w.a.n.g Yizhi also caught sight of Su Bin, but he couldnt bring himself to meet her gaze. His heart was burdened with profound regret.

Little did he know that Su Lans family lineage traced back to the Marquis Mansion. It was a revelation that left him stunned.

While Su Bin hadnt immediately returned to the Marquis Mansion to claim her heritage, rumors circulated that the Old Marquis had generously supported them financially.

The funds for Qin Zhenzhens business venture were entirely provided by the Old Marquis.

Although Su Lan hadnt accompanied her younger siblings to the prefectural city, life in the Qian Family Village had blossomed.

The enterprise of purchasing yam tablets had been taken over by Qian Shanmin. Beyond yam pills, they diversified into procuring various herbs and ingredients.

All these resources were exclusively for Qin Zhenzhens use. Thanks to her needs, the villagers in the surrounding ten villages had been lifted out of poverty and into prosperity.

Anyone with determination could now earn a decent income. Even a kilogram of white radish, previously of minimal value, could fetch a high price when processed into dried radish suitable for tea-making, following Qin Zhenzhens

guidance.

Whenever the villagers encountered Su Lan, they would greet her with deep respect and express their grat.i.tude for the prosperity her family had ushered into their lives.

Su Lan had undergone a transformation in both her appearance and spirit. Her vitality was evident, her cheeks flushed with health, and she appeared at least a decade younger than before.

When w.a.n.g Yizhi laid eyes on Su Lan in town that day, he almost didnt recognize her. If not for the presence of Xiao Yu, he might not have believed it was her.

In many ways, Su Lans visage was reminiscent of her appearance when she married him.

In the village, everyone regarded Qin Zhenzhen as a miraculous healer. She possessed elixirs capable of resurrecting the dead, rejuvenating the aged, and extending ones life.

The Sulan family, in particular, reaped immense benefits from her talents. Su Ning, Su Cheng, and Xiao Yu, once pale and undernourished, now boasted rosy cheeks and fuller figures.

Both Su Bin and Su Qing not only put on weight but also experienced a growth spurt.

Su Lan, in particular, underwent a remarkable transformation. Not only did she regain her youthful appearance, but she also radiated vitality and a newfound sense of n.o.bility.

Gone were the days of early morning toil in the shadows and late-night embroidery, all without the warmth and understanding she now enjoyed.

Today, she had someone who cherished her, and their family had even hired laborers to prepare a sizable plot of land on the mountain for herb cultivation next spring.

Qian Shanmin a.s.sured Su Lan that she neednt exert herself; he would handle the hiring and labor arrangements.

In the past, he had unjustly viewed Su Lan as an aging, careworn woman because he hadnt recognized her true worth.

As the saying goes, a womans beauty flourishes when her man cherishes her.

w.a.n.g Yizhi, glancing at his own worn physique, couldnt help but rue his folly.

Meanwhile, w.a.n.g Yizhis plump wife attempted to negotiate with Qin Zhenzhen, convinced that every offering was well worth it.

However, Qin Zhenzhen a.s.serted firmly, Our pricing is equitable. If you find it unsatisfactory, youre free to turn and depart. I wont escort you out.

Very well, then! w.a.n.g Yizhis stout wife reluctantly accepted the terms and prepared to pay.

Nonetheless, Qin Zhenzhen added, I must clarify that we were discussing the previous rate. Your current obesity presents an entirely different scenario compared to three months ago.

Furthermore, due to your haphazard consumption of various medicines, erratic eating habits, and the accompanying endocrine imbalances, some of your internal organs have sustained significant damage.

Restoring your health now will demand considerably more time and involve a more complex medicinal regimen than initially antic.i.p.ated.

As a result, the current rate is 200 liang higher than the previous one, serving as an additional charge for the initial phase. This extra fee will acc.u.mulate in subsequent treatments..
