Triplets: Lucky Mommy is a Beautiful Badass

"Is it possible that she became Heir Pei's concubine?" a neighborhood head suddenly asked.

The crowd, "..."

It was dead silence.

Jiang Yeqian could not stop himself from saying, "He is Lord Heir, why would he take a fancy to a widow with three kids?" Does this group of people know about nothing but concubines?

Everyone suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

That was also true.

The Lord Heir definitely would not take fancy to a country girl like Qi Qingyao.

Not to mention she had three children.

So...

Old Man Yang's wife was sitting at the side cracking melon seeds when she cut in all of a sudden, "Maybe the Lord Heir has a distinct preference, hahaha..."

Everyone turned to look back at her.

Old Man Yang's wife paused. Lowering her head, she added, "Ignore what I said."

The crowd was silent. "..."

She said it pretty clearly though.

She even said that Lord Heir had a distinct preference and had specifically chosen a widow to lay his hands on.

Could it be...

Besides...

The tastes of upper-class individuals were indeed quite different from normal people, it just might be that…

Everyone looked at Qi Qingyao's face and noted that it certainly did look nice enough for her to become a concubine.

Jiang Yeqian frowned inexplicably, none too happy.

Si Jin looked at the group who were still in lively conversation and did not say a word, only looking at Qi Qingyao worriedly.

His expression solemn, Ma Sanye said, "The probability for this is unlikely as a lot of people know that Heir Pei is very ill and there are rumors outside that he will soon pass. So, it's impossible that he'd get a woman to be his concubine at this time."

Ma Sanye looked at Qi Qingyao helplessly, "Eleventh Daughter, just say it in one breath about what the hell is going on. Don't keep us guessing here."

Qi Qingyao spread her hands and said with a bit of difficulty, "A few days ago, I met a miraculous physician surnamed Su. His name was Su-something-Xiao and he gave me a prescription to cure the Lord Heir. I followed his instructions and somehow cured the Lord Heir after that. The Lord Heir then gave me a consultation fee. It's all as simple as that."

The crowd, "…"

Jiang Yeqian, "..." The f*ck?

Jiang Yeqian truly admired her in that second.

This excuse was really something else.

Su-something-Xiao, was that not just Su Hexiao?

Qi Qingyao's hesitant behavior from before made sense now that she brought up Su Hexiao, one of the three miraculous doctors from legends. Su Hexiao's whereabouts were too mysterious and she did not want to expose him and so, that was why she had been reluctant to speak.

Su Hexiao wanted to save the Lord Heir but not by his own hand so he gave her the prescription…

It made so much f*cking sense.

Xiaobao tilted his head and looked at his mother's profile, his mind full of questions. His mother had clearly been the one who treated Heir Pei so why was Su-something-Xiao involved? He could not understand this since he was still young and his mind was undeveloped.

The minds of Dabao and Erniu who were sitting on the side were just thinking, 'I'm a little hungry, I wonder when we can eat. If the village head's family doesn't care about our meals, will we have to head back to town before we can get any food?'

"It's that simple?" Ma Sanye was confused for a while before he finally asked.

Qi Qingyao answered, "It's up to you all if you believe it or not."

Her reason felt believable but also not.

Besides, if these people really went to the Heir's residence to ask if she had been there the past few days, it would still be considered true.

The Lord Heir had indeed been rescued by her.

The story...was almost completely true.

Hence, there were hardly any loopholes.

...

In the afternoon, chimney smoke rose in spirals in every part of Linquan Village, filling the area with the smell of smoke.

A few children were playing on the street when they suddenly saw another carriage headed toward the village from a distance.

The children quickly rushed to inform the adults.

"Father, there's another carriage there."

"A carriage?" Again?

"Look over there…"

There really was!

Not only that, this carriage was even more luxurious than the one Qi Qingyao rode in.

What was going on? Who was this now?
