Chapter 418 Lord Jin Discovers the Green Hat
Master He invited all the best doctors in Qingzhou Prefecture for Young Master Jin.
However, after examining the patients, all the doctors said the same thing: "Young master's incurable disease is difficult to cure."
Young Master Jin, who frequented brothels, was thunderstruck upon hearing their words. He stood there dumbfounded for a moment, then suddenly stood up, grabbed a doctor's collar, and exclaimed, "What do you mean it's incurable? Aren't you doctors? How come you can't even treat this little ailment!"
The doctor, his face flushed from being strangled, grabbed his hand and begged for mercy, "Young master, this illness is truly incurable, we didn't lie to you."
Young Master Jin slammed the doctor to the ground, yelling, "You're all a bunch of useless idiots! You can't even cure this little illness!"
"Get out! All of you, get out!"
He shouted loudly at the doctors.
The doctors immediately grabbed their medicine kits and hurriedly left.
Master He came over and advised, "Young Master Jin, don't worry. If the doctors here can't see him, we'll find a doctor in the capital. If that doesn't work, we'll find an imperial physician."
Young Master Jin's hope was immediately rekindled.
After this incident, Young Master Jin lost interest in continuing his search for Zhou Ruiyuan in Cheng'an County. Not long after, he set off back to the capital, vowing to seek revenge on Zhou Ruiyuan in the future.
When the Zhou family saw that he was about to leave, they felt relieved.
For some reason, Master He was bewitched and wrote a letter to Madam Jin. In the letter, he explained the young master's illness and specifically instructed that his illness must be cured so that his family line would not end.
After writing the letter, he sent someone by fast horse to deliver it to the Jin family in the capital.
Inside the Jin family mansion in the capital, Lord Jin was still waiting for good news about his youngest son. He and his old ministers had already conspired to kill them all once the boy was found.
Then, if they support the seventh prince to ascend the throne, these old ministers will be able to control the government.
He is now filled with joy, imagining the day he can become a high-ranking official.
After waiting for more than ten days, the Jin family suddenly received an urgent letter.
This letter was sent by Master He on horseback at breakneck speed.
The messenger was a trusted confidant of Master He. He planned to sneak into the Jin residence after arriving in the capital and deliver the letter to Madam Jin's confidant.
However, something went wrong along the way.
The letter did not fall into the hands of Madam Jin's confidants, but rather into the hands of Lord Jin's confidants.
When Lord Jin saw the letter in his hand, he thought it was good news from Cheng'an County.
He opened the letter with a smile, saying, "My youngest son is really capable. If he handles this matter well, our Jin family will be in great glory."
As he spoke, he looked down at the opened letter and examined it closely.
Before long, the smile on his face froze instantly, leaving only a green light.
The butler approached and asked, "Sir? What's wrong? Has something happened to the young master?"
Lord Jin's hand holding the letter trembled slightly as he coldly asked the steward, "Do you still remember that merchant surnamed He from Qingzhou Prefecture?"
After thinking for a moment, the steward nodded and said, "I know, he stayed at our residence for a while back then."
Jin Dalian quickly asked, "Do you remember which year it was?"
After a moment of silence, the butler exclaimed in surprise, "It was the year Madam gave birth to the young master. He arrived at the beginning of the year, while Madam gave birth at the end of the year."
Lord Jin's expression gradually turned somewhat grim. "It's been about ten months."
The butler nodded, looking confused, then glanced at the letter in Lord Jin's hand.
Lord Jin handed him the letter directly, saying, "Take a look."
The butler took it in his hand and his face immediately turned pale. "My lord... this..."
"Keep your mouth shut!" Lord Jin said coldly, snatching the letter back from the steward's hand and storming off to the backyard.
Mrs. Jin was taking a nap in bed, thinking about her youngest son and planning to find him a good match.
Lord Jin kicked the door open, dismissed all the maids and servants, and closed the door.
Madam Jin looked on, completely bewildered. "Sir, what's wrong with you?"
Lord Jin slammed the letter he was holding onto the table. "Read it for yourself!"
Mrs. Jin was completely bewildered. After reading the letter, she froze on the spot.
Lord Jin originally thought she would try to deny it, but to his surprise, Madam Jin admitted it directly.
It is said that this was because Lord Jin often spent time with his concubines at the time, which is why he did this.
Moreover, since Lord Jin is already in poor health, it would be difficult for him to have healthy offspring. Having such a healthy son would be a good thing for Lord Jin.
Lord Jin was so angry that his face turned green. He raised his hand as if to strike Madam Jin, but in the end he held back.
He stormed off and immediately summoned the butler, saying, "Don't tell anyone about this, and don't let the young master know either."
The butler nodded.
Lord Jin's face darkened, and his eyes revealed a fierce killing intent. "But that merchant surnamed He cannot be allowed to live."
The butler looked up and asked, "What do you mean, sir?"
Lord Jin raised his hand and slashed his own neck, saying, "He deserves to die."
The steward immediately understood his meaning and nodded, saying, "Sir, rest assured, I will definitely handle this matter well."
Lord Jin nodded slightly.
The butler then asked, "And what about the young master?"
