Chapter 23: Stupid People Don't Talk Much
No one was happier than the maids and servants in Old Lady Lin's room.
If the old lady died, they, the servants, would be sold off or suffer some other fate.
When an elder in a wealthy family passed away, they would sell their servants to human traffickers. Only the servants who were particularly favored would be released by their masters.
The maidservant who served the old lady was very excited and shouted to the people waiting in the yard: "The old lady can walk now, the old lady can walk now."
When Feng Yuan's half brothers and their wives heard what the maid said, they all rushed into the house.
Seeing that the old lady’s illness was cured, everyone cried and laughed with joy.
On the one hand, it was out of filial piety, and on the other hand, they were grateful that their Feng family could rely on Feng Yuan and did not have to observe three years of mourning.
For a moment, the room was bustling with activity.
Lin Qianqian instructed the maid: "Help the old lady sit down and rest for a while. She hasn't eaten for many days. She shouldn't walk too much now, or she will be exhausted. Also, give her some food, something soft and easy to chew."
"Yes." The little maid was very obedient and quickly helped the old lady sit down on the chair.
The old lady opened her mouth and spoke, "I'm a little hungry." Her voice was hoarse and weak.
Feng Shu: "Don't worry, grandma. I've asked the kitchen to send food over."
The room was too crowded.
Feng Shu pulled Lin Qianqian into her room to talk.
"Sister Lin, I never thought that your medical skills are so superb."
"Sister Feng, please keep my medical skills a secret."
Seeing that Lin Qianqian's head was covered in sweat, Feng Shu quickly took out a handkerchief to help wipe it.
In such a dry and cold autumn, the reason for sweating is certainly not the heat, but rather the excessive energy consumed during the acupuncture.
"I know, Sister Lin, don't worry. I won't tell anyone else. My father will also restrain the people in our Feng family and prevent them from spreading the news."
Feng Shu was very grateful. She heard from Lin Daiyu that acupuncture was very energy-consuming and could only be done once every half a month. However, it was less than half a month since Lin Daiyu treated Guan Jun Hou, and the damage to Lin Daiyu's body must have been great.
I must tell my mother later that I should give the hundred-year-old ginseng in the mansion to Sister Lin to use for her health.
When Lin Qianqian left, Mrs. Feng forced upon her three thousand taels of silver notes and a small brown wooden box, which contained exactly the hundred-year-old ginseng.
"Lin girl, the things we gave you are a little small. We just want to express our appreciation. I hope you don't mind."
After all, Lin Qianqian not only saved the old lady, but also helped Feng Shu resolve the disaster at the birthday banquet at the Prime Minister's Mansion.
If Feng Shu had fallen into the lake and been rescued by Wang Qing that day, she would have had no choice but to marry Wang Qing or cut her hair and become a nun.
Feng Yuan is a man of his words, and he said to Lin Qianqian: "I promised that as long as you cure my mother's illness, I will grant you a condition, just mention it."
Lin Qianqian smiled and said, "Let's keep this condition for now and bring it up later."
The Dali Temple Minister was in charge of the trial of major cases.
Lin Qianqian wanted to overturn the verdict for her grandfather, the Jiang family, but she knew in her heart that now was not the best time and she couldn't force anyone.
The whole family affectionately sent Lin Qianqian to the gate.
After everyone left, Mrs. Feng's eyes were slightly moist, "What a good child, how could someone not cherish him."
She was abandoned at birth. I heard from Shu'er that the girl from the Lin family now lives in a dilapidated stable in the Lin Mansion.
What a sin! That Lin is such a jerk, he will get his comeuppance sooner or later.
Madam Lin said to Feng Yuan, "Master, the girl from the Lin family saved Shu'er at the birthday banquet at the Prime Minister's Mansion, and now she has saved my mother. Our Feng family has received a great favor from the girl from Lin. If the girl from the Lin family is in trouble in the future, you can help her if you can."
But what Feng Yuan was thinking was: The girl has such ability that she may not need his help at all.
Yesterday, Feng Yuan had dinner with Commander Qin of the Five Cities Military Division. Commander Qin said that he and the deputy commander were able to keep their positions thanks to the girl from the Lin family.
I heard that the Wucheng Bingmasi has received a new task. This case is more difficult. It is a case of officials being murdered. Two officials died, and the impact is huge.
If Lin Qingping does a good job, he should be able to be promoted to the official leader this time.
The relationship between the uncle and niece should be pretty good, but it's a pity that their biological father, Lin Qingyun, is a fool and a stubborn person who keeps pushing away such a capable biological daughter.
What an idiot.
The Feng brothers walked back to the mansion in a mighty procession.
Feng Yuan warned everyone: "Don't tell anyone that Miss Lin knows medical skills."
"Don't worry, bro. We won't tell anyone."
In the family, only the eldest son, Feng Yuan, holds the highest official position. Everyone relies on Feng Yuan, so naturally they will not disobey Feng Yuan's words.
Feng Yuan: "Miss Lin came to our house this time just to be a guest."
Several half-brothers quickly agreed: "That's right, Miss Feng came to our house just to be a guest."

Mansion of Duke Xingguo.
The Queen Mother also had someone send over some special grade Imperial Concubine mangoes in a flower basket, which were tribute from the south.
Out of instinct, Si Xuan picked up the basket and walked out, but after taking a few steps he stepped back.
He was very depressed: What on earth was going on? When he saw something good, his first thought was to deliver it to Lin Qianqian personally.
He must have been stupid because of this disease.
Lady Xingguo said mischievously, "Your father and I are old and don't like sweet food. You should give it to Miss Lin. Miss Lin is your lifesaver, you can't be ungrateful."
Lady Xingguogong added: "The lake water was freezing cold, but the girl jumped into the lake to save you without hesitation. My son, we should have a conscience."
Lin Qianqian, who was looking at the renovation drawings at Jiang's house, sneezed. Who was talking about her?
If she heard Lady Xingguogong say without hesitation, she would definitely feel guilty, because she hesitated for a long time before jumping into the lake.

Duke Xingguo: "It's just right. I asked someone to prepare a cart of gifts. Son, you can go and thank your lifesaver in person."
After Si Xuan left, Duke Xingguo frowned and said, "After Xuan'er recovered from his illness, he was still the same as before, still a cold-faced little general. This can't please the little girl at all. Alas, it's a pity that he didn't inherit the sweet words of his father at all."
Before Si Xuan became stupid, many noble ladies in the capital admired him.
Now that Wang Yuyan has seen a normal Si Xuan, the seeds of love in her heart have sprouted again.
She went to the Lin Mansion.
"Cousin Baozhu, you may not know this, but Si Xuan's idiocy has actually healed, and he has become the same cold and handsome man as before, and his demeanor is even better than before."
"Cousin Baozhu, I have asked someone to find out where Si Xuan is. Let's go check on him together later."
Before the two of them even left the Lin Mansion, they heard that Si Xuan had arrived.
Lin Baozhu hid inside the gate and secretly watched Si Xuan outside.
She wore a white dress with wide sleeves, a white jade crown on her head, starry eyes and a beautiful nose. She was a true fairy. Her figure could not be described simply by the word "beautiful".
Wang Yuyan and Lin Baozhu hid together. She looked at Si Xuan and suddenly felt her whole body go limp, as if struck by an electric current.
Zhao Xiaoliu also rushed to the gate of Lin Mansion and stopped Si Xuan.
"Master, Miss Lin is now in Jiang's house, not in Lin's house."
Si Xuan waved his hand and ordered them to turn around and deliver all the gifts to Jiang's house.
After walking for a distance, Si Xuan asked Zhao Xiaoliu: "When I was stupid, did I really pester Lin Qianqian every day?"
"Yes, it's more real than gold and silver. You really like Miss Lin. You give her all kinds of good things. You even help her pick out fish bones when we eat."
Si Xuan found a reason for his strange behavior: No wonder he always wanted to see Lin Qianqian now, it must be a habit.
The stupid disease has been cured, but stupid habits cannot be completely changed in a short period of time.
Zhao Xiaoliu is a chatterbox. When he talks, it's like a dam has been opened and he can't stop.
"At that time, the master was a simple person who didn't talk much. Although he always pestered Miss Lin, Miss Lin was very patient with the master. She didn't dislike the master like others. Miss Lin was a good person."
"And the reason why the master beat Wang Qing was to protect Miss Lin..."
