Recently, something new happened in Beijing.
The old lady of the Duke of England's mansion became even more seriously ill after drinking the miracle doctor's medicine, and she died within a few days.
The Duke of England reported the miracle doctor to the government. Qin paced anxiously in the room, mainly because she was still counting on the miracle doctor's Xu Zidan. She wanted to go to the government office to find out the situation and then see if she could ask the princess to rescue the person.
That was her son's hope. If he died, she would probably never have a grandson in her life.
Second Aunt Lin and Third Aunt Lin also heard the news. Seeing Qin leaving, they both said they wanted to go with her.
The Shuntian prefect held a public trial, and many common people and servants from various families who came to inquire about the news gathered. Qin used silver to clear the way and finally stood in a place where she could see clearly.
The miracle doctor was in a rather miserable state at the moment, no longer the immortal and otherworldly master he had been when he first met him at the Lin residence.
The miracle doctor was crying out that he was innocent, but his apprentice could not bear the torture and confessed that the miracle doctor was just a barefoot doctor in a small mountain village. Because he had met the real miracle doctor once, he came up with the idea of disguising himself.
Qin in the crowd anxiously asked loudly: "Where is the real miracle doctor?"
The real miracle doctor died of old age in that small mountain village half a month later, so the people sent by Qin found this disguised one.
Qin staggered, and Second Aunt Lin and Third Aunt Lin hurried to support her. They were secretly happy, thinking that their daily prayers seemed to be working.
The two pretended to appease him, "Sister-in-law, you are not the only one who has been deceived. Even the old man from the Duke's Mansion dared to deceive us. Let's be more at ease."
Qin was unwilling to give in: "Then the Xu Zi Dan you mentioned before was also a lie."
The fake miracle doctor shrank his neck and said nothing.
His apprentice answered for him, "It's just a potent aphrodisiac with tonic added. We're afraid you'll find out, so we say there's only one pill a year. If we could keep swindling you for a few years, we'd have run away long ago if it hadn't worked."
When Qin heard this, she felt her scalp tingling, a fishy and sweet taste in her throat, and she spat out a mouthful of blood.
Second Aunt Lin and Third Aunt Lin brought Qin back to the Lin family, and the news quickly spread in the capital.
Along the way, the people were talking about it.
"What a shame for the Lin family's huge fortune. Even if he marries the princess, it will still fall into the hands of his heir in the future."
"I heard that the eldest lady of the Lin family has always believed in this miracle doctor. It's a pity that the Lin family doesn't have this blessing. Although I have no money, I have a son." A small vendor said casually while chatting with a customer.
"No matter how many good deeds the Lin family has done over the years, it seems they are destined to be extinct."
Qin, who was in the carriage, listened to the noises coming from the roadside and felt even more sad. She bit her lower lip tightly. Although the people's words were unpleasant, they were indeed the truth. She could not deceive herself anymore.
Lin Hancheng and Dan Ruo went to visit Qin Shi immediately after they found out. Qin Shi looked pale and spoke bitterly:
"I was confused and missed the chance to see the real miracle doctor, so I sent back a fake one. But the real miracle doctor is dead, so I'm afraid it's useless to cure Hancheng.
The Lin family is sorry for the princess, but life must go on. I'm afraid the young men we've trained before are a bit older and won't be able to take good care of the princess in the future. It would be better if the princess adopted a baby and raised him from childhood. He'd naturally develop a motherly bond with the princess and be more attentive to her.
Lin Hancheng looked at Dan Ruo cautiously, but it was still wishful thinking after all.
Danruo felt very distressed when she saw that he looked like a wounded big dog.
He held Qin and Lin Hancheng's hands together and comforted them.
"It's too early to adopt a baby now. Hancheng and I are still young. Besides, the abbot of Huguo Temple has always said that I am blessed. Why not wait a little longer?"
In fact, she is already pregnant, but the time is too short and it is impossible to tell by taking her pulse in the past few days. We still have to wait for a while.
Although Lin Hancheng and Qin agreed on the surface, they actually didn't quite believe it. When they first found out, the Lin family had invited many doctors, but they all said that the chances of success were almost slim.
After Qin recovered from her illness, she asked the second and third wives to bring their children under one year old to her so that she could check them out first.
The second and third wives were overjoyed.
--
Lin Yong was beaten with a stick and kicked out of the Lin Mansion. Su Rouer took him back to her mother's home, the Su family.
However, the Su family could not accept Su Rouer becoming Lin Yong's concubine, and the two of them offended the princess together, so they drove her out directly.
Su Rouer secretly resented that her father had been coaxed by her stepmother and had long forgotten about her and her sister.
She left the Su Mansion and went to the palace alone to avenge her sister, but the Su family just treated her as missing and ignored her.
Fortunately, her sister had hidden some silver for her under a tree in the deserted yard of the Su family before entering the palace. She took the silver in the dark and rented an inn with Lin Yong.
But there were many people watching the fun at the Lin Mansion that day, and people often came to mock her, so she had to rent a small courtyard.
Lin Yong learned that he was abandoned by his family and Su Rouer was the only one who saved him with great effort. He wanted to blame Su Rouer for making him miss the princess, but now he was lying in bed and still needed Su Rouer's care, so he could only lower his head and express his love for her.
During this period, he delivered letters to his parents again and again. He didn't believe that his parents would not care about family affection at all.
That day, while Su Rouer was taking care of him, she retched loudly. Lin Yong thought she was disgusted by the odor of lying in bed all day. He didn't have time to pretend and his face turned black.
Su Rouer put her hand on her belly and said, "Brother Yong, my period hasn't come yet. I'm afraid I'm pregnant with your child."
Lin Yong was surprised, "Then tell my parents quickly, they love children." He is his parents' only son, and having a grandson is always a happy thing.
Su Rouer nodded. After Lin Yong's parents received the letter, they went to discuss it with Uncle Lin.
Fourth Uncle Lin had not allowed them to take care of Lin Yong before, so they did not dare to help him secretly. Now that Qin had relented, the children of the second and third rooms were sent to Qin's care. Now that their fourth room also had good news, could they try again? After all, they had the closest relationship with Lin Hancheng.
Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin had been keeping a low profile in the mansion for many days. This time they knocked on Qin's door, and Qin was surprised.
After learning the purpose of the two people's visit, they were immediately driven out.
Don't tell me about blood ties. No matter how close we are, he's still not her grandson. She just wants to please the princess.
How dare the Fourth House ask the princess to raise Lin Yong and Su Rouer's child?
Being chased out by the maid waving a broom, Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin exchanged a look of reluctance. They had to keep Lin Yong's child first and then take things one step at a time.
