My Sister Insisted on Swapping Marriages, and I Became a Marchioness Instead Chapter 531: Selling Medicine
This remark really undermines our own prestige, and Qin Heng doesn’t like it one bit.
But given the current circumstances, he had no choice but to swallow his displeasure.
Seeing his reluctant expression, Qin Yuan knew he wasn’t really listening, so she laughed and said, "Since we’ve clarified this matter, we should next discuss how to prevent the Xu Family from causing trouble."
Gu Baoshu was first to respond: "If it cos to using one’s head, perhaps I’m not the best, but I’m quite skilled with my fists and feet. I can deal with those Xu Family ruffians like we did today."
Qin Siyuan hurriedly waved his hands: "Even though we’re relatives by marriage, there is still a difference between n and won. If word got out, it wouldn’t be good for the Seventh Miss’s reputation. How could I let you risk your na because of ? Besides, it’s not convenient. Seventh Miss, you should drop this idea quickly."
Xiao Dong picked up the conversation: "I can prepare so exclusive dicine powders for Brother Qin and Brother Heng. If you can’t win by force, pretend to negotiate, then toss the powder and escape. To be honest, I’ve never lost a fight. On the street by Renhe Hall, no one dares provoke ."
Qin Heng imdiately leaned in with a flattering smile: "I didn’t know you had such a skill, Xiao Dong."
Xiao Dong lifted his little face proudly: "I’ve been learning pharmacology from my master since childhood, so naturally, I know these things."
Qin Heng then said, "I’d like to get so dicine powders; I wonder if you can make them for ."
"Tell what you want, and I’ll see if I can make it."
Xiao Dong held himself with great confidence.
Fuguo’er also leaned over and said, "Brother Xiao Dong, since we’re all in this together, make so for too. Later, I plan to fight Pang Cheng; he’s been using his height and strength to bully us together with Pang Yu."
A true man handles retribution himself for it to be satisfying.
Qin Siyuan laughed: "Xiao Dong’s idea is good. If I carry so with , I won’t panic if we encounter those ruffians again."
Gu Baoshu added: "Xiao Dong, prepare so for too. I notice many wanderers carry concealed weapons with them. Can you make one suitable for my status and give it a powerful-sounding na? That way, before I appear, I can scatter it as a greeting."
Qin Heng clicked his tongue: "Seventh Miss, you’re already formidable in a fight, and who would dare to provoke the Seventh Miss of the Dingbei Marquis Mansion? Just ntioning your na is enough to scare most away. Do you even need that?"
Gu Baoshu bent her finger and flicked Qin Heng’s forehead lightly, leaving a red mark.
"You don’t understand. There are always those who are blind. And besides, as the saying goes, ’There is always a taller mountain,’ and ’There’s always a more skillful person among the skillful ones.’ I’m not one to be arrogant."
Qin Heng let out a cry, covered his head, and looked resentfully at the lively Gu Baoshu.
In the end, he didn’t dare say anything more.
Seeing them so lively, Qin Yuan couldn’t help but say, "Xiao Dong, make so for too."
Xiao Dong chuckled, "No problem, no problem. It’s just that this is a small business. If it doesn’t cost much, I can make it readily. But if you need a lot, I might have to get so herbs from Renhe Hall, and then there will be a charge."
He was very much like Doctor Li, who loved money.
Kids really do take after those who raise them.
Qin Yuan laughed, "You’re even asking for money..."
Before she could finish, Xiao Dong hurriedly said, "Of course, neither you nor the Marquis need to pay, but for anyone else needing a lot or expensive things, there will be a charge."
Gu Baoshu crossed her arms, dismissively said, "Xiao Dong, make ten taels’ worth. Whatever’s left can stay with you for now."
Qin Yuan asked, "Brother Heng wasn’t wrong. You always have soone with you. Who would be so blind as to provoke you? Why do you need them?"
The last thing anyone wanted was this little sister-in-law causing trouble.
Gu Baoshu replied, "Hehe, sotis I want to fix soone without showing my hand in public. With Xiao Dong giving his powders, combined with my skills and accuracy, others will never suspect it was ."
Fuguo’er imdiately said to Gu Baoshu, "Aunt, Xiao Dong runs a small business. Ten taels of silver is a fortune for him. How long would it take to spend all that? How about letting your nephew keep two packs in your na, just as a token of your love, okay?"
Gu Baoshu was straightforward and agreed imdiately.
Next ca Brother Kang.
Then it was Sister Lan’s turn.
Xiao Dong said, "I’ll cover Brother Qin’s share."
The only ones who had to pay were Qin Heng and Gu Baoshu.
Qin Heng said, "Xiao Dong, you even want to earn my money. Are we not good brothers anymore? How about making so fragrant bags? I can sell them to the brothers in Xu Tang who play football, make so money, and then buy dicinal powders from you. What do you think?"
Xiao Dong’s eyes lit up and he said, "I can also make so sweet-slling soap beans that you can sell to them. They’re fragrant, they don’t cause rashes, and mosquitoes won’t bite. I won’t let you do it for free; I’ll give you a twenty percent cut of what you sell."
The two of them were thoroughly enjoying their chat.
Once everyone finally quieted down, Qin Yuan said, "Starting tomorrow, I’ll have so guards secretly follow you all, just in case. You all must also be more vigilant."
Qin Siyuan said, "Wouldn’t that be too botherso? I can just go out less, maybe even visit the Imperial College less, it’s no big deal."
Qin Yuan sternly said, "Xiao Dong’s point shouldn’t be ignored. Brother, you’ve studied hard for ten years. If these petty bullies interfere, it would be like saying our Marquis Mansion has no one to stand up! Besides, should my silly brother fall into a trap, that would also be a problem. Asking the Marquis for one guard is the sa as asking for two; there’s no need for you to worry about such small matters. Moreover, if you score high in the exams, it’ll only benefit my bookstore business."
"Brother Siyuan, there’s no need to feel bad. My elder sister is the sharpest; she won’t lose out."
Qin Heng quickly chid in.
With outsiders present, Qin Siyuan could only say to Qin Yuan, "I will rember your kindness, dear sister."
Qin Yuan smiled, "We’re all of the Qin Family, why create distance? There may co a ti when I need my big brother’s help, and how could he possibly stand by then?"
Qin Siyuan was even more moved when he heard this, "Then I won’t be polite. When you need help, just say the word."
Qin Heng felt sentintal, "No wonder Mother says at ho that if my second sister had just a little of what my eldest sister has in terms of brains, the in-laws wouldn’t sigh at the ntion of her."
Qin Siyuan twitched his mouth, not wanting to speak.
Qin Yuan said with a smile, "What you’re saying is aningless; they’re both sisters. You shouldn’t praise one while belittling another. If your second sister hears this, she’ll get upset."
She paused and said aningfully, "For the sake of your second sister, you can’t let your brother-in-law stray."
Qin Heng nodded, "I’m watching over brother-in-law and Xu Tang. If they make any wrong moves, I’ll surely report to you and Father."
This made Qin Yuan frown, "You just look after yourself. As for keeping an eye on others, leave that to Sixteen and Shi Ba. If you’re really unwilling to study, even going out with Shen Changle is fine by . Last ti Shen Changle said that your suggestion was really good."
Qin Heng pouted stubbornly, but Gu Baoshu quickly shot him a look.
Qin Heng understood and said, "Elder Sister, I will rember."
