She stopped and looked at him faintly, “Are you asking if I am the ‘Unnamed’ divine doctor?”
“Wife, you’re really smart.” He looked at her with a worried face, “Are you or aren’t you?”
“Would you like me to be or not be?” she asked in return.
Gazing at his wife’s plain features, her calm and indifferent expression.
Her temperament was elegant and otherworldly, even a well-bred young lady like Tao Meijiao was incomparable to her.
Xiao Yuchuan’s heart sank to the bottom of the valley, and he was almost certain that she was the divine doctor ‘Unnamed’.
For the first time, his bright pupils were covered with a layer of gloom, “I hope you’re not.”
Su Qingyue looked at the man before her, he was always cheerful and delighted.
Even at the most difficult times in the Xiao family, she had never seen a trace of darkness in his eyes.
Even if he didn’t say it, Su Qingyue understood that he was afraid of losing her.
Pear Blossom Villa was the world’s number one estate, so wealthy and powerful, even an ordinary person striving for a lifetime could only look up to it.
If she was really the fiancée identified by Master Chang of Pear Blossom Villa, and he came to take her away, he wouldn’t be able to protect her.
She said expressionlessly, “Third brother, I don’t want to lie to you. A few months ago, I saved a man who was indeed poisoned with Seven-Day Intestinal Break Poison. I helped him detoxify.”
At that time, although she could detoxify the poison, she didn’t know what the name of the poison was called in this era.
After she comprehended and blended a few medical books in the bookstore, she knew it was called the Seven-Day Intestinal Break Poison.
Her gaze turned to Tao Meijiao, who had come along, not hiding her, “The man I saved wanted to repay me, so I asked him to spread the reputation of the ‘Unnamed’ divine doctor. However, I didn’t expect that he would announce that I was his fiancée. And when I saved him, my face was covered, so he didn’t see my face clearly. Of course, it is possible that the person I saved happened to be poisoned with Seven-Day Intestinal Break Poison and another woman saved Master Chang, whereas I didn’t.”
“It can’t be anyone else,” Tao Meijiao said, “Seven-Day Intestinal Break Poison is extremely hard to find, and ordinary people can’t get their hands on it, let alone be poisoned by it.”
With that, she kneeled down to Su Qingyue, “Divine doctor ‘Unnamed,’ I am grateful for your great kindness in saving my father today. Tao Meijiao has no way to repay you, if you ever need anything, just call upon me.”
“I am the wife of the Xiao family in Wushan Village,” Su Qingyue said calmly, “Master Chang’s one-sided declaration that I am his fiancée will only cause trouble for me. As for the ‘Unnamed’ divine doctor matter, just act as if you don’t know, I saved Master Chang with my face covered. He hadn’t seen my face, and I don’t want him to come looking for me. I don’t want my life to be disturbed. Xiao Jiao, please get up.”
Tao Meijiao nodded, “I won’t tell anyone.”
Xiao Yuchuan looked at the woman in front of him, and even her plain face failed to conceal her dazzling brilliance.
And he, as her husband, was a genuine village man…
His heart felt as if it was pressed by a heavy stone.
His hand in his wide sleeve clenched tightly into a fist. If he were to persuade her to go and acknowledge Master Chang, her wealth and honor would be easily attainable, rather than being poor with him in Wushan Village.
But just thinking about losing her made his heart suffocate from pain. If he lost her, he was afraid he would die from the pain.
Xiao Yuchuan’s eyes were filled with complex and painful emotions.
