Fang Yuan smiled and asked, "You mean...you want to marry me?"
The fact that this guy told him this means that his mother has lowered her standards for his wife, making her eligible to marry him.
But what does that have to do with her? She didn't want to marry him anyway.
Wei Canglan hadn't expected Fang Yuan to be so blunt, but he still nodded.
"Indeed, haven't I made it obvious enough during this period?"
After he returned to the capital, in addition to the previous gifts of thanks, he tried every means to send her things, and she still didn't notice.
Unexpectedly, Fang Yuan smiled gently: "Fourth Young Master, why do you assume that I necessarily want to marry you?"
"I love you and have offered you the position of my principal wife. Are you still unwilling?" Wei Canglan asked Fang Yuan.
This girl has been back for so long, doesn't she know what the princess's identity is?
That's an identity that most people can only dream of in their entire lives.
Fang Yuan looked at him directly and said, "I don't want to be a princess. I just want to be with one person for life."
At the same time, she mentally instructed the system to search for pills in the exchange space, specifically those that could make this guy forget her.
"Just you alone?"
Wei Canglan's expression turned cold as he fell into deep thought.
If he wants the throne, he can't possibly have only Fang Yuan as his woman.
The events that occurred in the capital during this period confirmed to him that he had truly been reborn.
Since that's the case, he also wants to compete for that position.
“That’s right, my parents’ and my maternal grandmother’s families are all like that, so naturally I want to find a husband who treats me the same way,” Fang Yuan replied with a light laugh.
Her reply was completely unpretentious and straightforward, which greatly displeased Wei Canglan.
He persisted, saying, "I can guarantee that I will only dote on you, and you may even rise to a higher position in the future."
That position of Empress, second only to the Emperor, is something every woman would want, right?
"Fourth Young Master... how about we discuss this later? Let me take your pulse instead?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Yuan immediately changed the subject, no longer wanting to provoke him.
As for what she just said, she treated it as nothing.
This guy just wants to enjoy the blessings of having multiple wives; all men in ancient times were the same in their base instincts.
If you're so capable, let this old lady go to a matriarchal world, and she'll marry ten or eight of them.
“Alright!” Wei Canglan nodded.
Fang Yuan changed the subject, and he followed suit to avoid the conversation running out of steam.
He also wanted to try Fang Yuan's medical skills.
"That arrow injured your meridians, but it's nothing serious. I have a pill here that can cure it. Would you like to take it now, young master?"
As Fang Yuan spoke, he handed over a porcelain bottle, simultaneously blocking his view.
He secretly had the system put the purchased pills into his tea.
"I'll accept this medicine for now, but I can't take it now, at least not before I marry you."
As Wei Canglan spoke, he placed the hand that had taken the porcelain bottle over Fang Yuan's hand, looking at her with a hint of joy in his eyes.
Sure enough, the girl's medical skills were quite good, and she did not disappoint him.
Fang Yuan pulled his hand back, then picked up his teacup: "Young master, please have some tea. This tea is excellent; it would be a shame not to drink it!"
She even took a sip as she spoke, but the taste was just so-so.
Wei Canglan put the small porcelain bottle into his bosom, chuckled softly, and picked up his teacup to take a sip.
"It's really good."
The tea wasn't anything special, but his mood was.
After watching the man drink the tea, Fang Yuan stood up and bowed.
"Since Fourth Young Master is alright, I should be going now. My cousin is waiting for me, so I'll take my leave!"
Watching Fang Yuan's hurried departure, Wei Canglan shook his head and sighed helplessly.
"The old lady of the Dingyuan Marquis's mansion really spoils her... She hasn't taught her manners at all since she came back."
As Fang Yuan left the private room, he asked the system in his mind, "Will this Forgetfulness Pill work if he only drinks one sip?"
[A pill costing 500 gold coins—can you really believe it?]
Five hundred gold coins?
Fang Yuan felt a pang of pain in his heart. What kind of damn Forgetfulness Pill was this, and why was it so expensive?
The elixir is expensive, but it's worth the price. He just needs to go back and get some sleep, and he'll forget everything about you when he wakes up tomorrow.
"How can you be so sure he's only forgotten me? The way he's scheming against me doesn't seem like he loves me at all. What love has he forgotten?"
Fang Yuan felt that the name "Forget-Love Pill" was completely inaccurate given their current situation.
The "Forgetfulness Pill" is just a name; its true power lies in its effects. This pill contains your blood, so he will only forget you.
"I see?"
Fang Yuan nodded, then realized, "Wait a minute? When did you steal my blood?"
Where did her blood come from? How could this guy steal her blood?
[The system didn't steal it; it was leaked when you first transmigrated. The system simply collected some of it.]
Fang Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief:
"As a system, you must have professional ethics. You can't touch my things without my permission."
Does helping you collect unclaimed items count?
"·····"
These words silenced Fang Yuan for a moment, then he gave a fierce warning;
"Anyway, you're not allowed to do anything bad. If you can collect something, you must help me collect it. If you can't collect something, you must remind me to collect it in time."
[System received]
It relies on Fang Yuan's spiritual power to help collect things, and since the host needs them, it will collect them.
"It's fine as long as the money's gone. After all, he gave me a lot of valuable things recently, so consider this pill a gift from me!"
Fang Yuan comforted himself to ease his heartache.
This guy is too calculating; she's afraid she won't live to a ripe old age if she stays with him.
As for the so-called principal wife? In old-fashioned melodramatic dramas, she's just cannon fodder, she doesn't care about that.
She quickly went downstairs and found Li Zhiyao, who was still looking at jewelry, and continued to stay with her as if nothing had happened.
After Wei Canglan left, she turned around and put the remaining half cup of tea into her system space.
Since this stuff is effective after just one sip, the rest can be given to other people to drink.
It cost 500 gold coins, so don't waste it.
Having resolved this problem, she felt much more at ease.
On her way back, she encountered some spoiled brats bullying ordinary people, but she didn't interfere.
However, she did remember those words from that spoiled brat: Minister of Revenue?
Fang Yuan looked at his little cousin beside him and asked, "Isn't the Minister of Revenue in charge of the national treasury?"
"Yes, what's wrong?" Li Zhiyao asked, puzzled.
"It's nothing, I just overheard what that person said, so I asked one more question!" Fang Yuan chuckled and shook his head.
"Oh? That guy? He's just like his father. His father, the Minister of Revenue, is no good. He's embezzled military funds from the border region several times. He's so annoying!"
Li Zhiyao also quietly complained to Fang Yuan about this person.
"So annoying?" Fang Yuan glanced meaningfully outside.
His family must have a lot of money, right?
She seems to have found a way to make quick money.
Fang Yuan's good mood, filled with dreams of getting rich quick, came to an abrupt end once he got home.
"Third cousin, is this just for me, or do all the sisters get one?"
Looking at the box handed to her and Lee Seung-cheol's slightly shy face, Fang Yuan asked uncertainly.
“This was specially ordered for you, my cousin,” Lee Seung-cheol replied with a light cough.
Fang Yuan then realized that his cousin's appearance was also a bit strange.
Thinking of Wei Canglan from before, she nervously glanced at him a few times. Could it be that this guy also wanted to marry her?
