Chapter 169 Transmigration into Stepmother Literature × SimpletonTyrantGuard (30)
The next day, Yun Qiao was extremely busy. All the patients who could make it in time came, some to see a doctor, and others to deliver eggs and vegetables. There were many people, but everything was well organized.
There's no other reason than the government is helping to maintain order.
Looking at the officers and soldiers receiving patients, and then at Qin Xiangming, who was awkwardly trying to get medicine from behind the counter but couldn't find the medicine cabinet, it was a scene of prosperity.
Yun Qiao looked at the familiar old lady in a good mood, a smile on her face.
The old lady said, "Dr. Yun, why are you leaving so soon? I felt much better after you saw me last time. I'm afraid that my old ailment will relapse after you leave. No other doctor has been able to help me."
While taking her pulse, Yun Qiao spoke gently, "Auntie, I've taken everything you said to heart. Look, I've divorced my husband and married a high-ranking imperial envoy from the capital."
The old woman: "Haha...Really...That's good..." She didn't dare to speak.
Yun Qiao: "By the way, what about your handsome but unfortunate nephew? Is he married yet?"
The old lady exclaimed, "It's done! It's done! It was done yesterday! Isn't that a coincidence?"
Yun Qiao looked regretful; it was the first time she had turned the tables and gone on the offensive, but the old lady's fighting ability was not good enough.
I silently finished writing the prescription and watched her get up.
His medical skills were also excellent; the old lady left much more agilely than the previous times.
Qin Xiangming walked over and saw her reluctant expression, and asked softly, "A good neighbor?"
Yun Qiao nodded regretfully, "Yes, one of my excellent patients."
After reminiscing, I turned to look at him.
Stop slacking off and get to work!
Not even as good as the God of Wealth, utterly useless.
Qin Xiangming felt embarrassed and continued to fetch the medicine.
Yun Qiao didn't indulge him and still treated him like the fool she used to be. Who could she blame? If he hadn't locked up the God of Wealth, would he have been so flustered?
Despite Yun Qiao's antics, Qin Xiangming couldn't keep those people locked up for too long.
After resolving the matter at the clinic, Yun Qiao sent Qin Xiangming back to the yamen to deal with other messes.
The God of Wealth looked at Yun Qiao, who had come to lead the three of them. He hadn't said a word the whole way, his brows furrowed. Compared to Yue Shan and Qin Lang, who were both brainless, he had been having a vague idea of what was going on these past few days.
It's understandable that they arrested him and Qin Xiangchi, but Yue Shan is Qin Xiangming's man, and he was also arrested and imprisoned with them. The least likely answer is that Qin Xiangming gave the order.
Yue Shan was stupid. Inside, Caishen used the excuse of worrying about Yun Qiao's safety to get a lot of information out of her. In addition, since Yue Shan came, Yun Qiao had been somewhat uneasy and had been secretly urging him to leave. Caishen probably made some deductions.
When Yun Qiao left a year ago, he didn't know that Qin Xiangming would rebel later. But she suddenly abandoned Yue Shan and Qin Xiangming and left the capital with him. At first, he thought she had a conflict with Yue Shan and they separated, but that was clearly not the case. In fact, she had suddenly changed her mind and wanted to abandon and hide from Qin Xiangming all along.
There must be something he didn't know, and Yue Shan was completely unaware of it all, which made the God of Wealth somewhat annoyed.
Back home, Yun Qiao sent the two fools away and spoke to the God of Wealth alone.
He looked down at her, quietly waiting for her to make arrangements for him. Yes, arrangements. These past few days, the three of them hadn't suffered much, and even their food was different from others. The God of Wealth knew that Yun Qiao must have done something; she always did this.
Yun Qiao was completely unaware of the God of Wealth's strange behavior. She took out all the things she had prepared and looked at him.
"This is your new household registration. From now on, He An's identity is legal and compliant. You are no longer a slave. You can go wherever you want. There are also silver notes. I have mortgaged the clinic. All the money is here. You are now a wealthy merchant on the go. You have plenty of money. You don't have to worry about running out of money. Your previous identity was inconvenient, but now the world is your oyster. You can see whatever you want."
She finished speaking casually, then stuffed everything into his hands, forcing him to hold it.
Then he added casually:
"I plan to take Yue Shan and Qin Lang back to the capital. After thinking it over, I feel more at ease leaving Qin Lang in Qin Xiangming's care. Given my relationship with Qin Xiangming, things won't be any different once we get back, so you don't need to worry. Just be good to me from now on."
The God of Wealth looked at her, remained silent for a long time, and then said softly, "Liar."
When they first met, she was still naive and acted entirely out of sincerity. She was kind to everyone and open her heart to everyone. Now she has learned to lie.
But having spent so much time together, he was the one who knew her growth and changes best. She could fool others, but she could never fool him.
Because he liked her, he was indeed anxious and insecure, unsure whether she liked him more than Yue Shan.
But if you step back and look at it rationally, he clearly knew that she would definitely choose him; she had no reason not to.
Whether it's stability or freedom, and considering the longer time they've spent together and the deeper understanding he's gained compared to Yue Shan, based on his understanding of Yun Qiao, she would definitely choose him.
But the final answer was the opposite.
She probably worried that this day would come when Yue Shan appeared, which is why she chose Yue Shan and pushed herself away.
On the night he learned the answer, he lost his composure and thought she had chosen Yue Shan. But after calming down, he easily realized that something was wrong.
Her momentary anxiety and attempts to drive him away were all abnormal.
Unfortunately, he lacked information at the time and was unaware that Qin Xiangming was involved.
She tried asking, but she was determined to put on this act and make him leave.
Looking at Yun Qiao now, he felt somewhat powerless, realizing that no matter how much he thought about it, he still couldn't take her with him.
Qin Xiangming is not Qin Xiangchi; he would not kill Yun Qiao. It is precisely because he understands this that Caishen dares not, cannot, and cannot selfishly let her go with him to live a life of hiding and running.
Besides, she had already planned it out, hadn't she? She had even arranged his escape route.
But he now vehemently resists the freedom and innocence he once longed for.
When Yun Qiao heard the God of Wealth say that she was a liar, she glared at him and said, "What are you liar about? Pack your things, I'll take you there later. Let's leave as soon as possible, I need to get going here too."
The longer the night lasts, the more things can go wrong. It's better to cut things off quickly and decisively, so that they don't get out of control and cause any more trouble.
After grumbling and muttering to herself, she turned to leave; she still had to go check on the other two.
Feeling herself being hugged from behind, Yun Qiao remained silent for a long time before letting out a long sigh.
"Don't be reluctant. In the future, just send your letters to the Prince Le's residence."
The God of Wealth remained silent, burying his head in the crook of her neck, and after a long while asked in a hoarse voice.
"Did he pressure you?"
Yun Qiao fell silent upon hearing this, inwardly annoyed, wondering where she had let something slip, but she had said that dealing with such cunning people was troublesome.
He simply admitted it and offered words of comfort:
"No, they're very generous. They even promised me the position of Empress."
The God of Wealth remained silent, knowing that Yun Qiao didn't care about such things.
Yun Qiao continued:
"Don't worry, I'm clever. I also extorted a few other things. Anyway, things won't be bad for me in the future, so don't take it to heart. The household registration thing was just a bonus. With our friendship of so long, it's only right that you benefit from my success."
Seeing that he still didn't say anything, Yun Qiao said helplessly, "If you can't even make me laugh, don't push your luck!"
The God of Wealth tilted his head and nuzzled her cheek. His only two transgressions were, last time, to pressure her into speaking up and sharing the burden, and this time, probably out of resentment at his own incompetence.
After a long silence, he said in a low, hoarse voice, "I know."
Yun Qiao didn't understand what he meant. "What do you know now?"
He knew, he knew she liked him, he knew they almost had a future together, he knew they had once shared feelings for each other, perhaps even up to this moment.
His Adam's apple bobbed, and he finally suppressed his emotions, speaking softly:
"You want me to leave?"
Even if you choose to face the problems ahead with Yue Shan, you still need to trick him away first.
The God of Wealth knew what she was thinking; he understood her, and she understood him.
Yun Qiao couldn't see the expression on the person behind her, but she knew he seemed to be crying.
The God of Wealth is free. Now he has the freedom to see the light of day and to be upright and honest. He should not have any entanglements or cry.
"Yes, I want you to leave."
After a while, Yun Qiao felt the person behind her get up and let go of her. She didn't turn around. "Hurry up and pack your things. I'm going to teach those two good-for-nothings a lesson first."
After speaking in a light tone, he left without any hesitation.
The God of Wealth stood in the room for a long time.
On the other side, Yun Qiao entered the main room and saw two obedient people sitting and waiting for her. She sat down, frowned, and organized her words.
"Let's have a brief meeting. Here's the thing: we need to pack our things and head back to the capital soon. I'll get straight to the point. Yue Shan, shut up for now, and don't cry. We can discuss any issues later, understand?"
She forced him to nod in agreement with her eyes before looking at Qin Lang.
“Your problem is the most serious. When you go back this time, you will probably be locked up in the prison for at least a year and a half. Once it is confirmed that Qin Xiangchi has completely disappeared and will not reappear, the higher-ups will issue you a new household registration and release you. After that, you will have to fend for yourself.”
