The Divine Physician's Overbearing Wife

Chapter 823: Evening Feast XII

Even though many people knew how the Thousand-Odds Ginseng Fruit looked like, they had never seen it with their own eyes. Hence, everyone present was burning with curiosity.

Gu Shi was growing impatient.

This time, it was not merely about Luo Fei’s reputation, it was his daughter’s birthday. He did not want to mess it up. More importantly, he wanted to know what Qin Xiaoyue was after.

“Yiyi, since this is a gift for you, you could unbox it on your own.” Gu Shi turned to look at Gu Yiyi, his stern face melted into tenderness.

“Alright. Gu Yiyi pouted as she walked up to Gu Shi and unbox the gift clumsily.

“Well, there is nothing special about this Thousand-Odds Ginseng Fruit.”

A baby-shaped glistening fruit lied quietly inside the box. It was so adorable that one could not bear to eat it.

The corner of Qin Xiaoyue’s lips curved into a faint smile and quickly vanished without a trace. However, Feng Ruqing had seen Qin Xiaoyue’s reaction.

“Luo Li, what does your stepmother wants to do?” Feng Ruqing shrugged.

“She is not my stepmother,” Luo Li said, resolutely. Even if Luo Fei had fallen for this lady, Luo Li would never accept her.

“Qingqing, keep an eye on the fruit given by Luo Fei. A good show is coming up.” Qin Chen smiled, faintly.

“What?” Initially, Feng Ruqing did not pay much attention to the fruit. After hearing Qin Chen’s words, she furrowed her brows together as she looked at the finger-sized baby-shaped ginseng fruit.

Wen Yu was standing among the crowd with a smile on her face. She knew that Qin Xiaoyue was staring at her but she pretended to not notice that. She turned to look at a middle-aged lady not far away and gave her a signal.

The middle-aged lady read the signal and walked out of the crowd slowly with a smiling face.

“Young Lady Gu, I heard that this spirit herb has amazing beauty benefits and one can immediately feel the effect right after she eats it. As it was extremely hard to sow, we can rarely see it. Why don’t you prove to us that the saying is real?” Smiling, the middle-aged lady said as she slowly stepped out of the crowd.

Growing increasingly impatient, Gu Yiyi stared coldly at the middle-aged lady.

The middle-aged lady’s words had titillated the curiosity of the crowd.

“I want to know if the Thousand-Odds Ginseng Fruit is truly so powerful. If the saying is real, I want to get one for my daughter.”

“Young Lady Gu, why don’t you show us the power of this spirit herb? We want to know if this spirit herb is worth all the hard work to grow.”

“Young Lady Gu, since you said that the Luo family is no match for the lady that you like, if the spirit herb doesn’t turn out the way we expect, it proves that the gift from the Luo family is not as precious as what Qin Xiaoyue has claimed it to be...”

Originally, Gu Yiyi was dismissive of the Luo family’s gift. After hearing the words of the people around her, her eyes lit up.

‘They are right. Those who look down on Xiao Qing, I can prove them wrong. Moreover, I could take this chance to promote the herbal dish of Paramount for Xiao Qing.’

Jiu Ming told Gu Yiyi before that Paramount belonged to Feng Ruqing. Hence, Feng Ruqing was the actual master of Paramount. Hence, Gu Yiyi was actually helping the Feng Ruqing if she could help Paramount to get more customers.

“Well, since you all are so interested to know the effect, I will show it to you.” Beaming with pride, the corner of Gu Yiyi’s lips lifted.
