Chapter 110 The Second Competition

"Brother Ziling, was your disappearance that year caused by Meng Yuan and others?" Lin Qian asked.

Meng Ziling's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he reached out and touched his chest, where there was a sword wound that was deep into the bone.

That year, after he was taken away from the Meng family by Meng Yuan, Meng Yuan showed his true colors and wanted to kill him.

However, whether it was because his hands were shaking or he felt reluctant, the sword did not pierce his heart.

If Bai Hongfeng hadn't passed by and saved him, the grass on his grave would be as tall as a man now.

Lin Qian knew the answer just by looking at Meng Ziling's expression.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Qian said, "Senior Brother Ziling, you are the legitimate heir to the Meng family. After the physician competition is over, you must return to the Meng family in an upright manner. I will support you in taking the position of Patriarch of the Meng family."

"Of course I have to go back. The position of the head of the Meng family should have been mine."

Meng Yi has no offspring, so a hundred years later, the position of head of the family will definitely be passed to Meng Ziling.

Meng Ziling suddenly looked at Lin Qian and asked, "Did you find something?"

Lin Qian nodded and told Meng Ziling about Wei Xiaoran's investigation and the confession of Meng Yuan's medicine boy that he had in his hands.

"Great! My uncle can finally be cleared of his grievances." Meng Ziling slammed the table and said.

He still has some memories of Meng Yi. When he was a child, his uncle loved to buy him delicious food. It was he who taught him to write and to recite the Tangtou song.

When his father passed away, he was still too young to remember anything. In his heart, he already regarded Meng Yi as his father.

This is also why he fell for Meng Yuan's trick, just because Meng Yuan said that he would take him to find his uncle.

After a while, Lin Shuo came over and told them to eat: "You two, stop chatting and come over to eat."

Lin Qian and Meng Ziling realized that they had been talking for almost an hour. They looked at each other and smiled.

Although it was the first time they met, for some reason, the two seemed to have known each other for a long time. They had endless things to talk about, and so much time passed by unknowingly.

"Let's go, Senior Brother Ziling, let's go out for dinner."

"good."

Today, Meng Ziling felt the care and love from the three elders, Zhao Xiulin Wu and Lin Changcan, and the enthusiasm was so great that he was a little overwhelmed.

Although he is Bai Hongfeng's adopted son, in fact, this adopted son is not much different from a disciple, because Bai Hongfeng has many adopted sons, including him, a total of thirteen.

Bai Hongfeng taught them medical skills, but he was not as kind to them as an ordinary father and son, and he did not eat with them.

Therefore, it was the first time for him to witness the enthusiasm of his elders.

Lin Qian's family is not like ordinary official families, who emphasize not talking while eating or sleeping. They have no rules at the dinner table, just like they did in the countryside.

"Come here, Ziling! Try this chicken. I made it myself." Zhao Xiu picked up a big chicken leg and put it into Meng Ziling's bowl.

"Come here! Ziling, this is the braised fish made by my wife, try it!" Lin Wu picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks and put it into Meng Ziling's bowl.

Lin Changcan was not to be outdone and gave Meng Ziling some Longjing shrimps: "This is delicious too, try it."

Meng Ziling was too embarrassed to refuse, and before he knew it, the food in his bowl had piled up like a small mountain.

He couldn't help but look at Lin Qian for help. Lin Qian gave him a look that said "May the best for you" and decisively ignored Meng Ziling, buried her head in her meal.

After this meal, Meng Ziling felt that if he ate one more bite, his stomach would burst.

"I feel like I can gain three pounds from this meal." Meng Ziling said with a bitter face.

Lin Shuo and Xu Jingcheng supported him on both sides as they walked.

"Haha!" Lin Qian laughed aside.

Meng Ziling has a very good-looking appearance, with delicate features and eyebrows, and a bit of a androgynous look. At this moment, she looks like a pregnant woman.

After walking for half an hour and drinking a cup of digestive tea, Meng Ziling finally felt less full.

It was completely dark at this time.

"Senior Brother Ziling, why don't you stay at my house tonight? Tomorrow, we will go to the Medicine King Temple together." Lin Qian said.

Meng Ziling immediately shook his head like a rattle.

He still wants to have a good competition tomorrow. If Zhao Xiu and the others give him a good beating again, how can he compete?

"Junior sister, I will give my all in the Medical Competition. Although my uncle's last wish is for you to win first place, I will not give up the first place."

Before leaving, Meng Ziling looked at Lin Qian seriously and said.

Lin Qian smiled and looked at Meng Ziling, her eyes full of confidence: "What a coincidence, I won't give it up, the first place will definitely be mine."

"Then we'll wait and see!"

The two looked at each other and then went home.

The next day, the second competition began.

The scores for the papers submitted yesterday have been announced.

Those who got first grade successfully entered the second round.

The exam consisted of basic questions, so most people advanced.

In the second round of competition, they had to find the herbs needed for a medicine prescription from a hundred kinds of herbs.

These one hundred kinds of herbs are all similar, at least they look very similar in appearance. If you don’t look carefully, you can’t tell the difference at all.

In just a cup of tea, two people handed over the medicinal materials. They were Lin Qian and Meng Ziling.

"Brother Ziling, that's great! You found them all so quickly."

"You're not bad either." Meng Ziling said.

"Lin Qian!" The two were talking when someone suddenly called Lin Qian.

Turning around, Lin Qian saw a boy in black clothes.

"Qu Lingxiao! You finally came. By the way, why didn't I see you yesterday?" Lin Qian asked.

Qu Lingxiao said, "I came late yesterday. I was in the last place and was the last to finish the test. When I came out to look for you, you had already disappeared with Jing Cheng."

Lin Qian nodded, then asked, "Where's Jingmo? And Uncle Qu, are they here?"

Qu Lingxiao shook his head: "No, he and Jing Mo didn't come. Master told me not to go back unless I have nothing to do."

In fact, Qu Nan’s original words were: The first place in the medical competition will be either you or Lin Qian. No matter what results you achieve, you should not come back unless you marry Lin Qian.

Qu Nan was still obsessed with asking Qu Lingxiao to marry Lin Qian, repeating it three times in Qu Lingxiao's ear every day.

"Who is this?" Qu Lingxiao glanced at Meng Ziling and asked Lin Qian.

"Oh, this is my master's nephew, Meng Ziling. Brother Ziling, he is a disciple of my master's good friend Qu Nan, I told you about him."

Meng Ziling and Qu Lingxiao greeted each other.

Afterwards, Qu Lingxiao continued, "By the way, when I came to the capital this time, my master gave me ten taels of silver.

I came to the capital from treating patients all the way here, and I have no place to stay. Do you have a room for me to stay in?"

Lin Qian just nodded when a voice came from behind her: "There are no vacant rooms in her house, why not go to my house."

The three of them looked over and saw that it was Wei Xiaoran who was speaking, and next to him stood Mr. Huang, who was covering his mouth and laughing.
