Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers

Chapter 265: Chapter 265: Would a Man Like Zhao Xiyan Pave the Way for Her to Be a Thief?

Given the strange encounter tonight, Qi Yue was very cautious on her way back, but she never noticed anyone following her or any signs of danger.

As usual, she arrived at Yimei Garden silently and saw Song Chongzhen lurking in the bushes of the courtyard, vigilantly scanning his surroundings, so she gave him a secret signal.

Song Chongzhen quickly went to the back yard where Qi Yue had already placed Madam Song on a chair, while holding the child in her arms.

“See if they are the ones, I thought they matched your description, so I brought them back.”

As she spoke, Qi Yue handed over the child she was holding.

Upon seeing the child, tears immediately began streaming down Song Chongzhen’s face, falling onto the child’s face.

...

However, the child didn’t cry but rather laughed lightly, making a “gu” sound, which was very endearing.

Seeing that things were stable, Qi Yue then unblocked Madam Song’s acupoints.

The family of three was reunited, bringing even more joy.

Without saying much, the couple knelt down with the child, expressing endless gratitude; Qi Yue quickly helped them to their feet.@@novelbin@@

“Tonight was also lucky. When I went there, someone had already reached Yewang Prefecture before me, and everyone had been knocked out by that person, allowing me to sneak people out amidst the chaos,” she said.

She said this to avoid Song Chongzhen’s suspicion.

After all, by early tomorrow morning, the news that Yewang Prefecture and the Fox King Residence had been emptied would spread.

By then, she, who had also infiltrated Yewang Prefecture, would be suspected.

Although this incident probably meant Song Chongzhen wouldn’t betray her, people are unpredictable, and she never placed her safety in the hands of others’ moral conscience.

Hearing this, Song Chongzhen looked shocked and utterly confounded.

“Could such a thing really happen?”

“Yes, do you know of anyone who would harm the people of Yewang Prefecture like this?”

Song Chongzhen just shook his head.

“I truly haven’t heard of such a person, at least not someone from Donggao.”

His words suddenly reminded Qi Yue.

Zhao Xiyan immediately came to mind.

But it was just a moment of stupor before she regained her senses!

With his skills, he could indeed knock those people out without anyone noticing!

But would a man like Zhao Xiyang take the lead for her and watch her act like a thief?

Impossible!

Not even in a dream!

That evening, Qi Yue had Madam Song and the child make do with a bed outside, while Song Chongzhen went back to figure out how to settle the mother and son and would come over to pick them up early the next morning.

Seeing Madam Song both scared and fearful, plus having had nothing to eat which cut off her milk supply, Qi Yue eventually couldn’t bear it and administered a few acupuncture needles and gave her some nutritious food to eat.

The night passed quietly and without incident.

The next morning, Song Chongzhen came over and said he planned to flee, taking his wife and child away from Yanjing.

“Owing a great debt to Miss Qi this time, Chongzhen can only repay it in another life.”

Qi Yue hadn’t expected him to make such a decision, especially since the city gates were still strictly closed, allowing entry but not exit.

“Have you thought about a place to go? Where do you plan to head?”

Song Chongzhen shook his head.

“I don’t know, but we can’t stay in Yanjing anymore.”

Qi Yue felt that Song Chongzhen had no chance of leaving Yanjing alive. Seeing Madam Song secretly weeping while holding the small child, her heart rose with pity. “After last night’s incident, Song Qiyun will definitely search for them in Yanjing. Now is not the best time to leave.”

“What should we do then? If that’s the case, it’s hard to even return home,” Madam Song said with tears.

Qi Yue stood up and walked to the window to look at the outside view.

Yimei Garden was located at the highest point of Plum Blossom Villa, offering a view of the entire villa from the window.

Countless pavilions, bizarre rocks, fragrant vines, and luxuriant trees—all lush and vibrant.

A bold idea suddenly surged in her heart.

“Such a good environment would definitely be beneficial for the child’s growth.”

“Song Chongzhen, how many maidservants are there in Plum Blossom Villa? If they give birth, how are the children handled?”

Song Chongzhen did not understand her meaning and answered bewilderedly, “Plum Blossom Villa is very large, there are at least three to four hundred maidservants, all scattered throughout various courtyards. This place is quieter than others; if a maidservant has a child, they take care of them themselves… Miss Qi, why do you ask?”

Qi Yue glanced at him.

“I have heard a story of a noblewoman who, having been condemned to Yeting for offenses, was tasked with laundry and various chores daily. She was pregnant at the time, and normally the child would be taken away once born, but this woman managed to give birth in the strict Yeting and raised the child until the age of seven without being discovered. Don’t you think that’s an amazing story?”

Song Chongzhen was initially startled.

“Do you mean to let the child stay and grow up in Plum Blossom Villa?”

Qi Yue was speechless, truly not understanding how these ancient people thought.

“Of course not the entire growth, just past this period until everything is calm; then take them, mother and child, far away to start anew.”

Song Chongzhen and his wife looked at each other and immediately knelt down.

“Thank you, Miss Qi, for enlightening our humble family with a way forward.”

Qi Yue waved her hand dismissively.

“It was nothing, I haven’t done much; the specifics still depend on your own efforts!”

Song Chongzhen and his wife were still overly grateful. Their baby, held in their arms, cooed incessantly, looking quite adorable.

Being an associate of Song Qiyun had its advantages, and soon Song Chongzhen had organized everything, taking Mrs. Song and their child away.

Seeing the child was indeed lovely, Qi Yue made some nutritional gel capsules specifically and taught Mrs. Song how to administer them to the child.

The couple left with endless thanks and continuous bows.

Just as that matter was settled, Zhu Ye suddenly came reporting that Song Qiyun had arrived with a dozen men following, doing something unknown outside.

Qi Yue smirked coldly.

What else could it be, but surely to inquire if someone had been surveilling her outside, questioning whether she had stayed in Yimei Garden all last night?

“Fine, let’s go out and see.”

The two of them went out, one after the other, and saw from a distance Song Qiyun listening to a few guards speaking.

Qi Yue took a few steps forward and indeed heard several guards speaking all at once.

“Miss Qi has not come out since she returned yesterday afternoon.”

“Miss Qi always turns off her lights early every night and has not left the house.”

“….”

She smirked and walked leisurely forward.

“Yo, Princely Heir Qiyun, what are you interrogating so early in the morning?”

“Nothing, just asking casually,” Song Qiyun responded quite composedly.

However, his darkened complexion and deep dark circles betrayed his fact of sleeplessness.

Qi Yue suppressed a laugh and purposely asked,

“Oh, Princely Heir Qiyun, what’s with your appearance? You look rather unwell?”

Song Qiyun’s lips visibly twitched as he glanced into Yimei Garden.

“Indeed, there is a matter, Miss Qi, may I come in and discuss it?”

“Yes.”

Knowing exactly what he was going to discuss, Qi Yue couldn’t help but curve her lips up, “I’m just a guest; how could I not let the host enter his own house?”

The two entered the courtyard one after the other, with Qi Yue heading towards a small pavilion inside, Song Qiyun following her.

They took their seats one after the other, and Zhu Ye served tea then walked off into the distance.

The child is now very well-behaved and rather pleasing to watch.

Seeing Song Qiyun only drank tea and remained silent, Qi Yue spoke first.

“Princely Heir Qiyun, speak what’s on your mind. I plan to go out and stroll; let’s not delay any further.”

Hearing this, Song Qiyun set down the teacup in his hand and looked up at her, his eyes filled with suspicion.

“Miss Qi has been in a good mood these days, going out every day?”
