“This prescription has one flaw!” Qiu Yelan felt stronger that her sister-in-law was smart and elegant. If it weren’t because her look was normal and her husband only loved beauty, she should have a better reputation outside.

Luckily, Qiu Yelan fought a lot with Qiu Jinglan. Now even though she underestimated Madame Tao Junior’s intelligence, she still quickly found an excuse, “You’ll only get a daughter after using this prescription! Besides, it would really hurt the mother. You won’t have kids easily in the future! I thought you are still young, so you will be able to have a trueborn in the future! How would I recommend you this kind of prescription that may help you get pregnant but also make you infertile?”

Seeing how surprised Madame Tao Junior was, she immediately added, “Not until I just heard you saying that as long as you have a child, it doesn’t matter whether it was a girl or a boy, did I decide to tell you. My brother said that this prescription was actually used to harm others. And you can’t regret it after using it, so he never let me tell others! You’re the first to know!”

A flush ran on Madame Tao Junior’s sallow face, “Her Majesty…” The reason why Empress Jiang only had one daughter, Princess Yongfu, was that she was hurt by Empress Dowager Gu. Madame Tao Junior knew that, but she didn’t know the detail.

Qiu Yelan lied but she unintentionally made Madame Tao Junior remember this!

Madame Tao Junior thought Qiu Yelan was just trying to find a goal to live for her, but now thinking about this, she had some hope. But after she blurted out, she remembered this was a big deal and Madame Tao told everyone not to tell others, so she immediately went quiet.

But what she blurted out gave enough hints to Qiu Yelan. She was used to judging others by herself, so she was worried that Madame Tao Junior would intentionally probe. She didn’t confirm it, “I don’t know if this happened to the Her Majesty or not. But there is such a prescription. I’m not afraid to tell you. My brother gave me this prescription, in case Jiang Yashuang changes his heart someday!”

“It’s fine it would hurt the mother. What about the child?” Madame Tao Junior never met Qiu Jinglan. She didn’t know that his solution to this loyalty problem was to change a brother-in-law, not hurting the mistresses in secret. Now after Qiu Yelan said that, Madame Tao Junior believed her. Her breathe went heavy, “Will it hurt the child? Please, if not, give me the prescription!”

Seeing life bursting out of her eyes, Qiu Yelan was relieved. Madame Tao Junior’s illness was not really an illness, but rather the lack of will to live. Now this will came back. It meant she was still savable!

As for the prescription that Madame Tao Junior wanted… Qiu Yelan guaranteed her solemnly, “I’ll go to Green Villa now and have my brother ask someone to get the medicine… But please keep a secret about the origin of this prescription. Otherwise, if Jiang Yashuang knew, he would not like it!”

When she arrived at the Green Villa, Ling Zui was also there. Seeing her, he smiled and called her. Before he could finish, she stopped him, “The aphrodisiac you said last time or something similar, get me some!!!”

Ling Zui nearly spurted out the tea in his mouth, “What?!”

Then he felt Qiu Jinglan looking at him with killing intent. He immediately raised his hands while coughing to show his innocence, “I definitely didn’t tell her about aphrodisiac in private. By the way, why do you need it? Jiang Yashuang looks young and strong. I don’t think he needs that now…”

“What are you thinking?” Qiu Yelan blushed because of his shameless guess. She stomped her feet and said, “Isn’t this your proposal last time? Why would you think it’s for Jiang Yashuang? It’s for my eighth sister-in-law!”

“You see! I said I wasn’t a negative influence!” Hearing this, Ling Zui was relieved. He emphasized it to Qiu Jinglan again and then asked Qiu Yelan, “Your sister-in-law wants to use this to get her husband back? Don’t guarantee anything. It depends on people who use it. She has an average look, but her husband loves beauty. If she uses it and still can’t keep him, don’t let her blame you!”

Qiu Jinglan had a straight face. He said coldly by the side, “Jiang Yadan spends a lot of time in the brothel. He won’t be unfamiliar with aphrodisiac. You two are just messing around! One gives bad ideas and the other believes anything!”

Qiu Yelan said angrily, “What can I do?! She’s about to die. I just cried with her for a long time. Now I finally learned that the thing she regretted most was that she didn’t have a child. I have to give her some hope to live on…”

After she said that, both Qiu Jinglan and Ling Zui had a funny look on their faces. Ling Zui touched his nose and had a hollow laugh. He said cautiously, “Don’t get angry, Yelan. But last time I was just joking. The aphrodisiac is just to entertain. It has nothing to do with children! Generally speaking, after using it, Jiang Yadan is likely to stay at your sister-in-law’s place. But whether she can get pregnant really depends on fate.”

Qiu Yelan pouted, “I know. I’m just coaxing her.”

She only wanted to give Madame Tao Junior something to look for, “I told her that she needed to get better to use it. With her current condition, she needs a year or at least a half to get healthy again! After using that, she needs to get Jiang Yadan on her bed. She also needs one or two months to confirm the pregnancy. So maybe at then, An Zhenshang is already out of favor. I just need to find a medicine that my sister-in-law won’t recognize!”

Ling Zui nodded, “I see. That’s a good idea.” After thinking, he shrugged, “But I really can’t help with that. Your sister-in-law may be unfamiliar with aphrodisiac, but Jiang Yadan won’t. Since she wants to have a child, she needs to get Jiang Yadan on her bed. But Jiang Yadan doesn’t like her. If he notices the aphrodisiac, he may get angry…”

He said that but secretly pointed at Qiu Jinglan with his mouth. Qiu Yelan understood. She said sweetly, “Brother, would you help me…?”

“Just give her some random medicine that won’t kill her.” Qiu Jinglan was still angry at her rushing in and yelling, “Give me aphrodisiac.” He was shocked, so now he gave her the look. He snorted, “You rushed here for such a small thing. You’re not behaving like a young lady from a prestigious household!”

Seeing that her sweet talk was useless, Qiu Yelan again turned to Ling Zui helplessly. Ling Zui sighed and helped her, “Chunjun, you should really help her. If she does it herself and Madame Tao has a whim and asks a doctor to look at it, ‘Huh? Isn’t this for cold?’, then Madame Tao would just get angrier and worse. It would all be Yelan’s fault!”

“I’ll have someone to think about it!” Qiu Jinglan wouldn’t really ignore her. Since Ling Zui said it, he went with it. He softened his tone and said, “It can’t harm people and can’t be recognizable. The doctor may need some days.”

Ling Zui said, “She’s not taking it immediately. Yelan, just tell her we can’t find all the herbs, so it got delayed.”

Qiu Yelan nodded repeatedly. She then stood up and was about to leave. Qiu Jinglan called her up, “Aren’t you going to see sister?”

“Tell her I’m sorry. I’ll come to see her the next time!” Qiu Yelan sighed and said helplessly, “I’m really busy. My eighth sister-in-law is fine for now. But I haven’t visited my sixteenth sister-ln-law who is pregnant for days. The most painful thing is that something has happened between Qiu Feng and Chunfu Princess. At the night of the family banquet, I overheard Chunfu Princess crying behind the artificial hill and saying she would divorce him!”

“What?!” Ling Zui and Qiu Jinglan were shocked to hear that. They looked at each other and asked with a deep voice, “What’s going on?”

Qiu Yelan quickly said what she heard and sighed, “I was in a rush to chase after Xin Fubing. Then I heard Marquess Qin fell ill when I came back. So I didn’t have time for it! Now that Marquess Qin could manage things, I have to go to ask. Speaking of which, I didn’t dare to mention this to Jiang Yashuang. After all, it sounds like Qiu Feng is not happy with this marriage and Chunfu Princess said divorce because she is helpless. If Jiang Yashuang knows that she is unhappy after she gets married, there may be trouble!”

Even though technically, Jiang Family asked Qiu Feng to marry Jiang Qizheng. But as Jiang Qizheng’s brother, Jiang Yashuang would never be just. It was like Qiu Jinglan’s theory of “all the credits belong to my sister and all the mistakes belong to her husband”. All the brothers in the world were protective in the same way.

Qiu Yelan also had her own reason. Jiang Qizheng was indeed her sister-in-law, but Qiu Feng was also an acquaintance. If this had been fixable, Qiu Yelan also wouldn’t have wanted Qiu Feng to suffer.

After saying her own opinion, she asked, “You guys have seen Qiu Feng more often. Do you know about this?”

She then saw Ling Zui pointing at Qiu Jinglan speechlessly, “He saw all this coming. When they were first married, your brother said the Princess may not be able to tolerate him for long…”

Qiu Jinglan rubbed in-between his eyebrows. He said without any expression, “I gave him advice on how to manage a marriage. He just didn’t listen. What can I do?!”

He then turned to Qiu Yelan and said, “Qiu Feng is of low born while Chunfu Princess is of high born. If they want to be together, they have to tolerate each other. Either someone compromises, or they break up. It won’t be easy for an outsider to get them back together!”

Qiu Yelan wanted to say something and Qiu Jinglan said it first, “Anyway I’ll try my best. Hope they can work this out!”

Qiu Yelan wanted to ask him to mediate in the first place. After all, Qiu Yelan was not familiar with Qiu Feng or Chunfu Princess. Yet Qiu Jinglan really knew how to handle Qiu Feng.

Thinking back, when Qiu Feng was about to get married, Qiu Jinglan sighed about how he lost his right arm. Now Qiu Feng seemed to have broken up with Chunfu Princess. Qiu Jinglan was highly likely to take the chance and coax Qiu Feng into getting back to being single and then continuing to serve him. She was prepared to sweet talk and even roll on the ground, throwing a tantrum, after Ling Zui left. Now Qiu Jinglan volunteered without her asking. She immediately over-thought, “If you go to the west, you have to take Qiu Feng with you. His status may also help you…”

Qiu Jinglan glanced at her, “Who said I would take him to the west?”

“Huh?” Qiu Yelan asked surprisingly, “Why not?”

This didn’t fit with how he usually used Qiu Feng!

Qiu Jinglan snorted, “I have my reasons. No need to ask. Anyway, I won’t sabotage his marriage. Go to the back and talk to sister. Then go back to see Sheng Shishui. I’ll take care of Qiu Feng and his wife. No need to worry!”

Qiu Yelan looked at Ling Zui again. This time Ling Zui gave her a helpless look and hinted, “You should just listen. I really can’t help now!”
