Chapter 288: My Wife is a Good Person

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

He was afraid that Qiao Mai would get upset and angry. Although she had never explicitly mentioned anything about killing people before, he could deduce many things. He feared her wreaking havoc.

This time, Qiao Mai took the initiative to talk to him. He was so moved that he felt like crying. It indicated that she trusted him.

“Feeling sleepy?”

“Not really. I want to see whether these physicians will fight each other or unite to continue exploiting the commoners.”

“What if they continue?”

Qiao Mai’s eyes emitted a cold light, making Yuan Jiaqi feel as if he could freeze on the spot.

He shuddered. “I won’t stop you. If they continue to harm the country and the people, they deserve to die.”

“It’s great that you understood.”

Seeing he hadn’t slept all night, Qiao Mai handed him a pill, and Yuan Jiaqi suddenly felt much more energetic.

“Wife, do we want to…?”

“No, behave yourself. Soon, you’ll have to go to work.”

“Ah, listening to my wife’s words means there’s delicious food.”

Qiao Mai chuckled. “Hungry?”

“Yeah.”

Suddenly, as if performing a magic trick, Qiao Mai placed one after another of his favorite dishes on the table. Yuan Jiaqi widened his eyes. “Wife, what’s all this?”

“Just eat, don’t ask. That’s my rule.”

“Yes, Wife.’

Early in the morning, the couple enjoyed a pleasant meal before sending Yuan Jiaqi off to work.

The items on the table disappeared in the blink of an eye. The sky outside hadn’t brightened yet, and Yuan Jiaqi had to attend the court session. Being the head of the officials now, he needed to arrive early.

As he entered, the officials immediately caught a whiff of the faint scent of alcohol emanating from him.

“Mr. Yuan, why are you drinking so early in the morning?”

“I have a weak constitution. My wife prepared a medicinal wine for me, and I had a few sips before coming.”

“Oh, your wife is so considerate.”

“Yes. that’s why I must not let her down. I will have only one wife and never take concubines.”

“What if you do?”

“I can assure you I won’t. If someone forces me to, it’s akin to forcing me to die.

I’ll go to my death alongside that person.”

After hearing Yuan Jiaqi’s words, everyone’s faces turned red with embarrassment. No one present was refraining from taking concubines.

Who would be so devoted to their wife unless their mind was disturbed? However, after hearing Yuan Jiaqi’s words, the people felt like hiding in a hole.

“In this world, people are interdependent. You treat me well, and I treat you well. When they marry into our families, they bring substantial dowries. They allow us to live comfortably and bear and raise children, enduring the trials of life and death. If we take in concubines, is it not a debt of conscience?”

“Uh, Mr. Yuan, the palace gates are open. Let’s go in.”

Many people smiled awkwardly. They regretted speaking too much just now and getting a lecture in return. f reeweb novel.com

Leaving aside court affairs, when various medical halls saw the prescription on their tables just after dawn, they were stunned. 𝓯𝒓𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝒃𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝙢

The whole city was in an uproar. The prescription appeared openly in public when there were patients. It was like dropping an atomic bomb in the middle of the city.

Waves of shock spread across the city.

The entire capital became aware of the prescription within the morning hours.

Upon receiving the prescription, many physicians in various medical halls were so thrilled that they were speechless.

Some physicians even knelt on the ground, loudly thanking the heavens.

Others were impatiently eager to use this prescription to help save lives.

The pharmacies and medical halls in the capital were thrown into chaos. The Liu family was in chaos. After they knew about it, they held a family meeting.

Royal Physician Liu sat at the head with a stern face, and the people below dared not speak.

“How did the prescription for the children’s fever medicine from Ming Ren

Medical Hall come about? Who can tell me?”

“It came from Tianshui Town.’

“Tianshui Town?” “Yes, it came from a clinic in Tianshui Town.’

“Who was it from?”

“It came from Mr. Yuan’s wife.’

At this moment, Royal Physician Liu’s anger dissipated. “Tell the story in as much detail as possible!”

His eldest son helplessly recounted the incident of Qiao Mai giving away the prescriptions. Royal Physician Liu slammed the table in anger.

“What? Did she give away these prescriptions for free? Claiming to be for the people? Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” “I just wanted to try selling it first.” “How much did you set as the price?”

“One tael!”

Royal Physician Liu immediately smashed the teacup on the table. “No wonder the prescription was released to the public. So the reason is you. How can ordinary people afford it?”

“Why can’t they afford it? It’s only a few taels of silver.”

“A few taels of silver? Some families can’t even afford a few dozen coins. Do you want them to sell their homes and property?”

“That’s worth the value.”

“That’s her prescription, not yours.”

“She gave it to us.”

“Nonsense! We begged her for it. If Madam Qiao hadn’t given it to her friend’s child, could our physicians have begged for these two prescriptions?”

“What to do now? The matter has already happened.” “You guys are fools. Don’t take Madam Qiao lightly.”

“She’s just a first-class official’s wife.”

“A first-rank official? That’s the highest-ranking among the officials, someone highly valued by the Emperor. You act so casually! How foolish!”

“The prescriptions have already been made public. We don’t have any other choice now.”

“Forget it. Prepare a generous gift. I’ll visit Madam Yuan.”

“Father, there’s no need. She’s just a woman. Behind us is the Emperor. What is she? Moreover, who won’t have headaches and fevers? She will need us. We don’t need her anyway.”

“Fine. This matter is settled. If this happens again, be sure to discuss it with me.”

“Yes.”

Qiao Mai had already anticipated the Liu family’s attitude. After making bank for nearly two years, they wanted to settle it like this?

Days flew by, and even after Chuan’er had finished the exam and returned home, there was still no movement from the Liu family. It was as if nothing had happened.

Yuan Jiaqi’s face was gloomy. “Wife, I was wrong.”

“Don’t think that all physicians are benevolent. Some only have money in their eyes. After making money with my prescriptions for two years, they want to act like nothing happened?”

“Wife, what do you want to do?”

“You’ll know tomorrow.”

On the third day after Chuan’er had finished his exams, another major event occurred in the capital: the Liu family was burglarized. All their possessions, prescriptions, and medicinal herbs were lost.

Before dawn, the Liu family reported the incident to the authorities. Officials from the court arrived to investigate the matter.

Unfortunately, they were clueless, much like the previous cases of theft involving the prince’s household.

If the capital had not experienced thefts before, the Liu family might have suspected a connection with Qiao Mai. However, several years ago, wealthy families were silently robbed. It wasn’t an isolated incident.

Therefore, they were cautious about making baseless speculations.

Coincidentally, Yuan Jiaqi was on his day off. He accompanied Qiao Mai in the backyard.

“Wife, what about the Liu family’s situation?”

“I did it to take back the money they earned from prescribing these two years. This money will be used to help disaster victims. They’ve sucked the blood from the people for these two years, and I will return it to the people.” “Wife, you’re a good person. I’m not foolish.”

“Knowing is enough. Although I am not a saint, I will never allow anyone to take advantage of me like this. If they take what’s mine, they must return it to me.”

“Wife, the rainy season in the south will come in a few months. Although the river channels have been dug, some places may still be affected by disasters.” “Don’t worry. As long as you need money and supplies, I will provide you.” “Thank you on behalf of the people, wife.”

“Don’t just focus on court affairs. In May, we will marry our eldest son. From now on, I won’t take care of the family affairs; I will hand them over to Rong’er.”

“What about Yun’er?”

“Since it’s settled, there’s no need to hurry. When Feng’er’s wedding is over, we’ll discuss Yun’er’s matters. Otherwise, it will be too chaotic..”
