Becoming the Villain's Discarded Wife

Chapter 381: Chapter 381: Qing Fenghan, Thousand Gold Wine

"She is a very remarkable woman," the second-in-command honestly confessed.

Qing Fenghan could not attain any prosperity before.

It was after she came that it gradually transformed into what it is today.

What a pity that she left Big Brother and Yuanbao heartlessly.

Noticing no resentment or discomfort on his face, Shen Wenchen asked a question.

"May I ask, what’s her surname?"

The second-in-command didn’t expect him to ask about that. He looked at him in surprise before he spoke, "Ming Qin."

Looking at Yueyue, whose face had improved after the medicinal bath, Nanzhi finally felt a weight off her heart.

Thankfully, the young girl didn’t get into any trouble.

After the medicinal bath, the sun already set, only leaving a thin strip of orange line at the horizon.

Chi Sheng and his brothers had gone back to the stronghold. He wasn’t in a hurry to go there after hearing that Yuanbao and Xiaoqi had returned. He simply had a feast prepared, waiting for them to finish their work.

After drinking the medicinal soup, Yueyue’s complexion improved visibly.

Xiaoqi, outside the house, couldn’t hide his surprise when he saw Yueyue walking out by herself.

"Big Brother," Yueyue greeted him with a sweet smile, reaching out her hand to him.

Xiaoqi’s eyes moistened as he tightly embraced her.

When Yueyue first arrived, she could go to the mountains with the aunties to pick wild vegetables. However, as her illness worsened, she could only stay in the small courtyard, occasionally coming out to take walks and sunbathe.

Starting from a year ago, Yueyue could barely walk, and spent most of her time in the house. Every time he went to visit, he would find her looking pale, gazing at him weakly.

"Yueyue."

Xiaoqi’s voice trembled with tears, just stopped his crying when the tears welled up again.

At least, at least he still has family.

"Big Brother, don’t cry. I’m fine now," Yueyue gently patted his back. Her voice was soft but no longer weak.

Yuanbao stood to the side, feeling a bit confused, only staring at them speechlessly.

"Yuanbao."

As soon as Chi Sheng entered the courtyard, he saw his little girl standing alone. He rushed over to pick her up.

"Daddy, I found the ginseng. Sister Yueyue can get better now."

Little Yuanbao whispered.

"Our Yuanbao is the best," Chi Sheng ruffled her face, pride shone on his face.

It would be a lie to say he was not scared before, but now he needs to comfort the child.

After all, this little girl hasn’t been calling Yueyue little sister anymore, and probably cares less about Xiaoqi than before.

As a father, he was secretly glad about it.

He had thought at first that what the old Daoist said was nonsense, but his brothers believed it.

When Yuanbao insisted on acknowledging her mother, he only thought it was because she had been motherless since she was young. So he went along with it.

But he did not believe that looking for a husband and mother could save the village.

Chi Sheng didn’t stay for long before leading them to his courtyard.

The table in the main hall was set with a banquet, only then did Chi Sheng put down Yuanbao.

"My daughter Yuanbao has been a bother these few days. Please, no need for formalities, treat this as your own home," Chi Sheng said as everyone sat down.

"This toast is to Brother Shen, thank you for your troubles," Chi Sheng said as he poured a cup of wine.

Shen Wenchen was named, so he picked up his wine cup and stood up.

"You’re too kind, Brother Chi."

After a gulp of the wine, a look of surprise flashed across Shen Wenchen’s face.

He had drunk this wine at Three Flavors restaurants before.

It was the Thousand Gold Wine of Xu, the elder brother.

Where did this Qing Fenghan come from?

Seeing him lost in thought after drinking the wine, Chi Sheng assumed he was savoring the wine, thus he asked with a smile," Brother Shen, how’s the wine?"

"Very good," Shen Wenchen nodded honestly. As a warrior, drinking with his comrades was a common occurrence, and there were few wines that could compare to this Thousand Gold Wine.

"May I know where this wine was bought?"

The second-in-command chuckled confidently, "Shen does not know, we brewed this wine ourselves. We just opened the jar today, lucky for us, we are able to serve it for the guests."

Shen Wenchen couldn’t help but find it strange.

Nannan told him that this Thousand Gold Wine was Xu’s family’s secret recipe, so how could Qing Fenghan brew it?

Sensing something off, Nanzhi picked up the wine cup and took a sip.

"Is this...Thousand Gold wine?"

"How did you know, Miss Lin?"

Chi Sheng looked strange.The recipe for Thousand Gold Wine was brought back last time, and Old Master Xu said that this wine should have disappeared after he left home.

"One of the chefs at our restaurant, his family sells this Thousand Gold wine."

A good portion of the daily earnings from Three Flavors Restaurant comes from selling this wine.

Chi Sheng and the second-in-command exchanged glances, baffled.

"Miss Lin, is the cook’s surname Xu?"

Xiaoqi suddenly broke the silence in the hall.

"Yes."

Xiaoqi pursed his lips before asking again, "Is the cook over forty years old and lives in Niuniu Village?"

Nanzhi seemed to understand something, finding it incredible. Could it be....could it be that Xu Chou’s father didn’t die?

Xu Chou once said that the recipe for this wine was brought from Kyoto by his mother, and no one should know about it except his parents.

But his father left home when he was not yet born and never returned.

He always thought his father was dead.

"Yes."

By this point, everyone at the table, except Yuanbao and the old man, was somewhat stunned.

Chi Sheng never thought Xu’s son would still be alive, and coincidentally working for Yuanbao’s godmother.

When he visited Niuniu Village with Xiaoqi, he only met Mrs. Xu, and the villagers told him their child had died. He also told Old Master Xu the same when they returned.

But he didn’t expect that there would be a twist in this matter.

The second-in-command immediately sent someone to bring Old Master Xu. Most villagers of Qing Fenghan are farmers, and without Old Master Xu’s wine recipe, the money they earned would not be enough for everyone in the village to settle down.

Now that Old Master Xu’s son is alive, it’s best if they can meet.

Nanzhi was a little nervous in her heart, but Shen Wenchen merely held her hand lightly, comforting her to relax.

When Old Master Xu arrived, the baffled expression hadn’t faded from his face. As soon as he saw the people sitting in the main hall, he knelt down with a thump.

"Boss, Tie Niu told me, there’s news about my son, is it true?"

The old man’s face was lined with wrinkles, his cloudy eyes full of red veins. His body trembled slightly as he spoke, looking so pitiful.

"Old Master Xu, please get up," Chi Sheng quickly helped him up.

"Boss, my child, how... how is he?"

Cryings and sobs filled Old Master Xu’s voice. His aged face was wet with tears.

He was already in his sixties, considered long-lived, but he had never seen his own child!
