“How is he?” she raised an eyebrow, suddenly smiling.

He would surely say, “Not telling you, right?”

A flash of surprise crossed Yinzhu’s eyes.

“Young Lady, you’re truly smart.

That’s what the son-in-law said.”

Yinzhu helped Su Qingyue get dressed and combed her hair.

Su Qingyue’s body had suffered greatly.

Although she had been treated with medicine and didn’t feel the unbearable sensation of having her bones knocked out, her body was still sore.

Fortunately, after getting some sleep and regaining her strength, she felt it was within tolerable limits.

After washing up, she stepped out of her room and glanced toward the kitchen.

Xiao Yuchuan was in there, frying vegetables, and from the chimney rose cooking smoke.

Seeing Su Qingyue’s figure, he revealed a smile even brighter than usual, “Wife, you’re awake.

The food will be ready soon; it’s time for dinner.”

His tone was light-hearted, as if nothing had happened.

“Hmph,” she snorted coldly and turned to walk outside the courtyard.

He hastily dropped the spatula and ran after her.

“Wife, where are you going?”

He tried to reach out and hold her but realized his body was weak.

He could only watch helplessly as she walked out the main gate and quickly called out, “Yinzhu!”

“Your servant is here,” Yinzhu ran over.

“Follow Qingyue.”

“Yes.” It wasn’t long before Yinzhu returned.

“Son-in-law, your servant went outside the Mansion gate but didn’t see the young Lady…”

His wife had poisoned him just now, and although he took the antidote he had prepared, he discovered it couldn’t counteract the poison she used.

The smile on the corner of his lips was both bitter and indulgent.

Even he didn’t know when his wife had poisoned him.

It meant that his medical skill was nowhere near hers, and when it came to the art of poisoning, he was far outclassed.

He could tell his wife wasn’t simply someone who had gained such proficiency by studying medical books.

Instead, she was someone who had been studying medicine for many years.

Yet she was the very same woman purchased from the Zhu Family.

He couldn’t see through her.

This night and half a day he had taken his wife to the brink of death, but it was she who had shown mercy.

Otherwise…

Even with his rapid progress, he was no match for her.

Xiao Yuchuan took another pill and was finally able to move.

He immediately ordered, “Split up and search for Qingyue.”

“Yes.”

…

At the Rich Source Tavern, as soon as Su Qingyue appeared outside the lobby, diners at several tables turned to look at her.

All of them had a look of amazement in their eyes.

The tavern’s Manager Duan hurried over.

“It turns out to be Miss Su, Su Qingyue.

.co

Do you have more business you wish to discuss with me?”

“I’m here to eat.

I want a seat in a street-facing private room or an elegant seat on the second floor.”

Manager Duan personally led the way.

“Please, upstairs.”

“Shopkeeper, bring all my dishes up to the second floor; I want to sit at the table next to Miss Su…” A diner in the lobby immediately said.

“Shopkeeper, get me some dessert, a pot of good tea…”

It wasn’t just the diners in the lobby who wanted to change their seats.

Passersby outside also began to enter the restaurant.

Manager Duan remembered the time around the new year when she had stayed at the Longyuan Inn.

The inn was fully booked every day, and as soon as she arrived, she immediately attracted so many guests.

So, he had intended to lead her into the elegant seat in the upstairs lobby, where people could see her as soon as they came up.

Su Qingyue headed into a street-facing private room that was empty.

“Miss Su, didn’t you say an elegant seat would do as well?” Manager Duan thought if she went into the private room and closed the door, the other guests wouldn’t be able to see her.

“Could it be that this private room is reserved?”
