Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers

With each reference to their “good niece,” they nearly gave Qi Yue a case of goosebumps.

Seeing the tattered remnants of their clothes from the whip lashes, Qi Yue surmised the purpose of their visit.

“What sort of relatives are you to me, anyway? Speak if you have something to say.”

Bai Jiahui, no longer caring about face, brazenly sidled up to her.

“Yueyue, your Second Uncle and I have never broken ties with you, you can’t disown us!”

Qi Yue raised an eyebrow, feigning seriousness as she glanced over.

“Oh, it’s my Second Aunt. I thought I had seen a ghost.”

“What are you saying, Yueyue? Isn’t your Second Aunt right here, alive and well?”

“You’ve got it wrong, when I said I saw a ghost, I meant I saw that woman who tried to kill me with a disguise.”

Qi Yue lifted a finger and nonchalantly pointed behind Bai Jiahui, “There she is, on your back, saying you paid her to kill me and that she wants revenge!”

“Ah!”

Bai Jiahui let out a scream, jumped three feet into the air, and began slapping her shoulder incessantly while shouting.

“I didn’t, I didn’t do it!”

Qi Yue watched the scene unfold with relish, while Qi Fengzhang’s eyes bulged in disbelief.

“Yueyue, what are you talking about? When did your Second Aunt ever try to kill you?”

Qi Yue didn’t care if Qi Fengzhang was just pretending.

In any case, neither of them were good people; she planned to deal with them one by one.

“Why don’t you go and ask your dear wife what she intended to do to me? If not for my lucky escape, I might already be a pile of bones by now.”

At these words, Qi Fengzhang’s cheeks twitched a few times and his complexion darkened.

He rushed forward and slapped Bai Jiahui several times, knocking her to the ground, then kicked her and sent her flying.

Qi Yue rubbed her fingers together.

It seems the strength of the Qi Family is hereditary.

“Niece, about this matter, your Second Uncle really had no idea. You can rest assured, I’ll make sure she explains herself to you.”

“Is that so? You believe me so easily without even knowing?” Qi Yue glanced at the unconscious Bai Jiahui and thought to herself.

This Second Uncle of hers was a ruthless man indeed.

Without even asking his wedded wife, he struck her directly.

And the injuries were not light.

“Niece, how could I not believe you,” Qi Fengzhang said, righteousness written all over his face.

“This vile woman named Bai, I know her all too well. She has committed plenty of evil behind my back. I only found out after you were married that she had dared to mistreat you, to scheme against you!”

“Yueyue, you must believe in your Second Uncle!”

Qi Yue pondered — what better revenge could there be than a pain that murders the soul!

— How perfect it would be to let these two dogs bite each other!

Thinking this, she curved her lips into a smile, “Of course I believe in Second Uncle, but this woman wants me dead, you see…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Qi Fengzhang puffed up his chest, thumping it as if it echoed like a mountain.

“Rest assured, niece. Once Second Uncle returns, he will take care of this vile woman. If she dared to lay a finger on you, I definitely won’t let her off!”

“Alright, then I’ll be waiting for Second Uncle’s good news.”

Having said this, she left without giving Qi Fengzhang a chance to respond and went to the kitchen to make soup.

— Without her Spiritual Spring Water, the chicken soup just wouldn’t taste right.

Qi Fengzhang stayed in place, grinding his teeth and stomping fiercely.

“This vile woman!”

Then he dragged one of Bai Jiahui’s arms and returned to the external lodging area of the station.

He had barely sat down on a rock when the sound of a whip cracked through the air.

Unable to dodge in time, his back was instantly struck twice, oozing two trails of blood.

“Lord Qian, please have mercy, spare me!”

Qian Faliang was not so easily swayed.

Ever since being poisoned by Qi Yue and having his servants taken away, his anger had been smoldering.

Watching those dashing young men in the line of exiles, he drooled and his heart stirred, but he dared not do anything.

If it weren’t for his reputation as a scoundrel, he’d probably have been dragged out and beaten to death by those criminals.

Damn it!

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, his whip whistling through the air, relentlessly lashing out at Qi Fengzhang!

Don’t think he hadn’t noticed, that fat old woman intended for this couple to die!

If they were going to die, so be it; he just loved beating people anyway.

The “smack smack” sound was so satisfying to his ears!

“Master Qian, I am Qi Yue’s second uncle, you can’t beat me like this!”

As soon as he heard the name Qi Yue, Qian Faliang beat him even more ferociously.

That fat old woman made his life a living hell, he wished he could flay her skin and pull out her tendons!

Qi Fengzhang was a clever man, his brain hadn’t swollen like his back had from the beating.

He quickly grasped the change in the situation and immediately started shouting.

“You surnamed Qian, to harbor resentment against your master like this, be careful I’ll tell my niece and have her deny you the antidote, let you die in pain!”

The words worked better than any antidote, Qian Faliang instantly stopped his whip in its tracks.

He indeed harbored resentment, but he couldn’t let Qi Yue know about it.

Qi Fengzhang also knew when to back off.

“Master Qian, if you spare me, and give your hand a rest as well, my niece won’t find out.”

Blackmailed Qian Faliang left with a face full of hate.

Qi Fengzhang watched the retreating figure and spat viciously.

“You cur, now that I have something on you, just watch how I’ll play you to death!”

As he spoke, a light flashed through his mind.

If blackmail could get him what he wanted, why not…

If he could find Qi Yue’s weakness and use it against her…

Ha ha ha…

A few days passed, and the group of exiles finally arrived in Yuezhou.

According to routine, they were to stop there for a day.

For beyond that point lay the Dayuan Uninhabited Area with a journey of nine days, and no inn offered lodging due to the rugged environment that was hardly suitable for human habitation.

But this route was shorter, cutting almost half the distance for those exiled to Longnan Ridge.

In addition to the exiles, criminals and fugitives also traveled this dangerous path.

Guan Yidao needed to purchase supplies and fodder for the horses in Yuezhou.

Among the exiles, those with silver had paid commander Guan to prepare some food for them.

Those without silver could only pin all their hopes on the steamed bun issued by the government officials.

Shen Yu, upon learning of this situation, immediately sought out Qi Yue with a worried look that same night.

“Yueyue, I still have something here; take it to the commander, and ask him to procure some supplies for us too.”

Qi Yue glanced at it.

It was a United Hearts Button; its other half must belong to Zhao Yongzhe.

It seemed this cheap stepmother truly had nothing left, even offering her token of love.

“No need, I already gave him the silver. He will buy enough food for us.”

Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were in the middle of their harmonious chat when Bai Jiahui suddenly limped in.

“Qi Yue!”

Qi Yue had a bad premonition.

According to the previous plan, Qi Fengzhang should have killed this woman.

Why was she suddenly appearing here?

And it looked like the injuries on her body had healed a lot?

“What are you doing here?”

With her broken right arm cradled, Bai Jiahui spoke through clenched teeth, “I’ve come to expose you!”
