Chapter 1546: 1546
“Su Qingyue cos from a remote little place called Longwan Town.” A passerby picked up the thread, imdiately getting agreent, “Yes, that’s right, Longwan Town.”
The one who chid in was a strong man, “Let tell you, Su Qingyue isn’t just so ordinary village girl—she’s the world’s number one divine doctor ‘Unnad’! They say her dical 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.” Soone scoffed, “The affair of the Xiao Family’s farr 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 farr is said to have a fourth son with bad legs, unable to walk. If ‘Unnad’ was really that impressive, why couldn’t she cure even the farr’s fourth son?”
“Exactly, I also heard that the Lady of the Xiao Family Head in the capital has angina, and ‘Unnad’ hasn’t cured it either. Looks like ‘Unnad’ might just have an empty reputation…”
Soone 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 ‘Unnad’. That’s considered the deadliest poison, which no one else was able to cure, but they say ‘Unnad’ managed to detoxify it effortlessly…”
“So what?” soone retorted, “Even with dical skill, there are still many diseases that can’t be cured. Besides, in the end, she’s just a village girl skilled in dicine, not even comparable to the legitimate daughter of a first-class family.”
“That’s true…” A lot of people agreed, and then soone 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.”
So people lanted, “A woman who possesses dical 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 sothing you can match with just a bit of money. Speaking of dicine, the Gongsun Family hires imperial doctors as a matter of course.”
“Hmm, tell , if Xiao Yuchuan married Su Qingyue, how could the Gongsun Family still be arranging a marriage with the Xiao Family?” Soone was puzzled. Imdiately, soone 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 soone else’s husband…”
“You shouldn’t speak so carelessly.” Soone nearby beca 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 n shook their heads in agreent.
