Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers-Chapter 393 - : She is the Daughter of Qi Yunzhang.

Chapter 393: Chapter 393: She is the Daughter of Qi Yunzhang.

Qin Zhongyu frowned.

“What do you mean by that?!”

Qin Lingwei smiled faintly, her expression one of someone who saw through it all, and spoke slowly.

“Everyone desires power and status, and Zhao Xiyan is no exception. But without honor, he will lose everything.”

“Brother, think about it. If your reputation were tarnished and your name dragged through the mud, would the Emperor pass the throne on to you?”

“It’s the same for Zhao Xiyan. Without his reputation, see if the people of the world would still support him!”

As her real brother, Qin Zhongyu thought about it and roughly understood Qin Lingwei’s plan, immediately knitting his brows.

“Are you planning to falsely accuse Zhao Xiyan of harboring improper designs on you?!”

Qin Lingwei grinned triumphantly.

“Brother, I’ve already inquired about it. That day when you carried me out, many people saw, and I bet they’re all speculating about it now. Why not let this princess spread the word, saying that Zhao Xiyan forced me into his residence and ruined my innocence…”

Before she could finish, her face was met with a fierce slap, and she tumbled to a nearby seat.

When she looked up again, her pale face was swelling with finger-shaped red marks.

“Brother, why did you hit me?!”

“Hit you? I am so angry I could kill you!” Qin Zhongyu glared at her fiercely.

“Are you brainless? What sort of man is Zhao Xiyan? If you want to die, don’t drag me down with you! If you bring calamity upon Western Chu, even the Emperor won’t spare you!”

“I don’t care! I want to marry Zhao Xiyan no matter what!” Qin Lingwei covered her face and wept bitterly, “He’s the only man I want to marry in this life. Having seen him, I can’t forget him anymore. Without him, I will die! Better to take a risk than to die! I refuse to believe Zhao Xiyan will only ever want Yueyue. Once he becomes Emperor, he’ll have to open the imperial harem! As the Western Chu Princess, what am I lacking? Why shouldn’t he like me!”

Qin Zhongyu was so frustrated it was painful, but he was also helpless.

At that moment, he deeply regretted bringing Qin Lingwei out this time.

It was all the Empress Mother’s fault for spoiling her so much—now she was completely out of control!

He ordered the guards to confine Qin Lingwei, forbidding her to leave her room even for a step, until he finished dealing with the matter at hand, and then would take her back!

Qin Lingwei sobbed unceasingly, but could not withstand Qin Zhongyu’s anger, and soon she was restricted.

Meanwhile, Qi Yue and Zhao Xiyan had finished their preparations and were lying in bed, ready to sleep.

As usual, the two would discuss some of the day’s events.

“Husband, what do you think of this Qin Zhongyu?”

“He is quite different from the rumors. Arrogant, yes, but very capable of restraint.”

“Indeed, after the way we treated him that day, it’s surprising he was able to hold back.”

“Yes, it looks like the next Emperor of Western Chu is likely to be him.”

“Husband, what do you think his next move will be?”

“Qin Zhongyu’s aim was to uncover the secret of the hot-air balloon; since we refused him, we’ve effectively pushed him towards Nanyue.”

“Are you scared, husband? Or worried that Qin Zhongyu will promise the Western Chu Princess to the Emperor of Nanyue?! Hahaha…”

“Dare Yueyue say such things? It seems we need to continue switching positions…”

“No, please… I misspoke, okay… ”

“Too late…”

Two days later at noon, the south gate of Longnan County Government was bustling with people. Numerous refugees from different places formed long lines at the settlement points, waiting for resettlement.

But a few of them quietly left the queue halfway through, and after several twists and turns, they quickly vanished without a trace.

Unknown to anyone, one of them, an elderly man with white hair, was the missing Sheng Gong.

Another, a middle-aged woman with braided hair named Sheng Cuihua, was Lin An’s birth mother.

Their secret mission on this infiltration was to get close to Qi Yue.

Guided by a contact, the group swiftly made their way to a humble dwelling within the alleys of the Western Suburbs.

This was considered Nanyue’s liaison point in Longnan County Government, and a family had long been stationed here for this purpose.

“My lord, you have arrived,”

A middle-aged couple who appeared to be husband and wife came forward to greet him, kneeling down respectfully on the ground.

Sheng Gong, without a glance, strode directly into the house. Only after everyone had entered and all the doors and windows were shut did he begin to speak.

“There’s no need for such formalities here, lest our movements are noticed,”

“Yes, my lord,”

“Now, report. How goes the gathering of intelligence?”

“In reply to my lord, after days of investigation, it has been nearly confirmed that the young master disappeared on the day he was at Hu Residence, which is the site of the newly established medicine factory today.”

Upon hearing this, Sheng Gong’s expression hardened, while Sheng Cuihua showed a face full of sorrow.

“Father, has my Lin An been killed by that Zhao family? You must surely avenge my Lin An!”

Sheng Gong frowned deeply, his dry right hand unceasingly stroking his beard, a sinister look gradually emerging on his wrinkled face.

“Search, search thoroughly, whether dead or alive, I must have an explanation!”

“Yes, my lord,”

Several subordinates retreated one by one, and after the door was closed again, only Sheng Gong and his daughter were left in the room.

Sheng Cuihua, who had been in mourning, glanced outside and suddenly her expression changed, stopping her tears.

She actually looked quite relaxed.

“Father, who would have thought that the child we randomly gave to those surnamed Lin back then would be involved with the Zhao family today! We must use this opportunity to utterly destroy the Zhao family!”

“Things are not that simple, we must not act rashly!” Sheng Gong stroked his beard, looking serious, “Although Zhao Xiyan is young, he is extraordinarily talented and not to be underestimated.”

He paused, then his brow twisted.

“And there’s also Qi Yue, the daughter of Qi Yunzhang.”

“Father, are you still worried about Miss Qi?” Sheng Cuihua asked carelessly, curling her lip, “It’s because you said there was something strange about Miss Qi that we went so far to investigate, and we found out that she might be a bit odd, but she’s definitely not difficult to deal with! What else are you worried about?”

Yet, Sheng Gong shook his head.

“Nothing comes from thin air, surely she did something odd for people to say so; we just haven’t discovered it yet.”

Hearing this, Sheng Cuihua also became serious.

“Father, is it possible she has been eliminated by someone?”

“It’s possible. Perhaps the Black Feather Guard has taken action!” Sheng Gong nodded, then sighed.

“…I never expected that in just a few years, Zhao Xiyan would develop the Black Feather Guard to such an extent; no wonder the Grand Tutor is so fond of him!”

Sheng Cuihua snorted coldly.

“That old fool is blind. Would he have ever imagined that Rishengchang and the Black Feather Guard, which had been operated for over a hundred years, would be handed over to a woman as soon as they came into Zhao Xiyan’s hands!”

Sheng Gong frowned.

“This is also my concern, ordinarily, Zhao Xiyan is not that sort of person… From this perspective, Miss Qi might have some exceptional qualities that we do not yet know.”

Sheng Cuihua suddenly sneered.

“Father, while the matter of Lin An is still unresolved, how about I tempt and test her? If she truly has some skills, with my abilities, certainly I could find them out… maybe, we could even capture her…”

Sheng Gong’s face, however, showed he disagreed.

“How to test her? The Black Feather Guard protect her day and night. We mustn’t act if we’re not certain, and if we do, it must be a fatal blow.”

“A fatal blow?” Sheng Cuihua was surprised, “You mean to kill her? Didn’t the Emperor tell us to…”

“Of course not,” Sheng Gong narrowed his eyes, “It’s too early to talk about these things. Let’s first see if there’s a way to get close to these two people!”

“Yes.”
