She got pregnant after the swap marriage, and the scumbag's family regretted it so much they cr

"Dr. Luo, please take a look at the quality of this ginseng." Seeing that he had only accepted the wooden box but had not opened it for a long time, Lu Huan reached out and lifted the lid.

"Since you're no stranger here, I'll be frank. Soon, the Prince of Yan will close the net and release a large number of the Cheng family's former assets."

The Prince of Yan promised me he could redeem it at the official price. However, most of my money was used to buy shops; the few thousand taels I have left were from the proceeds of your help selling the special medicine.”

Luo Changshan paced back and forth in the side room, carrying a wooden box.

“Indeed, that little bit of silver isn’t even enough to buy a shop. Huan’er, don’t panic, the old man still has some working capital, and if all else fails, we still have our funeral money…”

"Dr. Luo, please take a look at this ginseng!" Lu Huan interrupted Luo Changshan in time.

She reasonably suspected that if it were any later, Dr. Luo would want to sell off his stock of medicinal herbs.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Luo Changshan snapped out of his daze and stared at the ginseng in the wooden box. "This ginseng is about eighty years old, and its advantage lies in its completeness. It's just a pity that it was dug up a little too early. If it had grown for another twenty years, the price would have doubled."

Give me this ginseng, and I can get you at least three hundred taels of silver.

Lu Huan realized that he didn't understand what she meant, so she tore off a section of ginseng rootlet and said, "Dr. Luo, please try the medicine first!"

"Oh dear!" Luo Changshan took the ginseng rootlets with a pained expression, as if looking at a spendthrift child. "How can you be so quick with your hands! If you pull them like that, you won't get a good price!"

However, he still put the ginseng root into his mouth, chewed it carefully, and soon his eyes lit up.

"This, this, this!"

Lu Huan nodded solemnly, "That's right. This ginseng is for you to test its medicinal effects. The ones I want to sell are much older than just these few decades."

Luo Changshan gasped. "How many years?"

Lu Huan thought of the densely growing ginseng patch next to the thatched hut and hesitated before saying, "It must be at least two or three hundred years old."

Hearing her say that, Luo Changshan didn't feel embarrassed at all about accepting an eighty-year-old cigarette.

"Alright! I'll take care of this for you! Let's coordinate our statements first. It was discovered by your maternal grandfather in the deep mountains by accident."

The oldest ginseng in the clump is over two hundred years old, while the others are less than two hundred years old, around one hundred years old. The younger the ginseng, the more there are, totaling twenty ginseng roots. Any more than that would be harder to explain.

"Girl, is this alright?"

"I can, but..." Lu Huan hesitated, wondering if twenty would be too much. "Can the Prince of Yan afford that much silver?"

Luo Changshan chuckled, "Don't try to save money for those vassal kings! Many of their birth mothers came from families of founding military meritors."

Empress Yuan was once the adopted daughter of a prince of a different surname from the previous dynasty. A single chest of fine items casually pulled from her private treasury was worth tens of thousands of taels of silver. Take Princess Xu of Yan, for example; when she married the Prince of Yan, her dowry stretched for miles!

What you've brought out is something to prolong Xu's life; asking him for tens of thousands of taels of silver is already a bargain!

Lu Huan chuckled awkwardly, "I've learned a lot!"

"Alright! Leave this to me, I guarantee I'll get you a good price!" Luo Changshan rubbed his hands together, ready to make a big splash.

Back then, when Yanjing was the capital of the previous dynasty, after it was captured, the soldiers were so eager to dig up as much as possible to find something of value.

Until the Prince of Yan took up his fief, Yanjing was still dilapidated and far inferior to Jinling.

Don't think he didn't know; the Prince of Yan had taken a large sum of money from his old friend back then. Otherwise, with the little he received from the Prince of Yan and Xu's dowry, how could it have been enough to rebuild Yanjing City!

Luo Changshan grinned like a fox, "Huan girl, your life is very precious!"

"Lu Huan understands!" Having been given a second chance at life, she cherishes it all the more.

The two then agreed that five days later, Luo Changshan would send people to deliver the large vats containing the medicine to the warehouse in the east of the city.

Lu Huan walked out of Jimin Hall. The mule cart was still parked in the distance, but Shi Gu was not sitting on the cart shaft waiting.

She walked to the car window and called out, "Ayan?"

The curtain was lifted, and Gao Yan quickly jumped down from the mule cart.

He smiled and said, "Huan'er, you're out so quickly! Have you finished everything?"

"It's all done!" Lu Huan couldn't help but smile. "By the way, where's Shi Gu?"

Gao Yan naturally helped Lu Huan into the car, saying, "I sent him to the Tian family to deliver a message."

After the two were seated in the carriage, Gao Yan explained, "After thinking it over, I decided I should send a message to Brother Tian and Bian Tao. I'm worried that if they are suddenly summoned to the Prince's Mansion, your Sister Ruan will definitely be worried."

Lu Huan felt a warmth in her heart, "Ayan, thank you!"

"In fact, the reason they got involved was because of us."

Lu Huan nestled in Gao Yan's arms and softly hummed in agreement. Her eyes, however, had already regained their clarity.

The two returned to the Gao family home. After Gao Yan escorted Lu Huan back to her room, he didn't linger and went straight to Gao Daliu's house.

He Niang followed Lu Huan into the house.

"Master, have you had lunch yet?"

"You don't need to bother, we came back after lunch."

Lu Huan turned her head and noticed that He Niang hadn't left yet, so she asked curiously, "Is there anything else?"

He Niang took the pinkish-purple satin cloak that Lu Huan had taken off and said in a low voice, "Master, the second young mistress of the back courtyard also went out today. I found out from Cai Die that she only took Yu Lan with her when she went out, saying that she went to find a familiar middleman to look at carriages."

Lu Huan hesitated for a moment. "Okay, I understand. I can do it myself. When Ayan comes back, please let him know that I'm going to take a nap."

After He Niang left, Lu Huan confirmed that the door was closed and entered the space directly.

Having grown accustomed to the barren fields outside, Lu Huan's mood brightened considerably upon seeing the lush greenery within the space.

There wasn't a speck of dust inside. The fruit that was picked was rarely washed unless it had been handled by Aunt He.

She first went to the wild strawberry field, picking and stuffing them into her mouth as she went.

The sweet taste spreads in your mouth, not sour at all.

Before I knew it, I had eaten almost half a basket, and my fingertips were stained with a light pinkish-red.

She didn't pay any attention, just licked her fingers, and went to the thatched hut.

The land near the thatched hut was planted with valuable medicinal herbs.

The medicinal seedlings here were all bought by Gao Zhongbao at Lu Huan's request in her previous life, and she planted them herself.

Although only a few decades have passed, the thickest ginseng root in the middle has grown to the thickness of a baby's arm, with its roots penetrating several meters deep into the ground, meaning it must have been there for at least several hundred years.

However, what Lu Huan wanted to dig up was not this one tree, but a slightly smaller clump next to it.

Soon, nineteen ginseng roots of varying sizes flew from the soil into the air, their roots shaking off the soil as if they were alive.

The next moment, the ginseng lost its moisture and became quite shriveled, then they all flew onto the thatched roof.

Lu Huan rubbed his temples. Sure enough, doing such delicate work was a bit mentally taxing.

She didn't even bother to check the other changes in the space before leaving with the raspberries.

He slept for the entire afternoon.
