Triplets: Lucky Mommy is a Beautiful Badass

Chapter 96: A Thorough Glow Up 6

Everyone in the hall paused.

It was only after some time passed that someone piped up, “You were so lucky to encounter that Su Xiao, what’s her name? That’s totally a lie.”

“Su Xiao or something? I think I’ve heard that name before. Are you possibly talking about the Mysterious Divine Physician, Su Hexiao? One of the three most famous physicians in Beiliang?” Some of their relatives were living in Qingzhou City and they had heard some stories while visiting.

“Yes, Su Hexiao. There’s a really amazing physician named Su Hexiao…”

Everyone in the village chief’s home started talking about her—all of them had heard of Su Hexiao’s name.

After they concluded their discussion, a member of the village committee said, “Qi Qingyao, you said that it was your treatment that saved the Heir? Who are you trying to lie to? You definitely stole that money. Everything you said can’t be proven by anyone other than yourself.”

Qi Qingyao sighed, and was just about to tell them to ask the Heir’s mansion directly when Si Jin spoke up. “A terrible place will produce terrible people indeed. Not only are there no words of gratitude after we gave some of the money we earned to you, but you also insist on accusing us of many things we haven’t done. First you say that Elder Sister became the concubine of a wealthy man, and now you say that she stole the money! If you really don’t want her money, then so be it. Return it this instant!”

The people who got insulted were speechless. “…”

Qi Qingyao wanted to laugh.

Si Jin was so considerate. He said out loud what was in her mind.

Si Jin continued to fire verbal missiles at Zhang Tieyuan. “And you! If you don’t want to make a deal, just say it! You love gambling, don’t you? Someone like you will lose all your properties in a gamble one day!”

“Look at you talk! She has no way to prove her innocence. Is there a point to insulting us like that? If you can say it, then you should prove it,” Zhang Tieyuan retorted with an ugly expression on his face.

Si Jin said calmly, “Just you wait. Maybe the Heir’s men are already on the way.”

Immediately after he said those words, Qi Qingyao’s brow twitched. She had personally witnessed the moment when his words became truth. Would it be the same this time…

Right then…

Old Yang rushed into Ma Sanye’s house and said, looking overjoyed, “Ma Sanye, some strangers have visited the village. They’re looking for you.”

“Strangers?”

Ma Sanye and everyone else were bemused.

Old Yang’s wife went out to enjoy the gossip with a curious expression on her face.

Old Yang said carefully, “I think they’re from the Heir’s mansion.”

“Huh?” Ma Sanye paused. Everyone turned to look at Qi Qingyao.

Qi Qingyao was even more confused.

Why did the Heir’s men come here? What? Hadn’t she already completed her treatment? Did the Heir’s health worsen again?

She could not help but turn back to look at Si Jin.

This guy really was the epitome of a jinx.

As the group of people walked outside, no one noticed that a certain tall man was not within their ranks. He stood by the window and opened it a little, just enough for him to see what was happening on the street ahead.

He saw a lavish carriage parked by the street. It was much grander than the one Qi Qingyao had taken back to the village. Beautiful triangular flags hung on the side of the carriage. There was only one character on the flags, which read “Pei”, symbolizing the Heir’s last name.

This was a carriage from the Heir’s mansion!

Jiang Yeqian looked at Li Qing, arms crossed in front of his chest, deep in thought with a furrowed brow. Li Qing came here representing Heir Pei. However, why would Heir Pei send Li Qing here? Did Heir Pei take a liking to Qi Qingyao? Was he thinking of marrying her as his concubine after witnessing her skills for himself, or… Was he planning to hire her as his family doctor?

Just as he was busy with his thoughts, a soft voice asked him, “Uncle, why didn’t you go out with everyone else?”

Jiang Yeqian looked down to meet Xiaobao’s big eyes that glinted with curiosity. He asked in response, “You didn’t either, did you?”

Xiaobao was speechless.

He was defeated.

Xiaobao did not go out there because he had something to think about.

Jiang Yeqian, on the other hand, was an adult, but he did not go out to watch like everyone else. This was strange…
