Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers

Chapter 27: Chapter 27 Removing the Villain’s Private Property

She was wondering whether to say something or not when she suddenly saw the woman stop in her tracks, her hands fidgeting with the hem of her clothes, appearing very flustered.

Did she look that fierce and evil? Qi Yue was puzzled.

Forget it, time to go back and cook!

She turned around and headed back to the inn without noticing Cong Zhonglan hurriedly catching up, wanting to speak but then closing her mouth in disappointment.

As soon as Qi Yue stepped into the courtyard, she felt something was off!

Shen Yu, Zhao Shuanghua, and Zhao Shuangyue were eagerly standing in the yard, their eyes filled with anticipation.

Qi Yue pretended to be oblivious and chuckled.

“Are you… waiting for someone?”

As soon as the young girls like Zhao Shuanghua and Zhao Shuangyue saw her, they rushed over and grabbed her arms.

“Big sister, where have you been? You’ve been gone for so long!”

“Big sister, I haven’t seen you for so long, I missed you to death!”

“Big sister, please don’t go out for so long next time, okay?”

“….”

Qi Yue, who had always been coming and going alone, was overwhelmed by this warmth.

Before she could react, Shen Yu’s motherly care arrived.

“Yueyue, are you hungry? Mom tried making silver ear porridge, come and have some with me.”

Qi Yue’s hands were held by five women, an unpleasant feeling, so she simply followed them to have the silver ear porridge.

Luckily, she didn’t see Zhao Xiyan, which gave her a sigh of relief.

After a while, as long as she wasn’t feeling awkward, the awkwardness would belong to others.

The next day, as there was no rush to travel, everyone got up a bit later.

Qi Yue, who was concerned about Qian Faliang’s abundant fortune, told Shen Yu as soon as she got up that she wanted to buy some things and used it as an excuse to leave the inn.

The station, specifically for government officials and exiles, was far from the city, but fortunately, she had bought a carriage earlier, and there was a coachman available, so it didn’t take long for Qi Yue to enter Yuezhou City.

The streets were bustling with citizens, many of whom were plump, and their clothes were splendid.

Taverns, gambling houses, exchange shops, restaurants, and inns were lined up one after another, all showcasing the prosperity.

Qi Yue nodded silently.

No wonder Qian Faliang decided to keep his vast fortune here, this was practically a second Capital City!

It seemed like she would be able to collect a considerable amount of money today!

When she reached the most bustling street corner, she parked the carriage and found an excuse to send the coachman away; she decided to go about collecting money.

As soon as he arrived in Yuezhou, Qian Faliang said he had some good goods and wanted to exchange them for silver notes, so he went into the city first, leaving her only with an address.

While passing by an exchange shop, she had a sudden idea to exchange all the silver notes she had for gold and silver.

After all, as a modern person, she inherently believed that hard currency was more reliable. Moreover, she now had a space where she could fit any amount of gold and silver.

While waiting for her silver in the exchange shop, she overheard several shop assistants mumbling behind the counter.

“What’s with these days? Why are there so many people wanting to exchange for gold and silver? Could it be that silver notes are no good?”

“Who knows? Maybe they’re just whimsical?”

“Whatever, we make a profit from the exchange rate, that’s what matters!”

Qi Yue couldn’t help but feel that those people exchanging silver notes for gold and silver mentioned by the assistants had something to do with Qian Faliang!

With that thought, she actually hoped that the foolish Qian Faliang had exchanged all his silver notes for gold and silver.

She loved that idea the most!

With such anticipation, she no longer meandered about and immediately headed to Qian Faliang’s residence using the address.

From afar, Qian Faliang was already coming toward her with a hearty laugh.

“Master, I’ve finally waited for you!”

Qi Yue raised an eyebrow.

“What, you’ve exchanged all the silver notes?”

At the mention of this, Qian Faliang’s triangular face immediately drooped like a frostbitten eggplant.

“Master, I was just about to report to you. For some reason, the banks in Yuezhou deal only in gold and silver, no silver notes. Despite running my legs off, I’ve only managed to get… five hundred thousand taels…”

Upon hearing this, Qi Yue instantly understood the situation, yet kept a displeased look on her face.

“Oh, such a thing has happened?”

As Qian Faliang walked her towards the residence, he slapped his thigh in an act, portraying a look of great heartache.

“Ah, indeed! I don’t know what’s going on, but lately people seem to prefer using silver notes. This has delayed your important matters!”

“But rest assured, Master, everything stored in this residence belongs to you.”

“Once you free yourself from servitude and leave Longnan Ridge, all this will still be yours!”

Qi Yue almost wanted to applaud Qian Faliang for his smooth-talking.

What a talker!

Hmph!

“I say, Qian Faliang, you’re not trying to hoodwink me, are you? Where’s the stuff? Let me have a look!”

Convinced that Qi Yue wouldn’t dare to travel with gold and silver on her, Qian Faliang didn’t bother to hide it and led her directly to the basement of the residence.

True to the style of a villain, this place for storing silver reminded her of the Emperor’s private treasury.

To show his loyalty, Qian Faliang opened the basement’s stone door in front of Qi Yue without any hesitation.

Generous!

At the first glimpse inside the chamber, Qi Yue nearly cried out in surprise.

The structure of this basement was akin to an opulent underground palace.

Luminous Pearls were embedded in the walls, illuminating the entire basement as bright as daylight.

Of course, most of the brightness came from the neatly arrayed piles of gold and silver.

Gleaming and glittering radiantly!

This stash of gold and silver was no less than that in the Emperor’s private treasury!

Qi Yue even suspected that this place originally belonged to the Emperor and had simply been appropriated by Qian Faliang!

Sure enough, Qian Faliang pointed to the stacks of gold and silver mountains with a bit of pride, and said, “Master, actually, this place was initially built under the orders of His Majesty. But later… hehe…”

“Later it became your private property?” Qi Yue raised an eyebrow, her tone somewhat teasing.

Qian Faliang hastened to shake his head, “No, no, now it’s yours!”

“Alright, then I’ll accept it. I’ll come get it when I have the chance!”

Qi Yue nodded in pretense and left the basement.

She memorized all the actions made by Qian Faliang to operate the entrance and exit, mentally noting the best time to make her move.

In the end, Qi Yue accepted the five hundred thousand taels in silver notes from Qian Faliang and even took possession of the deed to the residence.

Seeing the pained and hateful expression on Qian Faliang’s face, Qi Yue felt rather pleased.

Unhappy now, are we?

Just wait until he finds out the entire basement will be emptied; he’d probably die of a stroke!

Then Qi Yue pretended to return to the post station and even purchased a carriage full of goods.

Since they were supposed to leave the next day, Qian Faliang also returned to the station that evening. Qi Yue saw this and was even more delighted.

After nightfall, when everyone was asleep, Qi Yue used her ability to turn invisible and left the station, taking advantage of her spatial movement…
