Even though she was mentally prepared, Madam Lin still staggered and almost fainted. Fortunately, her trusted confidant, Nanny Chen, supported her in time.

"Please keep this matter confidential, Doctor Wen."

"Wen will keep his mouth shut."

Madam Lin glanced at Nanny Chen, who then took out a purse that looked very heavy and stuffed it into Doctor Wen's hand.

Doctor Wen accepted it without much thought, as he felt uneasy if he didn't accept it.

"See Doctor Wen off."

"Yes, Madam."

After Doctor Wen left, Madam Lin returned to Lin Susu's room, where Nanny Wang was sitting beside the bed trying to calm her down.

"Come to my place in the evening and take the medicine."

The Lin family has a pharmacy, and naturally they also have abortion prescriptions.

In another courtyard, Aunt Sun looked towards the direction of Lin Susu's courtyard, gently waving the round fan in her hand.

"Xing'er, go and find out what's wrong with the young lady and why she suddenly called a doctor."

Xing Er immediately said, "Auntie Sun, it's not the eldest lady who is sick, it's the eldest young lady's wife who is not feeling well."

"Then why did you go to the eldest girl's yard?"

"It was said that the eldest young lady went to see the eldest young lady, and she felt uncomfortable after sitting for a while."

Aunt Sun frowned and pondered for a moment, "Pay more attention to that side."

＊＊＊

When Jiang Yueyang came out of Linglong Pavilion, several carriages passed by.

The breeze blew up the curtains of the carriage, revealing the people sitting inside. They were the noble ladies who had previously entered the palace to attend the eldest princess's flower-viewing banquet.

There was a palace maid following each car, which Jiang Yueyang found a bit strange.

At this moment, the carriage at the end suddenly stopped.

The granddaughter of the Grand Tutor, Gu Ruo, poked her head out of the carriage and waved at Jiang Yueyang, "Miss Jiang, can you come over here for a moment?"

Jiang Yueyang walked forward puzzledly.

"My name is Gu Ruo, and I want to be friends with you." The girl smiled sweetly.

Jiang Yueyang was even more confused, "Miss Gu, why do you want to be friends with me?"

"Because you are very beautiful and special, and I like to make friends with special people. Let me tell you a secret, we just came out of the palace."

Jiang Yueyang raised her eyebrows slightly and was about to ask them why they came out of the palace.

The maid standing next to the carriage said calmly, "Second Miss Gu, we should go back."

Gu Ruo glanced at the palace maid and said quickly, "Miss Jiang, I will post a message for you. Let's play together then."

Jiang Yueyang smiled at her politely.

Gu Ruo didn't care. He waved at her and put his head back into the carriage.

The carriage moved farther and farther away.

This time, in addition to a few things given by the Queen, the noble ladies also returned with a palace maid.

Except for the noble ladies and the emperor and empress who stayed in the palace, no one knew the role of the palace maids.

After returning home, the ladies simply told their families not to provoke Minister Jiang's daughter, and it was best to just walk away when seeing her from a distance.

In addition, they also secretly ask their family members whether they have done anything bad.

If so, please stop as soon as possible or write a letter to apologize.

Then, some of the noble ladies received a reprimand.

At that time, on the other side, after much inquiry, Cui Yuan, the secretary of Dali Temple, finally found the cousin of the Lin family on a flower boat.

After a few drinks, the two became close brothers.

"Brother Cui, you have a good... drinking capacity. I... can't take it anymore!" After saying that, Zhao Quan passed out drunk with a bang.

Cui Yuan pushed Zhao Quan and said, "Brother Zhao, can you hear me? Where is your home? I'll take you back."

Zhao Quan did not respond.

Cui Yuan did not give up. He glanced around and lowered his voice and asked, "Brother Zhao, do you have any secret relationship with Lin Susu?"

Zhao Quan hummed twice, but still didn't respond.

Cui Yuan, who originally wanted to get him drunk to get him to talk, couldn't help but give him a slap on the head when he saw this, "Tsk! This guy is so useless."

Cui Yuan stood up and prepared to leave, but after taking two steps he felt so angry that he turned back and kicked Zhao Quan.

In a blink of an eye, the sun was setting, and Jiang Yueyang sat contentedly on the carriage heading home.

Cui Yuan also sat down tiredly at a noodle stall on the roadside. He searched for a long time but found nothing.

"Boss, give me a bowl of noodles..."

"Okay!"

Soon, the noodles are ready.

Cui Yuan picked up the chopsticks and was about to eat noodles when he heard whispers behind him.

"Hey, have you heard? Minister Lin's eldest granddaughter is pregnant."

"When did it happen? Who told you that?"

"That's what Mrs. Wu from Plum Blossom Lane said today."

"How did Mrs. Wu know that?"

"How should I know? She seems to have heard it from others."

"Is it fake? I've seen the eldest granddaughter of Minister Lin's family. She doesn't look like that kind of girl who doesn't behave properly."

"There is no smoke without fire, and today I saw the servants of the Lin Mansion go to Baicaotang to ask for a doctor."

"Seeking a doctor doesn't mean anything. Who hasn't had a headache or fever?"

"Believe it or not, it's spreading everywhere now."

"Come on, stop eating, let's go and ask if it's true."

The women left in a hurry, and Cui Yuan quickly finished his noodles and continued his investigation.

Lin Mansion.

Aunt Sun's maid Xing'er ran into the yard, panting and saying, "Aunt Sun, my mother just asked me if the eldest lady was..."

At this point, Xing Er paused, then approached Aunt Sun and whispered, "She asked me if the young lady was pregnant, and said that there are rumors that the young lady is having an affair."

Aunt Sun's eyes suddenly widened, and then she became visibly excited.

"So that's why. I was wondering why you suddenly called a doctor. I didn't expect that the young lady, who usually appears to be so chaste, is actually... hehe." Aunt Sun laughed so hard that her shoulders trembled.

As the sun and moon alternated, the streets were deserted and the entire capital was shrouded in silence.

The vermilion door was closed tightly, and the gold paint on the door knocker gleamed faintly in the moonlight.

The inner courtyard separated by a wall appears calm, but in fact, undercurrents are surging.

Nanny Chen came to the Lin Mansion's pharmacy, which was run by a manager and two servants who had some knowledge of pharmacology.

When the three saw Nanny Chen coming, they all stood up and greeted her.

Nanny Chen said, "Young Madam is not feeling well. I'll get some medicine."

"What medicine does Nanny Chen need? I'll ask them to get it for you."

"No, just go and do your own thing. I can catch it myself."

When the steward heard this, he knew that they shouldn't listen, ask or look at this moment.

"Then you get busy." The steward smiled flatteringly, and then said to the two servants, "You two go collect the herbs that are drying outside."

There are no medicinal herbs outside. These are just excuses used by the manager to send people away.

The two servants were also smart men. They responded and went out.

When Nanny Chen saw that the three of them had gone out, she was about to get some medicine when she heard Aunt Sun's voice from outside the door.
