The Exiled Villainess and Her Shopping Dimension

Chapter 260

Soon, the royal physicians from the Bai and Hu Regions returned to the room. They saw Yueqian and Representative Ma sitting and chatting over tea, with no signs that he had ever been ill. Even Representative Ma’s complexion was no longer pale, which astonished them.

"Furen Mu, this, this matter..." the royal physician from the Bai Region exclaimed, at a loss for words.

Furen Mu’s remarkable skills had already been demonstrated once when she concocted a cure for the plague as soon as she arrived in the Bai Region. However, he had thought it was merely her good luck. But now, seeing Representative Ma awake and conversing normally, it was clear that Furen Mu possessed abilities far beyond theirs.

Before leaving the room, the physicians had claimed that she couldn’t possibly treat the condition. They had made excuses to the doctor from the Hu Region, suggesting that Furen Mu was speaking without thinking and couldn’t actually cure the ailment.

Now, their faces couldn’t help but tremble. This was a severe slap in the face, so much so that they didn’t know where to put their faces. However, in their hearts, they were expressing their joy. It was an indescribable sense of relief.

Finally, Representative Ma was not seriously harmed, and Furen Mu had indeed cured him. If this news spread, they, as royal physicians, would also gain some credit. They would benefit more from Furen Mu’s success than from her failure.

"Representative Ma, you...how do you feel?" The royal physician from the Hu Region hurried to him, quickly taking his pulse and examining him to verify his condition.

Even though a preliminary check showed no abnormalities, he wanted to hear it directly from Representative Ma. As long as Representative Ma mentioned any remaining issues, they could use that to save face.

However, they didn’t realize that Representative Ma had no intention of saving face for anyone. Yueqian had not only improved his heart condition but also revealed things he hadn’t known, like the poisoning and the true nature of his beloved. If this wasn’t considered a great favor, then what was?

To him, Yueqian was like a benefactor he needed to repay. He had already stated earlier that he would certainly give her due credit, so how could Representative Ma speak ill of her now? He saw Furen Mu’s actions as those of a goddess.

"I feel great, better than I’ve ever felt," he responded to the royal physician from the Hu Region. This answer left the questioning physician stunned. Not only did Representative Ma not express any dissatisfaction, but he even intentionally slapped their faces again, leaving a bruise on their face.

What did he mean by saying he felt great, much better than ever before?! Wasn’t this the same as saying that the royal physicians from the Hu Region had never taken care of him as well as the woman standing before them?

"I know what you’re thinking. Even if you’re displeased with Furen Mu, she is truly skilled. Just as scholars should learn from those more talented than themselves, so too should doctors open their minds to learning medical knowledge regardless of gender or age. Am I right?" Hearing this admonishment from Representative Ma, the royal physicians from the Hu Region were immediately taken aback.

Their faces turned red with embarrassment. Despite their lingering anger towards Furen Mu, they couldn’t deny the truth in Representative Ma’s words. As doctors, their primary duty was to find ways to heal. Historical texts recount how royal physicians would immerse themselves among plague victims, living as they did to understand the problems fully. After finding a cure, they would honor those who assisted them in their studies, acknowledging them as benefactors.

Even in the histories of famous doctors, this was the case. And what about them?! What right did they have to act arrogantly, ignoring knowledgeable individuals?! Were they superior to the doctors of the past? Did they possess more knowledge? All of this was just nonsense! Their actions were truly shameful.

"This matter, I..." The royal physician hesitated, wanting to say something but not daring to. Seeing this, Yueqian smiled and waved her hand slightly, pretending not to care much.

"In truth, this isn’t entirely the fault of the royal physicians. Heart disease is not easily treated, and I had not demonstrated my methods to everyone before. It’s natural for the physicians to have doubts. Representative Ma’s life is very important; we can’t allow just anyone who wants to treat it start treating it right away. If the physicians hadn’t expressed skepticism, that would have been more surprising."

Hearing Yueqian say this made the royal physicians feel even guiltier. Yueqian not only knew the treatment but also displayed great magnanimity.

Previously, they had underestimated her, which prompted this young woman to show her capabilities. Now that she had successfully treated the patient, she didn’t claim all the credit and didn’t hold their skepticism against them. Seeing this, they realized it was only their own narrow-mindedness at fault.

"Indeed, we were wrong not to trust Furen Mu. This time, you have shown that you truly have the ability to heal. It is a pity that you are only known as Furen Mu, merely the wife of a nobleman. You should be recognized as Royal Physician Mu."

Hearing such flattery from the imperial physician from the Hu Region, Yueqian smiled faintly.

Was Yueqian truly magnanimous? How could that be true? She was a little villainess, after all. Could she possess a good heart like the heroines? She didn’t take offense because she had another plan from the beginning.

As long as they were furious, once they saw how magnanimous she was, they would feel guilty and think better of her. So, from the start, she chose not to show how knowledgeable she was but instead talked about the poison, leading the royal physicians to believe she was accusing them, which made them angry. She then challenged and dismissed them, pushing them to their limits.

It could be said that if one lived, the other had to die!

But after the sky had fallen, within half an hour, she restored the chaos she created, leaving everyone in awe of her abilities and feeling indebted to her.

Even though she didn’t like the actions of the representatives, they were only there for a few days. Why not turn her displeasure into something beneficial? She slapped them in the face over and over again until she was satisfied, and then subtly manipulated them without their awareness. This was truly fitting revenge.

"For your remarkable abilities, I will certainly inform the Emperor of the Bai Region. Moreover, I would like to study heart disease treatments with you. When you are ready, Furen Mu, ah, no! Future Royal Physician Mu, you can bring your little son and travel to the Hu Region as our guest. We can discuss treatment methods and exchange knowledge!"

The royal physician continued. Although it was his personal decision, once people heard that she could treat heart disease, they would surely agree to invite her. They might even want her to come despite her pregnancy!

"I agree with the physician’s suggestion. I will also advocate for you to Ambassador Qin. If Ambassador Qin supports this, you will undoubtedly receive many rewards. You saved my life, and you deserve appropriate recognition," Representative Ma said earnestly. If he weren’t just recovering, he would have thumped his chest in affirmation.

"Thank you all so much for your words. I am just an ordinary woman who is worthless with some knowledge of healing. There are still many things I need to learn from you," Yueqian was humble, pretending to be modest like the typical heroines often do.

Hearing her words, they felt even more pleased. When they heard that Furen Mu had admitted to being less skilled than them, how could they not regain their pride?

“You’re too kind. We, too, have much to learn.”

"Let’s not flatter each other too much. You are all skilled doctors. Let’s drink! Where were we in our discussion about medicine? Let’s eat before the food gets cold. I disrupted the atmosphere once; nothing more will happen now. My heart condition has been properly cared for!"

Representative Ma interjected, ending the cycle of compliments. The royal physicians from the Bai and Hu Regions, along with Yueqian, then enjoyed their meal together happily. Even though Yueqian had brought food prepared from her manor, no one objected anymore.

The news of Yueqian successfully treating Representative Ma spread quickly. The story reached the Emperor, who summoned her to commend her personally. He assured her that she would receive appropriate rewards and praised Mu Heng for choosing such an excellent and fitting wife.

However, the day of the representatives’ departure was approaching. They had discussed and detailed many matters, and for the last two days, there were no more discussions needed. It was time for the representatives to relax and enjoy themselves in the Bai Region.

The Emperor ordered a celebration similar to the Moon Festival, creating a special day for the representatives to enjoy and create fond memories before leaving.

However, that evening, the Mu manor received an unwelcome visitor at the gate again—someone they would rather not entertain.

"Master Mu, one of the envoys from the Du Region has requested an audience. He claims to be the Young General and wishes to visit Furen Mu, who is pregnant. He is currently waiting at the manor’s entrance. What should we do?" The gate guard reported awkwardly, knowing who the visitor was and his significance to both masters.

The general’s brash behavior since the first day he met Furen Mu had caused quite a stir, tarnishing her reputation for several days. If it hadn’t been for the Second Prince’s consort speaking about bad luck and the holy monk’s prophecy, the gossip would not have died down so easily.

Moreover, the longer they left the visitor waiting at the manor’s gate, the more passersby gathered to watch the spectacle. After all, the Young General from the Du Region was strikingly handsome like a celestial being! And who told him to be so shamelessly persistent?!

How could he boldly claim he wanted to visit Furen Mu?! A proper man visiting another noble’s manor should state that he came to see the master of the manor. Yet, he dared to speak such an impolite request at the manor’s entrance, allowing many to hear. If Master Mu didn’t allow him entry, he’d be criticized for arguing about a lover’s affair—why couldn’t a friend of his wife visit?. But if he did let him in, people would gossip even more, calling the manor’s owner a fool for allowing his wife’s former lover to visit. No matter the decision, it was bound to be disastrous!
