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

Chapter 185 Pull out

Qin Yuan didn't bother to care what Qin Wan thought.

Qin Wan wanted to change her marriage after her rebirth, all she wanted was for Lin Ziqi to become the prime minister, but many of Lin Ziqi's opportunities in his previous life came from her.

Now that she is gone...

Even if Qin Wan lived longer and knew more than others, it would not be of much use.

Qin Yuan wrote and drew under the lamp, writing down all the things and plans he remembered.

Cui Ming came over to take a look and asked in surprise, "Miss, what is this writing?"

Hongye also put down the account book in her hand, came over to take a look, but still couldn't understand it.

The pages were filled with symbols, pictures, and some incomprehensible words, and I had no idea what they meant.

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "It's right that you don't understand. If you understand, I won't be able to do this. Haven't you heard the saying that the law should not be passed on to six ears?"

Hongye curled her lips and said, "Miss, you have to ask someone to do something. You can't do it all by yourself. If you ask someone to do something, how can you avoid leaking the news?"

This touched Qin Yuan, and she smiled and said, "I've been very busy these days, and the pepper issue has been delayed again and again. If we calculate the days, shouldn't we let Shen Changle do something?"

Hongye frowned.

Cui Ming asked, "Are we going to spread the word now?"

Qin Yuan flipped through the calendar, calculated the time, and said, "It's almost time. Tomorrow I'll ask the Marquis for some help to get some information from outside. I don't know what the situation is like in Prince Qi's Mansion now."

Cui Ming said worriedly, "Miss, we are trapped in the mansion. We don't know what is happening outside. The pepper business requires a lot of money. You should take it easy. It's better to wait until the mansion is opened."

Hongye agreed: "Yes, Miss, now that the money is about to be collected, it won't hurt to take it easy."

Qin Yuan knew that they were worried that if she failed with the pepper, Old Madam Gu and Lord Gu would think that she was acting unsafely, so she smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take it easy. Don't worry, the money you put with me will double and double again sooner or later."

Hongye smiled and said, "Miss, there is no need to rush. Let's not talk about anything else. Once you take over the household expenses, you will just be responsible for the daily purchases for the mansion. Can't you take over your dowry shop? Regardless of how much you can earn, there will always be more income. If you make more profit, you can buy some more shops and run them for decades. You will become an old lord in the mansion, so are you still worried about not having money to spend?"

"Also, the young lady will subsidize Cuiming and me. When a lucrative position becomes available, Cuiming and I will take it. We will not dare to withhold more money from the young lady, and the young lady will feel at ease with the money, and we will gradually become rich."

Cui Ming couldn't help but burst out laughing and said, "The beads on your abacus are really too loud."

Qin Yuan placed the brush in his hand on the brush stand and said with a smile, "No wonder you wanted me to dethrone the Sixth Madam. It turns out you've been eyeing the lucrative position in the kitchen for a long time. Haha."

Hongye pouted: "Miss, just say whether you will give it or not."

Qin Yuan turned around and stretched out his fingers to count for her. "Give, give, give, but you have to wait. In the first one or two years when I was the housekeeper, I didn't dare to use too many of my own people. You don't have any prestige. The housekeepers are doing a good job, so I replaced them. It's not right. Besides, I can't easily move the old lady's people. I have to wait until they make mistakes or get old before I can replace them. So, Hongye, you have to wait until you are over 30 years old before you can get a good job in the kitchen."

Hongye: "..."

Why is it so long?

Qin Yuan added, "I don't have many useful people around me, so I have to rely on you two to help me look after these housekeepers. I'm afraid that after you've been looking after them for more than ten years, if I ask you to manage the kitchen again, you won't want to go."

Cui Ming nodded.

Hongye thought about it and felt that what the young lady said made sense.

Qin Yuan said, "If you wait until then to get rich, you might as well hope that my business can double your share, right?"

Hongye asked, "Miss said to double it, double it, and double it again, then I must have 400 taels of silver, right?"

Cui Ming opened her eyes wide, still not figuring out what was going on.

Hongye shouted, "Is that right? Fifty taels of silver doubled is one hundred taels, one hundred taels doubled is two hundred taels, and two hundred taels doubled is four hundred taels." Cuiming screamed excitedly, "That's right, four hundred taels."

Qin Yuan smiled but said nothing.

"Four hundred taels of silver. My monthly salary in the mansion is thirty-six taels of silver. Oh, that's more than ten years of monthly salary."

Hongye said, "I'm rich, I'm rich. I must burn incense to the Bodhisattva and wish Miss's pepper business will be smooth and successful."

Qin Yuan couldn't help laughing and said, "Hurry up and get ready for bed. I'll think about it in my dreams."

Hongye muttered to Cuiming, "Look at whether the young lady is difficult to please."

Cui Ming talked to herself, "If I had four hundred taels of silver, I would deposit it in a bank immediately."

Seeing that the two of them were talking excitedly, Qin Yuan called the maid to fetch water for her to take a bath.

……

Outer courtyard, dungeon.

Lord Gu was in the dark and asked coldly, "Are you still not telling the truth?"

A pool of blood soaked the blue brick floor under the strong light. Doctor Liu collapsed in the pool of blood with a resentful look on his face. He said in a hoarse voice: "No matter how great Lord Gu is, he is also an official appointed by the court like me. You set up a private court to interrogate an official appointed by the court, which is a great crime for Que Yue. Do you think this is the Saibei where you can rule arbitrarily?"

Lord Gu's face was filled with coldness and severity.

"It seems you won't give up until you reach the Yellow River."

Doctor Liu couldn't see him. Everywhere he looked was darkness. He endured the pain and said in a hoarse voice, "I am grateful for the righteousness of Marquis Dingbei. I risked my life to come to the Marquis' mansion. I didn't expect to be framed by the evil people. Lord Gu, I only ask you, if I die in vain in Marquis Dingbei's mansion, how will you explain it to me, Marquis Dingbei?"

"Explain what?"

Lord Gu's tone of voice was very light, but very creepy.

"You should not worry about that, but how you get out alive."

"I am not a kind person. If you dare to lie to me and take advantage of my trust to attack my family, you must know the consequences."

Doctor Liu shuddered and said, "...I didn't..."

Gu Jinghui's narrow, cold eyes were fixed on the half-dead Doctor Liu, like a cold wolf staring cruelly at its prey.

If one thing goes wrong, it will pounce on its prey and tear it to pieces.

"Why did you and Yelu pass on the message through protons?"

"What collusion do Zhao have with you?"

"Why did you come to my Dingbei Marquis Mansion and stir up trouble right after she infected my two nieces with smallpox?"

Doctor Liu's face became increasingly gloomy. Although he still refused to say anything, his unconscious reaction was clearly seen by Lord Gu.

He clenched the dagger in his hand, looking frightening like a bloodthirsty demon.

His family is his Achilles' heel.

These people did such vicious things to his family and yet they wanted to get away with it, haha.

“Take him out,” Gu Jinghui said in a cold voice, “Liu Imperial Doctor is a man of high moral character. He dared to enter the Marquis’ Mansion and bravely die. Naturally, he would not be afraid of contracting smallpox.”
