Chapter 608 Drink More Hot Water
Lin Yuesha immediately had an idea. Her sudden illness was too abrupt, and there had to be a trigger. If Lin Yue'e hadn't come, she wouldn't have been able to think of one in a short time.
"You said you dreamed about my mother?"
Lin Yue'e gripped Lin Yuesha's shoulders tightly with both hands, her nails almost digging into her flesh, and asked loudly, "What did you dream about my mother?"
In the past, Qin would return within a few hours of leaving home, but yesterday was unusually unusual. Not only did she leave the manor in a hurry and not return home overnight, but she also didn't send anyone a message. Because of this, Lin Yue'e sensed something was wrong.
"In a very dark place, the lady said she couldn't breathe and desperately pulled me, asking me to help her."
Qin's body is currently wrapped in thick tarpaulin, which is definitely not breathable, Lin Yuesha hinted, based on what she knew.
"She grabbed me, preventing me from escaping."
Seeing Lin Yue'e's solemn expression, Lin Yuesha seemed to believe it.
"And then, besides calling for help, did my mother say anything else to you?"
Despite not sleeping all night, Lin Yue'e was still very energetic. She couldn't count on her father to help her find her mother.
She just caused a scene at the Jingzhao Yin's office and was sent back to her residence by the officials. She didn't even get to see her father.
The official relayed a message from her father, telling her to return to the mansion first and not to cause any trouble; even if the sky were to fall, they would deal with it later that night.
It was already evening, but her father still hadn't returned home. She wondered if he was avoiding the matter. Lin Yue'e decided not to wait any longer and sent someone out of the mansion to look for her mother.
It's been almost two days since yesterday morning. Even if there were special circumstances yesterday that prevented the delivery of the letter, Lin Yue'e is still panicking after not hearing from her mother all day today.
"Cough cough cough."
Lin Yuesha's face was ashen. She weakly sat up, but because she had no strength, she swayed and fell back onto the bed.
"Miss, Miss!"
Bai Cha and Long Jing kept a close eye on the situation, and when they saw that something was wrong, they immediately went to help the person.
Lin Yuesha's eyes were tightly closed and her lips were pursed. She was glad that she fell in a good direction. If she had fallen in a different direction, she would have been close to the ground, but the key was that she landed face first, which would have been a terrible sight.
“Miss Yue’e, our young lady is seriously ill and has no energy to accompany you to find the madam.”
Bai Cha urged him to leave, saying, "Please go back."
Lin Yue'e didn't press the matter further, but instead complained that Lin Yuesha was delaying things. She planned to go back to the Qin residence to find her maternal grandmother, since her maternal grandmother was the only one who truly cared for her mother.
Is Miss Yue'e in the courtyard?
Outside the door, several fierce-looking old women arrived, carrying ropes and other items.
A group of people rushed up without warning. Upon seeing Lin Yue'e, they immediately gagged her with a handkerchief and then quickly tied her hands and feet together.
What are you doing?
Granny Fang came out to greet them and was shocked to see this. If you're going to kidnap someone, why not do it somewhere else? Why do you have to do it in your young lady's courtyard? It's obvious you want to implicate Lin Yuesha.
"Granny Fang, I'm so sorry, but this is the master's order. If you're not happy, go and plead with the master."
The leading old woman was not buying it, implying that everything was Lin Shusheng's idea.
Once everyone left, the courtyard became much quieter.
Lin Yuesha's eyelids twitched, then she opened them. She rubbed her face with her hand; even if she had fallen onto the bed, that slap was quite hard.
“Miss, some of my belongings are still in the main courtyard. Why don’t I go back and pack them, and also gather some information?”
After Zhou made a scene in the afternoon and returned home, the Qin family would definitely not let it go. It was already evening, and the Qin family matriarch still hadn't shown up. Xiao He was getting a little anxious about how quickly things were going on.
"Not that fast."
Lin Yuesha nodded in agreement. It would be good to go to the main courtyard to hear some news. "Xiao He, could you mention to the old lady that I'm seriously ill because of a nightmare?"
First came a headache, then she lost consciousness. Lin Yuesha followed the steps.
As soon as Xiaohe left, Baicha immediately came over, pulled a roasted potato out of her sleeve, and presented it as a treasure, saying, "Miss, this is for you."
Where did it come from?
Lin Yuesha's little package was never short of seasonings, and she took the roasted potato as if it were a treasure.
“I’ve gotten to know Baixiang well. When I saw her roasting potatoes in the stove in the main kitchen, I asked for the biggest one.”
It's not so hot to eat now. Peel off the skin, dip it in sauce, and the potatoes are smooth and crumbly, and taste delicious.
"Thank you so much for our white tea."
Lin Yuesha skillfully peeled off the outer skin, dipped it in some sauce, and ate it with a satisfied expression.
When Lin Yuesha first transmigrated to Chenjia Village, life was tough for everyone, with everyone lacking food and clothing. Since there wasn't enough rice or flour at home, she especially loved eating roasted potatoes with her cousin, Chen Xiaohua.
My aunt's roasted potatoes were absolutely delicious; no one else could replicate that flavor.
It's strange, the potatoes are still the same potatoes, the cooking method is the same, but the taste is different. Lin Yuesha still misses them, she misses her relatives in the north.
After eating a large potato, Lin Yuesha was full. To feign illness, she moved around a bit and then lay back down.
Thankfully, it's getting dark, and it's almost time to rest. Hopefully, this night will be easier.
Xiaohe had been gone for almost an hour when she returned, followed by Lin Shusheng. She gave Baicha a helpless wink.
"Is Yue Sha asleep?"
Seeing no movement from inside the gauze curtains, Lin Shusheng turned to Granny Fang and angrily asked, "Your young lady is sick, don't you even know to call a doctor to come and take a look?"
"Sir, I'm innocent!"
Granny Fang protested, saying that there was a doctor in the manor, whom Qin had prepared for Old Madam Lin. She didn't know where they found this itinerant doctor, who was completely ignorant and kept spouting classical Chinese phrases. He couldn't understand a word of what he said, and in the end, he didn't even prescribe a medicine, but just told the young lady to drink more hot water.
"Our young lady drank two large bowls of hot water, thinking that sweating would help her recover faster, but who would have thought..."
Granny Fang looked at Lin Shusheng, hesitant to speak, but under Lin Shusheng's impatient gaze, she had no choice but to confess honestly, "Miss had a nightmare, she dreamed that Madam was capturing her."
What did you dream about?
Lin Shusheng's eyes flickered for a moment, then returned to normal. He asked casually, "The Qin family?"
"Yes, the lady said she couldn't breathe and asked Miss to help her. Then our Miss woke up in fright, and something seemed wrong."
Granny Fang lowered her head. If she needed to call a doctor, she always informed Madam Qin. Madam Qin was the matriarch of the Lin family, and that was the rule.
"This old servant always feels that my young lady is not ill, but possessed by an evil spirit. This old servant thinks we should invite a shaman to perform a ritual..."
Granny Fang hinted to Lin Shusheng that Lin Yuesha was possessed by an evil spirit. Sure enough, Lin Shusheng angrily cursed, "You scoundrel! Yuesha is perfectly fine in the manor. How could she be possessed? Are you trying to say that the Lin manor is haunted?"
Lin Yuesha dreamt of Qin Shi. Could it be that Qin Shi has turned into a vengeful ghost?
Lin Shusheng pondered for a moment and decided to invite a talisman to protect the house. He was not even afraid of the woman who died tragically with her heart ripped out. A mere Qin Shi could not cause any trouble while she was alive, but she could be even more powerful after she died!
