The transmigrated wife is crazy and ruthless.

Chapter 336 The Lingxu Ghost Hand Will Never Return

In the days that followed, Qiu Ziyue enjoyed queen-like treatment.

Two exceptionally good men were constantly around her, and Qiu Ziyue found it pleasing to the eye just to look at their handsome faces every day.

In addition, Li Cunxu instructed his servants to continue preparing high-quality tonics for her.

Qi Yuxuan served her closely, making her feel like she was dreaming.

Qiu Langyu, Leng Feng, Zhao Wanqing, and Madam Cao would also visit Qiu Ziyue from time to time.

Qiu Ziyue's complexion gradually became rosy.

His health gradually recovered.

Qi Yuxuan, Qiu Langyu, Leng Feng, and Zhao Wanqing discussed whether they should call the foreign aid team since they couldn't return anytime soon.

Qi Yuxuan said he wanted to ask Qiu Ziyue for advice.

After thinking for a moment, Qiu Ziyue said, "Actually, I really miss my master, my senior brother, and my friends like Liu Xu."

But we can't just leave whenever we want; that would only cause us grief. Let's not summon them for now.

Let them also experience a happy and peaceful life.

Qi Yuxuan and Qiu Langyu nodded.

Zhao Wanqing, however, said:

"I was so miserable during the time your husband and I were locked in the basement."

"Well then, I have a female companion, so I'll call Xiao Wan back. That way I won't be lonely."

Qiu Ziyue said:

"Zhao Wanqing, thank you. I like you more and more. Xiao Wan is your servant. It's really nice to have her as a companion."

Leng Feng said:

"Our Yu Yue Qing Xuan Feng team has grown stronger again."

The group looked at each other and smiled.

Before she knew it, Qiu Ziyue had been resting in Jinyang City for more than a month.

Summer has quietly arrived, with the sun blazing and intense, and the air filled with a humid and hot atmosphere.

That day, Qiu Ziyue suggested to everyone that she wanted to go out for a walk.

After discussing it, Li Cunxu and Qi Yuxuan decided to accompany her out, so that everyone could relax a bit.

At dawn, a group of people dressed in plain clothes set off from the Prince of Jin's residence, passed through the vermilion gate, and entered the streets and alleys of Jinyang City.

The summer morning light shines on the bluestone pavement, adding a touch of golden radiance to the city.

The streets are lined with lush trees, their branches intertwined, casting dappled shadows. Occasionally, a gentle breeze brings a touch of coolness.

Li Cunxu, Qiu Ziyue, and Qi Yuxuan walked ahead.

Qiu Langyu, Leng Feng, Zhao Wanqing, Alutai, Su Er, and Xiao Wan followed behind.

They watched and chatted at the same time.

Upon entering the market, one is greeted by a bustling and lively atmosphere.

The vendors had set up their stalls early, displaying a dazzling array of goods that were a feast for the eyes.

Fresh fruits and vegetables, colorful silks, exquisite handicrafts, fragrant snacks... everything you could want was there.

Qiu Ziyue was captivated by the scene before her, and her steps became lighter.

"Your Highness, would you like to try this?"

Li Cunxu handed a freshly baked mung bean cake to Qiu Ziyue.

The mung bean cake has a light, refreshing fragrance, melts in your mouth, and is sweet but not cloying.

Qiu Ziyue took a bite and praised it highly.

"Really delicious!"

Qi Yuxuan, standing to the side, was jealous:

"sycophant".

Seeing that Qi Yuxuan was unhappy, Li Cunxu quickly handed him a piece.

Qi Yuxuan glanced at him sideways:

"Not rare."

Qiu Ziyue and Li Cunxu smiled.

Not far away, an old man was selling homemade chilled plum juice.

The white porcelain bowl was filled with glossy black plums, and ice cubes swayed gently in the bowl, making a crisp sound.

Qiu Ziyue stepped forward, bought a bowl, and handed it to Qi Yuxuan.

"Try it, it's refreshing and invigorating."

Li Cunxu was somewhat displeased.

Upon seeing this, Qiu Ziyue bought another bowl and handed it to Li Cunxu.

Li Cunxu took the bowl, took a small sip, and nodded.

"It's really good, this plum juice is a great companion in summer."

Continuing along the main street, they came to a quieter alley.

The area is mostly comprised of traditional residences with white walls and gray tiles, exuding an antique charm.

Residents sat in their doorways enjoying the cool air, while children laughed and played in the alleyways, creating a lively scene.

Occasionally, a few barks can be heard, adding a touch of life to the tranquility.

"Well done, Cunxu. Under your rule, the people of Jinyang City live in peace and prosperity. That's excellent."

Qiu Ziyue gave it a thumbs up.

"Ziyue, this is all thanks to you. Only after winning the battle can Jinyang enjoy temporary peace."

Li Cunxu responded.

Qiu Ziyue said with a smile, "It's all thanks to everyone. I couldn't have done it all by myself."

At the end of the alley stands an ancient temple called "Longxing Temple".

The temple, with its flying eaves and brackets, carved beams and painted rafters, appears solemn and dignified.

The stone lions in front of the temple gate stand majestically guarding this sacred place, where incense smoke curls and believers pray devoutly.

Qiu Ziyue and others entered the temple, burned incense and prayed for the safety and health of their families.

After leaving the temple, they arrived at the banks of the Fen River.

The Fen River is crystal clear and flows slowly.

The riverbanks were lined with weeping willows, their long branches swaying in the wind as if welcoming their arrival.

Several fishermen were busy casting their nets along the riverbank, while a few small boats swayed on the water in the distance, creating a beautiful scene.

Qiu Ziyue stood by the river, feeling the gentle breeze on her face, and felt exceptionally relaxed.

"The scenery here is truly beautiful, with a more natural feel than the Prince of Jin's residence."

She said softly.

Li Cunxu and Qi Yuxuan quietly stayed by her side, enjoying this rare moment of peace.

Qi Yuxuan said softly:

"My dear wife, this place is indeed beautiful. If you like it, we can come here often."

Qiu Ziyue smiled.

"Great, these kinds of moments are truly precious."

As the sun sets, night gradually falls.

The nights in Jinyang City have a unique charm.

Lanterns hang high in the streets and alleys, their light soft and warm.

Food stalls set up one after another, their aromas filling the air and attracting passersby to stop and sample the food.

Street performers began their shows: juggling, storytelling, singing...

It's dazzling.

Qiu Ziyue and the others arrived at a teahouse, ordered several pots of tea, and listened to storytelling while enjoying the tea.

The storyteller, with his booming voice, recounted one captivating ancient tale after another, drawing rounds of applause from the audience.

Qiu Ziyue listened intently, as if she were in another time and space, forgetting all her troubles.

After the storyteller finished speaking, the guests began to chatter amongst themselves.

The sounds of these casual conversations unfolded like a scene from a traditional street painting on this summer night.

"Hey, have you heard? Lingxu Ghost Hand is in trouble lately!"

A woman slammed her hand on the table, her voice tinged with regret and anger.

"I was originally planning to spend a lot of money to have him make me prettier."

"It would have been so nice to get my deadbeat husband to look at me one more time, but who would have thought he'd be murdered!"

These words caused a brief moment of silence in the teahouse before erupting into a cacophony of noise.

Someone exclaimed:

"What? Lingxu Ghost Hand is dead? That can't be! He was a world-renowned medical master!"

Another middle-aged man shook his head and sighed:

"Alas, the world is getting more and more chaotic. It is said that his body was found in the mountains and forests, buried shallowly."

It's possible that the rain washed it out, and it was dragged out by wolves. Luckily, a hunter happened to be passing by, preventing the carcass from being eaten.

"Poor old man..."

An elderly man beside him stroked his beard, his voice filled with sorrow.

"Old Man Lingxu was not only highly skilled in medicine, but also kind-hearted, often treating poor people for free."

Who could bring themselves to do such a cruel thing? The Lingxu Ghost Hand will never be seen again in this world!

Upon hearing this, Qiu Ziyue frowned and whispered to Li Cunxu:

"Lingxu Ghost Hand? That name sounds familiar. Could it be that renowned doctor famous for his plastic surgery skills?"

Li Cunxu nodded and explained:

"Indeed, Lingxu Ghost Hand is a top-notch healer, especially skilled in facial repair and reconstruction."

It is said that he restored the appearances of many wounded soldiers; however, it is truly perplexing that such a person would suffer such a tragic fate.

Qi Yuxuan added:

"Moreover, Lingxu Ghost Hand also possesses many unknown secrets."

Rumor has it that he possesses an ancient book containing many long-lost medical techniques.

The discussion in the teahouse continued.

"Hmph, it must have been the work of those greedy villains!"

I've heard that Lingxu Ghost Hand is incredibly wealthy, making a fortune just by performing surgeries on high-ranking officials and nobles.

"I said indignantly."

"That can't be right,"

Another guest countered,

"I've heard that Lingxu Ghost Hand lived a frugal life and sought nothing but medical skills. He gave all the money he earned to the poor."

At this moment, a drunkard in the corner suddenly interrupted, his voice slurred:

"Hey, did you guys know? Some people say that Lingxu Ghost Hand isn't an ordinary person; he's a reincarnated deity! Anyone who kills him will definitely suffer retribution!"

This remark drew laughter from the entire audience, and even Qiu Ziyue couldn't help but smile.

However, after the laughter subsided, a strange sense of heaviness enveloped everyone's hearts.

Qiu Ziyue pondered for a moment and asked:

"If it really was murder for money, then the murderer probably wouldn't have given up so easily, right?"

After all, what Lingxu Ghost Hand left behind might be far more important than we imagine.

Li Cunxu comforted him, saying:

"Twilight, don't worry too much. I will send people to find out the truth."

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside the teahouse.

A ragged beggar burst in, panting, and shouted:

"Esteemed guests, something terrible has happened! I just saw several corpses near the mountains that appear to be those of Lingxu Ghost Hand's disciples."

They were all completely mangled, a truly horrific sight!

These words caused another uproar in the teahouse.

Qiu Ziyue's heart tightened suddenly—

The death of Lingxu Ghost Hand appears to be more than just an isolated incident; it seems to be a meticulously planned conspiracy…

To be continued in the next chapter!
