So, she exchanged ten Level 6 elixirs for a Dracaena Horse.
When it appeared before her, the joy in her eyes betrayed her inner excitement.
“Not bad. Dong Zhao is male, and you are female. How about I introduce a boyfriend to you?”
“I will follow your arrangements.”
Qiao Mai waved her hand, and Dong Zhao appeared. It often stayed in the space, enjoying the elixirs Qiao Mai refined. Now, it was a Level 3 mythical beast, while the Dracaena Horse was a Level 6 mythical beast.
Seeing Dong Zhao, there was a bit of disdain in its eyes, but after knowing it was Qiao Mai’s mount, it dared not look down on it.
Since entering the space, Dong Zhao no longer paid attention to other horses. Even when a young mare approaches it to show affection, it will be ignored.
However, when it saw the Dracaena Horse, it became excited, frolicking around it.
Qiao Mai watched on the side until Dong Zhao calmed down.
“This will be your wife. You two should get along well. Dong Zhao, you are my mount, and your wife is my husband’s mount. It will protect my man at all times, so it won’t stay in the space often.”
Hearing this, Dong Zhao was displeased and neighed.
“Do you want to go out too?”
“Yes, Master.”
“Fine, both of you can go outside. Dracaena, when you transform, make yourself the same size as Dong Zhao, alright?”
“Yes, Master.”
“Although there’s no spiritual energy outside, I will regularly refine elixirs for you to ensure your cultivation only grows stronger.”
Thinking of something, Qiao Mai immediately bought two storage bags on the platform and hung them around their necks.
“There are elixirs I refined for you inside. If you want to eat, take them yourself. When it finishes, come find me again.”
“Master, can I be with my wife?” “Yes. I don’t need you to protect me.”
“You can summon me when you need me.”
Qiao Mai sighed, feeling forgotten now that they were in love. However, she could understand.
That day, everyone celebrated the two brothers, and that night, Yuan Jiagi received a gift from Qiao Mai.
In the Yuexian Residence, with no one else present, the living room was brightly lit. Dong Zhao and Dracaena stood side by side.
“Husband, Dong Zhao is my mount, as you know. To ensure unity in our marriage, I got a matching one for you. Do you like it?” Yuan Jiaqi gulped. “Wife, isn’t it extraordinary?”
“Dracaena, transform.’
A red light flashed on Dracaena, revealing its true form – a horse’s face, dragon horns, dragon tail, and horse body covered in red dragon scales.
Yuan Jiaqi was stunned on the spot. Qiao Mai nudged him.
“This is a Dracaena Horse. It will transform into a horse like Dong Zhao. You don’t need to use a carriage in the future; let it be your mount. It will ensure your safety.”
“Wife, this is… so stylish!”
“As long as you like it.”
Looking at it, Yuan Jiaqi suddenly asked, “Is it male or female?”
“Female!”
As soon as Yuan Jiaqi heard it, the impulse to touch the horse immediately stopped.
“Why not get a male?”
“I want to find a wife for Dong Zhao so they can have a few litters. In the future, I’ll replace the horses for our children.”
“Thank you, wife. I didn’t expect my words to be taken to heart.” “If I don’t get you one, won’t you become a resentful husband?”
“Haha, let’s go. Accompany me for a ride with the horses?”
Late at night, the couple rode horses around the house. Yuan Jiaqi felt satisfied only after this.
The next day, he got up early, rode on Dracaena, and went to morning court with six guards.
Qiao Mai went to Old Mistress Wang’s place. “Grandmother, I have things to do during the day and won’t be home. If matchmakers are coming to discuss marriages for the children, you decide.”
“It doesn’t matter. You’re their mother; you should decide on this.”
“I mean, help think about it a bit. If there’s someone suitable, keep an eye on her. We can discuss it together when I come back at night.”
“That’s fine. What have you been busy with lately?”
“I’m improving my medical skills, so I’m offering free consultations and pulse readings.”
“Oh, when did you start learning medicine?”
“Long ago. I just needed practical experience.”
“That’s a proper business. I’ll help with this. However, you still need rest when necessary.”
“Yes.”
That way, Qiao Mai informed Old Mistress Wang and headed out after disguising herself.
After half a month without setting up a stall, the commoners were delighted when she appeared again. They visited her usual spot daily, only to return disappointed each time.
Before long, a line appeared in the street.
Qiao Mai smiled, set up the table, and sat to pulse read.
In the house, Chuan’er and Zihan were having a great time at the ski area, wanting to relax after the exams.
Old Master Wang also stopped forcing them to study and let them do whatever they pleased. It was comfortable.
At this time, Madam Wang rushed over from Wei City.
Upon entering the mansion, she heard her son had ranked second in the imperial examination. Overjoyed, she shed tears of happiness. Qiao Mai made all of it happen.
Although she had been confused for a while, Madam Wang was still broad -minded.
Unlike her daughter, who remained stubborn.
Madam Wang held Old Mistress Wang’s hand. “Mother, Zihan is promising. I knew it; our Wang family’s children couldn’t be inferior.”
Old Mistress Wang glanced at her, “If not for Madam Qiao, Zihan would still be foolish.’
“I know. That’s why I came this time with silver notes. She doesn’t want a share of the dividends, but I still have to give.”
“She doesn’t care about your money; keep it. When Chuan’er gets married, you can use it as a wedding gift.”
“Yes, Mother. I came for Zihan’s marriage. He’s in his twenties now. Chuan’er is not in a hurry, but I want to arrange Zihan’s first.”
“Let’s settle Zihan first. Chuan’er can handle his wedding later.”
“Then I’ll take care of it tomorrow?”
“Alright. Since you’re here, you save me the trouble. Be picky, especially for
Zihan. You can’t interrupt Chuan’er’s wedding, remember.”
“Mother-in-law, I’ll take care of it.’
Madam Wang moved into Lucky Garden again.
Since Old Mistress Wang handed over the children’s marriage matters to her, Madam Wang started to get busy. The matchmakers nearly trampled down Lucky Garden’s gate.
They wanted to use this opportunity to enter and take a look. All the prestigious families in the capital wanted to explore this mansion.
The matchmakers, using the excuse of arranging marriages, finally could enter. They were all vying to get inside, eager to participate.
Even Old Mistress Wang’s maiden family sent people to discuss marriage.
The main branch of the Wang family also sent someone to discuss marriage. Old Mistress Wang scolded her husband whenever she had the chance.
“Look. Ever since we didn’t lend them money last time, we’ve severed ties. Now, they are thick-skinned enough to come and climb the relationship ladder again. ”
“Don’t worry; I won’t choose our Wang family and your Pang family.”
“Why?”
“Qiao Mai said that close relatives marrying results in children prone to being mentally or physically disabled. The more distant the bloodline, the better the child will be.”
“I see. Then, don’t consider these two families.’
“Yes, it’s best not to be involved with them. We don’t need to climb high. As long as the children like each other, it’s enough.’
Old Mistress Wang sneered, “Just watch; your daughter-in-law will keep the good ones for Zihan. The ones she picks for Chuan’er will be average at best.”
“That’s impossible. Zongsheng is only a fourth-ranked official, while Jiaqi is a first-ranked official. Chuan’er is the top scholar, and Zihan is second. How can she think like that?”
“But she doesn’t think so. She treats them like she did in Tianshui Town.”
“If that’s the case, let her return to Wei City. She doesn’t know how much she’s worth.”
It turned out that Old Mistress Wang’s guess was correct. Over the past few days, Madam Wang gave all the prominent ladies for Zihan. Even the top scholar, Chuan’er, was not as valued.
After inspecting them in the evening, Qiao Mai found Madam Wang.
“Aunt, please only handle Zihan’s matters for now. Chuan’er is still young, and we’re about to arrange Yun’er’s marriage. His matters can wait until I’m less busy..”
