"Qian'er, I want you to have a grand wedding ceremony at the Duan residence, and that's for your own good."
Qin Man forgot about the cold treatment she had just received from Gu Qian, and echoed Qin Shi, nodding in agreement. "Aunt is truly doing this for my cousin."
"Mrs. Duan is really too idle!" Gu Qian was extremely annoyed. He was thinking about what method he should use to stop the Duan family from bothering him.
"Don't you know that I am already married?" he said, tightening his grip on Qiu Yan's wrist.
Qiu Yan let him lead her, only wanting to see how Gu Qian would deal with this wicked woman.
Ideally, we should make her never come back to cause us any more trouble.
She really hates this kind of thing.
Her consistent approach is to eliminate any worries she may have about the future.
"The countryside? That doesn't count." Seeing that her words wouldn't work on Gu Qian, Qin then brought up Prime Minister Duan.
"Qian'er, this is your father's wish."
She had already heard about the encounter between Prime Minister Qin and Gu Qian at the Gu family tomb.
Although she was somewhat unhappy, she subconsciously felt that the relationship between Duan Xiang and his son should be eased.
As for why she couldn't tolerate Gu Qian back then, why is she being so attentive now?
Who could blame him when Gu Qian was a favorite of His Majesty?
To put it bluntly, her biggest reason was...
It was all so that his daughter could successfully climb up to the Emperor and change his family's status.
As for Duan Xiang, he's a good-for-nothing and can't be relied on at all.
Duan Xiang's high position was due to her father's support and constant assistance in handling matters related to the prime minister, which is why Duan Xiang has reached this position.
"What father?" Gu Qian had always known that if he were just an unknown nobody, Prime Minister Duan would definitely not acknowledge him. On the contrary, he would try his best to get rid of their father-son relationship.
“Madam Duan, I acknowledge him as my father. If I don’t, what is he to me? Go back and tell Prime Minister Duan that I, Gu Qian, will never acknowledge him in this lifetime!”
The Qin family...
Listen to what this unfilial son is saying.
Is this something a son should say?
"Oh dear, Qian'er, you can't say things like that. It wouldn't be good if outsiders heard it."
As Qin spoke, she frequently glanced around, appearing entirely concerned for Gu Qian.
Then, she softened her tone.
"Mother is doing this for Qiu Yan's sake."
“Madam Duan, if you continue to be so shameless and refer to yourself like this, don’t blame me, Gu Qian, for speaking without restraint and saying the most unpleasant things! Also, stop using the Duan family’s name to point fingers at my wife!”
Gu Qian paused for a moment, and when he saw Qiu Yan smiling at him, his dejected mood from when Qin Shi brought Qin Man to look for his Yan Yan and deliberately made things difficult for her dissipated.
"Qin, you know my temper, Gu Qian!"
Having said that, he moved closer to Qin and whispered in her ear:
"The last man who humiliated my wife has a grave where the grass has grown three feet tall. If you don't believe me, you can try me!"
Qiu Yan, her man looks rather...too handsome when he's serious.
Her mind raced, and she couldn't help but wonder, who exactly was the person Gu Qian was referring to?
She thought for a moment and could only think of Yang Shi, the original owner's vicious grandmother.
She bullied the original owner quite a bit and even personally caused the original owner's death.
The Qin family...
She almost fainted on the spot.
This unfilial son, how dare he threaten her!
In fact, she was indeed threatened by Gu Qian.
You should know that, normally, she was a figure of great esteem in the eyes of the Qin and Duan families.
She is, after all, a princess.
In all these years, no one has ever dared to speak to her like that.
Gu Qian was the first.
He's just a general, where did he get such courage?
Qin was both ashamed and angry, but dared not vent her anger on Gu Qian. Her angry gaze fell on Qiu Yan.
She thought to herself, "That wretched peasant girl, who knows how she's secretly laughing at me."
Qiu Yan smiled, her red lips slightly parted.
"Brother Qian, I'm tired. Come home with me."
Her voice was gentle, completely unlike her previous tone, which made Gu Qian's heart flutter.
What to do? He desperately wanted to take the young woman right there and then.
Think about it, but that's all you can do.
The sight of Qiu Yan and Gu Qian leaving right in front of Qin Shi and her husband triggered Qin Shi's emotional distress, causing her chest to heave with anger.
She kept clutching her chest, having brought this trouble upon herself, and had no choice but to leave with Qin Man's help.
Qin Man walked along, her gaze still lingering on Gu Qian's tall and straight figure, feeling uneasy.
The two walked hand in hand down the bustling street.
The seemingly harmonious scene was shattered by a question suddenly posed by Qiu Yan.
"Brother Qian, you haven't answered my question yet."
Gu Qian: "...What's the problem?"
Qiu Yan: "What a terrible romantic encounter."
Gu Qian: "Yan Yan looks so cute when she's jealous."
Qiu Yan: "..." Shouldn't it be, explain to her?
Okay, she believed Gu Qian.
...In the days that followed, Qin Shi indeed dared not come looking for Qiu Yan again.
Qiu Yan, on the other hand, continued to busy herself with the shop's affairs.
The first to open was Wangyou Hall.
On the opening day,
As always, Qiu Yan started by providing free medical consultations in front of the shop.
The general's wife personally saw patients, and the area in front of the pharmacy was extremely crowded.
Meanwhile, Qiu Ling'er and Qin Susu were busy weighing and packing medicine in the shop.
Qiu Ling'er knew all about medicinal herbs and was well-versed in pharmacology, so she did these things without much effort.
All she wanted was to speed up her typing.
But Qin Susu was different. She had limited knowledge and could only barely help Qiu Ling'er, and she was always flustered and overwhelmed.
Moreover, it always makes mistakes.
Sigh, it seems like all she knows is how to wield weapons.
She was constantly upset because of the rumors and gossip surrounding her these past few days.
Just yesterday, that so-called Qin Man,
They said she wasn't worthy of the Qin surname...
This led to a conflict between her and Qin Man.
Furthermore, Qin Man's words to Qiu Yan were unkind.
She punched someone so hard that they couldn't get out of bed for days and nights.
Thinking of this, Qin Susu chuckled.
But then Qiu Ling'er suddenly asked, "Master Su Su, where is the He Shou Wu I asked for?"
Startled back to his senses, he hurriedly searched the medicine pavilion for the medicine...
...three months later,
Zhu Juan and Xuan Ming's wedding took place as scheduled, with the blessings of Qiu Yan, He Jinran, and others.
Zhu Juan was married off from the General's Mansion, enjoying immense prestige.
On this day, the bride was welcomed by Xuanming all the way to the small courtyard he had just bought in Shangjin.
As a bodyguard, he had accumulated some savings over the years.
After their wedding, He Jinran granted them a month's leave, allowing them to enjoy some time alone together.
He himself could only continue to live in the palace.
He began to study poetry and literature.
That's right, he started studying seriously.
It was only because He Lin had said that he would be involved in the palace affairs in half a month.
That's why he suddenly decided to cram at the last minute.
In recent days, the concubines have stopped bothering him because he refused their advances.
In any case, their days in the palace were spent enjoying themselves.
Who would deliberately make themselves uncomfortable?
No, there is one person.
