Chapter 309: More drama requires more money

"She said she wanted to apply some medicine." Yan Qingqiu looked at him as if it was no big deal.

"Why isn't it getting better yet?" Li Rongsen asked, a little confused.

An Yan coughed again, and even coughed up blood, and quickly said, "I forgot to change the medicine these past two days."

Li Rongsen looked at Yan Qingqiu and said, "You don't even remember this."

"You act as if you remember it." Yan Qingqiu immediately became unconvinced.

Li Rongsen was speechless after being confronted by him, and could only say: "I'll remember it for you next time."

"You guys go out first, I'll come back after I change the medicine." An Yan said, she wiped her mouth with a silk handkerchief and threw it aside.

Li Rongsen and Yan Qingqiu exchanged a glance, then quickly moved to the inner room, which really scared An Yan. She immediately said, "Didn't I tell you to get out?"

"Why are you vomiting blood?" Li Rongsen saw blood on the silk handkerchief on the table.

"I didn't vomit." An Yan denied it.

"What else do you want to hide from me?" Li Rongsen asked.

An Yan blamed herself for being careless, but refused to admit it, saying, "It's really not."

"Oh, if you kiss her, you will know if she vomited. There will definitely be a smell of blood in her mouth." Yan Qingqiu said while leaning on the wooden shelf beside him.

An Yan immediately stood up and said, "It's not a big deal. I haven't applied any medicine or taken any medication recently, so this happened."

"Your medical skills are so great, you can heal others, but you can't heal yourself?" Li Rongsen said as he took An Yan's hand and took her pulse, but found nothing wrong. He then said to Yan Qingqiu, "Hey, come over here and take my pulse too."

Yan Qingqiu said, "That old man's fire whip is just like that. It's irritating. It doesn't hurt anything, but it's very troublesome. You can't stop taking the medicine. An Yan is really too careless."

An Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She shook off Li Rongsen's hand and said, "You are becoming more and more unruly. Get out now."

"You should go home and take care of yourself first."

"It's not a big problem. I know what I'm doing." An Yan signaled him not to worry.

At this moment, Wen Jiayu was heard calling from outside: "Brother Rongsen, please come out for a moment. My brother wants to see you."

Yan Qingqiu smiled and said to Li Rongsen, "Hey, I advise you to get out of here right away. That little girl Wen Jiayu can't stand you spending too much time with Anyan."

"Don't worry about her." Li Rongsen refused to leave.

"It's better to have less trouble than more. It's almost time for dinner. You should find a chef to help cook. An Yan needs to have some good nourishment." Yan Qingqiu said again.

Having said this, Li Rongsen went out first.

An Yan tidied up the things on the table, and seeing that Yan Qingqiu had not left yet, she said, "Why don't you leave yet?"

"I'm not leaving. I need to see what's wrong with you." Yan Qingqiu said as he grabbed An Yan's wrist, first motioning her not to move, and then said, "As expected, you're not sick at all, nor are you poisoned or possessed by a Gu."

"That's why I said you guys are worrying about nothing. I'm fine."

"You're not okay at all." Yan Qingqiu bluntly exposed An Yan's lie and let go of her wrist.

An Yan could hide it from Li Rongsen, but it was difficult to hide it from Yan Qingqiu. After all, he was not an ordinary person, and he had a lot of strange experiences, but she still didn't say anything.

Yan Qingqiu actually felt that there was something strange going on here, and he was a little hesitant to confirm it. He looked at An Yan and asked her, "Do you really want Li Rongsen to find a wife?"

"Could it be fake?" An Yan asked.

"You don't like him."

“I haven’t thought about who I want to be with.”

"I'm asking you if you don't like him."

"Get out of here right now." An Yan frowned and refused to answer these questions.

Yan Qingqiu refused to leave. He stared at Anyan and said, "What on earth is that thing on you? Is it restraining you?"

"Everything has cause and effect, and debts must be repaid." An Yan only said this.

"Do you owe Wen Jiaer?" Yan Qingqiu asked.

"I must cure him, no matter what method I use, and make sure he lives past the age of thirty."

"This is the last year, right?" Yan Qingqiu asked again.

An Yan nodded and added, "The medicine I prescribed can cure him, as long as he takes it on time."

"Many times, we are no match for fate." Yan Qingqiu sighed. He was not a fatalist, but some things could not be changed.

"I believe everything depends on human effort," said An Yan.

Yan Qingqiu frowned and added, "I feel like the Wife Recruitment Conference is a waste of time. Li Rongsen might not be interested in her."

"There are always people better than you, and I'm not the best in the universe." An Yan replied, and then instructed him, "You should go back to West City and help the old man arrange this wife-hunting meeting and pick out the best ones first."

"Oh, you are so nice to Li Rongsen that you even choose a harem for him yourself. If he really picks a woman, don't regret it." Yan Qingqiu playfully reminded An Yan.

"Why should I regret it? Li Rongsen has always been free." An Yan said.

Yan Qingqiuqing snorted, then left An Yan's house. He went straight to West City to help Li Rongsen choose a wife.

The old man was really busy. It took him several days and nights just to read the postings, register them one by one, notify everyone one by one, and arrange the order of appearance.

Yan Qingqiu was much more comfortable than him. He was chewing some fruit and asked, "What time does it start today?"

"In a while, maybe half an hour, it will be here." The old man began to tick off the names, counting them one by one, and then looked at Yan Qingqiu.

He was now dressed as a woman, wearing a silk dress bought from the North Courtyard, with his legs crossed, chewing an apple in one hand and twirling a round fan in the other. He looked like a complete ruffian. It was a pity that An Yan gave him such a stunning face.

The old man couldn't help but say to him, "Hey, can you please be a little more womanly? You are a woman now, and a woman who deeply loves Mr. Li."

"Hey, old man, you're really going too far. Adding more scenes requires extra money." Yan Qingqiu rolled his eyes at him unhappily and continued, "An Yan only told me to be a woman, not a woman who deeply loves Li Rongsen."

"You should do better," the old man said, adding, "If it were you, the City Lord shouldn't have done this. If Mr. Li falls for someone else, wouldn't it be more trouble than it's worth?"

"Do you think there is any woman better than An Yan?" Yan Qingqiu asked.

"What if?" The old man was always a little worried.

Yan Qingqiu took a bite of the apple and said, "Why worry about it? I'll tell you when it appears."

At this time, a servant came over to report, saying, "Deputy City Lord, the eldest lady of the East Palace is here."

"What?" The old man was surprised. Lian Yan Qingqiu also stopped eating the apple. He wondered what she was doing here. Could it be that she was here for Li Rongsen? She was An Yan's good sister.

"Please come in." The old man signaled for his servant to bring the person up, then patted Yan Qingqiu and said, "Hey, hurry up, it's time to work."

Yan Qingqiu had no choice but to put the apple down and sit upright.

The eldest lady of the East Mansion was wearing a gorgeous dress today, looking incredibly beautiful. As she walked into the house, she said, "I heard that the West City is very lively recently, so I came to join in the fun."

"Hey, those are things that women outside who don't know their own limitations like to meddle in. How could the eldest lady of the East Mansion do that?" The old man said with a smile.

"How can you talk like that, old man? Am I not worthy of Li Rongsen?" The eldest lady of the East Mansion asked him with a raised eyebrow.
