Farmer's Wife Has Magic Skills

Chapter 10

After lunch, Chu Qingzhi immediately rushed to the county.

When Madam Li came out after washing the dishes, Chu Qingzhi was already gone. “Chu Rong, why did Qingzhi go to the county?”

Chu Rong was a man in his thirties. He had dark skin and deep wrinkles on his face. His hands were calloused and looked very rough.

He shook his head. “I don’t know either. Qingzhi didn’t tell me.”

Madam Li was very worried. “She’s still a teenage girl and is impressionable. If she goes to the county all day long, will she learn bad things?”

Chu Second walked into the main hall and persuaded, “Mother, Fifth Sister is a sensible girl. Don’t worry so much. Besides, we have to believe her.”

Madam Li pondered for a moment. “You’re right. Qingzhi should have many friends in the county. Perhaps she’s going to see her friends.”

“That’s right, so Mother, don’t worry. If you’re really worried, we’ll ask Fifth Sister when she comes back.”

“Ok.”

…

At the Xu Mansion.

Xu Wanrong paced back and forth at the door. After taking a few steps, she looked up outside with an anxious expression.

The servant girl, Xiao Fang, persuaded her from the side, “Miss, the weather is too hot. Shall we go to the room and wait for Miss Chu?”

Xu Wanrong shook her head. “I’ll wait here.”

Chu Qingzhi was the only person who said that she could cure her face. If she did not see Chu Qingzhi, she would not be at ease.

At this moment, Xu Wanhui walked over with a servant girl. With a gloating expression, she said in a loud voice, “Is Eldest Sister waiting for Rong Yupeng here?”

Xu Wanrong immediately lowered her head. Yang Yumiao had already told her about Rong Yupeng breaking off the engagement. She was too embarrassed to face anyone.

Xiao Fang stood in front of Xu Wanrong and defended her. “Second Miss, don’t spout nonsense. Eldest Miss is waiting for Miss Chu, not Young Master Rong.”

“Is that so?” Xu Wanhui said sarcastically, “I thought that she looked anxious because her lover didn’t come to see her.”

Ever since Eldest Miss was disfigured, Second Miss took every opportunity to mock Eldest Miss. As a servant girl, Xiao Fang could not stand it anymore.

Xiao Fang said tactfully, “Second Miss, Eldest Miss doesn’t want to talk about Young Master Rong anymore. Second Miss, please stop.”

“In the past, you loved him to death. Now, you don’t even want people to mention him?” Xu Wanhui clicked her tongue. “That’s true. Rong Yupeng despises you for being too ugly. If he marries you, it will bring shame to his entire family. How unlucky you are. Rong Yupeng is a famous young talent in the county. It’s said that he’s about to take the examination to become a scholar. Once he does, he’ll be an official in the future…”

When Xiao Fang heard her Miss sobbing, her heart ached. “Second Miss, stop.”

Xu Wanhui said viciously, “You can’t take it anymore? If you see him marry another woman in the future, will you commit suicide again?”

Xiao Fang turned around and held Xu Wanrong. “Miss, let’s go back.”

Xu Wanrong shook her head gently. No matter what, she had to wait for Chu Qingzhi here. Chu Qingzhi was her only hope.

Xu Wanhui had enough of mocking Xu Wanrong. She wiped her sweat with a handkerchief and prepared to leave.

Just as she turned around, a thin girl with especially bright eyes walked up to Xu Wanrong. “Wanrong, do you miss me so much? It’s only been a while since we last met, but you already miss me so much that you cried.”

Of course, she was just joking and wanted to make Xu Wanrong happy.

When Xu Wanrong heard this, she smiled through her tears. “I was sad just now, but I’m fine now.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled and said, “It’s good that you’re fine. Let’s go and prepare the medicine immediately. The sooner I treat the scar, the prettier you will be.”

Xu Wanrong wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said happily, “Okay.”

When Xu Wanhui heard the two of them, she immediately turned around and pointed at Chu Qingzhi. “What did you just say?”

Chu Qingzhi did not know Xu Wanhui. She ignored her and looked at Xu Wanrong.

Xu Wanrong said, “Qingzhi, she’s my second sister. When she saw me waiting for you at the door, she came over to talk to me.”

Chu Qingzhi nodded. “Let’s go.”

Xu Wanhui looked at their departing figures and narrowed her eyes. “Find out what happened.”

The servant girl behind her quickly replied, “Yes, Miss.”

The herbs Xu Wanrong bought were all placed in the small study room. They were all prepared according to what Chu Qingzhi said. New novel chapt𝒆rs are published on novel(b)in(.)com

Xu Wanrong led Chu Qingzhi into the small study. “Sister, is there anything missing?”

Chu Qingzhi glanced around. “No.” She turned to Xu Wanrong and said, “I’ll prepare the medicine next. Remember, don’t disturb me.”

Xu Wanrong nodded. “Sister, I won’t let anyone disturb you.”

Chu Qingzhi walked towards the desk and took the herbs one by one. Then…

Xu Wanrong closed the door of the small study and personally guarded it.

Two hours later, the medicine for Xu Wanrong’s burns and scars was ready. Chu Qingzhi had infused some spiritual energy into the medicine to make the scars heal faster. The medicine in the bowl now looked like transparent aloe vera gel.

Chu Qingzhi said loudly, “Alright, Wanrong, you can come in now.”

Almost in the next second, the door was pushed open. Xu Wanrong walked quickly to the desk and asked anxiously, “Sister, is this the medicine?”

Chu Qingzhi placed the medicine bowl in front of Xu Wanrong. “Go wash your face now. After washing your face, come over and I’ll apply the medicine for you.”
