The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man
Chapter 1546

Chapter 1546: 1546

"Su Qingyue comes from a remote little place called Longwan Town." A passerby picked up the thread, immediately getting agreement, "Yes, that’s right, Longwan Town."

The one who chimed in was a strong man, "Let me tell you, Su Qingyue isn’t just some ordinary village girl—she’s the world’s number one divine doctor ’Unnamed’! They say her medical skill is so profound that it’s as if she’s possessed by a deity. She’s cured many stubborn diseases that even imperial doctors couldn’t handle."

"I think it’s an exaggeration." Someone scoffed, "The affair of the Xiao Family’s farmer in Wushan Village is well-known; because that farming family produced a legitimate child from a first-class family—Xiao Yuchuan—everyone in the world knows about it. That Xiao Family farmer is said to have a fourth son with bad legs, unable to walk. If ’Unnamed’ was really that impressive, why couldn’t she cure even the farmer’s fourth son?"

"Exactly, I also heard that the Lady of the Xiao Family Head in the capital has angina, and ’Unnamed’ hasn’t cured it either. Looks like ’Unnamed’ might just have an empty reputation..."

Someone disagreed, "What do you know? Last year, the poison from the Seven-Day Soul Breaking Powder that the Pear Blossom Villa Estate Owner encountered was cured by ’Unnamed’. That’s considered the deadliest poison, which no one else was able to cure, but they say ’Unnamed’ managed to detoxify it effortlessly..."

"So what?" someone retorted, "Even with medical skill, there are still many diseases that can’t be cured. Besides, in the end, she’s just a village girl skilled in medicine, not even comparable to the legitimate daughter of a first-class family."

"That’s true..." A lot of people agreed, and then someone added, "It’s said that Su Qingyue is a legendary woman too. She didn’t just single-handedly lift the heavy burden of debt plaguing the Xiao Family’s farming family, but she’s also a fierce woman. Even though she was bought to be a co-wife, she stubbornly refused and married the third son of that household instead. It’s said she made a fortune trading in Longwan Town. Even the cakes sold at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion were a delicious food she concocted, and she receives dividends from those cake sales at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion. Too bad her husband’s true identity turned out to be the heir of the Xiao’s First-Class Family in the capital."

Some people lamented, "A woman who possesses medical skills, can make money and delicious food, and stays loyal to her husband during his poverty—it’s impossible to find such a woman anywhere else in the world."

"What’s the use of being excellent?" The sighs in the crowd multiplied, "It’s just her bad luck that she was born too humble. No matter how competent she is, she can’t be compared with the Gongsun Family—aristocracy. The Gongsun Family’s power is not something you can match with just a bit of money. Speaking of medicine, the Gongsun Family hires imperial doctors as a matter of course."

"Hmm, tell me, if Xiao Yuchuan married Su Qingyue, how could the Gongsun Family still be arranging a marriage with the Xiao Family?" Someone was puzzled. Immediately, someone explained, "Here’s the thing, the one betrothed to Gongsun Qianru was an impostor claiming to be the Xiao heir, Xiao Jingyuan, but that impostor is dead now. Naturally, the real heir is the one getting married to the Gongsun Family."

"So, it turns out that Gongsun Qianru stole someone else’s husband..."

"You shouldn’t speak so carelessly." Someone nearby became nervous, "The Gongsun Family is powerful and influential; saying such things could get you into trouble. Besides, the Gongsun Family didn’t know the real heir was already married. It’s said that Su Qingyue couldn’t bear Xiao Yuchuan wanting to divorce her to remarry, so in a fit of rage, she killed her husband. Now, Xiao Yuchuan is still lying in bed."

"To kill even her own husband, such a woman is too ruthless, not deserving of sympathy. It’s better she was divorced." A group of men shook their heads in agreement.
