He felt that there were plenty of talented and ambitious people in the world, and his master didn't need to focus all his energy on this woman, especially since she was someone they couldn't afford to offend.
He could feel that He Jiuniang had held back when she slapped him, otherwise he might have lost his life.
He was able to serve his master, so he could naturally be considered a master himself, but he was powerless against this woman. He was wary of her from the bottom of his heart.
"What do you know? The tougher she is, the more valuable she will become after she successfully submits!"
Lin Yiping snorted coldly: "Heh, I'd like to see how she's going to fight me when she has no powerful backing!"
The guard kept his head down and didn't speak; his master meant he wouldn't turn back until he hit a brick wall.
If he didn't know that his master was decisive in serious matters, he would have seriously suspected that his master had taken a liking to that widow.
After all, that widow was indeed quite beautiful...
"Go find Gao Ting and ask him to find a way to stop He Jiu Niang from buying the house and shops. With the Gao family's influence in Jingzhou City, it shouldn't be a problem."
He's trying to exert external pressure. Although he doesn't dare to touch her family for the time being, he can make it impossible for her to move an inch in Jingzhou City.
"yes."
The guard left, clutching his aching chest. Although he felt that his master's insistence was not a good thing, he was just a servant and had to do as he was told.
Coincidentally, when the guards went to the Gao family to find Gao Ting, Madam Gao happened to be there as well. When she heard that they were going to deal with Doctor He, she was completely stunned.
Doctor He is just a woman, how could she have offended someone from the powerful Prince Jing?
After the guards left, Madam Gao asked, "Master, how did Doctor He offend that Young Master Lin?"
Gao Ting shook his head: "I don't know. Just a few days ago, when Young Master Lin came to visit, he happened to see Doctor He leaving my house and asked me who I was."
Gao Ting was also puzzled by this matter. After all, it was clear that Young Master Lin did not know Doctor He at the time. How could they have become enemies in just three or four days?
"In my opinion, this young master Lin has most likely taken a liking to Doctor He. I heard that Doctor He's husband has passed away, and she has to bring her child with her when she goes out to see patients. It's quite pitiful. And this young master Lin is making things difficult for her. It's really a sin! I don't think this young master Lin is a good person. Master, you should be careful!"
These past few days, Dr. He has been coming over every morning to give her daughter acupuncture. Her daughter has also told her privately that, following Dr. He's method, her hands and feet are not as cold as before, and her abdomen feels warm. This shows that Dr. He's medical skills are excellent.
In addition, the two- or three-year-old child would come along every time. At first, she was indeed a little unhappy, but seeing how well-behaved the child was and how sensible he was at such a young age, she, as a mother herself, immediately felt pity and thought that it was really not easy for a widow to raise a child. So she would have the servants prepare some food that the child could eat in advance, and give it to the child to eat when he came.
With this back and forth, Madam Gao's heart naturally leaned towards He Jiu Niang's side, and her impression of Lin Yiping began to turn sour.
"You're just a woman, don't concern yourself with those things!"
Gao Ting rebuked her somewhat displeasedly, but Madam Gao was not afraid and continued, "Master, I am only doing this for the good of our family. We are now on Prince Chen's territory. If you were to pledge allegiance to Prince Jing, wouldn't our family become the disloyal and unjust villains?"
What nonsense are you spouting?
Gao Ting was somewhat displeased. How had he become a disloyal and unjust villain?
"I only wanted to ask His Highness Prince Jing to arrange a good position for my eldest son. How is that disloyal and unjust? I haven't done anything to wrong His Highness Prince Chen!"
“That may be true, but once our family gets on Prince Jing’s ship, can we get away easily? Master, you’ve been wise all your life, you can’t be foolish for once! I’ve long heard that among the princes, only Prince Chen is working for the people. This Young Master Lin is just one of Prince Jing’s men. He came to Jingzhou City and he’s already trying to abduct women. How can we expect him to get a good position for our eldest son?”
Madam Gao snorted coldly, looking down on Young Master Lin's behavior even more.
Gao Ting thought about it and realized that it made some sense...
"But I've already agreed to this, so it's not easy to refuse again!"
"Don't worry, sir, watch me!"
So, the next day when He Jiuniang went to the Gao family to give acupuncture to Miss Gao, Madam Gao asked to see her alone. There were no servants around. He Jiuniang thought that the lady wanted to tell her something, but to her surprise, she asked, "Doctor He, has that masked young master Lin taken a fancy to you?"
"ah?"
He Jiuniang was stunned by her question and didn't know how to answer it for a moment.
He did indeed take a liking to her, but not in the way Madam Gao described.
Madam Gao sighed with great remorse and said, "To be honest, this is all our fault. The other day you came to see Xi'er, and Young Master Lin, who was visiting our house, saw you. That's how you got into all this trouble. Young Master Lin has powerful connections, and even our Gao family doesn't dare to offend him easily. He knows you want to buy a house, so he asked my husband to find a way to make things difficult for you."
He Jiuniang: ? ? ? Is that so?
Madam Gao continued, "I am grateful to Doctor He for treating my Xi'er, but I dare not offend him. That's why I'm telling you this in private. If you're not in a hurry, then don't buy the house for now. I don't think that young master Lin will stay here forever. After he leaves, I'll personally choose a place for you, how about that?"
He Jiuniang then realized that it was a reminder of this matter, and she felt a greater liking for this interesting Madam Gao.
At least they didn't directly make things difficult for her just because they were powerful.
"Thank you for the reminder, Madam. I will keep it in mind."
After leaving the Gao family, He Jiuniang went to Song Chi to tell him that she didn't need to buy a house for the time being. Song Chi thought that He Jiuniang was unhappy because he hadn't found a suitable house yet, and he was quite anxious.
He Jiuniang explained, "Dr. Song, you've misunderstood. I just haven't discussed the house purchase with my family yet. It would be better if I went back and discussed it before making a decision."
Song Chi was relieved and said with a smile, "Dr. He is right. I'll keep an eye on things for you first, and I can take you to see a doctor once you're sure."
Otherwise, it would be a waste of the prescription He Jiuniang gave him.
He Jiuniang thought about it and realized that this wouldn't have any impact, and might even be able to deceive Lin Yiping, so the matter was settled.
Lin Yiping was still waiting for good news from the Gao family. Three days later, a guard rushed over to report. Before he could even speak, Lin Yiping asked excitedly, "It's been three days. Has that woman given in yet?"
