Hubby, Your Fox Fairy Wants Everything

Chapter 94 Ning’s Woman Wanted to Go to the Capital

Changxi took no notice of Ning Hai’s worry, since a doctor should treat equally to all the patients with the hope of giving them the best treatment. Changxi inquired You Qingcheng about her crux. Ni Shang knew that Queen suffered from the mental worry. To cure of the disease, the truth could not be concealed any longer. However, it was indeed a serious matter since it was related to the Master herself. The Master would get into trouble if her secret trouble was disclosed.

“Queen, you have heart disease.”

“Magic Doctor Chang, someone once tried to assault the Queen.”

Ni Shang lowered her voiced when saying the word “assault”. When the scar was disclosed, You Qingcheng’s heart was dripping with blood. You Qingcheng thought she had forgetten, but fell into a panic when hearing it again. Changxi flicked her spiritual fingers, and then the Queen calmed down from agitation, a haze appearing in her eyes in despair. Ni Shang’s heart ached for the Queen. Those scars and injuries would haunt the Queen through the life. Changxi waved her fingers rhythmically. Ni Shang knew it was hypnotism. Changxi did not feel relieved until You Qingcheng closed her eyes.

Outside the room, Ning Hai was rather astounded. The Queen looked dignified, but she had once experienced such suffering. So he felt a bit pity for the Queen. Yet, he changed his thought quickly, considering it as a good opportunity to make a fortune, because he was bound to get more taels of silver if he coerced her with it. But immediately, he gave up the thought and cursed himself even worse than swines and dogs. How could he think about making money by uncovering the woman’s sore point? While Ning Hai was struggling with his thoughts, You Qingcheng inside the room was calming herself down and getting into a sleep under Changxi’s psychological therapy.

“Magic Doctor Chang, my master suffers mental worry. It is not easy to cure it. Nowadays, the Majesty does not care about the Master as before, which is a hard hit to the Master. In order to maintain the throne in the imperial harem, the Master has no way but to give birth to a baby. But she has taken a number of medicines prescribed in the palace, but they do not work. Magic Doctor, would you have some effective prescriptions?”

It was unfortunate for a woman to encounter that. Ni Shang knew it well, and Chang Xi knew it better. A good healer always had a parental heart. Each doctor would hope the patient to recover, and Changxi was not an exception.

“So could you tell more details to me so that I can prescribe a medicine special for the disease?”

“My master is the Queen of the Qi Kingdom. Several months ago, she went to the military camp to see Chidi’s devil army. But unfortunately, she encountered a flower thief.”

“Your Master is Di Qing’s Queen?”

“Yes.”

“It seems that the Queen suffers from over-shock. And she will recover with gradual consultation. If she wants a baby, she needs to recuperate her body.”

Although Changxi knew that Di Qing was Chidi’s pawn, she had looked things lighter after experiencing life and death. This delicate woman was Di Qing’s wife, but she was the same as a common patient in Changxi’s eyes. The past did matter, but Changxi thought she was a doctor first, and it was her responsibility to cure the sick and save the patients. So she would not ignore the Queen.

Outside the room, Ning Hai showed more sympathy for the Queen. That night, Ning Hai asked his wife to cook black chicken soup for the noble woman, bought some tonic to her and had his wife decoct it. However, Ning Hai’s wife was rather cunning, feeling displeased when seeing her husband care about the noble woman so much. Ning Hai told his wife what had happened to the noble woman. Ning Hai’s wife was not that easy, and she began plotting how to take advantage of the Queen’s suffering. Although Ning Hai was greedy for money, he weighed in the hand facing major issues of right and wrong. The soup was delicious and fresh, and You Qingcheng had a small bowl of it.

Ning Hai was greedy but kind, so Changxi was not antipathetic to him. Since Ni Shang had been living in the human world for a long time, she had a fine grasp of delicious food. To express gratitude to Ning Hai, You Qingcheng asked Ni Shang to pick up some jewelry to Ning Hai. Ning Hai felt a bit embarrassed, since he did not expect to get something good from what he had done to the noble woman, and just wanted to help her recover her health. On the other hand, Ning Hai’s wife grabbed the jewelry without any hesitation, and it was treasure from the palace. Ning Hai’s wife shoved the jewelry into her arms. You Qingcheng broke into chuckles when seeing Ning Hai’s woman’s antic. Realizing the noble woman laughing at her, Ning Hai’s wife also giggled artlessly, but jeered at the Queen in her heart. For a country woman, her chastity was her honor through the life.

The courtyard in Ning Hai’s house was rather small. You Qingcheng lived in the inner room with Changxi while Ning Hai and his wife lived in the small room in the corner. After supper, the couple got ready to rest. Ning’s woman prepared the water for her husband to wash feet, which startled Ning Hai. He wondered what happened to his wife and that there was something unusual to her after she accepted the jewelry. She was too complaisant to frighten Ning Hai with fear. When the old woman got on the bed and took the treasure out, Ning Hai’s eyes was about to drop. Since he just glanced at it carelessly in the beginning, he did not find its component. But taking a careful look under the light, the couple’s eyes gleamed with the green light. What a precious treasure! Ning’s woman wiped it again and again with the satin-face bedding, and studied it carefully under the candlelight. Ning Hai picked up a shiny golden headgear and bit it slightly. And when a row of tooth marks were visible under the candlelight, Ning Hai was so thrilled. Ning’s woman put the treasure in her arms to warm it, and enwrapped it with brocade. Observing his wife’s deed, Ning Hai let out a fit of sighs in his heart. This year, he did have a luck stroke. At first, he met his savior, then Magic Doctor Chang, and now he obtained such valuable and beautiful presents. Ning’s woman had seen nothing of the outside world, and farthest town she had ever been was the Qiu Town. She might get lost in the large place like the capital, but Ning Hai had been there before.

“Old man, how about going to see the world in the capital some day?”

“What will we do if we don’t have places to stay in the capital?”

“The noble woman comes from the capital, so we can follow her to the Imperial City and have a look there.” Ning’s woman had a plot in her heart that based on Magic Doctor Chang’s medical skills, they could make a living in the capital, where they would make a great fortune and be busy in counting taels of silver.

Ning’s woman envied in her heart those who came from the capital, but was just afraid of being laughed at for her little experience. Today, stimulated by the treasure that the noble woman had given to her, Ning’s woman was more desperate to see the bustle and hustle of the capital.

“Magic Doctor Chang is a distinguished guest in our family. To set up a thatched cottage in Qingyao Town is to save people, which is Magic Doctor’s favourite. We can’t control her.”

However, Ning Hai’s wife did not think so. And she was more convinced by the treasure received today that the life in the captial was waiting for her ahead. And there was a way to go to the captial, that is, to force Magic Doctor Chang to leave Qingyao Town. Ning Hai’s wife touched the jewelry in the arms and made up her mind. Seeing Ning Hai sleeping sound, she got up quietly. Sometimes, a person’s potential was limitless, such as Ning Hai’s wife. To lead a prosperous life in the capital, she ran to Changxi’s thatched cottage in the town at midnight, and lit up the roof ruthlessly. When seeing the red flame soared higher than her head, she returned home as if nothing had happened. When she arrived at her house, she thought that the courtyard could not be kept as well, so she set another fire to go the whole hog. This time, Ning’s woman did not rest her heart until the flame in the kitchen soared as high as a person. She came back to the room, covered herself with a quilt and slept. Ning’s woman was not silly, plotting that she needed to play something before going to sleep, so that others would treat and respect her as a benefactor. Ning Hai was dreaming of the white taels of silver when he was waken up by his wife’s sleeping words. Ning Hai turned over and slept again. Seeing her husband sleeping deeply, Ning’s woman gave him a kick, which woke Ning Hai up completely. But Ning Hai was scared at the sight. He ran out of the door without wearing shoes. Ning’s woman laughed inwardly, thinking that her plan was about to be completed.

The flame had surged to the Eastern wing room when Ning Hai rashed out of the courtyard. Terrible! Magic Doctor Chang lived in the Eastern wing room, as well as the two noble women. Ning Hai ran back to his inner room and pulled his wife to run outward. Ning’s woman thought that to play it realistically, tears were necessary. Just imagine how grieved it would be when all the possessions were burnt out utterly. So to give a vivid performance, Ning’s woman made several attemps to run into the sea of fire, pretending to save their possessions. And she was pulled back by Ning Hai.

Ning Hai kicked the eastern wing room’s door open. Learning from his wife, he wrapped himself with wet clothes. Inside the room, Changxi slept in alarm and woke up when hearing Ning Hai kicking the door. After seeing Ning Hai and his wife rushed into the room with wet clothes, Changxi realized that the house was on fire. Changxi got off the bed, dashed to the bed in the corner to hold the noble women up, and ran outside. Before Ni Shang opened her eyes, she had been lifted up and placed in the courtyard, while You Qingcheng was still dreaming, and opened her eyes with shock as she felt cold suddenly. The moment You Qingcheng opened her eyes, she was numb with scares. The roof of her bedroom had begun collapsing. The fire spread quickly. In a blink, the room was swallowed by the fire. At that momen, Ning’s woman thought only by one-hundred-percent performance could she earn sympathy. Think of how miserable a middle over fifty years old would be when she was deprived of everything after working painfully through her life? What Ning’s woman wanted was that the noble woman and Magic Doctor Chang felt pity for her so that she could have more chances to walk out there, since better life was waiting ahead. However, Ning Hai did not know what his wife was thinking about, but just thought that his wife was distressed about the loss of their property that they had earned for half of the life. Ning Hai himself felt terrible as well, since all of his belongs just were wretchedly gone.

“My old man.”

Ning’s woman shed more thick tears. Ning Hai held his wife in the arms, afraid that she would run into the sea of fire unscrupulously. Changxi did not fold her arms and look on, since Ning Hai provided a place for her to live in. And now Ning’s family was in trouble, Changxi thought she would go all out to help him. It seemed that she should charge for the treatment in the future. At least, Ning Hai and his wife could not sleep out on the streets. Changxi was making plans for Ning Hai. When the patients in the town informed Ning Hai that the thatched cottage had been ruined, he was numb with shock. The means of livelihood would be deprived if the thatched cottage was destroyed. And now how could the whole family live on? However, Ning’s woman had not considered so much when she burnt the cottage, but just wanted to leave there earlier and live a luxirious life in the capital. But hearing Ning Hai’s words, she felt greatly regretted about what she had done, but did not dare to speak it out and had to hide it in her heart. She hoped nothing but the noble woman showed mercy to give a way for them to live. Ning Hai was thinking how to rebuild their home while Ning’s woman was hoping the noble woman could bring her to the capital.

You Qingcheng could not bear to see others’ sorrow, so she had certain plan in her heart. She discussed with Ni Chang, because she wanted to help this family. Apart from anything else, You Qingcheng’s body still needed Magic Doctor’s care and treatment. If she missed Magic Doctor Chang, it would be harder to find her in the future.

“Magic Doctor Chang, come with us back to the capital.”

Upon hearing it, Ning Hai’s wife went wild with joy. It turned out that the move she took was right. As long as Magic Doctor Chang went to the capital, Ning Hai’s wife could follow to the capital rightly on the ground of looking after Magic Doctor Chang. The more Ning Hai’s wife thought, the more complacent she became, and she could not control her smug petty shrewdness in her heart. Changxi was always tired of bustling life. And Qingyao was a land of supermundane beauty. Changxi had planned to live there for the rest of her life, but out of her expectation, something unexpect happened. Alas! A person would never know what would happen next. To earn a living for Ning’s family, Changxi had no choice but to return the outside world.

“Sorry to trouble you.”

Changxi was reluctant to go to the capital, because there were too many disputes in the outside world and Changxi herself did not want to enter it at all. What’s more, the noble woman’s husband was Chidi’s pawn, and it was inevitable to come across him in the future. The person who Changxi hated most was Chidi. She wanted to water down the past after coming back to life and live a plain life. But no one could expect that she was entangled into the outside world again. Changxi wrinkled his eyebrows more tightly.

Surely, You Qingcheng did not forget Ning Hai and his wife. Although she met with them by chance, she would not forget the soup that Ning Hai’s wife had cooked. So delicious, sweet and simple! They were an honest and warm-hearted couple. You Qingcheng preferred veracious and sincere person, so she decided to take them two back to the capital as well. Ning Hai’s wife was happy indeed! The reason why she had made trouble was to live Qingyao Town.
