The Marquis's Mansion was in chaos. The newly married young lady was pushed down by her half-sister and the young Marquis's concubine. She vomited blood and was seriously injured.

In the study, the Marquis and his family of three looked solemn.

After a while, the palace doctor came to report, "My Lord, the young lady may have tuberculosis."

"How is that possible? She was fine just now, looking very healthy!" The Marquis's wife asked in confusion, "Could it be that the Earl's Mansion married a sick daughter to us?"

When these words were spoken, both the Marquis and Xiao Huaihe were shocked.

"Doctor Zhang, have you made a clear diagnosis? Are you sure it's tuberculosis?" The Marquis frowned slightly.

Doctor Zhang bowed and chose his words carefully. "Judging from the pulse and symptoms, it's indeed tuberculosis. However, it could also be that the sudden onset of organ failure caused by the sudden onset of anger has led to the onset of tuberculosis."

"Doctor Zhang, can this disease be cured?" This is the question that the Marquis is most concerned about. A daughter-in-law with tuberculosis is of no use to their Marquis's mansion.

Doctor Zhang's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he didn't dare to raise his head. "Young Madam's condition is quite serious, so we can only take good care of her. As for whether she can be cured, I dare not say anything."

This is what it means to be incurable.

The Marquis waved his hand irritably, and Doctor Zhang hurried down as if relieved.

Now, only his family of three were left in the study. The Marquis glared at Xiao Huaihe and scolded him, "You've grown so powerful! You even brought back a concubine! Why did you marry your father-in-law's concubine? You've made your newlywed wife so angry. Are you satisfied?"

The Marquis's wife defended her son and said with a dissatisfied pout, "Don't be angry, Marquis! Maybe Su Wanti got the disease from her mother's family and married into our mansion without telling us. Our mansion was deceived, and our son is the victim. Why don't you feel sorry for him and blame him?"

"That's right. Su Wanti was sick!" Xiao Huaihe lowered his head and puffed out his cheeks, muttering softly.

The Marquis stood with his hands behind his back, silent for a while.

Xiao Huaihe always remembered his father's advice, looked up and asked: "Father, what should we do next? She has tuberculosis, so she can't get pregnant?"

The Marquis turned around, looked at his wife and only son, and decided to tell them what he was planning.

"Son, do you know why your father asked you to marry the Su family's legitimate daughter and why he wanted you to get pregnant as soon as possible?"

Xiao Huaihe shook his head, "I don't know."

The Marquis's eyes were deep and his voice was deep, as if he was about to tell a shocking secret.

"The current emperor has no children. The palace has spread the news that they will select an outstanding person from several marquisates and princely mansions to be the heir, to inherit the throne in the future."

Upon hearing this, the Marquis's wife and Xiao Huaihe both widened their eyes, and were so shocked that they couldn't make a sound.

Xiao Huaihe was also a smart man. After a while, he licked his lips and said, "My father asked me to marry into the Earl's Mansion in order to gain their support. Earl Su is extremely trusted by the emperor, and my brother Su is a general. The military forces will be able to help me in the future..."

The Marquis said nothing, but nodded heavily.

Xiao Huaihe was now anxious. "No wonder several princes and dukes I know have hurriedly married off. It turns out they are seeking support from powerful forces. Besides, having children as soon as possible will give them an extra advantage."

"Exactly." The Marquis patted Xiao Huaihe's shoulder with his broad hand. "As expected of my son, you understand everything. The current emperor has no children, which is why so many twists and turns have occurred. The heir must have children, and the more the better."

Hearing this, the Marquis' wife also became anxious, "My Lord, what should we do? This Su Wanti is a sickly person. If our son has no heir, won't he be at a disadvantage?"

The Marquis pondered for a moment, then slammed the table and said, "Let that illegitimate daughter of the Earl's Mansion give birth!"

Earl Su has one wife and one concubine, and three children: his legitimate son General Su, his legitimate daughter Su Wanti, and his concubine's daughter Su Ruohua.

Su Ruohua is the daughter of the Earl's favorite concubine, Liu, and is highly regarded in the mansion.

Su Wanti's health is really not enough, so let the Earl's concubine come. I think Earl Su and General Su will fully support his son because both sisters are married into the Marquis' Mansion.

After hearing this, Xiao Huaihe was happy and a smile appeared on his face.

"My Lord, I have something to report."

Outside the door, the Marquis's trusted butler spoke.

"What's the matter? Tell me!" the Marquis said in a loud voice.

The head steward said respectfully outside, "The young lady said that she knew she was ill and weak and could not fulfill her duties, so she asked to go to the manor to recuperate."

The Marquis looked at the other two with a questioning look.

The Marquis's wife was furious when she thought of the jade bracelet that Su Wanti had broken. She said bitterly, "Useless thing! She makes me upset just by looking at her. Just throw her back to the manor!"

Xiao Huaihe was also very angry. "She slapped Ruohua several times. She has a spoiled and violent temper and is also a sickly person. I don't want to see her again."

The Marquis had no objection and said to the outside: "Since she asked to leave, let her go."

On the second day, at daybreak, a carriage came out from the side door of the Marquis's mansion and galloped all the way to the farm outside the capital.

Sitting in the carriage were Su Wanti, Su Yue and Chun Tao.

Su Wanti looked calm, but she was extremely happy in her heart.

Step one: Leave the Marquis' Mansion, success!

Next, it’s time to think about how to have a fateful encounter with the emperor!

She stroked her chin, lost in thought. Suddenly, her eyes lit up and a wicked smile appeared on her lips.

"92, I remember there are erectile dysfunction pills in the system mall."

[Host, 100 points for not lifting the pill]

"Buy an Impotence Pill and give it to Xiao Huaihe."

[Host, using this product on others requires an additional 100 points.]

The corners of Su Wanti's mouth twitched. She felt that the system was like a ruthless profiteer.

"92, aren't we colleagues? Why are you asking me for extra fees?"
