, she was liked by everyone above and below. Even Xiao Changfa held her in high regard.

As the legitimate daughter, Xiao Chunlan couldn’t allow anyone to overshadow her, so she constantly found faults and tormented Xiao Chunqing.

"Xiao Chunqing’s aunt wasn’t very bright and was often used by others, which dragged Xiao Chunqing down." Zhao Minghua said, "Otherwise, Xiao Chunqing’s status would have risen even higher, possibly surpassing Xiao Chunlan."

How could one allow others to sleep peacefully beneath one’s own bed?

Xiao Chunlan wasn’t very bright either, yet she constantly tormented Xiao Chunqing.

"Xiao Chunqing left her a small life, most likely to make her watch how well she lives."

This is exactly what they call a psychological blow without killing.

She took your position, married a man you didn’t want, and yet lived an exhilarating life, happily flaunting it before you, with Xiao Chunlan, confined at a distant estate, not missing a moment of Xiao Chunqing’s happiness.

"You do seem to understand well." Chun Nuan looked at Zhao Minghua and laughed.

"Ah, boasting like an old fox for centuries, I know their tricks well." Zhao Minghua said, "It’s always the same routine."

"Then what do you think is the root cause?"

"Taking concubines, having concubine-born sons and daughters." Zhao Minghua quickly said, "But rest assured, our Zhao family’s traditions absolutely do not allow taking concubines, so our family won’t have these issues in the future."

Chun Nuan’s face reddened again.

This person, speaking and suddenly becoming a bit improper.

The matter with Xiao Chunlan seemed to have come to a close, it was also a revenge for her grandmother.

That night, when she went back, she wrote letters to her elder sister and relatives in the Northern Desert, detailing the causes and effects.

Indeed, she believed everything should have an explanation.

After drying the ink, Chun Nuan read through the two letters again to ensure they could understand, then sealed them.

Now just waiting for Tang Liu to return and exchange them.

What Chun Nuan didn’t expect was that Tang Liu came the very next day, accompanied by an important figure: Master Zhou Qi.

"Please come in, Master Zhou Qi." Chun Nuan had no idea what kind of wind blew today, making this eccentric master personally visit the small village, which made her heart race with a bit of concern, "I wonder what brings Master Zhou Qi here."

"Hahaha, it’s the east wind, the east wind." Master Zhou Qi laughed heartily, "Chun Nuan, congratulations, congratulations."

Congratulations?

Where does the joy come from?

Is it to celebrate her grandmother’s passing?

Indeed, with the old lady gone, aside from the family’s relatives missing her, outsiders would see nothing unusual.

So it’s normal that Master Zhou Qi couldn’t tell.

Seeing his joyful expression, Chun Nuan didn’t know where to start.

"Please have some tea, Master Zhou Qi." Chun Nuan personally poured him a cup of tea, and another for Tang Liu, "Sixth Brother, have some tea."

"Ah, thank you, thank you." Tang Liu was genuinely flattered, "By the way, I haven’t congratulated the young lady yet, there’s a big joy at your home."

Another joy? 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Chun Nuan wondered if there was some new development on her elder sister’s side or a big new order, but Tang Liu didn’t bring out the letter for her to see.

Every time they went to the Capital, Chun Nuan eagerly awaited this family letter.

Since he didn’t bring it out, Chun Nuan could only take out her own letter.

"I wonder when Master Zhou Qi’s caravan will return to the Capital; Chun Nuan has this exclusive store family letter that needs help being delivered to my elder sister."

"No rush, no rush, let’s read your family letter first." After saying this, Master Zhou Qi took out a family letter from his coat, "Quick, look, there’s a joyful event, a big joyful event."
