The two stepped over the threshold of the Lin residence and entered. He Yunze felt a heavy weight in his heart, wondering what Prime Minister Lin was up to.
Marquis An Ding remained outwardly calm, but his heart was pounding. Glancing at He Yun Ce beside him, he couldn't help but curse under his breath:
"Look what you've done!"
If it weren't for He Yunce, given his status and the Marquis's former reputation, he would never have been so humble.
In the past, the Marquis of Anding's mansion produced a brave and skilled warrior named He Jingyan. Everyone in the capital treated him with respect and gave him face in everything.
But now, he doesn't have to do anything important; he just spends all his time going out to apologize every day.
Hearing the Marquis of Anding's rebuke, He Yunce did not respond; he was also very nervous.
After all, Lin Miaoxin was Prime Minister Lin's lifeline and his direct superior. Prime Minister Lin had personally promoted him to the position of a sixth-rank remonstrating official.
Now that this has happened, although Ruo'an was framed, Prime Minister Lin is unaware of it!
If Prime Minister Lin doesn't get over his anger, he might make things difficult for him every day in the future, and then he won't be able to get by in the future!
Thinking it over, He Yunze followed the servant to the flower hall.
The two had just sat down in the flower hall, and were prepared to wait for a while, but before they could even have a sip of hot tea, Prime Minister Lin walked up to them.
Prime Minister Lin was dressed in a light blue casual robe, his expressionless face revealing neither joy nor anger. Upon his arrival, Marquis An Ding was the first to rise and apologize.
"Lord Lin, I have come with my son to apologize to you. The past troubles were all my son's fault. How is your daughter's health these days?"
He Yunze also hurriedly stood up and bowed deeply to Prime Minister Lin: "Sir, everything that happened before was my fault. My wife and I were deceived by treacherous people. Please forgive us!"
His words carried a hint of friendliness, but Prime Minister Lin did not respond to him. Instead, he turned to answer the Marquis of Anding's question:
"Song Xizhi only treated him once, and then taught the treatment method to Physician Li, instructing Physician Li to continue to follow up in the future. She never interfered in the matter again."
"But this..."
Upon hearing Song Xizhi's name and sensing Prime Minister Lin's somewhat strange attitude, He Yunze's heart leaped into his throat, and he even held his breath.
His nerves were on edge: "Is Song Xizhi's medical skills fake? Did her treatment make Lin Miaoxin worse?"
"I knew it!"
He Yunze's words were tinged with resentment.
It should be understood that if Song Xizhi truly possessed exceptional medical skills, he could cure diseases that no other physician in the world could.
Why would she teach such precious medical skills to Physician Li, and give up a good opportunity to win over the ladies of the capital?
Song Xizhi was not a woman indifferent to fame and fortune. She must have wanted to be in the limelight, but she was also afraid of being held responsible if she couldn't cure the disease!
Upon hearing this, Marquis An Ding's expression changed drastically, and he instantly became tense.
Prime Minister Lin simply shook his head: "It's not that her medical skills are bad, but rather that they are too good."
"I summoned a trusted physician to examine Miaoxin's body, and he confirmed that the toxins in her body had indeed been reduced significantly, and the medical skills she taught Physician Li were indeed sufficient."
Upon hearing this, Marquis An Ding breathed a sigh of relief: "Then, Lord Lin, what do you mean?"
Prime Minister Lin raised the corners of his mouth politely: "The physician said that with her medical skills, she can really cure the deficiency that Miaoxin was born with, so I want her to continue to help Miaoxin with her treatment."
Upon hearing this, He Yunze froze on the spot, speechless.
An Ding's expression now held a hint of hesitation: "I see..."
Seeing his expression, Prime Minister Lin hurriedly asked, "Is there a problem?"
Marquis An Ding was somewhat worried. Song Xizhi had taught her medical skills to Physician Li and entrusted him with full responsibility for the ladies' subsequent treatment, but she herself was unwilling to get involved. This clearly showed that she did not like to show her face in public.
Moreover, after what happened with Song Ruo'an, the Marquis of Anding himself was somewhat reluctant to let Song Xizhi treat him. Whether she was willing to treat him or not was one thing, but if any problems arose, the Marquis's mansion would no longer be able to bear the consequences.
Seeing that the Marquis of Anding remained silent, Prime Minister Lin's expression changed slightly. He then turned to He Yunze and spoke:
"I know you have come here to apologize. In fact, Young Master He is quick-witted and exceptionally talented. His two suggestions have shocked the court. He is a promising talent who will be remembered in history."
"The only person I've ever cared about is Miaoxin. If your Marquis's mansion can cure Miaoxin's illness, and we both reach the same goal, then I won't hold the previous things against you, and we can still be master and disciple without any rift."
Upon hearing this, He Yunze's eyes lit up instantly, and his dim eyes regained their luster.
Without a second thought, he agreed: "Okay, Miaoxin's health is of utmost importance, she can definitely cure her."
Hearing this, Prime Minister Lin felt much relieved, but considering the Su family's attitude, he still had some worries: "But, will Song Xizhi agree?"
“In the past, I took away Su Mingli’s sixth-rank official position for your sake, which caused some discord with the Su family. I was afraid she would not agree.”
Just as Marquis Anding was about to speak, He Yunze waved his hand and said, "You're overthinking it. Song Xizhi's surname is Song, and besides, she's married into the Marquis Anding's household, so she's a member of the household now. She'll definitely come to treat her illness."
He understood Song Xizhi. Although she had many flaws in her previous life, she was still clear-headed when it came to important matters such as the future of the Marquis's mansion.
As long as Prime Minister Lin reconciles with me, the other officials in the Secretariat who I offended will also back down when they see Prime Minister Lin's attitude, and everything will be fine.
Marquis An Ding looked at him with hesitation: "Will Xi Zhi really agree? I don't think she's willing to show her face in public."
"Father, don't worry, doctors are compassionate, she will agree."
He Yunze felt that these words were actually giving Song Xizhi face. Song Xizhi was not a doctor at all, so where did she get the benevolence? But she was a snobbish woman who only cared about profit in everything.
He was a sixth-rank official, and Lin Miaoxin was the daughter of the Prime Minister's family. His elder brother was in a coma and would die soon. No one could cure him. The Marquis's family needed to rely on him.
If his life becomes difficult, how can the Marquis's mansion expect to have an easy life?
Song Xizhi's only hope was to rely on himself as the future head of the Marquis's mansion.
He Yunze thought to himself, trying to calm his disgusted heart.
Once Song Xizhi helps him resolve this problem in the future, he will forgive and forget about it and never mention divorcing her again.
As long as she behaves well and serves her brother for the rest of her life, he will truly regard her as his sister-in-law.
