When the two arrived at Prince Ning's Mansion, Lin Wanyin and Bai Sulian were already waiting anxiously.
When they saw Mr. Zhou coming, they all came forward to greet him as if they had found a backbone.
Mr. Zhou went in, took Su Shunci's pulse, gave her acupuncture, and prescribed some medicine, and Su Shunci's fever finally subsided.
Lin Wuchen, who was guarding outside, let out a long breath, and his tense expression finally relaxed.
Soon, Lin Wanyin and Shen Yue came out.
Lin Wuchen stepped forward and asked, "How is Ah Ci? Is he okay?"
Lin Wanyin's eyes were filled with weariness as she said, "It's all right now. Your Aunt Lian is here to watch over you. You should go back soon."
Lin Wuchen didn't want to go back. Even if he couldn't go in, he wanted to wait outside.
But the rules and etiquette were there, so he had no choice but to leave.
Before leaving, he instructed Shen Yue, "Sister-in-law, if there is anything wrong with Ah Ci, please send someone to inform me."
Shen Yue nodded, "Don't worry, third cousin. You've been busy all morning, so go back and rest."
After watching Lin Wuchen leave, Shen Yue withdrew her surprised gaze. She always felt that her third cousin was too concerned about her fourth sister.
But she didn't think about it any more. They had been doing business together for many years, so it was normal for them to care about each other.
Besides, my third cousin is about to get engaged, and his future wives have already visited Prince Ning’s mansion.
Shen Yue didn't know that Lin Wuchen went to settle this marriage matter after leaving Prince Ning's Mansion.
Lin Wuchen got on the carriage and sneered. If what Mr. Zhou said was correct, then what happened back then would be very interesting.
He absolutely believed in Mr. Zhou's medical skills, so in fact he did nothing back then.
Bai Youxin...screw her bullshit marriage.
He didn't go directly to the Bai family's house, but returned to the Lin's Trading Company first. There were some things he had to investigate thoroughly before he could take action.
But just as they entered the yard of Lin's Trading Company and the carriage had not yet stopped, they heard Xue Yuan's voice coming from outside the carriage.
"Brother Lin, you are finally back. How is my business going?"
Lin Wuchen got off the carriage and said bluntly: "You two are not suitable. You should look for other girls."
After saying that, he ignored Xue Yuan and went straight to the study.
Xue Yuan was confused and trotted behind him, "Brother Lin, what's going on? Tell me. Why is it inappropriate?"
Lin Wuchen stopped, turned around and said, "Because I like her, I want to marry her as the wife of the Third Young Master of the Lin family."
Xue Yuan walked too fast and bumped into Lin Wuchen.
After hearing Lin Wuchen's words, he subconsciously took two steps back, "What did you say? Aren't you going to get engaged to Miss Bai? Why are you..."
Lin Wuchen looked at Xue Yuan inquiringly, "How did you know I was getting engaged to Miss Bai?"
Xue Yuanjian accidentally said it, so he explained: "Bai Shaodong told me, don't blame her, we were just talking about that."
Lin Wuchen recalled the private conversation between Bai Youxin and Xue Yuan that day and asked, "What were you talking about? How could you possibly talk about our marriage?"
He thought of Ah Ci's question again, yes, how could it be such a coincidence?
"You want to marry Ah Ci because of what Bai Youxin said. What did she say?"
The first sentence is not a question, but a firm tone.
If he did nothing in Yunzhou Prefecture at that time, then Bai Youxin came to Beijing this time specifically to plot against him.
So it was not surprising for her to see him protecting Ah Ci and tampering with Ah Ci's marriage behind her back.
Xue Yuan didn't expect Lin Wuchen to point it out directly. If he kept it a secret any longer, he was afraid that things would get awkward when Lin Wuchen found out the truth.
He had a good understanding of Lin Wuchen's temperament. The person the Lin family couldn't afford to offend the most was the Third Young Master, who appeared gentle but was actually ruthless.
Xue Yuan had no choice but to tell the story of that day, but it was 70% true and 30% false. He did not mention his intention to use the power behind Su Shunci.
Bai Youxin only said a lot of good things about Su Shunci, and he really had a good impression of her, so he wanted to go to Prince Ning's Mansion to propose marriage.
After saying that, he defended Bai Youxin and said, "Don't blame Bai Shaodong. She is doing this for the good of the Lin family."
He didn't hide the reason Bai Youxin gave for the matchmaking. He told Lin Wuchen everything Bai Youxin had explained that day.
Lin Wuchen was silent for a long while after hearing this. After a long while, he patted Xue Yuan on the shoulder and said, "I will give you an explanation on this matter, but forget about marrying into the Ning Palace."
"Don't mention our conversation today to Bai Youxin."
Although Xue Yuan didn't understand what was going on, he didn't ask any more questions and agreed with Lin Wuchen's words.
After Xue Yuan left, Lin Wuchen entered the study and called in his trusted confidant Lin Jin.
"What instructions does the Third Young Master have?" Lin Jin asked as he entered the room and bowed.
Lin Wuchen's expression was cold and cruel. He ordered in a deep voice, "Find a way to tie up the maid named Ju'er from the Bai family. I want to ask her something."
Lin Jin was stunned. He knew that the Third Young Master and the Bai family were planning a marriage. How could the marriage be concluded if he kidnapped someone else's maid at this time?
Lin Wuchen's sinister gaze fell on Lin Jin, who shuddered instantly. "Yes, I'll go right away."
The Third Young Master naturally has his own reasons for doing things, and it is not his turn to interrupt.
After Lin Jin left, Lin Wuchen didn't leave the study room. No one knew what he was thinking about.
In the evening, Lin Jin knocked on the door and walked in. "Third Young Master, the person has been brought back and is locked up in the woodshed."
Upon hearing this, Lin Wuchen stood up and walked towards the woodshed without saying a word.
When I pushed the door open, Juer was tied to a chair in the woodshed with a black cloth covering her head.
Lin Jin took off the black cloth on Juer's head and took out the rag stuffed in her mouth.
Ju'er was so frightened that her face turned pale. The moment she saw Lin Wuchen, she immediately shouted, "Third Young Master Lin, are you here to save me?"
She thought she was captured, and the young lady asked the third young master of the Lin family to rescue her.
Lin Wuchen glanced at Juer, then took out a short knife in his hand.
The tip of the knife was placed directly on Juer's throat and tapped gently.
"I ask, you tell. If you say anything wrong, my knife will go in."
At this moment, Lin Wuchen no longer looked like a gentle gentleman. His face was tense and his eyes were frighteningly cold.
Juer was so scared that she didn't dare to breathe hard, for fear that she would bump into the knife.
She also realized that the person who had captured her was the third young master of the Lin family.
Ju'er unconsciously recalled what happened in Yunzhou Prefecture that year. Her legs suddenly began to tremble. The Third Young Master Lin in front of her made her feel frightened.
Lin Wuchen didn't care whether she was afraid or not. What he wanted was to know the truth as soon as possible.
The reason why Bai Youxin was not tied up was because Bai Youxin was not as easy to interrogate as Juer.
"Back in Yunzhou Prefecture, nothing actually happened between me and your young lady, right?"
When Lin Wuchen asked the question, he exerted a little force on the knife in his hand.
Juer had never encountered such a thing before, and she nodded repeatedly in fear.
"Yes, nothing happened between you that day. Our lady...she...she is still a virgin."
