As she spoke, tears began to fall from her eyes. "I'm a woman, I understand. No one would be happy if their husband were to be affectionate with another woman. Just belittle me in front of her. For Ping'er, I don't mind a little injustice."
Lu Yan was immediately filled with heartache. He hugged Bai Wanyi and wiped away her tears. "I'm planning for our future. The expenses of the Marquisate are very high, and we need to come up with new things. We spent a lot of money on developing gunpowder at the border, and I'm afraid the cost of developing other things will be even higher."
"Isn't it easy to make money?" Bai Wanyi pouted dissatisfiedly: "If you had told me you needed money earlier, I would have helped you."
Lu Yan held her hand, treating her like a precious child: "Your hands are meant for great things, how can you let them be tainted with the stench of money?"
"You think this is pleasing to the ear." Bai Wanyi gave him a playful look.
Seeing this, Lu Yan's heart was moved. He hugged her tightly and refused to let go. "Don't worry. Once this thing is finished and handed over, I will ask for an imperial decree for you. Then, with the position of co-wife and the imperial decree, your position will be secure."
What about the position of crown prince?
Bai Wanyi leaned in Lu Yan's arms without asking. Forget it, let's take it one step at a time. If the father I found for my son is useless, then I'll find another one. If my son can have the emperor as his stepfather, what's the point of a mere prince?
snort.
Pingyang Marquis Mansion.
Qin Wan's dowry was collected from various places and gathered together, and there were many other trivial matters as well.
Tao Yao watched the door being repaired, and then let Qin Wan go back to the room: "Miss, are you really planning to divorce?"
"Of course. Ask someone to clean up the yard I brought as a dowry, and we will live there after the divorce." Qin Wan was thinking about what to do next.
She and Bai Wanyi have too many accounts to settle, and these are not urgent. The most urgent matter is another matter.
Qin Wan recalled the booklet sent by the village head in her previous life.
In her previous life, Bai Wanyi had fought with her for the position of housekeeper as soon as he entered the family. How could Qin Wan let go at that time? After arguing back and forth, Bai Wanyi was ultimately defeated.
In the end, Lu Yan gave Bai Wanyi two shops and two farms in the mansion to manage, which finally appeased her.
The shop was given to Bai Wanyi, but the people were not given to him because they were all servants of the Marquis' Mansion.
Qin Wan has been the housekeeper for many years, and everyone obeys her rather than Bai Wanyi. To show their loyalty, the managers of these shops gave her many of Bai Wanyi's prescriptions.
The recipe for making money is actually nothing important. The most important thing is the fruit tree grafting technology and hybridization technique.
In the previous life, because of this, Bai Wanyi secured the position of crown prince for his son.
In this life, Qin Wan would naturally not let Bai Wanyi take the lead.
Qin Wan counted the several farms she owned and chose a small farm in Qiuxing County, which was far away from the capital.
Qiuxing County is half a day's ride away from the capital by fast horse. It is surrounded by mountains and has beautiful scenery. The village is a bit small, but it has a hot spring, so it was given to her as a dowry.
Although thirty acres of land is small, it is enough to grow fruits, vegetables, and experiment with various types of grains. It does not require a very large area, as a large area will make it difficult to take care of.
The most important thing is that the place is neither far nor near, but it is remote and surrounded by mountains. It is a little inconvenient to get in and out, but it is also easy to hide from others. It is also close to the capital, so if anything happens, there is still time to rush over.
Qin Wan called Zhen Zhen over and said, "Go pick out some experienced farmers. I have something to tell you."
Zhenzhen agreed: "Yes."
Qin Wan thought about it, but still felt uneasy. She gave him a detailed warning: "Find someone with a tight lip, preferably one with a family."
"Understood." Zhenzhen mentally reviewed the skilled farmers on her farm and quickly selected some personnel: "I will send someone to call them right away."
"Just come early tomorrow morning." Qin Wan picked up her pen and began to write about grafting techniques and precautions for hybridization.
I had just written a few pages when someone came to report: "Madam, the Marquis has returned home, and the old lady asked you to go to Ci'an Court for dinner tonight."
Qin Wan paused her pen, and ink dripped from the tip of the pen onto the paper, spreading out across a large area.
Zhenzhen quickly helped her change a piece of paper: "Miss, are you still going?"
If it were in the past, Qin Wan would have gone there immediately, but now, she was unwilling to deal with that hypocritical face at all: "No."
Zhenzhen nodded and continued, "The Censorate also sent someone to tell me that Madam Chen will be free tomorrow morning and invite the young lady to come over for tea."
Qin Wan raised her eyebrows, instantly understanding what Madam Chen meant. She sighed softly and said, "We are sorry for this, Madam Chen. Please prepare some gifts and bring them over tomorrow, and also bring Young Master Chen's engagement letter."
"Yes." Zhenzhen turned around and went back to work.
Qin Wan wrote for the whole afternoon and had only written half of the various precautions for grafting technology. It seemed that she would have to stay up a little longer tonight, so she asked Yijia to prepare a cup of strong tea and then continued writing.
Until night fell, the lights were turned on, and noise was heard outside.
Qin Wan looked up and saw Yi Jia coming in to report, "The old lady brought the marquis here for dinner."
Qin Wan frowned. "They just had a fight this morning and left, and now they're back here again. What's up with these two?"
Zhenzhen said quickly, "We'll know in a while, won't we?"
Qin Wan nodded and signaled Yijia to put away what she had written, tidy up her clothes and go out to meet him.
A divorce is a divorce by peace. There is no need to socialize when they are not seeing each other, and she doesn't want to give anyone a chance to use her in their encounter.
"Hello, grandma. Why did you come here in person?" Qin Wan greeted politely.
The old lady was particularly satisfied with Qin Wan's performance. Her grandson was really capable. Look, he is different now that the marriage has been consummated. He is so obedient, isn't he?
For a woman, it's not a big deal. As an elder, she can mediate and give the couple a way out. Wouldn't the couple be able to live in harmony?
Thinking this, Old Lady Lu winked at Lu Yan, then took Qin Wan's hand with a smile and said, "You've been wronged by what happened today, so I scolded him to vent your anger. I asked you to come to my place for dinner, but you refused. I thought you were still angry, so I came to find you in person. You won't be unwelcoming, will you?"
"No way." Qin Wan helped the old lady into the house with her backhand, and asked someone to bring the old lady's food over.
The old lady didn't mention her affair with Lu Yan, but instead brought up Lu Linglong's matter: "I didn't educate Linglong well. I always spoiled her and didn't want her to learn to read and write with you, nor did I want her to learn housekeeping from you."
"I always thought the child was still young and there was no need to rush him to learn. Who knew he would get into such trouble now? If you want to blame someone, blame me, not Yan'er. Don't let it affect your relationship as husband and wife."
Qin Wan pulled her hand back, smiling politely and generously: "It won't affect anything."
