After Lu Xiuzhu refolded the prescription and stuffed it into his sleeve pocket, he looked around the yard and saw that there was no one around. Except for the ugly old lady, no one knew that the ugly old lady had come to see him, so he quickly left.

Qin Baiwei had already made her bed and was about to go to sleep when she heard a knock on the door. She thought it was her father coming to discuss the prescription with her. She put on her outer dress and opened the door. She was stunned for a moment. Standing outside the door was someone she had not expected.

She didn't expect that Lu Xiuzhu would come to her at this time for something. In her impression, she didn't have much interaction with this person.

If there is any connection between her and Lu Xiuzhu, it is probably that the people they loved became someone else's wife and husband, and they were a couple.

Lu Xiuzhu saw Qin Baiwei frowning and said, "I came to discuss something with Miss Qin. You won't regret talking to me." His tone was very firm.

Qin Baiwei still let the person into the room, but left the door open. She didn't want to cause any rumors in Pei Yi's presence, and she knew Princess Anle's temperament very well, and she didn't want to provoke that crazy woman.

After Lu Xiuzhu sat down on the stool beside the round table, he looked at the wide-open door and said to Qin Baiwei with a sneer on his face, “I think Miss Qin had better close the door.

Qin Baiwei frowned slightly, but seeing that Lu Xiuzhu was not going to speak until the door was closed, and seeing that he looked calm and did not seem to do anything wrong to her, she walked to the door, checked that there was no one outside, and then closed the door.

As soon as he walked back to the round table and sat down on a stool one step away from Lu Xiuzhu, Lu Xiuzhu handed him a folded paper bag.

Qin Baiwei did not immediately reach out to take the paper package, but looked at Lu Xiuzhu and asked, "What did Lord Lu give me?"

Lu Xiuzhu smiled faintly and said, "Miss Qin, being cautious is a good thing, but being too cautious will often lead to you missing out on the things you love. I think Miss Qin feels the same way as I do."

Qin Baiwei knew what he meant. She took the paper package and opened it. Her pupils instantly dilated. She looked up at Lu Xiuzhu in disbelief: "Where did this come from? How do you have a prescription for treating this epidemic?"

Lu Xiuzhu said: "Miss Qin has her own methods, and I have my own ways. Miss Qin doesn't need to ask me where this prescription came from. Just find one or two patients with the epidemic to try it out, and you will know whether this prescription is true or not."

Qin Baiwei knew that Lu Xiuzhu didn't give her this prescription for nothing, so she accepted it and asked, "Tell me, what do you want me to do with this prescription?"

Lu Xiuzhu stared at Qin Baiwei for a while before answering her: "Miss Qin should ask yourself, what can you ask for with this prescription? The emperor is now worried about the epidemic in Lingnan. If Miss Qin can use it to ask the emperor for something, such as something she loves and has always wanted, I think the emperor will not refuse."

Qin Baiwei understood the meaning of Lu Xiuzhu's words. Others could not see Lu Xiuzhu's feelings for Xie Zhichan, but as someone who shared the same suffering, she could figure it out quickly.

She was surprised at Lu Xiuzhu's love for Xie Zhichan, but she also hated that Xue Zhichang could not only get Pei Yi's love, but also the love of such a handsome man. She couldn't help but sneer, "Even if I used this medicine to exchange the imperial decree for Xie Zhichan and Brother Yi to divorce, as long as Princess Anle was around, Xie Zhichan and Lord Lu would have no chance, right?"

Lu Xiuzhu shook his head and said, "It seems that Miss Qin doesn't understand what I mean. Instead of letting the bird fly back to the forest and giving it more freedom to choose, why don't you lock yourself in the same cage?"

Qin Baiwei finally understood what Lu Xiuzhu meant and angrily asked, "Are you asking me to become Brother Yi's concubine?"

Lu Xiuzhu still shook his head and said, "Don't you think that the credit for solving the epidemic in Lingnan can be exchanged for a position of a co-wife? Although it is a little inferior to the principal wife, it is still a wife after all. Your children are still qualified to inherit the title of Prince Yan's Mansion."

Qin Baiwei looked at Lu Xiuzhu for a while before sneering, "I thought that with Lord Lu's deep affection for her, he would not want to see her sad."

Lu Xiuzhu said calmly: "Since she is destined to be a sad person, what does it matter if there are one or two more sad people in the world? At least I will be sad with her, right?"

After he said this, he knew that his goal had been achieved, so he left Qin Baiwei's room.

On the second day, Qin Baiwei asked her maid Gancao to invite Pei Yi to the room, saying that she had important matters regarding the Lingnan epidemic to discuss with him.

Pei Yi didn't want to go at first, but thinking that Qin Baiwei's medical skills were indeed not bad, and perhaps she really had some prescriptions or discoveries about the disease, he followed the maid.

But he did not enter Qin Baiwei's room in the end. He just asked Gancao to invite her young lady to a pavilion outside the house to talk.

Although Qin Baiwei was angry that Pei Yi was so wary of her, she suppressed her hatred when thinking of the prescription in her sleeve pocket. She walked into the pavilion, smiled, knelt down and bowed to Pei Yi, saying, "Brother Yi."

Pei Yi nodded to Qin Baiwei: "Please sit down. I wonder what Miss Qin wants to see me about?"

Qin Baiwei sat on the stone bench opposite Pei Yi, poured a cup of tea leisurely, took a sip, and smiled at Pei Yi: "When did Brother Yi start calling me Miss Qin? And when did you only ask me what I want when you see me? Can't I play chess, chat and drink tea with Brother Yi when I have nothing to do? I remember these things, Brother Yi often did them with me when I was a child."

Pei Yi felt a little annoyed.

He looked at Qin Baiwei and said, she was a timid little girl when she was young.

He also wanted to know, when did she become such a scheming girl? Was the Qin Baiwei in front of him the same Qin Baiwei as a child? Or did he just never understand her when she was a child?

He said to Qin Baiwei, "When we were young, we were all children, and there was no distinction between men and women. It's not just you. I also played with my elder sister and my third sister when I was young. But now I've grown up, and I'm married. After all, you're not my biological sister. In order not to affect your future marriage, I have to keep some distance."

Qin Baiwei only smiled sadly after hearing this, and said to Pei Yi: "Since Brother Yi wants to be a gentleman so much, he must be unwilling to see so many patients in Lingnan suffer, right?"

Pei Yi knew that Qin Baiwei would have something to say later, so he said, "As a doctor, Miss Qin must be more reluctant to see them suffer than I am."

Qin Baiwei nodded and said, "Indeed, what Brother Yi said makes sense. Not wanting to see patients suffer is the kindness of every doctor. But I was born a woman first, and then became a doctor. As a female doctor, the first thing I want is a husband of my dreams, and the second is the kindness of a doctor."

Pei Yi frowned when he heard this.

Qin Baiwei saw Pei Yi's expression and continued to talk to herself: "I have a prescription for curing Lingnan's epidemic. I want Brother Yi to give me something in exchange. I want Brother Yi to be his co-wife, and Brother Yi, you should personally ask the emperor to grant us marriage. In this way, I will get my ideal husband, and Brother Yi will get a kind-hearted gentleman. It's the best of both worlds, how great is that?"

Pei Yi heard that Qin Baiwei actually had a prescription for curing the disease. He didn't know whether what she said was true or not, so he temporarily ignored her conditions and said, "Mr. Ye, A Yuan, and Doctor Hang, their medical skills are no worse than yours, but so far, the three of them together have not found a prescription that can cure the disease."

Qin Baiwei knew that Pei Yi doubted the authenticity of the prescription in her hand. If she told him directly that she had developed it, Pei Yi would definitely not believe it. Even her father would probably not believe it.

He said, "It's not that I invented it. I just found it by chance after reading many ancient medical books. I also slightly modified a few medicinal ingredients according to the pathological development of Lingnan epidemic."

Seeing Pei Yi still had an expression of disbelief on his face, she continued, "I have already found one or two people to conduct experiments. If Brother Yiyi doesn't believe me, I can take you to see the current situation of these two people."

Pei Yi had to believe that she really had a prescription, but thinking of the conditions she offered, he said in a deep voice, "I only want to marry A Yuan in this life. Miss Qin, please change the conditions."

Qin Baiwei heard Pei Yi say this, although she had expected it in her heart, but now she was in the middle of it, it was still as painful as if a knife was stabbed in her heart, and she spoke more ruthlessly: "Brother Yi can also directly report to the emperor that I have a prescription for treating the epidemic and force me to hand over the prescription, but I am not sure whether I will destroy the prescription directly and choose to perish together with him.

After all, all I want in my life is a husband of my dreams. If I can’t find one, life would be meaningless.”
