After transmigrating into the book, I replaced the innocent-looking girl and became the Crown Prince

Tongzhou, Huai Zhao County.

He Yuyan, no, at this moment she should be called Bei Yuer.

She was sitting in the clinic examining a woman.

"Dr. Bei, I've heard that you have excellent medical skills and ethics, and you are especially good at treating women's diseases."

My period has been irregular this month, dragging on for half a month, and I don't know what to do. Do you think you can cure it for me...?

A woman sitting opposite her, around twenty-eight years old, whispered her complaints to her.

"But my feet are freezing cold when I sleep in winter, and I need to cover myself with a thick blanket to fall asleep. Also, I have many dreams and am easily startled at night?"

"Dr. Bei, how did you know?"

He Yuyan looked at her heavily pregnant figure and patiently said, "You must have been exposed to cold when you were young. The cold has accumulated over the years and you can't get rid of it, which is why you're like this."

I'll prescribe some medicine for you first. After you take it and the bleeding stops, I'll take your pulse and prescribe other medications accordingly. Is that alright with you?

"Doctor, after my condition is cured, will I be able to have more children?"

"As long as a woman still has menstruation, she can have more children. Your problem is not a big issue. As long as you take care of your health, you can conceive and give birth naturally."

"That's wonderful! Thank you so much, Dr. Bei. If you couldn't cure me, my husband would have to take a concubine to replace me..."

As soon as the woman finished speaking, tears welled up in her eyes.

He Yuyan had seen quite a few women like this recently.

She was only grateful that she had escaped the Marquis of Dingguo's mansion and that man.

After seeing the patient off, He Yuyan looked up and saw Jiang Yang standing opposite her.

"Why didn't you say you were coming?"

He Yuyan smiled slightly at him.

"I saw you were busy and didn't want to bother you."

He Yuyan pursed her lips.

"It's not busy, but most of the patients at this clinic are women, and we're mainly worried about disturbing them."

The two entered the clinic together as they talked.

"By the way, how did your official duties go today, young master?"

"I've just taken office, and so far all the matters I've handled are trivial, so they're not too difficult."

I heard from my predecessor that the imperial inspector would be coming to Tongzhou for inspection in a while, so this matter is rather important, therefore…”

Jiang Yang stared at He Yuyan, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

"Brother Jiang, please speak your mind!"

"When I was in the capital, I wrote a letter to my mother saying that we had become engaged."

She's been back in Tongzhou for over a month now, and she'd like to invite you over for dinner today so we can discuss setting our wedding date.

"Isn't this too fast?"

He Yuyan hesitated for a moment.

She originally planned to start her clinic first, and then discuss marriage with Jiang Yang after a year or two, once the news of her faked death in the capital had faded from memory.

That way they won't have to worry about anyone finding them.

"Yan'er, you have changed your name now."

Besides, everyone in the Marquis's mansion except that person thought you were dead, so what are you afraid of?

"Do you perhaps regret coming here with me?"

"Brother Jiang, what are you saying? Yan'er is not the kind of person who goes back on her word."

If I truly coveted wealth and status, why would I have used the pretense of death to escape the Marquis's mansion with you...?

He Yuyan felt wronged.

Seeing her frail appearance, with tears welling up in her eyes and on the verge of tears, Jiang Yang pulled her into his arms, feeling a pang of self-reproach.

"I'm sorry, Yan'er, I... I apologize to you."

I was too hasty. I was just afraid that things might change if I waited too long, thinking…

Yan'er is beautiful, and so many men covet her beauty.

He was terrified of others...

That's why he wanted to marry her into the Jiang family as soon as possible.

“Brother Jiang, I know everything, and I understand your concerns.”

"If that's the case, then I'll go home with you to meet your aunt!"

Since I've already decided on him, what difference does it make if it's sooner or later?

That evening, He Yuyan, accompanied by her maid carrying gifts, arrived at Jiang Yang's home in Huai Zhao County.

This is the backyard of the county government office, a courtyard with one entrance.

The front section served as the county government office, while the back section was the residence of Jiangyang, the county magistrate.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw a woman who looked to be about forty years old picking vegetables.

Seeing the beautiful young woman following her son into the courtyard, the old woman, hunched over, tried to stand up.

"Mother, why did you do it yourself? Didn't I tell you to rest?"

"Aunt Hua will take care of the cooking. My son is an official now, receiving a salary, so you just need to wait for your meal."

Jiang Yang quickly stepped forward to help the old woman, but pretended to scold her.

“I can still do it. Back when you were in school, I did laundry for the wealthy families in town every day to earn money to support your education…”

The old woman kept rambling on and on, and it seemed she only remembered that her son had brought a girl with him.

She turned to He Yuyan behind her son and said, "You must be the Miss Yan'er that Yang'er often mentions, right?"

Upon seeing the woman, He Yuyan gave her a proper bow and said, "Greetings, Auntie."

"Okay, okay, your aunt feels a sense of familiarity as soon as she sees you."

Such a wonderful girl will belong to the Jiang family from now on, and Auntie is overjoyed.

He stepped forward, took her hand, and smiled kindly.

After chatting with Jiang's mother for a while, He Yuyan spontaneously led her maid into the kitchen in the backyard, leaving Jiang Yang and his mother there to catch up on family matters.

"Yang'er, have you told her about the marriage?"

Jiang's mother glanced behind her.

"Mother, I told you, Yan'er agrees."

"That's really good. Mother is very satisfied with her too."

Just by looking at how she immediately took over Aunt Zhou's cooking duties upon arrival, it's clear that this daughter-in-law is someone she can control.

"By the way, Mother, I heard you say that her family used to be small merchants who dealt in medicinal herbs?"

"Ah."

Yan'er had told him that her father used to be in the medicinal herb business.

The old woman's cloudy eyes flickered.

"My son, her parents must have left her a lot of money after their death!"

I heard that the pharmacy she opened was opened with that money. Is it profitable?

"Mother, why are you asking so many questions? You don't need to worry about this. Just enjoy your retirement."

"How can I not worry? When she marries into our Jiang family, the clinic will naturally belong to our Jiang family as well."

"What, can't I, as the mother-in-law, even ask about it?"

At this point, Jiang Yang felt a headache coming on.

He's a grown man with an official position and connections; why would he need a woman's money?

But he couldn't escape his mother's incessant nagging.

After listening to many things, Jiang Yang felt that his mother was right about one thing.

Now that he has entered officialdom, the expenses required for his promotion in the bureaucracy will undoubtedly be considerable.

Tongzhou County was so poor that his salary was barely enough to support his family.

Now that Yan'er has married him, husband and wife are one, sharing happiness and joy. From now on, hers will naturally belong to him.

He Yuyan, who was in the kitchen, was unaware that the mother and son were plotting against her.

Upon meeting her today, the old lady was indeed as she had imagined—a kind and frugal old woman.

The old lady, a widow and orphan, raised Jiang Yang to be a successful man; it must have been no easy feat.

It seems that from now on, she should accompany Jiang Yang and take good care of her.
