Farmer's Wife Has Magic Skills

Chapter 9

At the Xu Mansion.

The elders sat in the hall. The atmosphere was a little solemn and tense. The servants standing around did not even dare to breathe loudly.

Xu Chong looked at the three people and his face darkened. “Yupeng, are you really going to break off the engagement?”

“Yes, and I’ve already discussed it with Wanrong. She agreed,” Rong Yupeng said firmly. After Xu Wanrong was disfigured, she was even uglier than an ugly monster. How could he still marry her?

Yang Yumiao clenched her fists tightly. She knew how much her daughter liked Rong Yupeng. She did not know if her daughter could accept the sudden news. “When did you tell Wanrong?”

Rong Yupeng said nonchalantly, “Yesterday.”

Mr. Rong said apologetically, “Brother Xu, let’s let the children decide whether they want to get married or not. Since the two of them don’t want to be together, can you agree to break off the engagement?”

Mrs. Rong added, “That’s right. Your daughter is disfigured now and cries all day long. Who would want to marry such a woman? Find someone else for her. My son is not lucky enough to be her husband.”

When Xu Chong heard this, the veins on his hand that was holding the armrest of the chair bulged. “In that case, I’ll make the decision to cancel their engagement.”

Rong Yupeng heaved a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that the Xu family would resist and not agree. He would never marry such an ugly girl.

A servant girl walked out of the inner hall and whispered something to Yang Yumiao. Yang Yumiao immediately stood up and left.

She clenched her handkerchief tightly. Her daughter was drenched. She probably attempted to end her life again.

The more she thought about it, the more panicked she became.

In the room, Xu Wanrong took out her pocket money and placed it on the dressing table. “Sister, do you think this is enough?”

Chu Qingzhi glanced at the money and asked, “Do you have a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone?”

Xu Wanrong nodded. “Yes, come with me.”

When they arrived at the small study, Chu Qingzhi sat on the chair and wrote the prescription.

As soon as she finished writing the prescription, Yang Yumiao walked in and pulled her daughter over. She sized her up nervously. “Wanrong, where did you go? The maidservant said that when you came back…”

As soon as she returned, Xu Wanrong changed her clothes. She was wearing dry clothes now.

“Mother, I’m fine. Don’t worry.”

Yang Yumiao held Xu Wanrong’s hand and reminded her, “Wanrong, don’t do anything stupid, understand?”

“I understand, Mother. I won’t do anything stupid in the future.” Xu Wanrong pulled Yang Yumiao to Chu Qingzhi’s side. “Mother, this girl can treat the scar on my face.”

Yang Yumiao’s gaze shifted to Chu Qingzhi. The skinny little girl was wearing rough clothes. Only her eyes were clear and bright. However, this was not enough for Yang Yumiao to think that Chu Qingzhi was capable. She could not help but suspect that Chu Qingzhi was a liar. She pulled Xu Wanrong to the side and asked softly, “How did you know that little girl?”

Xu Wanrong told her everything.

The fact that Chu Qingzhi saved Xu Wanrong’s life dispelled some of Yang Yumiao’s doubts, so she did not interfere and let Chu Qingzhi do whatever she wanted.

However, she was thinking that if Chu QIngzhi wasted money and couldn’t treat Xu Wanrong’s face, she wouldn’t give her any reward.

However, if Chu QIngzhi could cure her face, she would give her double the reward.

Chu Qingzhi handed the prescription to Xu Wanrong. “Prepare the herbs. I’ll go home first.”

Xu Wanrong pulled Chu Qingzhi back. She was afraid that Chu Qingzhi would leave and would not come back. “Sister, stay at my house for lunch. Where do you live? I’ll send a servant to your house to inform your family.”

Chu Qingzhi refused, “My family will be worried if I don’t go back. I’ll come back after lunch. It won’t take long.”

Xu Wanrong grabbed Chu Qingzhi tightly. She hesitated for a moment before asking, “Will you come back after you leave?”

Chu Qingzhi patted Xu Wanrong’s hand and smiled. She said gently, “I’ll be back. Don’t worry.”

Xu Wanrong was still unwilling to let go. “Sister…”

Chu Qingzhi laughed and said, “I’ll come back. You haven’t paid me yet. How can I not come back?”

Only then did Xu Wanrong let go. “Sister, come back early.”

Chu Qingzhi nodded. “Alright, prepare what I need. Otherwise, I might not be able to treat your face.”

Xu Wanrong nodded repeatedly. “I’ll go prepare the herbs immediately.”

Chu Qingzhi came out of the Xu Mansion and rushed home as quickly as possible.

…

Chu Second walked to the door and happened to see Chu Qingzhi. “Fifth Sister, I was about to go out to look for you.”

Chu Qingzhi pulled Chu Second and quickly walked back into the house. “Second Sister, why don’t you use an umbrella when you go out? What if you get sunburned?”

Chu Qingzhi’s concern made Chu Second feel warm in her heart. “You didn’t use an umbrella either, right?”

Chu Qingzhi quickly brought the fan over to fan Chu Second. “You can’t compare to me. I’m younger than you…”

Chu Second tapped Chu Qingzhi’s forehead. “But your body is much weaker than mine.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled and said, “I know. I’ll eat more, Second Sister.”

Seeing that Chu Qingzhi had integrated into the family so quickly, Madam Li was happy. She called out, “Come and eat.”

Chu Second replied, “Coming, Mother.”

When they arrived at the table, Chu Qingzhi saw that everyone was eating brown rice while she was the only person eating fine rice. She felt sad.

She poured all the rice in everyone’s bowls into the rice bucket. After stirring it evenly, she scooped a bowl of rice for everyone. “In the future, everyone will eat the same thing. Otherwise, I won’t eat anymore.”

When everyone heard this, they couldn’t help but smile.

Chu Tai sat at the main seat and said, “Everyone, let’s listen to Qingzhi. Whatever we have at home, we’ll share it together.”

“Yes.”
