♂?，，

  Lin Lan returned to the Luoxia cottage and couldn't help but laugh, falling onto the bed holding her stomach: "Ming Yun... ah yo... I'm done for... I'm going to die from laughter! Did you see? The old witch's face is green! Ah yo... my stomach hurts..."

  Li Mingyu calmly said: "It's a matter of courtesy, this is what should be done."

  Yu Rong took Second Young Master's coat and said: "Second Young Master, hot water is ready, dinner is also ready."

  Li Mingyu nodded: "Let's get ready to eat!" Looking at Lin Lan who couldn't stop laughing, Li Mingyu raised the corner of his mouth and asked: "If I hadn't arrived in time, how would you have handled it?"

  Lin Lan finally caught her breath and smiled: "Of course, I have no opinion, but I won't cater to their wishes either. As I said, whatever happens, just push it onto me."

  Li Mingyun smiled and said with relish: "A young child can be taught!" After speaking, he went to the clean room to wash his face and hands.

  Yinliu listened in confusion, asking: "Second Young Madam, what do you mean by 'gifts going back and forth'?" Yinliu only knew that the old witch was referring to the mistress, and Second Young Madam would also use this title when speaking with her and Yurong.

  This matter is actually quite complicated to explain, and Mingzhu's background needs to be kept secret. Lin Lan sat up, rubbed her sore stomach, and pouted: "It's nothing, just the old lady and the madam wanting to take a concubine for the second young master of the house."

  "What? Have Second Master take a concubine?" Yin Liu's eyebrows stood on end as she loudly and exaggeratedly shouted.

  Lin hastily made a silencing gesture with her hand and scolded in a low voice: "Be quiet, why are you being so loud?"

  Yin Liu was anxious and lowered her voice: "What did Second Young Master say?"

  Lin Lan couldn't help but laugh again: "Don't worry, Second Young Master isn't that kind of flirtatious big radish."

  Yin Liu finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then became worried again: "But since Madam has had such thoughts, I'm afraid she won't give up easily! The last time with Bai Hui... it's not been long since that passed, why does Madam always want to send people to our house?"

  Lin Lan sneered and said, "What good intentions can she have? But it did remind me, for the sake of seeing...". Lin Lan thought to herself, although the old witch dared not mention taking a concubine again, there was no guarantee that she would not resort to her old tricks and send Yu Lian and Ming Yun into trouble. At that time, even if Ming Yun didn't want to take a concubine, he would have to. Although Lin Lan had been careful with Ming Yun everywhere, this was too much trouble, and it was necessary to thoroughly resolve this problem once and for all - Yu Bai Lian! Don't blame me for being ruthless; if you fall into the pit, it just means your own thoughts are not pure.

  "What's going on with Second Young Mistress?" Yin Liu asked curiously, her eyes fixed on Second Young Mistress.

  Lin Lan raised an eyebrow and smiled: "Nothing, hurry up with dinner, Second Young Master is hungry!"

  A moment later, the two sat face to face, Lin Lan supporting her cheek with one hand as she watched Ming Yun eat.

  "These days, the business of the pharmacy has been pretty good. The Bao Ning pills are all sold out, but that's because there were only a few left to begin with. I plan to find a few more assistants and also produce the Wu Ji Bai Feng pills. With these few signature medicines on hand, it's hard for the business not to be good. Second Brother's medical skills seem to have improved again. In the past, he would take a long time to diagnose pulses, but now his speed has greatly increased..." Lin Lan reported on the situation at the pharmacy over the past few days.

  Li Mingyun took a sip of soup and said leisurely: "Don't rush to diagnose hastily just to speed things up, or you'll end up losing your reputation."

  Lin Lanbai said with a glance: "Second Brother is an honest man, Fifth Brother may not be, so I let Fifth Brother assist Second Brother, but it's still up to Second Brother to take charge."

  Li Mingyun smiled: "As long as you have a plan in mind."

  "I do have a number of people, but it's still not enough! Ah... Ming Yun, I have an idea. Why don't we invite some skilled doctors to come and sit in our shop, diagnose the patients and let them take care of the prescriptions? We can make money from selling the medicine. This way, those doctors won't have to run around every day, and patients will naturally come to us. It's also a solution to not having enough doctors on staff." Lin Lan thought that this business model was similar to many traditional Chinese medicine shops in modern times, where everyone benefits mutually by taking advantage of each other's strengths. However, she couldn't help but frown at the thought of making a profit from selling medicine, as some doctors might be tempted to overprescribe or misdiagnose patients for personal gain, which would not only harm people but also ruin the reputation of traditional Chinese medicine.

  Li Mingyun thought for a moment and said: "It's feasible, but this person must be invited properly. Those with only a reputation won't do."

  "That's right, we must invite someone with a good reputation, and it's best to sign an agreement, so that there are mutual constraints." said Lin Lan.

  Li Mingyun looked at her serious thinking appearance, frowned and said: "It seems that when I'm not around, you think a lot, don't have time to think of me?"

  Lin Lan said carelessly: "What can't be helped? Everyone is busy to death, who has time to think?"

  Li Mingyun glared with feigned seriousness: "Really didn't think so?"

  Under his fierce and menacing gaze, Lin Lan compromised: "Want to think about it for a moment?"

  Li Mingyun filled a bowl with chicken soup for himself and muttered to himself: "Drink more, it's energizing."

  Lin Lan suddenly shuddered and hastily expressed her attitude: "I really miss him, I couldn't sleep at night if he wasn't here, honestly, don't believe me? Ask Yin Liu." Lin Lan's face was full of sincerity. Unfortunately, Yin Liu was not there, otherwise, she would also nod vigorously with a sincere expression on her face.

  Li Mingyun couldn't help it and chuckled, tapping her nose tip, saying "This is more like it."

  Lin Lan's miserable life went on, when suddenly she thought: "Right, Madame Pei is ill, Lord Pei invited me to visit today. From now on, I'll have to go to the Pei residence every day to give Madame Pei acupuncture. First, try it for ten days, if the effect is good, then treat another course."

  Li Mingyan composed his expression and said: "Then I'll visit another day, let's send some nourishing products over first tomorrow!"

  Need I say more? Today, I have already instructed Fu An to prepare a hundred-year-old ginseng, two catties of top-grade bird's nest and some medicinal materials, all sent together as a gift. Lord Pei is his mentor, so showing filial respect is only proper.

  Li Mingyun couldn't help but pinch her nose again, lovingly gritting his teeth: "Really my virtuous wife."

  Lin Lan brushed his hand away and protested: "Can't you stop pinching my nose, it's getting longer and longer. Originally, my own nose was quite good."

  Looking at her expression, which was both angry and shy, the natural flow of a young woman's shyness and charm, Li Mingyun's eyes slightly rippled, and he smiled lightly: "In my eyes, you look good no matter what."

  Then, Lin Lan discussed with Ming Yun about Zi Xuan and Pei Zhiqian's matter. After hearing Li Mingyun say that Chen Zixuan had been in love with Pei Zhiqian for many years, but Pei Zhiqian still didn't understand his intention. Lin Lan felt ashamed and regretful, and sighed: "Look at others, that's what it means to be reserved. I'm really too unrestrained, being deceived so quickly."

  Li Mingyun's face turned half black: "Why not say that Chen Zixuan is useless, this guy is so poor outside, his mouth is like oil, as soon as he sees Miss Pei, he becomes a stutterer, unlike me, I should take action when I should, and never drag my feet, this is the real skill."

  Lin Lan looked at him suspiciously and thought for a moment: "I remember someone was very shy, being teased and blushing like Guan Gong."

  Li Mingyan clenched his fist by his lips and coughed twice: "Alright! I admit that my thick skin was learned from a certain someone."

  Lin Lan glared at him for three seconds before suddenly pouncing on him and biting him.

  "Hey... don't bite your mouth, we have an early morning tomorrow..."

  "I don't care..."

  Two people rolled into one ball.

  Han was lying in bed with his hands on his forehead and groaning.

  Mother Jiang massaged her temples: "Madam, this won't do, you must invite a doctor to take a look."

  Hearing the two words "ask a doctor", Han's head hurt even more: "Ask a doctor, ask who? Now that we have Lin Lan as our family doctor, I think it's not suitable to ask another doctor. Others will say that we don't trust our own daughter-in-law, is there something wrong with us? Let Lin Lan take a look! But I'm even more worried."

  Mrs. Jiang also sighed: "This is indeed the case, nowadays even seeing a doctor has become a problem. But it's not a solution for the lady to drag on like this, she's been in pain several times this year already."

  Han said weakly: "It's all because of that couple. I just heard Ming Yun's words, and I almost spat out a mouthful of blood."

  "Old slave was also frightened at that time," said Jiang's mother. "It seems that Master Mingyu knows something."

  Han's brain twitched: "Do you think so too?"

  "Lao Niu dare not be certain, but according to what was said, Miss Biao and Second Young Master's wife have had several encounters during festivals, how could Second Young Master take a liking to Miss Biao?" Jiang Mama asked doubtfully.

  "Han sighed: 'Forget it, forget it. Wait until Ming is admitted to the Imperial College and when things are successful in Shanxi, we'll find an opportunity to divide the family property. Out of sight, out of mind.'"

  "Right now, with the old lady around, I'm afraid she won't agree to divide the family property. In our hometown, several masters have not divided their families until now! The old lady likes it when everyone is together, lively and noisy."

  Mr. Han was very annoyed: "Why did I bother to invite the old lady? She didn't help at all, but instead brought a Buddha to serve, and from time to time listened to a few words of advice. Isn't this asking for trouble?"

  Mrs. Jiang's face was slightly embarrassed, but this idea was hers to begin with, so she advised: "Madam, don't be discouraged, the old lady still has some use, at least she can restrain the old master, and Second Master won't dare be rude to you. Like this time with the concubine, if Second Master hadn't brought up Miss Bao, the old lady would have definitely succeeded."

  "I think the old lady has completely dispelled this idea." Han said dejectedly.

  "Madam, why the hurry? Let's find an opportunity to bring the two together... Can't Second Master still marry Miss Yu?" said Jiang Mama with a smile.

  Han's eyes turned cold and he said with hatred: "He didn't let me be comfortable, neither will they. This person, I must make him pay the price."

  "Take heart, as long as you want to do it, you'll definitely succeed. As for what happened with Bai Hui last time, I've made some inquiries and found out that Second Young Master had already been on his guard against her. Fortunately, we didn't mention Miss Yu today, so there's still a way to make it work."

  Mr. Han perked up again and didn't feel the pain in his head anymore, saying: "Don't let Miss know about today's matter, she has a bad temper and if she finds out, it will only make things worse for me."
