Chapter 97: A Thorough Glow Up 7
After seeing the carriage for himself, Ma Sanye, along with everyone else, walked up to the carriage.
The well-dressed young man did not seem to notice them though; he only had eyes for Qi Qingyao.
“Hello, Lady Qi.”
“Li Qing, it’s you.”
Qi Qingyao was truly in no mood to laugh. Who knew what the man ca here for? She introduced Li Qing to Ma Sanye with a fake smile, “Village Chief, this is Li Qing, the Heir’s personal guard.”
Ma Sanye bowed in deference.
The other villages followed suit. They dared not show any disrespect to an imperial officer from the Heir’s mansion.
Li Qing greeted Ma Sanye casually.
Qi Qingyao asked, “Why are you here?”
Li Qing said, “The Heir ordered to co here as he has so questions to ask you.”
Those words were enough for Ma Sanye, who caught on to so of the main points. He asked hurriedly, “Are you from the Heir’s mansion?”
“Yes. Is there a problem with that?” Li Qing replied flatly.
Ma Sanye’s gaze landed on the carriage and the flags on it with the Heir’s last na, and he quickly answered, “Nothing, nothing at all.”
Soone else in the crowd could not help but voice out loud the question that was on everyone’s mind.
“Did Eleventh Daughter—no, Qi Qingyao—really treat the Heir with just a prescription?”
Li Qing paused for a while before he said, “Yes. The prescription was issued by the Divine Physician Su Hexiao. She signed the sheet of paper too.”
After he said that, everyone’s doubt dissipated. The villagers and Ma Sanye looked at Qi Qingyao with admiration in their eyes.
Calmly, Li Qing continued to give them more proof. “Who else in the continent, aside from the Divine Physician Su Hexiao, could heal our Heir?”
Everyone was speechless. Was Eleventh Daughter really so lucky as to et Su Hexiao?
“Miss Qi was really fortunate to have t Su Hexiao. It’s definitely because of her kindness.”
Li Qing did not care about what the ignorant villagers thought. Instead, he asked Qi Qingyao aningfully, with a smile on his face, “The Heir wanted to ask you whether you t Su Hexiao again after that.”
“No,” Qi Qingyao answered with a fake smile.
The conversation between them completely dismissed the villagers’ doubts, Zhang Tieyuan’s included.
His jaw was slack as he stared at Qi Qingyao, not knowing how to react.
The other villagers started apologizing to Qi Qingyao.
“The Divine Physician Su Hexiao…”
“I’m sorry Eleventh Daughter, we misunderstood you.”
“We thought that you…”
“We knew that no one would want a concubine with three children!”
“You didn’t want to reveal Su Hexiao’s identity, so you were hesitant. Now we know.”
Qi Qingyao did not reply them. She rely said, “Sorry everyone. Now that we’ve cleared up the misunderstanding between us, I’m going to send Imperial Guard Li off.”
The villagers did not dare tag along.
Qi Qingyao gave Li Qing a look and the two of them headed to the carriage together.
On the way, Qi Qingyao asked, “You ca to investigate , didn’t you?”
Li Qing could not help but laugh.
He coughed slightly. “You’ve misunderstood, Miss Qi. He had investigate you the mont you revealed your true na to him.”
“…” Right. That made sense.
Li Qing continued, “The Heir figured that you’d have a hard ti explaining where you got the extra money from after you returned to the village, so he sent along.”
“Oh.” As expected of Heir Pei!
“Please be assured that we won’t disclose your identity to anyone else,” Li Qing lowered his voice, saying mysteriously.
“…”
Qi Qingyao did not know whether to cry or laugh.
