Chapter 377 Peach Blossom Madness
Xiao Yan was praised and left happily.
Lin Zhiqing was in a good mood, and his steps were lighter as he went to the file room.
After she got Ling Shuo's medical file, she went straight back to the Lin family.
As the sky gradually darkened, Chao Yan lit the oil lamp and spoke curiously:
"Miss, what does peach blossom madness mean?"
Lin Zhiqing pursed his lips. Peach blossom epilepsy is also called erotomaniacal schizophrenia.
Because this disease often occurs in the spring when peach blossoms are in full bloom, it is named peach blossom epilepsy.
The cause of this disease is unknown, and there are many reasons, including genetics, psychosocial, and personality traits. The medical community generally believes that this is the result of a combination of factors.
Lin Zhiqing answered while reading the file:
"To put it simply, people who suffer from peach blossom epilepsy will firmly believe that someone has fallen in love with them."
"Every move of others will be interpreted by the patient as a display of affection."
"Huh?" Chao Yan was surprised to hear about such a strange disease for the first time. "What if others deny or refuse it?"
Lin Zhiqing spoke without even thinking:
"Even if others deny it, patients will still firmly believe that others love them deeply. In severe cases, they may even cling to others."
"Miss, is there really such a disease?" Chao Yan looked puzzled. "Why does it sound like a fairy tale to me?"
"This is a manifestation of mental abnormality, not a cognitive problem. It does exist." Lin Zhiqing replied:
"For example, Ling Shuo, the brother-in-law of the Supreme Court Justice, once insisted that the Grand Tutor's granddaughter was in love with him, and even caused a disturbance on the girl's wedding day."
"I once heard my aunt talk about this. I heard that the young lady had a very hard time in her husband's family." Chao Yan's tone was slightly sympathetic.
Lin Zhiqing also knew about this.
There was no concept of mental illness in Dasheng. At that time, Ling Shuo kept claiming that the young lady had an affair with him, which directly affected the young lady's reputation.
The most important thing for officials is reputation.
Even though the girl insisted that nothing had happened, she was still misunderstood and did not have a good life in her husband's family, with concubines coming in one after another.
But in the eyes of the world, this matter was the girl's fault, and the tutor was not in a position to intervene.
A mental illness ruined a woman in vain.
Lin Zhiqing had originally taken on this patient with the intention of curing Ling Shuo and helping the girl clear her name at the same time.
But just after a while, the incident with my fourth uncle happened.
The treatment was interrupted and the matter was left unresolved.
How can we use this incident to achieve the goal of getting Dali Temple Minister Zhou Chongzheng out of Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion?
Lin Zhiqing pinched his chin and thought carefully.
At the same time, at the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion.
"Look at what you've done!" Jiang Yunhe's chest heaved, and he was obviously very angry:
"I asked you to go to the poetry gathering so that you could control Li Jinzhi, but you actually let Lin Zhiqing fool you."
"Now I know you fell into Lin Zhiqing's trap, but where is the Minister of Justice?"
Jiang Liuyun straightened his back, knelt in the middle of the main hall, and said nothing.
Jiang Yunhe has been troubled by many things recently, so of course he is not in a good mood.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Lu Huai is holding on to everything that has leaked out of our Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion. The Ministry of War can't win against those people from the Ministry of Revenue."
"If I wasn't tied up, why would I let you do the job of the Minister of Justice?"
"You always mess up the things I give you!"
Jiang Liuyun has heard these words many times since the incident happened.
The veins on his neck bulged, but he had to suppress the anger in his heart.
Seeing his expression, Jiang Yunhe knew that he was not convinced, so he sneered:
"Why, you're not convinced?"
"Tell me, did I say anything wrong?"
It was precisely because of this that Jiang Liuyun couldn't find any words to refute, but what he couldn't accept was that Jiang Liuyun didn't want to do these things in the first place.
Jiang Yunhe didn't know what Jiang Liuyun was thinking, and started to criticize Lin Zhiqing again:
"You've been with Lin Zhiqing for so long, and you didn't even know that this woman is a disaster?"
"Even if she is with Li Jinzhi, so what? What does it have to do with you?"
"Why didn't that kid from the Lu family help her? Instead, you ran over like an idiot..."
Jiang Liuyun had endured it again and again, but after hearing this, he could no longer endure it. He stood up from the ground:
"Father, don't compare me with Lu Huai!"
"Ha!" Jiang Liuyun sneered, "Why, you're so angry because you can't snatch him away?"
Jiang Liuyun clenched his fists. "Father, you are always so kind and gentle to others. Why do you always attack me with the most vicious words and threaten me with things I care about?"
"You are my son, you deserve to be outstanding like me, instead of rotting in the mud!" Jiang Yunhe retorted without thinking.
Jiang Liuyun was furious and started to speak without thinking:
"You stand out? Father, you've probably forgotten how Lin Congrong once held you in high regard. If you truly were better than him, how could you have resorted to such unscrupulous means and done such things?"
“Bang!”
Jiang Liuyun heard the sound first, and then felt the pain on his face.
He was not surprised, but just wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth:
"Father, I was right, wasn't I?"
"So what if I'm right?" Unexpectedly, Jiang Yunhe calmed down at this moment:
"Even if I used all means possible, I still got what I wanted. What about you?"
"You not only lost to Lu Huai, but also to Lin Zhiqing."
"I did all this simply because I didn't want to go back to the time when everyone could bully me. Why do you think people outside respectfully call you Prince Jiang?"
Jiang Yunhe's voice was slightly sarcastic:
"Did you earn the title of Crown Prince by yourself? Didn't you rely on me?"
"I pulled you up because I didn't want you to fall back into the quagmire. You're so indecisive and hesitant."
"It has now come to a matter of life and death, can't you see clearly?"
"The Ministry of War is deeply involved with the Zhenyuan Marquisate. One move could affect the entirety of the situation. Why do you think the Ministry of Revenue was able to investigate so deeply?"
"Lu Huai is indeed capable, but if it weren't for the tacit approval of the people above, how could they have been so successful!"
If Jiang Liuyun had not listened to Jiang Yunhe's words just now, but these words now made Jiang Liuyun feel like he was falling into an ice cellar.
The hairs on his body suddenly stood up and he looked at Jiang Yunhe with an expression of disbelief.
Seeing that he finally came to his senses, Jiang Yunhe took a deep breath:
"When the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked. This is an eternal truth."
"It was the Lin family in the past, and it is the Jiang family now."
"In this war, only one of the Lin and Jiang families can survive."
"If you don't wake up, the Jiang family will be completely defeated!"
Jiang Yunhe's voice was filled with a determination to burn his boats.
