The wife travels through time and space to honor her husband: The heirless prince raises a child

Chapter 248 The Heir Apparent of Marquis Anyuan is Rich

The heir of Marquis Anyuan carefully examined the area and said, "It really doesn't hurt anymore."

It hurts a little, but it's almost negligible.

He had been suffering from a cold for a while and had taken a lot of medicine, so much so that he was tired of it. Then he developed a toothache, which made the Marquis of Anyuan feel uneasy. He went to the pharmacy to get some medicine, but it didn't help with the toothache.

So, my tooth still hurts a little, but it's nothing serious.

The second young master, Lu Xin, and his several half-brothers exchanged bewildered glances. The second young master said, "What a coincidence, isn't it?!"

"Let's just consider it a coincidence." The heir of Marquis Anyuan had a good memory: "Going out to play is fine, but I won't eat anything. I'm so sick of getting internal heat, I feel uncomfortable in one way or another."

"Yes." The younger brothers nodded: "You can't eat anything too salty or spicy."

As they talked, the group boarded the carriage, planning to first visit a manor outside the capital. The midday heat was intense, and it would be more comfortable to eat fruits and vegetables at the manor, where they would be covered in sweat from the sun.

There was ice on the carriage, prepared by the heir of the Marquis of Anyuan; he was never stingy.

In the past, when I went to the manor to play, I would invite a few of my cousins. My cousin from the second branch of the family especially liked ice and was terribly afraid of the heat. Now that I think about it, the Marquis of Anyuan sneered, "Afraid of the heat? The second branch of the family never had any ice, but I never saw that mother and son die from the heat."

Ice cubes are free, aren't they? Why did this place have to be so hot?

In the past, since the Marquis of Anyuan's heir and the second branch of the family had no conflict, he didn't think much of it. Now that he thinks about it, it's funny. He wouldn't have said anything if the second branch of the family had a block of ice to keep cool. People have ice at home and don't feel hot, so it's understandable that they complain about the heat when they come to the Marquis's mansion.

The second branch of the family didn't have any ice and didn't want to spend the money, yet they complained about the heat at the Marquis's residence.

"Eldest brother," said the second young master Lu Xin, "ten low-level demon beast crystals are a bit too much."

The young men of the Marquis's mansion felt it was a waste to spend just two bowls of Golden Vine Flower wine. They thought it was a waste, but they reasoned that the Great Yan Dynasty had no shortage of half-immortals, whether real or fake, and there was no need to spend ten low-level demon beast crystals.

Spending ten taels of silver is better than ten low-level demon beast crystals. For cultivators, demon beast crystals can be used for cultivation.

“Not too harsh.” The Marquis of Anyuan’s son relaxed, finally relieved of his toothache: “You don’t know how uncomfortable it is. I’m weak but I won’t die, but I’m always getting minor ailments. This time, I caught a cold, and the headache and toothache have really bothered me. As long as I’m not in pain, I’m willing to give you as many demon beast crystals as I want.”

The second young master knew that his brother was very rich. Just listen to him, he didn't even blink an eye at the flower demon beast crystal.

The eldest son of the Marquis of Anyuan was not ostentatious, but his brothers could tell that their eldest brother was not short of money. He also took good care of his younger brothers, so they were all very close to him.

"Ten low-level demon beast crystals are still a bit expensive," a half-brother muttered.

Next, everyone talked about the marriage of the second cousin. The girl from the family to whom they were to be married was quite nice. Everyone from the Lu family had met the girl before. She was very lively and knew how to behave properly. Everyone in the Lu family praised her.

The heir of the Marquis of Anyuan did not join in; he simply listened to everyone's conversation.

The eldest and third branches received a considerable amount of money this time, which made the second branch very happy. After the small engagement banquet, they invited the younger members of the eldest and third branches to have a meal together, and those who were free went.

“Not bad,” said the heir of Marquis Anyuan. “I can still eat the second branch’s meals. I’ve only ever eaten two meals from the second branch since I was a child. I wasn’t full at the first meal, and I wasn’t full at the second meal either.”

"Hey!" Lu Xuan, the younger half-brother, slapped his thigh: "It's leftovers, dishes that were taken away after entertaining guests."

The heir apparent of the Marquis of Anyuan: "..."

They were all members of the Lu clan, so no one bothered. When they arrived at the manor, the sun was very strong, so the young masters quickly got off the carriage and went inside to cool off. The heir of the Marquis of Anyuan went to the fields to direct the servants to pick melons and fruits and take them back.

The watermelon was washed and served, cut into chunks, and everyone happily took some to eat. By mid-afternoon, the Marquis of Anyuan's heir had another toothache. The left side didn't hurt anymore, but the right side started hurting. Now, what to do? He quickly brewed the golden vine flower tea he had brought and drank two bowls.

The younger brothers scrambled to get a bowl: "I'll have one too!"

It's so effective, it must be a good product.

The Marquis of Anyuan's heir was not stingy. He sent someone to the pharmacy to buy more golden vine flowers. The Marquis of Anyuan's heir drank the golden vine flower tea, but the effect was excellent. His toothache was gone, and his half-brothers all praised the taste.

"This is a good prescription," the younger half-brother approved.

However, as evening approached, when the heir of the Marquis of Anyuan got up to invite everyone to dinner, he exclaimed, "Oh dear!"

"What's wrong?" the second young master asked.

"My left side hurts." The heir of Marquis Anyuan panicked, "My left arm hurts too."

The second young master knew that the heir of Marquis Anyuan was straightforward and not pretentious. This day had been quite eventful for him; he had either a headache or a toothache, and now, for no apparent reason, his back and arms were aching.

There's no need to ask the Marquis of Anyuan's heir; he's in pain for no reason, without bumping or hurting himself.

"Eldest brother," the second young master Lu Xin hesitated, "If all else fails, we can go to the Qin Yan Marquis's residence tomorrow to find Qin Lang, or even the Princess Consort Rong. We can give them ten more low-level demon beast crystals and have them completely cure you. It's not good to keep getting minor illnesses like this."

Several of his half-brothers chimed in, "That's right, we also have demon beast crystals."

The eldest brother is the heir apparent of the Marquis of Anyuan, and he is their support. It won't do if he is always sickly. No one cares about the heir apparent of the Marquis of Anyuan more than these illegitimate sons. Cousins ​​and the like have to take a backseat.

The Marquis of Anyuan's heir sat down. The second son and his younger half-brother looked worried. The Marquis of Anyuan's heir waved his hand, indicating that everything was fine. It was just some mysterious thing and had nothing to do with any real illness.

"When my mother sought out a rogue sorcerer, someone offered a solution." The Marquis of Anyuan's heir's face darkened. His several illegitimate sons listened attentively, wondering why such a solution wasn't being used. The Marquis of Anyuan's heir continued, "This solution is to expel the second branch of the family from the clan. My father doesn't agree to this, nor do the clan elders."

Expelling a branch of the family is a major event. Usually, a family is expelled only if it cannot tolerate another branch. The illegitimate sons were shocked, and now they finally understood why the problem hadn't been solved. With the sorcerer's words, the Lu family wouldn't expel the second branch of the family.

Why would anyone make things difficult for orphans and widows over something that can't be seen or touched? Wouldn't that be forcing them to their deaths?!

"Perhaps there is another way," said the younger half-brother.

The second young master also said, "Asking a few more sorcerers and spending more monster crystals is fine too."

The Marquis of Anyuan nodded. It was cool on the estate, and the young masters of the Marquis's manor did not return that day. Besides, they were enjoying fresh fruits and vegetables, so they were reluctant to leave and planned to go directly to the Marquis of Qinyan's manor early the next morning.

Before this, they sent a guard to deliver a letter to the Qin Yan Marquis's residence, as they couldn't just go there rashly. If Qin Lang was out on business, they would be disappointed if they went there and found nothing there.

In the village, there are mountains, water, and ice blocks, so you can sleep well all night.

The next morning, the young masters got up.

The younger half-brother eagerly ran to ask the heir of Marquis Anyuan, "Elder brother, do your waist and arms still hurt?"

The heir of Marquis Anyuan was speechless: "...It doesn't hurt anymore, it's still the same old thing."

The second young master made up his mind: "Hurry up and have your meal. After you eat, we'll go to the Qin Yan Marquis's residence."
