Fengxin County.
A few days ago, Chu Qingning and the others went to the nunnery to collect medicinal herbs. Chu Qingning and Yuan Hongjun delivered the herbs back to the Chu village. Bao Linjiang went to collect medicinal herbs for Lin Yingmin’s legs.
Early this morning, Yuan Hongjun rushed to Fengxin County again.
Now that the medicinal herbs were ready and the medical tools for extracting the silver needles were prepared, the only thing left was to start extracting the silver needles from Lin Yingmin’s acupuncture points. However, at this moment, Lin Yingmin refused, leaving Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang bewildered.
Yuan Hongjun thought about it, thinking that Lin Yingmin might be worried about his medical skills. He promised, “Young Master Lin, we will definitely succeed in removing the silver needles for you. No need to worry.”
“I…” Lin Yingmin looked out of the window, observing two chattering magpies perched on the wall, hesitating to speak. Finally, he fell into silence.
Bao Linjiang waved his hand in front of him. “Young Master Lin, do you want us to treat your legs? If not, well leave.”
They agreed to treat his leg for their master’s sake, but he was actually unwilling.
Lin Yingmin finally reacted. He turned to look at Bao Linjiang and stammered, “Where’s your master?”
Both of them were speechless.
It turned out that he wanted their master to do it. The two of them understood.
Bao Linjiang said, “Our master is usually very busy. It’s impossible for her to specially make a trip to Fengxin County to treat your legs.”
Lin Yingmin was very disappointed. He lowered his head slowly. He really wanted to see that girl again. “Then, then can you take me to her?”
Bao Linjiang hesitated, glanced at Yuan Hongjun, and seeing no objection from Yuan Hongjun, he agreed, “If you want to go, we can take you.”
Lin Yingmin had helped them, so his master shouldn’t be angry.
Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang helped Lin Yingmin up. Then, they got into the Lin family’s carriage and left the Lin residence.
In the Lin family’s main courtyard.
In the courtyard, First Madam Lin, who was dressed elegantly, was talking to her daughter. Halfway through her sentence, a servant girl in green walked in.
“First Madam, Second Miss, First Young Master has left the residence.”
First Madam Lin immediately frowned. “Why has he been leaving the residence so often recently?”
The servant girl in green said, “It should be because of the legs.”
At the mention of the legs, First Madam Lin asked, “By the way, who are those two strange young men?”
The servant girl in green had already found out. “They’re people Young Master met in the medical hall. They should know about medicine.”
“They know medicine?” A trace of anger flashed across First Madam Lin’s face. “Who allowed First Young Master to leave the residence at will? Send people to bring First Young Master back. They were all scammers!”
The servant girl in green bowed. “Yes, Madam.” With that, she left in a hurry.
The second daughter of the Lin family… Lin Xueyi asked in confusion, “Mother, what happened?”
First Madam Lin’s expression was ugly. “Yesterday, Lin Yingmin brought someone back and said that he was his friend. Today, another young man came. He also said that he was his friend, but he didn’t mention anything about medical skills. He must be planning to treat his legs secretly.”
Lin Xueyi frowned. “Does Lin Yingmin begin to suspect something?”
A look of disgust appeared on First Madam Lin’s face. “I don’t know either, but looking at how he rushed out of the residence with the two young men, it’s very likely that he found a way to treat his legs.”
“No, we can’t let him treat his legs,” Lin Xueyi said ruthlessly. “Mother, not only did Lin Yingmin kill my brother, but he also occupied my brother’s position. We can’t let him recover. We have to make him suffer for the rest of his life.”
The death of her eldest son was the sore spot in Eldest Madam Lin’s heart. She wished she could skin Lin Yingmin alive. However, First Master Lin protected Lin Yingming tightly and repeatedly warned her not to touch Lin Yingmin. This made the resentment in First Madam Lin’s heart deepen.
First Madam Lin’s voice was filled with hatred. “Don’t worry, I know what to do.”
A group of family servants on horseback surrounded the carriage up front.
The servant girl in green walked to the front of the carriage. On the surface, she looked respectful, but in her heart, she was disdainful. “First Young Master, First Madam asked me to bring you back.”
Lin Yingmin’s heart tightened. When he left, he didn’t tell First Madam because he was afraid that she wouldn’t agree. He didn’t expect her to send people to chase after him.
Yuan Hongjun, not understanding the situation, asked, “Young Master Lin, what’s going on?”
Lin Yingmin calmly explained, “Although First Madam is not my birth mother, she has treated me better than my mother. She is very concerned about me. She is probably afraid that 1 might encounter danger, so she asked me to return.”
Yuan Hongjun felt a little strange, but he couldn’t tell what was strange. “Then are you still going with us?”
Lin Yingmin struggled between filial piety and the desire to see Chu Qingzhi for a moment. In the end, he chose filial piety. He planned to explain to First Madam first before going to find Chu Qingzhi.
“I don’t want First Madam to worry, so I’m sorry. I won’t go with you for now.”
Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang exchanged a glance and didn’t say much. They got off the carriage.
Lin Yingmin returned with the family servants.
Bao Linjiang looked in the direction of the carriage, hesitated, and said, “Hongjun, I feel… there’s something fishy going on.”
Yuan Hongjun nodded. “1 think so too.” He turned around and walked in the direction of the Chu Village. “Little Abalone, let’s go. We’ve tried our best.”
Bao Linjiang followed Yuan Hongjun. “Master should be back, right?”
Yuan Hongjun’s eyes lit up. “She must be back.”
The two of them looked at each other and used their Qing Gong to fly back.
At Tang Jinghong’s house.
After some arrangement, Tang Jinghong’s room looked decent.
He chose the room on the left side of the first floor. The room had a square layout, about thirty square meters, and was very spacious.
A large bed, a wardrobe, a round table with four stools, and a tea table with two chairs by the window. It looked simple and clean.
Tang Jinghong looked at the simple room and felt that he should start decorating the house.
“Qingzhi, wait a moment.” Tang Jinghong took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped Chu Qingzhi’s sweat.
He wouldn’t have kept a handkerchief on him before, but since being with Chu Qingzhi, he thought a young lady might need it and had been carrying it with him.
Chu Qingzhi helped Tang Jinghong make the bed and clean the room. She did not use any spells. The weather was hot, so she was covered in sweat.
When Tang Jinghong said that he would wipe her sweat, she stood there obediently and waited for Tang Jinghong to wipe her sweat.
In her impression, it was usually a woman who wiped a man’s sweat, but it was the other way around. She looked at Tang Jinghong. She didn’t expect men in ancient times to be so gentle and considerate.
Seeing Chu Qingzhi looking at him, Tang Jinghong asked, “Is my face dirty?”
Chu Qingzhi smiled and shook her head. “No, it’s quite clean.”
“Then what are you looking at?”
“Look at you!”
Tang Jinghong suddenly felt a little embarrassed. “Then I’ll let you look as you please.”
Chu Qingzhi laughed. Jinghong was quite cute sometimes..
