Zhao Jiao was so shocked by what Lin Wanqing said that she was speechless.
If this is true, it means Qing'er has completely offended the prefect, so how can Lin Zhengshan be promoted?
Zhao Jiao didn't dare to make a decision either, so she sent someone to bring Lin Zhengshan back. The two of them discussed it and realized that there was really no better way than what Lin Wanqing had suggested.
With Qing'er gone, the Zhong family couldn't say anything more.
Zhao Jiao quickly prepared travel expenses for Lin Wanqing: "Qing'er, let Cuiju and Zhang Mama accompany you, so they can take care of you on the way."
After packing up, Lin Wanqing left Yanyang overnight and headed to the capital.
The next day, when Madam Zhong saw that her daughter's dark spots remained unchanged after five days of medicine, she hurriedly sent someone to find Lin Wanqing, only to learn that she had already gone to the capital to prepare for the entrance exam of Ruien Academy. She was so angry that she didn't know what to say for a moment.
Whether Lin Wanqing's trip to the capital was genuine or not, the fact that she could abandon her patients and simply leave shows she's hardly a kind person.
Madam Zhong deeply regretted not trusting her initial judgment of Lin Wanqing's character, and was once again fooled by her.
Despite Lin Wanqing's massages over this period of time, Jin'er's legs haven't shown much improvement.
Lin Wanqing is nothing but a fame-seeker; she has no medical skills whatsoever.
When Zhongli learned of this, his eyes were filled with anger.
Okay, very good!
Lin Zhengshan, your daughter dared to play such a trick on my daughter. She ran away, so you'll have to bear the consequences!
Regarding the Zhao family's affairs, Zhongli hadn't held Lin Zhengshan accountable before, considering Lin Wanqing's diligent care for Jin'er.
After all, the Zhao family also paid the price, and Lin Zhengshan was not guilty.
But now it seems that Lin Zhengshan's character is probably not much better, given that he raised such a daughter.
Zhongli took out the recommendation letter he had written earlier, burned it over the candle flame, and then picked up his pen to rewrite it:
“Lin Zhengshan, the prefect of Yanyang, is mediocre and indulges his brother-in-law in running rampant in Yanyang. He is not capable of shouldering great responsibilities. It is recommended that he be demoted to the position of county magistrate.”
After writing it, Zhongli put it in an envelope and handed it to the steward: "Send it to the Ministry of Personnel."
"Yes, sir."
Knowing they were in the wrong, Lin Zhengshan and Zhao Jiao went to the prefect's residence with generous gifts for several days in a row to request an audience, but the gatekeeper wouldn't even let them in.
Lin Zhengshan thought that he would wait until the prefect's anger subsided before he went to apologize.
Qing'er did examine Miss Zhong and prescribed medicine, but the illness wasn't cured, so you can't blame Qing'er.
Which doctor in the world would dare to guarantee that they can cure all diseases? Even the imperial physicians of the Imperial Medical Academy wouldn't dare to say such a thing.
As a result, instead of getting rid of Prefect Zhong's anger, Lin Zhengshan received a demotion order from the Ministry of Personnel, leaving him completely stunned.
He had been planning to be promoted to prefect, but unexpectedly he was demoted to county magistrate overnight.
Zhao Jiao felt a little dizzy. In that instant, she felt a pang of regret. If she hadn't brought Lin Wanqing back, would her husband have been promoted to prefect, and she would have become the prefect's wife?
However, this idea only flashed through their minds, and now Lin Zhengshan and Zhao Jiao are pinning their hopes on Lin Wanqing.
If Qing'er can get into Rui En Academy, there is still a chance for things to turn around.
Lin Wanqing ran away, but Zhong Rujin's illness still needs to be treated.
Madam Zhong also sent someone to invite Cai Fanzhou and Su Ruojin, thinking that both of them were good at medicine and it would be better to have them come and take a look.
