Chapter 355: Breaking off the Engagement
Meanwhile, Zhao Yi finished dealing with urgent correspondence in the study and pressed his eyebrows: "Jiang Chao, bring over the gift from Master Lin."
Jiang Chao quickly placed the wooden box in front of Zhao Yi.
Zhao Yi opened the box and saw that it contained medicines for nourishing the kidneys and strengthening yang, such as deer antler, Morinda officinalis, and Cynomorium songaricum.
There is actually a prescription attached below.
Zhao Yi became a doctor after suffering from illness for a long time and understood some of the tricks.
Jiang Chao came over and read out the prescription: "Secret recipe for having a child."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly opened his eyes wide, closed his mouth, and turned to look at Zhao Yi in panic, afraid that he had said something wrong and angered his master.
But Zhao Yi glanced at the prescription lightly and put it casually on the desk without even raising his eyebrows, looking calm and composed.
"Master, this subordinate..."
"That's fine."
When Zhao Yi was weak and sickly, he had received more embarrassing items than this and heard many unpleasant words.
He didn't care then, let alone now.
It’s enough for him to know whether it’s possible or not, whether he can have the baby or not.
Jiang Chao pointed at the medicine, then at the letter: "Then...what should we do with these?"
Zhao Yi pondered for a moment, picked up a pen, wrote a letter, let the ink dry, put it in an envelope, and placed it in front of Jiang Chao.
"Take this letter to Old Madam Lin."
"I will send it to the Lin Mansion right away."
Jiang Chao was angry with the Lin family and rushed to the Lin Mansion as fast as he could.
-
At the Lin Mansion, while Old Lady Lin was waiting for Lin Qinian, she received a letter from Zhao Yi first.
Old Mrs. Lin thought of the rumors outside, took out a piece of letter paper, and quickly scanned the contents of the letter.
The more she looked down, the gloomier Mrs. Lin's face became, and in the end, her hands were shaking with anger.
"This is too much, it's simply too much!"
In the letter, Zhao Yi thanked Lin Qinian for sharing a secret recipe for fertility and high-quality kidney-tonifying and yang-strengthening medicine. He also mentioned that he had a cousin who was a miracle doctor, and if Lin Qinian had urgent needs, he could consult his cousin. If he found a more effective and effective prescription, he would be happy to give it to him.
Zhao Yi killed her son one foot, and then came to care about her family's offspring issue. It was clearly a satire that their Lin family would be extinct!
As a prince, he was so narrow-minded and vindictive, but he was so shameless that he wrote private words that were not suitable for public speaking in a letter to her, his elder.
Old Mrs. Lin breathed rapidly, tore the letter in her hand into pieces, and threw it into the stove to burn.
"Grandma, calm down and take care of yourself." Madam Sun patted Grandma Lin's back to soothe her. "The court doctor said you shouldn't get too excited or too angry."
"Prince Guangling cursed our Lin family to be extinct, completely disregarding his dignity." Old Madam Lin was furious and said with gritted teeth, "How could you share the secret recipe for fertility with Nian'er, who hasn't even married yet?"
"Prince Guangling is so bullying! The master only has two concubines, and the daughter of the Jiang family hasn't even married yet, so he won't have any children at all." Mother Sun echoed, "Isn't this nonsense?"
When Mrs. Lin heard what Mrs. Sun said, her expression suddenly changed.
Lin Qinian did not marry, but had two maids.
Could it be that because the concubine did not take the contraceptive soup and there was no good news, Lin Qinian realized that he could not conceive a child, so he secretly sought medical advice and found a secret recipe for having a child?
Old Mrs. Lin thought of the gift Lin Qinian gave to Zhao Yi, and then Zhao Yi wrote this letter and sent it to her.
Could it be that Lin Qinian really gave these two things to Zhao Yi?
Thinking of this, Old Lady Lin could no longer sit still and ordered Madam Sun, "Go and get the court doctor."
Regardless of whether Lin Qinian can have children or not, she will only be completely relieved after asking the court doctor for a diagnosis.
After all, the Lin family only has Lin Qinian as its sole legitimate descendant.
Mother Sun did not dare to delay and hurried to call the palace doctor.
The court physician came to Kangning Hospital carrying a medicine box, and Lin Qinian arrived at the end of the year.
As soon as Lin Qinian entered the house, he sat down beside Old Madam Lin, shaking her arm with both hands, and recounting his grievances: "Grandfather, you must judge for your grandson. I went to test the Prince of Guangling under the pretext of courtesy today, but he looked down on me and locked me out. Those blind people actually said that I knelt and kowtowed to him. Isn't this a crime? He is the murderer of my father. How could I possibly show him any kindness?"
Old Madam Lin liked Lin Qinian the most and knew the character of her beloved grandson very well.
When she saw Lin Qinian saying this, she rolled her eyes and knew that his words were false.
If Lin Qinian was right, he would never come to her to complain.
Old Lady Lin saw that Lin Qinian had changed his robes, which showed that his robes were dirty, so he had just changed them.
After this analysis, Mrs. Lin knew the rumors outside and estimated that they were almost correct.
Lin Qinian knelt down and kowtowed to Zhao Yi.
But for some unknown reason, it was rumored that Lin Qinian was trying to show his goodwill to Zhao Yi.
Madam Lin asked, "What gift did you give him?"
Lin Qinian starts talking nonsense as soon as he opens his mouth.
Madam Lin added, "Prince Guangling sent me a letter."
Lin Qinian's shoulders slumped, and he stammered, "I wanted to send tea to Prince Guangling, but my servant made a mistake and put those things in..."
At this point, he muttered, "Prince Guangling has been married for almost a year, and he still has no children. Isn't this a good gift?"
When Mrs. Lin heard this, she knew it was true.
She suppressed her emotions and said calmly, "I'm not feeling well today, so I asked the court doctor to take my pulse. You've come just in time, so please let the court doctor take your pulse."
Lin Qinian quickly asked, "Grandfather, how is your health?"
Madam Lin patted his head and said, "Grandmother is in good health, but she is tired from going to the palace today." After saying this, she turned to the court physician and said, "Please take Nian'er's pulse."
The court physician took out the pulse pillow and motioned Lin Qinian to roll up his sleeves.
Lin Qinian did not resist. He rolled up his sleeves to his elbows and placed his wrists on the pulse pillow.
The court doctor carefully took Lin Qinian's pulse, his expression relaxed, and he said to Madam Lin, "Madam, the master is in good health."
Mrs. Lin's heart was finally at ease. She was just happy to be able to have a baby.
The Lin family will never be extinct.
Then, she thought of Zhao Yi's letter, her eyes filled with coldness: "I will go to the Jiang family in person tomorrow and ask my in-laws for help."
Old Madam Lin could not tolerate Zhao Yi and was unwilling to take things slowly, so she wanted to cut the Gordian knot.
Because Mr. Jiang was the director of the Imperial Observatory, he was in charge of astronomy, observing celestial phenomena, and surveying the country's destiny.
Jiang Jianzheng correctly predicted several major events that happened in Northern Qi.
Therefore, he was particularly valued by the Emperor of Northern Qi.
If Jiang Jianzheng implied that Zhao Yi would affect the country's destiny, then no matter how useful he was, the Northern Qi capital would not tolerate Zhao Yi.
At this time, the maid came in hurriedly: "Old lady, it's bad, I don't know what the Jiang family heard about it and came to cancel the engagement."
