The Duke's Mansion.
Qin Zongliang listened to the news outside with a satisfied expression:
"How about that sick boy from the Lin family?"
Xue Ren: "I heard that before I woke up, Mrs. Gu had already finished her work at the camp and rushed back to the city."
Qin Zongliang: "It doesn't matter whether she wakes up or not. When she wakes up, we will find a way to let her enter the prince's palace. If she doesn't wake up, we can also ask the Minister of War to change the candidate to our benefit. How about Meng Lian?"
Xue Ren: "Menglian is going well. Hong Anbo even went to her place to stay overnight last night."
Qin Zongliang: "Go and tell Meng Lian that if you can get pregnant as soon as possible, it's best if you can get into the Earl's Mansion. If you can't get in, everyone in the Earl's Mansion must know."
Xue Ren hesitated and said: "Hong Anbo is not young after all. I am afraid that Meng Lian may not be able to get pregnant in a short time..."
Qin Zongliang raised his eyes and looked directly at him, speaking softly but firmly:
"What I'm talking about is, let Meng Lian be pregnant with a child."
After hearing this, Xue Ren understood the meaning and hurriedly said:
"I understand that if Hong Anbo is unable to do what he wants, he will find someone to help."
Qin Zongliang looked away with satisfaction: "How is Pingyang Marquis Mansion?"
"My uncle sent away all the servants who married the third young lady. He seemed to know something. I heard from the housekeeper that the third young lady's eyes were swollen when she returned home in the morning."
Qin Zongliang said nonchalantly: "He knew it but didn't get angry. My brother-in-law is also smart and aware of current affairs. It's reasonable for him to send a few servants to vent his anger. Go to the warehouse to find the warm jade chessboard and let it go later. Third Miss, take it back and give it to Marquis Pingyang."
When Xue Ren agreed and left the room, Qin Zongliang leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes and smiled softly, and said in a light and contented voice:
"If you don't treat me well, wouldn't you be betraying your good intentions towards the Duke's Palace? You think that everything will be fine if you find someone to take the blame. Haha, I want more than just your good reputation for deceiving the world and stealing your reputation."
Lin Mansion.
Bai Yiran sat at the table with a straight face, staring at Bai Zhi as she fed Lin Jinyan the medicine.
Lin Jinyan frowned as she drank, and after finishing her drink, she smiled at Bai Yiran to please her.
Bai Yiran looked away and said coldly: "I want to check the young lady's body. Bai Zhi will leave her helpers while everyone else goes down."
Hong Jiu, Yutong, Zhou Momo, and Gu Momo bowed and exited the room and closed the door.
Seeing Lin Jinyan lifting the quilt and about to get out of bed, Bai Yiran's face was dark, but his eyes could not stop concern. He quickly stood up and sat beside the bed, and pushed Lin Jinyan back into bed.
"Auntie, please don't be angry."
Bai Yiran raised his hand angrily, waved away Lin Jinyan's coquettish hands, and sat down at the end of the bed, further away from Lin Jinyan.
"How did you promise me before? How did you promise me over and over again that you will take good care of yourself? Have you forgotten? I have just been out of the city for a few days and you are like this. You can take me seriously!"
Seeing Lin Jinyan admitting her mistake, Bai Yiran glared at Bai Zhi:
"Young lady is fooling around, and you are also fooling around? Although the medicinal powder only makes people short-lived, palpitated, and dizzy for a short time, it is still three-part poison. You are still a doctor, how can you use it in such a random way?"
Lin Jinyan: "Auntie, don't blame Bai Zhi. Since she is sincere to me, how can she not listen to what I say?"
Seeing Bai Yiran turn her face to the side, Lin Jinyan sat up, grabbed Bai Yiran's sleeves and said softly:
"Auntie, Yan'er was forced to have no choice at that time. If anything is important, big things will be reduced to trivial matters. Yan'er's stigma will not be washed away, and the reputation of his two parents and the two houses will be affected. Yan'er How can I bear it?"
