At that time, the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion was just an empty shell and could not make ends meet, so he married Luo Yiyun, the daughter of the richest man in Linzhou, as the marquis' wife.

Since marrying Yan Xiaozhen, Luo has treated her parents-in-law and husband well, managed the household affairs, used her dowry to fill the deficit of the marquis's mansion, and worked hard for Marquis Weiyuan, hiring a military advisor for him at a high price, allowing him to easily achieve military exploits on the battlefield, turning a third-class marquis's mansion into a first-class one, and making it prosperous from then on.

However, after Yan Xiaozhen gained real power in the court and became a popular figure in front of the emperor, he kept a concubine, Tian Jiaying.

Luo Yiyun is pregnant, and his concubine Tian Jiaying is also pregnant.

Yan Xiaozhen and Tian Jiaying made a plan. When Luo Yiyun gave birth, they asked the midwife to switch their children.

Yan Xueqi, born to a concubine, became the legitimate daughter, while Yan Xining, born to Luo Yiyun, was swapped with Tian Jiaying.

When her child was one year old, Tian Jiaying gave him to kidnappers, who sold him far away!

Therefore, Yan Xining could only live a poor and difficult life in a remote countryside. Fortunately, her adoptive parents treated her well and allowed her to grow up.

After they replaced the concubine's daughter with a legitimate daughter, they were still not satisfied and gave Luo Yiyun a chronic poison, and Luo Yiyun slowly became weak and died.

The people in Weiyuan Marquis's mansion used Luo Yiyun's dowry to live a luxurious life, while Yan Xueqi was pampered like a jewel in the mansion. Even if Yan Xining was brought back, it wasn't for compensation or a change of heart, but just another act of exploitation.

Two lives, endless torture.

But Weiyuan Hou Yan Xiaozhen and Tian Jiaying stepped on Luo Yiyun's corpse and trampled on the dignity of the original body. What right did they have?

Chu Jinxun held her hand: "Okay, leave it to me!"

Yan Xining can also do it, but definitely not as fast as Chu Jinxun.

She said, “Thank you very much!”

"Xining, there's no need to say thank you between us!" Chu Jinxun's eyes were gentle.

Yan Xining felt warm in her heart under his tender gaze, and she smiled and nodded.

Chu Jinxun was overjoyed.

This was the first time Yan Xining answered him directly.

"Oh my, it's not the right time for me, old man, to come!" A teasing voice sounded cheerfully.

An old man in his sixties strode in.

He was in good spirits, with a rosy complexion, light steps and a smile in his eyes.

Chu Jinxun bowed and saluted: "Master!"

This man is known as Sai Bian Que in the world.

Others only knew that he was a strong doctor, but they didn't know that he was even better at martial arts. In the past, he was a good friend of the Duke of Fuguo, and they had a life-and-death relationship.

It was also for this reason that he sneaked into the palace several times to treat Chu Jinxun and teach him martial arts.

Otherwise, it is hard to say whether Chu Jinxun can live beyond the age of ten.

Sai Bian Que looked at the two of them with a smile and showed them his achievements.

He had been at Prince An's Mansion for some time, and the prescription he had written was finalized after discussing it with Yan Xining. Specifically, it was Yan Xining who gave him the idea, and he wrote it after a flash of inspiration.

Therefore, he looked at Yan Xining with admiration.

This beautiful disciple and his wife are so pleasing to the eye no matter how you look at them.

"Right now, we're only short of Stone Spirit Grass and Dream Orchid. I've already asked someone to buy Dream Orchid on the black market. Can you really get the Stone Spirit Grass?"

Chu Jinxun smiled and said, "Don't worry, Master!"

If the man didn't give it to him, he would go and get it himself.

Sai Bian Que said, "Since you're so confident, I won't worry about this anymore. I'll focus on collecting the Dream Orchid. The black market will open in five days. I've heard that a fleet from Dongli has brought back a lot of good stuff, and it's very likely that they'll include the Dream Orchid!"

"Master, thank you so much. Let me cook a few dishes, and you and your disciple can have a few drinks."

When Sai Bian Que heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "That's great! I ate the barbecue you made last time, and my teeth are still smelling good!"

Yan Xining went with a smile.

She also benefited greatly from her exchanges of medical expertise with Sai Bian Que. Each of them had their own strengths, and this was the first time she had encountered a medical colleague nearly as skilled as herself, which was a welcome sight.

In the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, Yan Xueqi's dowry is being prepared.

Although she was a concubine, she was the concubine of the Sixth Prince.

However, they had never expected that the Sixth Prince had not yet married. Although the Empress had granted him the position of concubine, she was not planning to make a big deal about it.

Moreover, time was very short. A sedan chair was used to carry the person in through the side door.

The Sixth Prince Chu Yunyan, thinking that because of Yan Xueqi, they had appeared together in public in disheveled clothes, which had caused the court officials to look at him strangely and his father's attitude towards him to turn cold, immediately took his anger out on him.

Yan Xueqi was originally happy to marry into the Sixth Prince's mansion.

But that day, the Sixth Prince didn't even come to her room.

Yan Xueqi felt wronged and sad, but once she entered the Sixth Prince's backyard, she had no control over her life.

She wanted to deliver a letter back to Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion, but the Sixth Prince was angry with her, and she had almost no manpower available in the Sixth Prince's palace.

The maids Siqin and Sihua who came with the dowry tried several times, but were stopped at the courtyard gate and warned to behave themselves.

Yan Xueqi never expected that the result of her hard work would end up being a bitter fruit that she had to swallow alone.

Returning to the bride's home three days after the wedding is a privilege only enjoyed by the main wife, and she does not even have it.

It was not until half a month later that Siqin found an opportunity, sneaked out of the house, and returned to Weiyuan Hou's Mansion to tell Tian Jiaying about Yan Xueqi's current situation.

He was disliked by the Sixth Prince and even placed under house arrest.

The Sixth Prince was obsessed with marrying the Prime Minister's daughter as his princess, because the Prime Minister could help him recover from his previous defeat at Liuguang Pavilion.

Tian Jiaying was extremely anxious after hearing this and wanted to find Weiyuan Hou to come up with a solution. However, she couldn't even find Weiyuan Hou's people.

The current Marquis Weiyuan has no time to deal with this matter!

No outsiders are allowed to interfere in the prince's inner court.

In addition, Weiyuan Hou Yan Xiaozhen is now in a state of panic.

He saw that Yan Luchang was no longer useful, and Emperor Yongxi had even declared him unworthy of inheriting the title. Was he going to destroy the title of Marquis just like that?

He would never allow it. He thought of his son born to another concubine.

Yan Xiaozhen wanted to bring his son back home, hold a grand recognition ceremony, and then ask for him to be named the crown prince.

His action was not small, and if he wanted to recognize his son, he could not avoid Tian Jiaying.

Tian Jiaying learned that he actually had a twelve-year-old son outside, and all the sweet words he had said to her before were just to deceive her.

Thinking about his son's lost future and his daughter's lack of love, Yan Xiaozhen was actually still planning to take his concubine's daughter back.

Why do her children live an unhappy life, while the son born to that bitch of a concubine can inherit the title?

She sent someone to find out where the mistress lived.

Especially when she learned that Yan Xiaozhen actually placed his concubine in the house where she lived when she was a concubine, she was so furious that she personally took people there.

The house was decorated more luxuriously and exquisitely, and the concubine was younger than her and dressed better than her, the marquis's wife.

When she saw her, the concubine actually smiled. She stood up calmly, adjusted her skirt gently, and said in a sweet voice, "Why are you here, sister? I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person. Please don't be offended, sister!"

She smiled charmingly, her face full of provocation and pride, which made Tian Jiaying grit her teeth.

It was obvious that the mistress recognized her, but she had no shame at all and instead looked at her with mockery.

"Bitch," Tian Jiaying was so angry that her whole body was shaking, and her eyes seemed to be spewing fire. She pointed her finger at the concubine, and her voice became sharp and piercing with anger. "How dare you call me sister? You are just a shameless lowly bastard, and you dare to be so arrogant in front of me!"

The concubine paid no attention to Tian Jiaying's insults. Instead, she covered her lips and laughed softly, "Oh, sister, what are you talking about? Although I am just a concubine, I am the one the Marquis loves the most now. This house was given to me by the Marquis, and these silks and satins were also bought for me by the Marquis. If you are envious, you might as well go and ask the Marquis for help!"

As she spoke, she deliberately turned around in front of Tian Jiaying, her skirt swaying and her jewelry jingling.
