Chapter 305: Having a Daughter‑in‑Law, Forgetting the Master

So she used ten Level Six Pills to trade for a Dragon Blood War Horse.

When it appeared before her, her eyes betrayed the joy in her heart.

"Not bad, Dongcang is male, you are female, shall I introduce you a boyfriend?"

"Obey the Master's arrangement."

Qiao Mai waved her hand, East Warehouse appeared before her; it is often kept in the space, and eats the Pill that Qiao Mai specially alchemized for it, now it is a Level Three Demon Beast, while the Dragon Blood War Horse is a Level Six Demon Beast.

When she saw East Warehouse, there was a slight disdain in her eyes, but after knowing it was the Master's mount, she dared not look down on it.

Since East Warehouse entered the space, it has looked down on any horse; even a little mare that tried to act cute in front of it was ignored.

When it saw the Dragon Blood War Horse, East Warehouse acted as if it had taken a stimulant, frolicking around the Dragon Blood War Horse.

Qiao Mai watched from the side until Dongcang calmed down.

"From now on, this is your daughter-in-law; you two must get along well. East Warehouse, you are my mount; your daughter-in-law is my husband's mount. From now on it will constantly protect my man, so it won't often be in the space."

In no time, a long dragon appeared on the street.

Moon Immortal Pavilion was empty, the living room was brightly lit, and East Warehouse and the Dragon Blood stood side by side.

"Alright, just in time you came, saves me trouble, pick more, you can handle Master Zihan's wedding, but you can't handle Chuan'er's, remember?"

"The daughter-in-law knows, so this time she came, the daughter-in-law brought silver notes, she doesn't want a share of the profit, I also have to give."

Although she was momentarily confused, overall, Madam Wang was still magnanimous.

Upon entering the residence, she heard that the son had achieved Jinshi Second Place, she cried tears of joy; all of this was given to her by Qiao Mai.

Thus, Madam Wang moved back into Jixiang Yuan.

"Yes, mother, the daughter-in-law came this time also for Zihan's wedding; he's already in his twenties, Chuan'er isn't in a hurry, let's handle Zihan's first."

"Yes, Master."

"As long as you like it."

"Are you also going out?"

"Mm-hmm."

Also the main branch of the Wang family dragged people to propose marriage; the matriarch, when idle, would scold the lord.

"Thank you, madam, I didn't expect you to take my words to heart."

"Yo, when did you start studying medicine?"

Thus, Qiao Mai said something to the matriarch, Yi Luru then went out; she hadn't been out of the stall for over half a month.

Everyone wants to use the marriage proposal opportunity to visit Jixiang Yuan; now the prestigious families in the capital all want to enter this residence to see.

"Inside there are the Pills alchemized for you; take what you want to eat, and after finishing, come find me."

"I'm improving my medical skills, so I offer free consultations and pulse diagnosis."

"Haha, let's go, accompany the husband for a horse ride?"

Even the matriarch's natal family sent someone to propose marriage.

"Sure, I don't need your protection."

"I want to find a daughter-in-law for East Warehouse, so it can give birth to a few litters of little Dragon Blood War Horses; that way I can replace the children's mounts with war horses in the future."

"It's been ready for a long time, just lacking execution."

"Alright, you two stay outside, Dragon Blood, you need to transform into a form like your husband's, okay?"

"Look, since we didn't lend them money last time, the two families have acted as if the kinship were broken, and now they shamelessly come to seek relations again."

Yuan Jiaqi was stunned on the spot, and Qiao Mai tugged him.

"Why?"

"Will that daughter-in-law handle everything tomorrow?"

"Since it's a serious matter, I'll help with this task, but when it's time to rest, we must rest."

The lord no longer forced them to study; they could do whatever they wanted, truly comfortable.

"Husband, you know East Warehouse is my mount; for our marital harmony, I also got a mount of the same color for you, do you like it?"

At this moment, a red light flashed on the Dragon Blood, revealing its true form: a horse face, dragon horns, dragon tail, horse body, all covered in red dragon scales.

"Yes, Master."

At that moment, Madam Wang rushed over from Weicheng.

When it was said to be female, the impulse to step forward and pet the horse was immediately halted.

"Watch together; the wedding can be arranged with Chuan'er behind him."

That day, everyone set a banquet to celebrate the two brothers, and that night Yuan Jiaqi received a gift from Qiao Mai.

Qiao Mai looked up at the sky speechlessly, truly having a daughter-in-law and forgetting the Master, but they are in a passionate romance, so it's understandable.

"Hmm, it's best not to be overly involved, we don't aim high; as long as the children like it, that's enough."

"If I don't get you one, you'd become a resentful wife, wouldn't you?"

"This is called a Dragon Blood War Horse; normally it transforms into a horse like East Warehouse, so you won't need a carriage; let it be your mount, it will protect you safely."

"Qiao Yatou said that children born of close kin marriages tend to be simple‑minded and disabled; the more distant the relation, the better the offspring."

"Regardless, you're their mother; this matter is for you to decide."

"Impossible, Zongsheng is only a Fourth Rank official, while Yuan Jiaqi is a First Rank official, Chuan'er is the top scholar, and Zihan is only Second Place."

"Hmm, even though there's no Spiritual Energy outside, I will frequently alchemize Pills for you, guaranteeing your cultivation only grows and never declines."

Since the matriarch entrusted the children's weddings to her, Madam Wang began to bustle, and the matchmaker almost wore out the gates of Jixiang Yuan.

"She doesn't even fancy your few silver notes; keep them, and when Chuan'er holds his wedding, you can bring them as a gift."

At home, Chuan'er and Zihan were having a blast at the Ski Field; after the exams they both wanted to relax.

Yuan Jiaqi looked at it and suddenly asked, "Is it male or female?"

So that's how it is; then we won't consider those two families.

That can be done, but what about… what have you been busy with lately?

Qiao Mai smiled, steadied the table, sat down, and began pulse diagnosis.

Late at night, the couple rode their horse around the house for most of the night, and Yuan Jiaqi only then felt it was satisfying.

When it heard that, East Date was displeased and let out a whinny.

Madam Wang took the old lady's hand and said, "Mother, Zihan is really outstanding; I knew it—our Wang Family children could never be inferior."

The next day he got up early, rode Longxue, and went to the Morning Court with six guards.

The old lady gave her a glance and said, "If it weren't for Qiao Niang, Zihan would still be foolish now."

The old lady pursed her lips, "You see, you daughter‑in‑law will surely reserve the best for Zihan, while what you pick for Chuan'er is only average."

Damn!

Longxue, incarnation.

When the master needs me, you can summon me.

Rest assured, my Wang Family, and even your Pang Family, I will not form marriage ties with them.

Qiao Mai went to the old lady and said, "Grandmother, I have errands during the day and won't be home; if a matchmaker comes to the house proposing a union, you decide."

Master, may I be with my daughter‑in‑law together?

Qiao Mai thought of something, immediately bought two more Storage Pouches on the Platform, and hung them around their necks.

I mean, please keep an eye out, and if there's a suitable match, watch for it; when I return tonight, we can together plan for the children.

The matchmakers, using the pretext of arranging marriages, finally got in to look around, all scrambling and fighting for the chance.

Daughter‑in‑law, remember this.

Why not match it with the eldest son?

Unlike her daughter, when she gets drunk she never sobers up no matter how you say it.

But she doesn't think so; she still treats Yuan Jiaqi and his group as if they were back in Tianshui Town.

Madam, this… this is way too flashy, isn't it?

Yuan Jiaqi swallowed, "Madam, it's not ordinary, right?"

When she set up her stall again, it could make the common folk overjoyed; they would go to the spot where she usually set up each day, only to return disappointed each time.

If that's the case, humph, then send her rolling back to Weicheng; I truly don't know how much she weighs.

The old lady's guess was indeed correct; Madam Wang these past few days presented marriage matches to the two children; the families are high‑status and renowned in Jingcheng, and almost all were intended for Zihan, while Chuan'er—the top prize‑winning scholar—still couldn't compare to Zihan.

That night, after Qiao Mai returned and examined the situation, she went straight to Madam Wang.

Aunt, just show the matches to Zihan; Chuan'er is still young, and the family will soon arrange Yun'er's marriage. We'll discuss his matters when I'm less busy.
