It's good to exchange marriages. My sister eats coarse food while I wear gold and silver.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across the eyes of the head of the Shan family: "It's normal that you haven't heard of it. After all, the Shan family has always been low-key."

"Ah."

Yuan Buwei nodded: "Master Shan, are you really not going to seriously consider what I just said?"

Mr. Shan:?

"I mean……"

"Master Yuan, you are really special."

"Especially?" Yuan Buwei looked at the smiling Shan family head and finally realized, "You mean, why didn't I continue to ask?"

The head of the Shan family said nothing and continued to laugh.

"I prefer to listen rather than ask questions, but I am in a difficult situation right now, and I really can't calm down and listen to your story."

"Shan Ji really wants to marry you. If I let you go, he will hate me."

"So, what you mean is that I should compromise, get pregnant with the little marquis's child, marry him, and then be a loving couple with him?" Yuan Buwei seemed to know why Shan Ji was still crooked after staying in Yaowang Valley for so long, because Shan's roots were crooked, no matter how he corrected it, it was useless. "He is satisfied and happy, but what about me?"

"You can have all his love, isn't that enough?"

"I already have one, why do I need his?" Yuan Buwei paused, looking at the head of the Shan family from top to bottom, "You are speaking up for him like this, could it be that you did something similar when you were young?"

"Cough cough cough..."

The head of the Shan family was choked by his own saliva and coughed until his face turned red.

It took him a long time to come back to his senses.

"Doctor Yuan, this is just your one-sided idea. How can you be sure that Shan Ji did worse than Young Marquis Lu?"

"Lu Sui will not imprison me, will not condone the servants bullying me, and will not give me the cold shoulder and force me to do things I don't want to do. Just these four points alone make Lu Sui so much more handsome than Shan Ji. Besides, I am not blind, but I am also deaf. Can't I tell who is good to me and who is not?"

"He is different from Lu Sui. These things were not taught to him."

"Master Shan, I always feel that you seem to have something else to say, but you can't say it clearly." Yuan Buwei hated this feeling. It was like a slap on cotton, full of powerlessness.

"I can see that Doctor Yuan is a man of temperament. In that case, I will tell you the truth. I just said that every head of our family will not live to be sixty because once you are chosen as the head of the family, you must voluntarily take poison."

"Taking poison?"

Yuan Buwei frowned. What a broken rule.

"Taking a chronic toxin, as time goes by, the toxin slowly corrodes the internal organs. However, this poison has an advantage. When the poison takes effect and the person dies, he or she will not suffer any pain and will die peacefully in his or her sleep." The head of the Shan family explained, "This rule was set when the Shan family was first established, and every generation of the family head has consciously followed it over the years."

"Why do you do this? Isn't the head of the family the most important person in the Shan family?"

"The head of the family is important, but we are also afraid that the head of the family will live too long and hold too much power, causing the people behind him to have to endure too long. This way, the Shan family can be updated faster. Every head of the family has different ideas..."

"Stop, stop, stop, Master Shan, I don't have time to discuss the development of the Shan family with you." Yuan Buwei became impatient because she was pregnant. "I just want to know if I can leave."

"What I mean is, if you can research an antidote, I can let you go."

Yuan Buwei: “!!!”

Why didn't he say it earlier?

"The Shan family is such a powerful family, can't they find an antidote?"

"If I could figure it out, I wouldn't be sitting here talking to Lord Yuan." Patriarch Shan answered as he opened the drawer in front of him and took out a piece of paper and handed it to Yuan Buwei, "This is the formula for the poison, take a look."

Yuan Buwei took it and opened it. When she saw the formula, she was a little stunned: "This..."

"Medicine King Valley is an expert in both medicine and poison. I have tried to contact them over the years, but it seems that Medicine King Valley has rejected all the major families. However, judging from Doctor Yuan's expression, is there something wrong with the formula, or is there..."

"I... don't understand."

Yuan Buwei spoke frankly, "I am a dual practitioner of medicine and poison, but I can't understand any of the names on the recipe, and they are all symbols. However, since you have the medicine, you must have collected all the herbs when you prepared it. Can you let me see the original herbs?"

"No." The head of the Shan family shook his head. "When the Shan family was founded, the medicine was stored in the ancestral hall. Whoever became the head of the family would enter the ancestral hall and get a pill. I heard that each pill has a different color. In addition, the device has only one medicine outlet, and there are mechanisms all over it. If you press the wrong place, you will die on the spot. So until now, the device has not been cracked, so I am looking for another way."

"Why did you..."

"You want to ask, why should I break this rule?"

"Ah."

"Human life should not be bound by a rule. If Shan Ji's mother Yaoguang were still alive, it would not be my turn to be the head of the family."

When Yuan Buwei found out that the Shan family head mentioned Shan Ji's mother, her cold eyes suddenly warmed up: "She is not only the genius of the Shan family in the past hundred years, she is more like a little sun, shining on the entire Shan family. She is also very studious. In order to prove that she is more capable than the men in the family, she took the initiative to crack the incomplete mechanical manual. Everyone originally thought that she was just impulsive, but unexpectedly, she really cracked a page. Everyone was shocked, and the elders were even more overjoyed, but she fell in love with a swordsman."

There was no jealousy or resentment in the tone of the Shan family head, but more regret.

"That swordsman is a gentleman, and Yaoguang is very happy with him. But the elders don't allow it. They want Yaoguang to be the head of the family and strengthen the Shan family."

"I know about Shan Ji's mother. Her talent should not be a reason to restrict her freedom. The ancient fragments are difficult to decipher. It is not easy for her to decipher one page. If she is asked to decipher all of them, her life will probably come to an end by the time she finishes."

Patriarch Shan nodded, "Master Yuan, you are indeed a great doctor. You got to the point right away. Yes, each patriarch can only live to sixty. If we add the broken fragment, Yaoguang will probably die before she is forty. So she was unwilling to let her life be arranged by others, so she ran away with the swordsman."

"I am very sad about the death of Shan Ji's parents. If they were still alive, Shan Ji would definitely be the happiest child in the world."

"They are clearly the most selfish parents."

Shan Ji's voice came from behind.

Yuan Buwei turned her head and saw Shan Ji walking in with big strides, his eyes red and full of anger.
