"Dr. Su, this is..." Just as Granny Zheng was about to introduce Lin Wanqing to Su Ruojin, Su Ruojin smiled slightly: "Granny Zheng, we know each other. Miss Lin, it's nice to see you again."
Lin Wanqing clenched the handkerchief in her hand and forced a smile: "Dr. Su."
She had been keeping in mind what her master had told her, and had originally planned to give Miss Zhong massages for a while, and if it was effective, then bring up the matter of treating Madam Zhong.
I didn't expect Su Ruojin to arrive at the prefect's residence so quickly.
"You two know each other? That's wonderful! Come, come, please come inside." Seeing that the two knew each other, Granny Zheng didn't say anything more and led them into the mansion.
Before she could even meet Madam Zhong, someone escorted Lin Wanqing to Miss Zhong's room.
Zhong Rujin clearly sensed that Lin Wanqing was somewhat distracted during her massage today, and asked with concern, "Sister Lin, are you tired? If you are, let's call it a day."
Lin Wanqing then realized that she had lost her composure and quickly adjusted her movements: "No, no, I just happened to see Doctor Su coming to see the madam when I arrived. I remembered that a few days ago, Doctor Su was sued in court for poisoning people, so I was distracted. I hope Jin'er will not blame me."
Zhong Rujin had always been kept in seclusion, and Prefect Zhong would never mention the matters in court to his daughter, so she naturally knew nothing about it.
Startled by the mention of poison, Zhong Rujin panicked and hurriedly called out, "Ruyi, Ruyi!"
A maidservant hurried over: "Miss, what can I do for you?"
"Quickly, go and call Mother over. Tell her I have an urgent matter to attend to," Zhong Rujin said anxiously.
Ruyi dared not delay and quickly walked out.
A glint of triumph flashed in Lin Wanqing's eyes, then she lowered her head and said while massaging, "Sister Jin'er, I only heard about this from others, and I don't know the specifics."
"No matter what, I have to talk to my mother about this."
Soon, Madam Zhong arrived. She only had one daughter, Jin'er, so how could she not be anxious when her daughter had an emergency?
"Jin'er, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" As soon as Madam Zhong entered the room, she quickly went to Zhong Rujin's side, touched her forehead, and was afraid that she had a fever.
“Mother, I’m fine. Did you get a different doctor to treat your health?” Zhong Rujin asked.
"Yes, your father found her for your mother. She just arrived at the manor today and is still in your mother's room. What's wrong?" Madam Zhong was a little puzzled. She hadn't even exchanged a few words with Su Ruojin before her daughter called her over.
"Mother, I heard that doctor has poisoned people before. I'm a little scared. Can you let her go?" Zhong Rujin's face was a little pale.
Madam Zhong was taken aback: "Who told you that?"
"It was Sister Lin who told me," Zhong Rujin said frankly.
Lin Wanqing quickly stopped what she was doing, stood up and said, "Madam Zhong, I only heard it from someone else. I just chatted with Jin'er casually, and I don't know the specifics."
Madam Zhong glanced at Lin Wanqing indifferently: "Miss Lin, don't tell Jin'er about things you've heard on the sidelines in the future."
"Yes, Madam Zhong, Wanqing understands." Lin Wanqing replied with her head bowed.
She never expected to drive Su Ruojin away based on this alone, but once the seed of doubt is planted, it will eventually sprout.
Who wouldn't be afraid of a doctor who can poison people?
Madam Zhong gently patted her daughter's head: "It's alright, Jin'er. Doctor Su's medical skills are superb, and your father trusts her a lot. Don't you trust your father?"
Her father was the person Zhong Rujin admired most, the person her father trusted, so Zhong Rujin didn't say anything: "Mother, I understand."
Madam Zhong returned to her room: "I'm sorry, Dr. Su, my daughter had something to attend to and was delayed."
Su Ruojin didn't mind: "It's alright, Madam Zhong, let me take your pulse first."
She was willing to treat Madam Zhong's health in order to repay Lord Zhong's kindness.
When Madam Zhong saw Su Ruojin's slightly furrowed brows after taking her pulse, she sighed inwardly. As expected, it still wouldn't work.
