Chapter 1158 Blood Collection
According to Lin Yuesha's confession, Qi'er used her methods to change the ownership of the property that Lin Shusheng left to Old Madam Lin, so that Old Madam Lin did not have any land deeds under her name.
“This servant went to Wantong Money Shop. Old Madam Lin still has a thousand taels of silver there.”
However, their reach is limited; they cannot transfer the money from Wantong Money Shop without the old lady Lin's permission.
"We need to leave some money for Old Madam Lin, otherwise, if she's penniless, do you think she'll want to leave the capital?"
That old hag was always good at acting; she used her status as an elder to put on a show, and her words were more pleasing than her performance.
Grandma Lin is no longer targeting Lin Yuesha. With Lin Yue'e keeping her in check, she is focusing all her energy on dealing with Lin Yue'e.
This old woman knows how to use public opinion to create momentum. Now, rumors are circulating that Lin Yue'e is unfilial. After Lin Shu's death, she immediately turned against her own grandmother and tried to drive her out of the house.
"Yes, when Old Madam Lin thinks Lin Yue'e is a burden, it's only natural that she'll go to live out her days at the farm left by Lin Shusheng. No one can say anything about it, after all, Lin Yue'e was the one who was unfilial first."
After Qi'er finished handling the matter, she was still a little worried that Old Madam Lin would make a scene if she found out that the estate and orchard had changed hands.
"It's alright, just teach her a lesson."
Old Mrs. Lin is still acting like a spoiled brat, relying on her age and seniority. She could easily send her subordinates to intimidate her.
“Miss is right. Old Mrs. Lin is quite pragmatic. She thinks she can’t gain any advantage and will eventually have to pack up and leave. Compared to the capital city where she has no relatives or friends, she would rather return to her roots and retire.”
The Lin family has no shortage of exceptional individuals, and they are eager to gain benefits from Old Madam Lin. If Old Madam Lin returns to her hometown with a thousand taels of silver, it is uncertain whether she will be able to keep the money.
In the afternoon, Qi Heng returned to his residence from the palace, looking quite well.
"My lady, I heard you went to the Prince's villa today?"
Qi Heng deliberately chose a spot as far away from Lin Yuesha as possible, a small action that aroused Lin Yuesha's suspicion.
To verify, Lin Yuesha remained calm and subtly approached Qi Heng while pretending to pour tea.
As expected, Qi Heng's good complexion was due to the makeup on his face, and even his lip color looked somewhat unnatural.
"My lord, things have gone wrong."
Lin Yuesha sent someone to the Xu residence to find Xu Da, only to learn that he was not there at all.
Madam Xu was quite surprised because Xu Da had not returned.
"If I hadn't wanted my cousin to help divert attention, the two of them wouldn't have fallen out."
The threat of severing diplomatic ties is a very serious matter, and it's not something that can be easily backed down from.
Both Luo Wang and Xu Da were furious, and persuasion was useless. Lin Yuesha had no choice but to let the matter simmer for a while and let the two of them calm down before making any further decisions.
Lin Yuesha felt guilty for making such a scene, and no matter how eloquent she was, she wasn't confident she could appease the two of them.
Success is just a hair's breadth away.
The Prince of Luo was angry, so he added croton powder to the tea. If Xu Da hadn't drunk it, he wouldn't have become so weak from diarrhea.
If Luo Wang hadn't used the big black euphemism to allude to Xu Da, this matter would have been over long ago.
However, it is unreasonable to blame everything on King Luo. They originally went to admit their mistakes and ask for forgiveness, so they should be more tolerant.
“My lady, don’t blame yourself. Prince Luo and Xu Da are not children. They are so old and still so immature. Let them reflect on their behavior.”
Qi Heng comforted his wife, but as soon as he reached out his hand, he quickly withdrew it.
"Husband, do you have a solution?"
Lin Yuesha couldn't think of any ideas, so she figured it was the right thing to pass the buck to Qi Heng.
"Yes, but we'll talk about it in a while."
The two who broke off their friendship are probably regretting it to the core now.
The brotherhood of many years will not be broken by a few words, but right now both of them are angry and are arguing over a few words.
"I caught a big fish at my uncle's villa. How about I cook it tonight?"
Lin Yuesha lunged at Qi Heng, feigning intimacy.
"My wife, not today. I have important business to attend to at the palace."
After Qi Heng took office, his palace was renovated. He also had to listen to his subordinates' reports on the case of the Northwest warhorses, which had many subsequent implications.
Seeing Qi Heng rush out of the mansion, Lin Yuesha immediately said to Qingxing, "Let's go find Doctor Yan."
Before the master and servant could even leave the house, Cao Cao appeared as soon as they were told to.
“Sister Yue Sha, you told me last time that you wanted to drain blood without leaving a scar, so I’ve made something to do that.”
Dr. Yan, carrying a medical kit, strode into the room. Not watching where she was going, she tripped on the threshold and stumbled a few steps.
"Sister Yan, don't rush, have a cup of tea first."
Lin Yuesha hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, but Yan Yan waved her hand and took out a small porcelain bottle.
"Look, this is the blood I drew."
Yan Yan has already tested it on herself and the servants in her household. She has commissioned gold needles from a craftsman, and each gold needle can draw blood in one go.
These gold needles are hollow in the middle, making them somewhat difficult to craft.
Yan Yan only had a few sticks in her hand, and she didn't dare to ask more people to test them.
Lin Yuesha glanced at the needle; it was thicker than modern blood collection needles, but it was already the best technology of the time.
"I brought all the tools I used to process the medicinal herbs. I'll make the pills at your residence later."
I heard that Qi Heng has entered the palace, so Doctor Yan can stay overnight without worry.
“Sister Yue Sha, using blood as a medicinal ingredient will definitely cause great harm to your body. Women should be especially careful not to be anemic. If you are weak in blood and qi, it may even affect your future childbirth.”
In Yan Yan's view, Lin Yuesha has made great sacrifices, but she has to keep everything from Qi Heng.
Lin Yuesha's silent sacrifices should be known to Qi Heng. Only when a man is moved will he cherish her all the more.
"We can't tell him."
Lin Yuesha grabbed Yan Yan's hand and pleaded, saying that Qi Heng would never agree to anything that might harm her body. Today, in order to deal with her and not show any abnormality, Qi Heng had even started applying makeup.
Qi Heng is shrewd in his calculations, but when it comes to Lin Yuesha's safety, he becomes excessively stubborn.
"You and your husband have personalities that are hard to understand."
Yan Yan sterilized the gold needles by scalding them over a fire, quickly arranged the blood bags, and then sat down in front of Lin Yuesha.
The needle was thick, and Lin Yuesha's hands trembled; she was very nervous.
"Moonlight Sister, relax, don't tense your hands."
Yan Yan found the vein on Lin Yuesha's arm, applied some alcohol to disinfect it, and then patted it with her hand.
Lin Yuesha nodded, stretched her arm forward, gritted her teeth, and kept her body tense.
Seeing this, Yan Yan had no choice but to make small talk to divert Lin Yuesha's attention.
"I went back to the farm today and just happened to see Lord Xu carrying a basket as he came out of the Prince's villa."
Xu Da's steps were unsteady, his face was somewhat pale, but his eyes were red.
Xu Da thought no one was watching, so he turned his back and wiped his face hard with his sleeve.
"My cousin cried?"
Lin Yuesha was startled, feeling a pain in her arm as if she had been stung by a bee, and then her blood flowed out along the lancet.
