Regarding Zhihua's question, Su Ruojin patiently explained, "The Zhao family is finished. Zhao Zhangwen needs an outlet for his anger. I'm just giving him a reason. Besides, some things won't seem like a big deal if you don't say them out loud. Once you do, he'll naturally have his own answer after thinking about it carefully."
Children always resemble their parents. Even though Zhao Hongwei looks more like Sun Liniang, he still bears some resemblance to Sun Liniang's cousin.
If Zhao Zhangwen thinks about it carefully, he will realize that Su Ruojin is not lying to him.
The Zhao family's tradition of having only one son per generation was destined to end with Zhao Zhangwen.
I wonder how Zhao Jiao will react when she finds out all this.
*
When Zhao Jiao found out, she immediately fell ill.
He only wanted to ruin Su Ruojin's reputation, but he ended up destroying her family's reputation instead.
Zhao Zhangwen even wrote a letter of divorce in prison, directly divorcing Sun Liniang, and telling Zhao Jiao that Zhao Hongwei was not of Zhao family blood.
The Zhao family line has ended!
Zhao Jiao couldn't bear the blow and fainted on the spot, then developed a high fever.
Cai Fanzhou came to her residence and administered acupuncture for three days, and she finally recovered.
Zhao Jiao held Lin Wanqing's hand and said weakly, "Qing'er, now, I only have you and Yang'er left."
"Mother, don't worry, Qing'er will definitely work hard to give you a good life. Here, drink your medicine." Lin Wanqing comforted her gently, carefully feeding Zhao Jiao the medicine, her eyes flickering slightly.
She is still young and inexperienced, and she still needs Zhao Jiao's help.
After Zhao Jiao finished her medicine, she lay down and said, "Fortunately, Zhao Zhangwen was thoughtful enough not to involve your father. Now, without the support of the Zhao family, your father's future career advancement will depend on you. Qing'er, you must remember, only when the Lin family prospers will you prosper."
In the past few days, Lin Wanqing has been going to the prefect's mansion to give Zhong Rujin a massage. The young girl doesn't seem to mind this older sister who is two years older than her. Seeing this, Madam Zhong has become even more amiable towards Lin Wanqing.
"Mother, I understand. I will take good care of Miss Zhong," Lin Wanqing replied obediently.
Looking at her sensible daughter, Zhao Jiao finally felt a little better.
Thank goodness they found Qing'er. If that brat Su Ruojin were still in the manor, she would probably be driven to her death by anger.
The next day, Lin Wanqing arrived at the Zhong residence as usual and saw Zheng Mama, who was by Madam Zhong's side, standing at the gate, seemingly waiting for someone.
Lin Wanqing was overjoyed and quickly stepped forward: "Granny Zheng, thank you for waiting for me at the gate. Let's go in now, don't keep Jin'er waiting too long."
Zheng Mama was a confidante of Madam Zhong. In the past, it was always the maids who took her to Miss Zhong's room. Today, it was actually Zheng Mama who took her. Didn't that just show that Madam Zhong valued her even more?
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Zheng Mama's face as she gave Lin Wanqing a slight bow: "Miss Lin, please wait a little longer. We'll go in together once Doctor Su arrives. If Miss Lin is in a hurry, this old servant can have a maid take you in first."
Lin Wanqing was taken aback; Granny Zheng wasn't waiting for her.
Dr. Su?
Which Dr. Su? Could it be the one she's thinking of?
At this moment, a carriage stopped in front of the Zhong residence.
Su Ruojin carried a small box and got off the carriage.
Granny Zheng's face lit up with joy, and she went to greet him: "Doctor Su, you've arrived. Madam is already waiting."
Just as Su Ruojin was about to bow, she was stopped by Zheng Mama: "No, no, Doctor Su, please come in."
Doctor Su was someone the master had repeatedly instructed to treat with respect, so how could Granny Zheng dare to be negligent?
Otherwise, why would she, the lady's confidante, need to come out specifically to greet them?
