Chapter 1073 Unable to Control His Mouth
“My wife, there’s still some time before we return. Why don’t we start by using Yingcheng as a pilot city?”
Qi Heng thought it was feasible, so he launched the campaign first in Yingcheng and then gradually expanded it to the surrounding areas.
Especially in winter, when many people catch colds, they may be more likely to accept this concept.
"I think so too."
Lin Yuesha nodded repeatedly. She had had similar thoughts a long time ago, but at that time she was just a small business owner and did not have the ability to help others.
There are too many poor people, and many who cannot afford medical treatment. There will always be times when she cannot help them all.
Treating the sick and saving lives requires a very large system in operation, and only the government has the capacity to complete the necessary steps.
For example, Lin Yuesha herself couldn't assign ranks to doctors.
Next, Lin Yuesha will write a plan and then proceed step by step.
"Although I have never been to the outer sea, I can estimate the situation there by seeing these objects from the outer sea."
Qi Heng let Lin Yuesha choose her favorite items: a uniquely shaped retro bronze mirror, a music box, and a frosted glass vase, which were not commonly seen in Daqi.
"My lord, Old Man Lu plans to sell the goods he brought from the overseas sea to raise some money so that he can live a carefree life."
Now, a problem has arisen.
In Daqi, for many years no goods from overseas have been brought to the market, and they are always snapped up.
Qi Heng has recently been revising the laws of the Great Qi Dynasty, making maritime transport the property of the government and prohibiting private individuals from shipping goods on the open sea.
"Yes, the government will buy up everything on the ship first, and private individuals are not allowed to sell items from the open sea."
As for counterfeits, that's beyond our control. Moreover, it would be beneficial for the Great Qi if craftsmen learned more about the strengths of artifacts from overseas.
First, we'll take inventory, then estimate the value, and give the crew members gold and silver as compensation. All the items will be recycled.
"That's fine too."
Lin Yuesha thought of the two recipes that Mu Tou had mentioned. She needed to find a craftsman to experiment with them repeatedly according to the instructions. Mu Tou's recipes only showed the process, and he himself knew nothing about them.
Lin Yuesha left miscellaneous tasks such as finding craftsmen to Qi Heng's subordinates and began building the clinic according to her own ideas. Coincidentally, there was a large house facing the street opposite the Yingcheng Prefectural Government Office.
The mansion originally belonged to the wealthy Li family, but because Li Ruoxue and Li Ruoshuang were involved in one incident after another, they were accused of treason and colluding with the enemy. As a result, the Li family fell into decline and spent half their life's wealth to save their lives.
“Miss, the master has some important business to attend to and cannot leave. He has sent a message back, so you don’t need to wait for him to have dinner together tonight.”
At the door, Qingxing and Qi'er pushed each other aside. In the end, Qingxing couldn't win against Qi'er and had to go inside to report.
"Hmm, my husband has been busy for several days, but there's still no progress?"
Lin Yuesha put down her brush and ink and asked.
"Well... this servant isn't quite sure either."
Qingxing said with a troubled expression.
"Okay, I understand."
Lin Yuesha didn't suspect anything and was still researching the establishment of a medical clinic system.
With only a month left before their departure, both she and Qi Heng had many things to take care of, as they might not return to the North for many years after this trip back to the capital.
Outside the door, Qingxing touched her chest, her heart pounding with fear. She couldn't control her mouth anymore and kept thinking about betraying her master.
"What's the use of saying this? We should have betrayed our Lord sooner instead of dragging it out for years until now."
Qi'er and Qingxing were terrified, knowing they could not compare to their lord. They heard that the capital was preparing for the emperor and empress's wedding, with red carpets covering the ten-mile-long street, a scene of extreme luxury.
"Where did this news come from?"
Qingxing was stunned. This scene was a bit too grand. In fact, her young mistress did not like extravagance.
"Qi Lu wrote to Bai Cha saying that Young Master Zi Yuan had already made a show of things for the two of them, planning to hold a month-long banquet in the outer city."
Zi Yuan was tricked by Qi Heng and sent thousands of miles away. By the time he realized what was happening, Qi Heng and Lin Yue Sha had already gotten married.
Originally, Ziyuan wanted to expose Qi Heng, but now he doesn't want to anymore. Not only does he not want to, he also wants to pay out of his own pocket for a grand event, a celebration for all.
It's not like they're supposed to remove their masks when the couple bows to each other; Shion is just waiting to see what happens.
"Qingxing, you, me, Young Master Luo, Lord Xu, we all know the truth, but no one has told Miss. Do you know why?"
Qi'er comforted Qingxing, saying that it wasn't that the two of them were unwilling to reveal the truth, but that the Lord had been hiding this matter, and it was the Lord who should untie this knot. No one else had the right to relay the Lord's message.
However, what the two did not expect was that the Lord was so fussy and kept putting it off until now.
With the day of revealing the truth drawing ever closer, Qi Heng dared not return to the fishing village.
With only a month left before his return journey, Qi Heng panicked. He knew Lin Yuesha's temperament perfectly well; she had told a colossal lie that he couldn't reconcile with himself.
"My lord, in this game of chess, one wrong move leads to another."
Qingxing commented, "It's no use saying anything now. Just wait until they're exposed, then they'll cry, make a scene, and threaten suicide to beg their young mistress for forgiveness."
However, the fact that the young lady has been kept in the dark for so many years is not entirely the fault of the master alone.
"If Miss isn't upset, I'd really like to see this show."
These were Qingxing's heartfelt words. Since she began following her lord, she had never seen him make a mistake in his calculations. She longed to see the helplessness her lord felt when he couldn't control people's hearts.
"Me too."
Qi'er covered her face, denying that she was gloating.
As the sun began to set, the light inside the room grew dimmer and dimmer.
Lin Yuesha rubbed her eyes, stretched, and guessed it was lunchtime, so she called a few maids to the canteen.
With Qi Heng not around, she found it boring to eat alone, so she went to the canteen to chat with the craftsmen.
From afar, the aroma of food wafted from the canteen, carrying a strong smell of cooking.
Everyone chatted and laughed, talking about everything under the sun.
For more than two years, Lin Yuesha has been living a carefree and leisurely life in the peaceful fishing village. If it weren't for missing her family so much, she wouldn't be in a hurry to go back.
The younger brother had already begun to learn to read, but had never met his elder sister. Lin Yuesha had to send someone back her portrait from time to time so that the younger brother could recognize her.
"It's been more than two years, and there's been very little news about my stepbrother."
Lin Yuesha took the bowl and chopsticks and suddenly said something.
Qingxing's heart tightened, and she looked at Qi'er. Qi'er shook her head, knowing that her young mistress probably didn't know the truth yet.
"Young master is probably quite busy."
Qi'er tried to smooth things over, but said awkwardly.
At first, Lin Yuesha thought so too. She hadn't received any letters from her stepbrother. For a period of time, there was a disturbance among scholars in the capital, and Lin Yuesha even suspected that her stepbrother was involved and had passed away.
Qingxing twitched her lips. This was a good idea.
"Later, my parents let me know they were safe."
Lin Yuesha frowned and shoveled a mouthful of rice into her mouth.
You can't deny it; people change. Time and space can both change a person.
Before she transmigrated, Lin Yuesha always relied on herself and never imagined that she would depend on her family so much.
