"Zhou Chenyang cannot die now. Send a doctor over there to treat him properly."
"Send someone to keep a close eye on the Lin residence. Report any unusual activity to me immediately."
Grandpa Yu responded.
Princess Anle reached out and knocked on a sedan chair, and the sedan chair bearers lifted the chair and headed towards the post station.
The wind lifted the curtain, revealing her slender neck, with a very prominent Adam's apple. She reached out and pulled her collar to cover it.
In contrast to the festive decorations at the Lin residence, the city lord's mansion was shrouded in gloom and despair.
Zhou Chenyang was in a coma for several days, and Hongxiu and Jiang Xinrou were on tenterhooks for those same days.
Their combined wealth and status now depend entirely on Zhou Chenyang. No matter how fiercely they fight, they both long for Zhou Chenyang to wake up. (www.cascoo.net)
By evening, the steward of the city lord's mansion had brought in a skilled doctor who was able to bring down Zhou Chenyang's fever, and his condition began to improve.
Hongxiu and Jiang Xinrou breathed a long sigh of relief.
The doctor said that as long as Zhou Chenyang's fever subsided, he would be fine.
The two women started bickering again. Hongxiu said with a smile, "Sister, I heard that Lin Xiuyan is getting married today, and the Lin family is holding a huge banquet. It's very lively."
"I heard this scene is completely different from when your sister got married. Lin Xiuyan is your cousin, aren't you going to go and see?"
Jiang Xinrou had heard about this before, and she was already furious, feeling that the Lin family was far too biased.
Even though she knew that Hongxiu meant no harm by saying those words, she still couldn't suppress the bitterness in her heart.
Jiang Xinrou said coldly, "You also came from the Lin family. If you want to go back and see, I won't stop you."
Hongxiu smiled and said, "I am just a maid. No matter how good the Lin family is, it has nothing to do with me. But has Madam Lin ever treated you as her own daughter?"
"If you ask me, Madam Lin really went too far. How could she treat you like that!"
Jiang Xinrou remained silent with a dark expression.
She knew from the beginning that she was living under someone else's roof, so she always worked hard to prove her excellence and suppress Lin Xiuyan.
But the truth is, no matter how hard she tried, she could not become Lin Yunzhi and Qu Shuangyue's biological daughter.
She gritted her teeth and said, "No matter how grand the Lin family's entourage is, it doesn't change the fact that Lin Xiuyan is taking in a son-in-law. Only the most useless man would do that!"
"The man I married is a thousand times, ten thousand times more noble than the man Lin Xiuyan married!"
"Then I can rise in status through my husband and become a high-ranking noblewoman, while Lin Xiuyan will remain just a lowly merchant girl for the rest of her life!"
Thinking about it that way made her feel much better.
No matter how much Lin Yunzhi and Qu Shuangyue dote on Lin Xiuyan, it cannot change their lowly status.
Scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants—merchants have always been the lowest in social standing!
She is now far more noble than Lin Xiuyan!
The next morning, Ye Junfei rode a tall horse to the Lin residence to fetch the bride.
For Lin Xiuyan, this was a marriage of convenience; for him, it was a major life event—marrying a wife.
Although the current situation is special and he cannot marry her with a grand wedding procession, he wants to do everything he can.
