Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy

In the afternoon, everyone gathered in the flower hall of Zhang's mansion.

Mr. Zhang bowed respectfully to Xie Qingli and Hu Er and said, "You two miraculous doctors have cured Shou'an. As agreed, this is half of the Zhang family's wealth. You can check the accounts."

The housekeeper had placed a stack of house deeds, land deeds, banknotes and a box of account books in front of Xie Qingli and Hu Er.

The two exchanged a glance, both filled with shock. Zhang Shouan had just begun to improve, but hadn't fully recovered yet, yet Master Zhang had already given him half his wealth without a trace of regret. His sincerity and commitment were truly admirable.

Xie Qingli shook his head slightly at Hu Er, who understood: "Master Zhang, we are treating Master Zhang out of our duty as doctors, not for your family's wealth."

He pointed to the money in front of him and said, "This is far more than the consultation fee. We would feel guilty if we accepted it."

Madam Zhang said hurriedly, "How could it be more than the consultation fee? Dr. Song's miraculous medicine is priceless. I would give him all my wealth."

After spending two days together, Xie Qingli discovered that Mr. Zhang was straightforward and trustworthy, with a certain chivalrous spirit; Mrs. Zhang was gentle, kind, and sincere. Both of them were rare good people, so he didn't want to hide it.

She smiled slightly and said, "Mrs. Zhang, you are too kind. The ingredients used in the preparation of these pills are not commonly used. They are just strong pills for strengthening the body and replenishing the vital energy. They are not some kind of miracle drug."

Mr. Zhang was very surprised to hear this. He thought Shouan got better because of taking miracle medicine, but it turned out not to be the case.

Seeing the two of them looking puzzled, Xie Qingli went on to explain, "Young Master Zhang has suffered from a deficiency since his mother's womb. Over the years, his pulse and breath have been weak, and poisonous fire has accumulated in his body. Over the years, it has been unable to be expelled, causing Young Master Zhang's condition to worsen. My master once taught me a set of acupuncture techniques that can help Young Master Zhang expel most of the accumulated toxins in his body, and that is why Young Master Zhang has recovered."

"Yesterday I lied about the medicine being a miracle drug, but in reality, I was hiding the acupuncture technique. Please forgive my mistakes, my Lords."

Master Zhang said worriedly, "Since Shou'an was saved, this acupuncture technique must be extremely valuable. You are a simple-minded person, so remember not to tell anyone else about this. Our family will only claim that it was the miracle drug that saved Shou'an."

Xie Qingli nodded: "Since there is no miracle drug, you don't need to spend half of your family's wealth. You can just pay the normal consultation fee."

Madam Zhang was about to persuade him again when Xie Qingli continued, "Brother Hu and I are both ordinary people, insignificant. If we were to carry a huge fortune, money would tempt people. I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to keep it, and it might even bring us disaster."

Mr. Zhang strongly agreed with Xie Qingli's opinion, but he didn't want to break his promise, and for a moment he couldn't think of a solution that would satisfy both sides. Just then, the housekeeper hurried over, walked quickly to Mr. Zhang's side, and whispered a few words.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhang frowned and looked at Xie Qingli, then winked at Madam Zhang, and the two of them excused themselves and went into the inner room.

About half a cup of tea later, the two of them walked out side by side. Mrs. Zhang stared at Xie Qingli with joy in her eyes and nodded with satisfaction.

Xie Qingli and Hu Er were both a little confused.

Master Zhang stroked his beard and spoke loudly, "To be honest, I've already sent someone to investigate your situation. Doctor Hu's parents are both deceased, leaving him with only a wife and a son. Miss Song has also been abandoned by her parents and lives alone in Lu'er Village. You two truly have no one to rely on."

"I'm not saying this to hurt you, but since you don't want to take my wealth, and I can't break my promise, I want to take you two in as my adopted sons and daughters. After I'm a hundred years old, the Zhang family's wealth will be divided equally between you, Shou'an, and the three of you. This way, we can have the best of both worlds."

Xie Qingli and Hu looked at each other in bewilderment. The turn of events had caught them off guard. Just as they were about to refuse, Master Zhang continued, "I have this idea, not just to fulfill my promise."

He looked at Xie Qingli with a serious expression: "I already know about the farce of exorcising the ghost in your family today. I heard that He always beat and scolded you, and abandoned you in Lu'er Village and never returned once."

"I thought there must be something fishy about He's desperate request for the position of abbot of Lingxiao Monastery, so I sent someone to investigate. The housekeeper just found out that the Taoist priest was invited by that old doctor Xue."

"That old fellow must be holding a grudge against you because of Shouan's medical treatment. He must have some ulterior motive in inviting the Taoist priest from Lingxiao Temple."

"Xue Henian is narrow-minded, greedy, and has evil intentions. I've been trying to treat Shou'an's illness by provoking such a person, which is like inviting a wolf into the house. If you two get into trouble because of this, I won't be able to rest easy, so I want to take you in and protect you two."

Xie Qingli said worriedly, "I have offended Doctor Xue. Although he has retired, his influence is still there. If you accept me, I'm afraid it will bring disaster to the mansion. It's not worth putting the entire Zhang Mansion in danger for me."

Master Zhang snorted coldly, "After I consulted that old man, I posted a notice seeking a doctor. I think I've angered him. In his eyes, you and I are equally hateful. Although he still has some power, and our Zhang family is not a well-established family, it won't be difficult to protect two people in Jiazhou Prefecture. Don't worry!"

Seeing Xie Qingli's attitude soften, Madam Zhang gently held her hand and whispered softly, "Miss Song, don't worry. I was attracted to you the first time I saw you. My master and I are not destined to have children, and we can only have one child in this life. If we could have a daughter as smart, kind, gentle and thoughtful as you, we would wake up smiling in our dreams. It's all your mother's fault for not cherishing us."

Xie Qingli was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "They are not my biological parents. My real name is Xie Qingli. I was born in Shengjing City. I was murdered by a villain and ended up here. I only recently learned about my life story by chance."

The three people present were all shocked. They didn't expect there was such a hidden secret.

Madam Zhang's pity was even stronger. She held Xie Qingli's hand tightly and said firmly, "Not all adoptive mothers in the world are like He. Since she doesn't cherish you, then you can be my daughter! I will definitely pamper you to the heavens and won't let you suffer even a little bit of injustice."

Xie Qingli's eyes suddenly misted. She had lived two lives of loneliness, and all she had ever longed for was a touch of family affection. She had never expected to find it in Madam Zhang. If she had been lucky enough to meet Madam Zhang in her previous life, perhaps she would have stayed in Jiazhou and lived a peaceful and smooth life.

Looking at the anxious expressions of Mr. and Mrs. Zhang, Xie Qingli choked up and said, "God must have had mercy on me to have met such a good adoptive father and mother."

Mr. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang were both delighted. Mrs. Zhang gently hugged Xie Qingli and called softly, "Good child, my good daughter." Mr. Zhang ordered people to go to Lu'er Village immediately and bring Li Lanzhi and her child over.

The next day, the Zhang family began to prepare for the ceremony. Hu Er's parents had passed away, and Xie Qingli's parents were not around, so Mr. Zhang invited the elders of the Zhang family to hold a ceremony to recognize the relatives.

The Zhang clan, with its head of household, was the dominant branch. Although some members of the side branches had complaints, they were unable to intervene, and the ceremony went exceptionally smoothly. After paying homage to Heaven, Earth, the Emperor, the Parents, and the Teacher, Zhang Shouan gained two new siblings, his sworn brother Hu Er and his sworn sister Xie Qingli, according to age.

The Zhang residence was decorated with lights and filled with joy, but the atmosphere in Renjitang was depressing, and the shopkeeper and his staff dared not breathe a word.

Old Doctor Xue's face was gloomy. With the protection of the Zhang family, it would be difficult to catch Xie Qingli. However, he, Xue Henian, was the former director of the Imperial Medical Bureau. If he stomped his feet, the Jiazhou Prefecture would tremble. Could it be that he could not defeat a commoner?

Doctor Xue made some arrangements, and a group of servants went to the various gates of Zhang's mansion to ambush, waiting for Xie Qingli to leave the mansion, and then took her to Jiazhou Prefecture...
