These words were so disheartening to Qin Heng that he didn't like hearing them.
But now the situation is beyond our control, so we have no choice but to swallow it down.
Seeing his reluctant expression, Qin Yuan knew he hadn't listened, so she smiled and said, "Now that this matter has been clarified, let's talk about how to prevent the Xu family from causing trouble."
Gu Baozhu took the lead: "I may not be good at using my brain, but I am pretty good at fighting. I can deal with those hooligans from the Xu family like I did today."
Qin Siyuan hurriedly waved his hand: "Although we are related by marriage, we are still men and women. It would be bad for Miss Seven if word got out. How could I let Miss Seven's reputation be tarnished because of me? Besides, it's inconvenient. Miss Seven should quickly give up this idea."
Xiao Dong chimed in, "I can prepare a specially made powder for Brother Qin and Brother Heng. If they can't fight them head-on, they can pretend to fight and then throw out the powder to escape. To be honest, I've never lost a fight. On the street near Renhetang, nobody dares to mess with me."
Qin Heng immediately moved closer and said with a fawning smile, "I didn't expect Xiao Dong to have this skill."
Xiao Dong tilted his little face up, beaming with pride: "I've been learning pharmacology from my master since I was little, so naturally I know all these things."
Qin Heng then said, "I need some medicinal powders. I don't know if you can make them."
“Tell me what you want to say, let me hear it.”
Xiao Dong is putting on a very high-handed attitude.
Fu Ge'er also came over and said, "Brother Xiao Dong, everyone gets a share. You should also get a few things for me. I'm going to go fight Pang Cheng later. He and Pang Yu often bully us because they are tall and strong."
A real man takes revenge personally; only then will he feel truly satisfied.
Qin Siyuan laughed and said, "Xiao Dong's idea is good. I'll carry it with me, so I won't panic if I run into these hooligans again."
Gu Baozhu also said, "Xiao Dong, you should prepare some for me too. I see that those martial arts heroes all carry hidden weapons. Help me choose one that suits my identity and give it a powerful-sounding name. I'll throw it out as a sign of respect before I make my appearance in the future."
Qin Heng clicked his tongue in amazement: "Grandma, you're good enough at fighting. Besides, who would dare to provoke the Seventh Miss of the Marquis of Dingbei's mansion? You only need to mention your name to scare them away. Do you really need this?"
Gu Baozhu bent her finger and lightly flicked Qin Heng's forehead, which immediately turned bright red.
“You don’t understand. There are always those who are blind to the truth. Besides, there’s always someone better, and there’s always someone stronger. I’m not that kind of arrogant person.”
Qin Heng let out a howl, clutching his head, and glared resentfully at the beaming Gu Baozhu.
In the end, I didn't dare say anything more.
Seeing them making such a racket, Qin Yuan finally couldn't help but say, "Xiao Dong, get me a few things too."
Xiao Dong said with a grin, "No problem, no problem. It's just that I'm running a small business. If it doesn't cost much, I can just prepare it. But if you need a lot, I'll have to get some herbs from Renhetang, and then I'll have to ask you for a fee."
He's starting to resemble the money-loving Dr. Li.
Children really do resemble whoever raises them.
Qin Yuan laughed and said, "You're asking me for money..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Dong hurriedly said, "Of course, you and the Marquis don't need to give anything, but the others who are given more or more expensive gifts should give something."
Gu Baozhu crossed her arms and said dismissively, "Xiao Dong, give me ten taels of silver. Keep any leftovers for yourself."
Qin Yuan asked, "Heng-ge'er is right, you always have people following you wherever you go, who would be so blind as to provoke you? What do you need those for?"
I'm not afraid of anything else, but I'm afraid this sister-in-law will cause trouble when she goes out.
Gu Baozhu said, "Hehe, there are always times when I want to teach someone a lesson but don't want to do it in public. Xiao Dong gave me some medicine powder, and with my skills and accuracy, no one would ever guess that it was me who did it."
Fu Ge'er immediately said to Gu Baozhu, "Aunt, Xiao Dong's business is small-scale. Your ten taels of silver is a huge sum for him. When will he ever spend it all? Why don't you let your nephew put two packs in your name? It'll be a way for you to show your love for me, okay?"
Gu Baozhu was generous and immediately agreed.
Next up is Kang Ge'er.
Next up is Sister Lan.
Xiao Dong said, "I'll take care of Brother Qin's share."
The only ones who need to pay are Qin Heng and Gu Baozhu.
Qin Heng said, "Xiao Dong, you're even trying to make money off me. Are we still brothers? Why don't you help me get a few packs of foot cream first? I'll sell them to Xu Tang's soccer buddies, and then I'll get the medicine from you after I make some. How about that?"
Xiao Dong's eyes lit up, and he said, "I can also make medicated bath beans. You can take them and sell them to them. They'll smell nice, won't cause bumps, and won't bite mosquitoes. I won't let you work for free; I'll give you 20% of the profits."
The two were having a great time talking.
Once everyone had finally quieted down, Qin Yuan said, "Starting tomorrow, I will place some guards in the shadows to follow you, just in case. You should also be vigilant."
Qin Siyuan said, "Isn't this... too much trouble? I'll just go out less and visit the Imperial Academy less often in the future, it won't matter."
Qin Yuan said seriously, "What Xiao Dong said is indeed something we must be wary of. My brother has studied hard for ten years. If these scoundrels were to ruin it, wouldn't that be a sign that our Marquis's mansion has no one to rely on? Besides, it would be troublesome if my foolish younger brother were to fall into a trap. Whether we ask the Marquis for one person or two, it's all the same. Brother, you don't need to worry about these trivial matters. Furthermore, if my brother passes the imperial examination, my bookstore's business of writing essays will be secured."
"Brother Siyuan, you don't need to feel bad. My eldest sister is very shrewd, she would never suffer a loss."
Qin Heng hurriedly interjected.
Because there were outsiders present, Qin Siyuan could only say to Qin Yuan, "I will always remember your kindness, little sister."
Qin Yuan smiled and said, "We're all from the Qin family, why be so formal? Perhaps I'll need your help someday, brother, and you wouldn't just stand by and do nothing."
Qin Siyuan was even more moved upon hearing this and said, "Then I won't stand on ceremony. Please feel free to ask if you need anything in the future, little sister."
Qin Heng sighed, "No wonder my mother said at home that if my second sister had even a fingernail of brains, her family wouldn't sigh about her like that."
Qin Siyuan twitched the corner of his mouth, not wanting to speak.
Qin Yuan laughed and said, "That's not very nice of you to say. We're all older sisters, so you can't praise one while putting down the other. Your second sister will get angry if she hears that."
He paused, then added meaningfully, "Even for your second sister's sake, I can't let your second brother-in-law go astray." Qin Heng nodded, "I'm keeping an eye on my second brother-in-law and Xu Tang. If they do anything wrong, I'll definitely tell you and Dad."
Qin Yuan frowned at these words: "You should worry about yourself first. Let Sixteen and Eighteen handle the task of keeping an eye on people. If you really don't want to study, I won't stop you even if you go hang out with Shen Changle. Shen Changle said last time that the idea you came up with was very good."
Qin Heng remained stubborn and silent, so Gu Baozhu quickly gave him a wink.
Qin Heng understood and said, "Big sister, I've got it."
