No, does she not even eat a proper meal at the Prime Minister's residence? How come she always wolfs down her food the moment I see her?
Feng'er was tired and sleepy, so Cangying handed the little prince to the nanny and served tea to Lin Qingwan.
Seeing that the Crown Prince hadn't eaten, Lin Qingwan wanted to ask but didn't feel it was inappropriate. After a moment's thought, she stepped forward and kowtowed, "Thank you, Your Highness, for finding the pharmacy owner to clear Qingwan of suspicion."
Zhao Cong remained calm and said, "As the Crown Prince, I disdain to extract confessions through torture or coercion in trivial matters within the inner quarters. Whether you can get that butcher to talk is your skill."
Lin Qingwan said, "Qingwan understands."
"Let Cangying take you there."
As she reached the door, the cold outside and the warmth behind her enveloped Lin Qingwan, and she had never been so afraid of the cold outside.

When they arrived at the place where Lin the butcher was being held, Lin Qingwan saw two servants coming out. If she wasn't mistaken, these two were the ones who had been with Gao Wei.
What exactly are Jiang Mingting's abilities that make Gao Wei willing to risk protecting him and his sister?
Lin the butcher never expected that Lin Qingwan would actually come to see him.
She used to wear cloth clothes and a wooden hairpin in Shuiyuan Town. Everyone knew that her adoptive mother treated her badly, and they could often see her washing clothes by the river even after dark.
Later, it was said that she had eloped with Mr. Ruan but was caught and brought back, and the people in the town gossiped about it. Her adoptive mother intended to sell her, but Butcher Lin did not hesitate to take out all his savings and was willing to marry her.
"Qingwan, you are so beautiful." Butcher Lin didn't recognize what her clothes were made of, but they looked expensive. However, they were not as attractive as her fair and delicate face.
He didn't regret coming here; he really wanted to take Lin Qingwan back with him.
“I heard in the capital these past few days that your birth mother and younger brother are treating you badly. Don’t stay here. I will work hard to sell pork so that you can wear such beautiful clothes every day.”
His eyes were full of sincerity.
Lin Qingwan seemed somewhat moved, and slowly squatted down. "You really want me to go back to Shuiyuan Town?"
Lin the Butcher was naive and nodded憨憨地, "I'll do anything as long as you're willing."
Lin Qingwan sighed, "But you poisoned the Crown Prince, which is a crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of your family."
"I, I'm not..." Butcher Lin wanted to say something, but then suddenly avoided her gaze.
Lin Qingwan said slowly, "Jiang Mingyun is the second daughter of the Prime Minister's family, and her brother has sided with the eldest son of the Minister's family. From the beginning, they have targeted you."
"She never intended for you to take me with her."
Lin the butcher was already terrified, and upon hearing Lin Qingwan's words, he gripped her skirt tightly, asking, "Then, what do we do?"
"The consequences of actively poisoning someone are very different from those of being instructed to do so."
