My younger sister insisted on marrying me and made me the Marquis' wife.

Chapter 117 What is the plan?

Qin Yuan's beautiful eyes watched Doctor Li's expression, not missing a single change on his face.

It was almost ten years later that I knew that the Chen family still had descendants in my previous life.

This time, she hoped to learn it from Doctor Li as soon as possible.

The old man was only breathing his last breath when he told her about his previous life. He only told her that the Chen family still had descendants, but he didn't tell her where they were, and then he died.

Two chrysanthemums blossomed in the corners of Doctor Li's eyes. He narrowed his eyes and smiled, sighing, "Alas... now that you have a strong backer, your heart has also become bigger. You are still a newlywed..."

What he meant was that he wanted her to gain a foothold in the Marquis' Mansion first before discussing other things.

Qin Yuan wanted to say something, but the little medicine boy came in to pour tea, smiled and bowed, saying, "The Marquis's wife is here."

As soon as the little medicine boy could walk, he followed Doctor Li to learn medicine and dispense herbs, and he met Qin Yuan many times in Renhetang.

Doctor Li laughed and said, "Didn't you call her Sister Yuan before? Why did you change your name now?"

The little medicine boy was stunned and said in surprise: "Didn't you say that Sister Yuan is no longer the same as before and has become a noble lady? I have to change my words."

"Puchi," Qin Yuan laughed out loud, and said, "Xiaodong, Uncle Li picked me on purpose. From now on, you should call me Madam in front of outsiders, but call me Sister Yuan when you are alone."

In her previous life, she had just returned to the capital with Lin Ziqi not long ago. Doctor Li passed away in a hurry and the child was not around. She handled the funeral in a hurry. Later she learned that Xiaodong was very hardworking and was admitted to the Imperial Medical Bureau as a doctor. However, he had a miserable life and was sent by the court to Yuhang County where an epidemic was spreading at that time. He contracted the epidemic and died there.

Qin Yuan, after living a new life, has come to understand that all the care that Doctor Li showed her in her previous life was not without reason.

This is because Doctor Li and the Chen family have a very deep connection.

In her previous life, she followed Lin Ziqi on an expedition, racking her brains to earn money and engaging in intrigue with Lin's mother. At the same time, she had to give Lin Ziqi advice and help him solve his problems. How could she have any extra energy to think about them?

Now, as Doctor Li said, she has become a noble lady, with the Dingbei Marquis Mansion behind her, so it is not easy for her to do anything.

Xiaodong was cute and clean, with dimples on the corners of her lips. Upon hearing that, she immediately called out, "Sister Yuan."

Qin Yuan took out a heavy purse and handed it to him, saying, "Use it to buy some candy."

Xiaodong glanced at Doctor Li.

Doctor Li's eyes were filled with emotion, and a gleam of light flashed across them. He nodded and said, "Take it. Your sister gave it to you, so how can you not take it?"

Xiaodong then took it and obediently went out of the door to talk to Cuiming and Hongye.

Doctor Li asked her, "Is the Marquis better?"

"He recovered naturally. It was the Chen family's ancestral ointment recipe. He only had a superficial wound. He was full of life in two days. A while ago, he went to the Jokhang Temple with the two princesses to pray for blessings."

Doctor Li frowned and said, "I heard you complain that he is getting better too fast? You are so secretive when using a plaster. What are you worried about? When you are no longer worried, we can think of something bigger."

Qin Yuan rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Did you hear something from outside?"

"People outside are talking about the Marquis and that woman surnamed Zhao, huh!"

Doctor Li swallowed the rest of his words and took a deep sip of tea.

Renhetang was not well-known, and he was just a doctor. Qin Yuan was the daughter of the chief academic officer of the Imperial College, so it was not appropriate for him to care for her.

Now that Qin Yuan has become the wife of Marquis Dingbei, Doctor Li has some things that are even harder to say. Qin Yuan did not feel abrupt, and said indifferently: "It is easy to spread rumors, but difficult to refute them. It takes only one mouth to spread a rumor, but it takes a lot of effort to refute it. Madam Zhao is the widow of the Marquis's benefactor. The two children around her have recognized the Marquis as their godfather and now live in the Marquis's mansion. The Marquis has been busy discussing merits and rewards with the Ministry of Revenue since he returned to Beijing, and has not had time to take care of them. Recently, he sent people to Jizhou to find Madam Zhao's husband's family to take care of them. The Marquis also said that if Madam Zhao doesn't want to stay, he is willing to prepare a thick dowry and take care of the two children's future."

"But..." Qin Yuan thought for a moment and lowered his voice, "Some things are not groundless, but it's just that the flowers have intentions but the water is ruthless. Uncle Li, don't worry, I know what's going on."

After hearing her talk in such detail without telling anyone, Doctor Li looked better and asked, "So what are your plans?"

Qin Yuan said, "I used to hold those prescriptions in my hands, but I didn't dare to do it on a large scale. Although my father has a great reputation, he is just a small official of the fifth rank. Although we are under the feet of the emperor, the powerful officials and wealthy families are free to act. If someone takes a fancy to it and insists on taking it by force, I can't do anything about it, not to mention that if it happens, I won't be able to explain to my father and stepmother."

The implication is that now that she has the support of the Dingbei Marquis Mansion and she is already married, there is nothing she dare not do.

Doctor Li glanced at her and said, "You are lucky after all."

Qin Yuan nodded heavily, "Indeed."

By chance, she married into the Marquis's mansion and no longer had to start from scratch. Her mother-in-law was kind and tolerant, and the Marquis did not stop her from doing things. She was indeed lucky.

Doctor Li was thinking of something and said, "Your maternal grandfather accumulated good deeds and saved countless lives. This is what you deserve."

Qin Yuan stopped talking.

Doctor Li asked again, "I heard you were looking for pepper everywhere?"

Qin Yuan was surprised: "How do you know?"

"You know what? It's all said outside that the Marquis's Mansion can't compete with the Qi Wang Mansion, so they went to other places to inquire."

Doctor Li said it lightly, but Qin Yuan understood that he was concerned about her and she didn't know how much effort he had put in secretly.

Qin Yuan said, "Yes, if Uncle Li has money, why not join me and become a member? I will help you make a fortune. Not only for yourself, but also for Xiaodong, you should pay more attention to it. It's not easy to live in the capital, and Xiaodong will have to marry and have children to support Uncle Li in his old age."

Doctor Li chuckled and said, "Those who sell pepper say that for some reason, the Qi Palace is raising the price. They confiscated the pepper but didn't let them sell it to others. Rumor has it that the wealthy merchants have gone out to sea to look for pepper. By then, the price of pepper will drop significantly. How can you make a fortune?"

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Uncle Li, if you believe in me, I will find a way to make a fortune. Even if they find this pepper, they can't get it in."

Doctor Li narrowed his eyes, his gaze like nails, staring at her tightly, and asked, "Are you serious?"

"Of course I take it seriously," Qin Yuan said seriously, "This is what I dreamed about."

Doctor Li: “…”

Qin Yuan added, "My Lord used my plaster and said it was good. I thought that in the military camp, we have to practice with real swords and guns every day, and we also have to play polo and cuju. There are many opportunities to use this plaster. If the Lord agrees, our Renhetang will have more business."

With such a sweet treat in front of him, Doctor Li gritted his teeth and nodded, saying, "Okay, take the two hundred taels of silver. Any more will be gone. I'll give it all to you."

The coffin Ben and Xiaodong’s wife Ben.

Qin Yuan smiled happily, took the silver note of 200 taels of silver from Doctor Li, and said, "Uncle Li, no matter how the price of pepper in the capital goes up or down in the future, I dare to guarantee that you can make at least 200 taels of silver."

Li Lang looked at Qin Yuan's purse filled with banknotes with heartache, but said nothing.

After leaving Renhe Hall, Qin Yuan's face darkened.
