Chapter 435: Chapter 436: Perverted Smile
Liu Zhinan had given her a jade pendant that appeared quite valuable, and several cousins had also prepared various gifts.
Among these people, Qi Yue paid most attention to Liu Zhiqing, the second son of the Liu Family.
In the previous arrangements, Shen Zikuang had come to deal with this very man who steered the Liu’s family business.
At that time, she did not know a family recognition ceremony was waiting for her, and had thought of many strategies to cope with the situation.
Now it seemed that this second son from the Liu family was not too troublesome a person.
The Liu family was divided in two branches, the eldest son’s lineage following a bureaucratic career, while the second son’s lineage focused exclusively on business.
And all the significant businesses were handled by Liu Zhiqing, who was quite remarkable in his role.
He resembled Liu Zhinan to some extent but was younger.
Perhaps due to being in business, his personality seemed more lively, and the merchant air around him contrasted sharply with Liu Zhinan’s scholarly aura.
He had given Qi Yue a folding fan.
The handle was made of pure white jade, while the face was reportedly made from a type of paper created from silk.
This place did have silk woven brocades for clothes, but making paper was indeed a first.
Qi Yue found the paper white as clouds and smooth as silk, subtly exuding a light fragrance of bamboo leaves, comfortable to hold, and it matched her attire perfectly today.
She immediately liked it so much that she couldn’t put it down.
“Yueyue is very pleased with this gift, thank you, Uncle.”
“Yueyue, your eldest brother told me that you are exceptionally talented in literature, so I guess you would prefer it your own way. That’s why there’s no inscription. Don’t think your uncle ignores the proprieties.”
His words fit perfectly with what Qi Yue had in mind.
“Yueyue wouldn’t dare, and I will also send uncle a thoughtful gift in return.”
Following this, Qi Yue had Qingzhu present the gifts prepared for the grandmother and the full moon baby.
A bit embarrassed, she bowed to the newly acknowledged relatives.
“I came in a hurry today, so I only prepared these two gifts; furthermore, I’ll prepare special gifts to thank my two uncles, aunt, and several brothers, and sisters.”
Everyone naturally understood that Qi Yue had known nothing before entering the door, and they comforted her with laughter.
Suddenly, Liu Zhiqing pointed at Qi Yue’s gifts, his face a mix of surprise and delight as he exclaimed.
“Yueyue, is this the longevity gift you prepared for Aunt Grandma?”
“Yes.”
Qi Yue smiled and explained, “I thought since Aunt Grandma is getting on in years, she must have some discomforts. Eating this should help her feel better.”
What she had Qingzhu prepare were two bottles of Carefree Pills.
This elixir had been hyped up in the underground market and had gained fame among the nobility of the four nations as a lifesaving miracle drug, with each bottle costing at least fifty thousand gold.
The main thing was that it was very hard to obtain.
Liu Zhiqing excitedly stepped forward, examining the two bottles of Carefree Pills incessantly.
“Big brother, grandma, do you all know what this is?”
Liu Zhinan naturally knew what Carefree Pills were, as he was the only one among them who knew Qi Yue’s true identity.
But the others were different.
Mrs. Liu’s eyes widened at that moment, her cheeks flushing with excitement, her voice squeaking with delight.
“Is this, this, this the Carefree Pill that can’t be bought even with silver?”
Liu Zhinan nodded affirmatively.
“Last year, when Officer Wei fainted while on duty, fortunately, Prince Rui arrived in time and gave him this, exactly the same.”
“It’s true, I heard Officer Wei only took three pills and it saved his life!”
Suddenly a young man interrupted, moving closer to the bottles wanting to take them, but a charming young woman cut in ahead of him.
“Big brother, this is the longevity gift our cousin has given to our grandmother, you must not take it!”
Speaking of which, she placed two bottles of Carefree Pill directly into Old Madam Lin’s hands.
“Grandma, did you hear that? This thing is worth its weight in gold, and if you eat these, you can live to be a hundred years old!”
These two were Lin Zhinan’s eldest son, Lin Jiansen, and youngest daughter, Lin Jianlu.
Lin Jiansen also worked in the Governor’s Office, naturally privy to much information.
The youngest daughter, Lin Jianlu, was naïve and charming, her devotion truly moving.
Although Old Lady Liu was already eighty years old, she was far from senile.
Upon hearing that the Carefree Pill was such a treasure, she immediately grasped it in her hand, her eyes narrowing with joy.
“It’s our little Yueyue who’s thoughtful. This old lady will definitely live to be a hundred.”
Qi Yue smiled as well.
“Rest assured, Auntie, as long as I am here, you will never lack for Carefree Pills.”
With these words, she once again shocked everyone present.
As a businessman, Liu Zhiqing rapidly calculated the possibilities.
Taking advantage when no one was paying attention, he sidled up to Qi Yue and started making inquiries.
“Yueyue, I heard that there has been no stock of Carefree Pills for over half a year and that Divine Doctor Qi has been too busy recently…”
At this point, he lowered his voice.
“…having no time to make them, where did you get these from? If possible, can you get a few bottles for your second uncle as well? As you know, doing business, there are always people I need to deal with…”
He was unaware that his little niece who had suddenly appeared was none other than Divine Doctor Qi himself.
Now that a conflict between Nanyue and the Longnan County Government was on the brink of breaking out, it was necessary to be cautious with such talk.
He hadn’t finished speaking when Liu Zhinan came over and pushed him aside.
“You, a businessman, what need have you for such rare medicine? Don’t cause trouble for Yueyue… It’s about time to head to the main hall.”
Qi Yue pursed her lips and smiled.
These people were truly well-informed.
Indeed, she hadn’t made any Carefree Pills for half a year, and the two bottles now were leftovers she had kept in storage.

Seeing Liu Zhiqing being pushed aside, yet still making gestures to her with his eyebrows, Qi Yue nodded with a smile, indicating she would handle it for him.
Then came the segment where the birthday star greeted guests.
The yard of the Liu family was large, with the front two courtyards temporarily connected as the place to entertain guests.
Seeing Qi Yue appearing in the main hall with the Liu family, the gossipy spirit of everyone ignited to the fullest.
“Looks like the Liu family is doing more than just celebrating a birthday and a full-month party today!”
“I think so too. Lord Liu had quite the roving eye when he was younger.”
“What does his youth matter? Even now he hasn’t settled down. Otherwise at his old age, how could he have the opportunity to host a full-month banquet for his son…hehehe…”
“Exactly, our Lord Liu may seem cold on the surface, but he is actually…hehehe…”
“…”
Qi Yue pursed her lips and listened in silence, thinking to herself, speak all you want, it won’t be long before you find out my true identity.
It was unclear whether Liu Zhinan heard the people’s murmurs, but as soon as he stepped out from the inner courtyard, he resumed his icy, keep-out demeanor.
Even the affairs in front of everyone were handled by the second son, Liu Zhiqing, and the eldest son, Liu Jiansen.
“He really shows two faces in front of and behind people,” muttered Qi Yue, as she began searching among the guests for Shen Zikuang.
Her original plan was to collaborate with Shen Zikuang at the birthday feast to help secure the medicinal business with the Liu family, and also, to begin getting closer to Liu Zhinan as a preparation for the events to come.
But now, she had become the Liu family’s long-lost niece, and Liu Zhinan was so friendly to her. Naturally, her original plan had to be adjusted.
So she needed to give Shen Zikuang a heads-up.
As she looked around, Wei Yixiao’s unsettling smiling face approached her.
