Qi Xiao felt extremely happy and carefree.
Since Lin Wanyue is no threat, he can go all out and slowly crush the Lin family members one by one.
Moreover, when he returned to the Lin family to pay his respects to Lin Zhongyuan, he had an unexpected gain.
He had only thought about slowly killing the Lin family members, killing Lin Wanyue, and eliminating these people who stood in his way. He didn't have any other ideas. But when he returned to the Lin family, he actually met a manager from the Lu family's rice shop.
However, the Lu family rice shop has now been renamed the Lin family rice shop, and it is still the largest rice shop in the entire capital.
After all, from high-ranking officials to ordinary people, almost everyone needs to eat rice, which is an unavoidable expense.
The thought of the mountains of gold and silver that the Lin family's rice shop had earned filled Qi Xiao with immense excitement, and he longed to hold all that silver in his arms.
As long as the Lin family members are dead, he will have a way to get his hands on the rice shop!
Qi Xiao turned around and made an arrangement, giving all the instructions.
...
That evening, the Lin family
The Lin family members saw off all the civil and military officials who came to pay their respects. The officials in the court all knew about the relationship between the Lin family and His Majesty the Regent. There were even rumors that His Majesty came to pay his respects to the eldest son of the Lin family as soon as he finished the morning court session.
Whether they believed it or not, they all came running over.
The Lin family may not remember who came to pay their respects to the eldest son of the Lin family, but they will definitely remember who didn't come.
Now that the mourners have finally left, the Lin family's servants have closed the door.
Xuefu, with her eyes red and swollen, told them to go home and rest early, and that her family could stay in front of the mourning hall.
The servant obediently agreed, offered a few words of advice, and then left.
As soon as the outsiders left, the Lin family rubbed their eyes, and the grief-stricken expressions on their faces completely changed.
Lin Weiming rushed over first and carried his eldest son out of the coffin. Lin Wanyue knelt beside him and reached out to take a jade bead out of Lin Zhongyuan's mouth.
"Let Zhongyuan have some water?" Liu Junlan poured a glass of warm water with honey and brought it to Lin Zhongyuan's lips.
Lin Zhongyuan's eyes remained closed, as if he were dead, but the Lin family all knew that this was just an act to deceive bad people.
Following the same method used to administer medicine, Liu Junlan and Xue Fu, mother and daughter-in-law, fed Lin Zhongyuan water again.
"Cough cough cough." Lin Zhongyuan coughed for a while before finally waking up. His face was no longer as pale as a dead man's, but had more color and rosiness.
"Father, Mother, Grandmother, Sister." Lin Zhongyuan woke up with clear eyes, stretched his neck, and said with a smile, "I feel so heavy. I slept for two days, but I feel more energetic."
No sooner had he finished speaking than his stomach began to rumble.
Lin Zheyun laughed without any politeness and said, "Big brother, are you starving? What do you want to eat? I'll have Mom make it for you!"
"Second brother, I thought you wanted to cook for eldest brother! You actually want mother to cook?" Lin Zihan teased him.
Lin Zheyun retorted defiantly, "Then I can go and help Mother with the fire!"
"No need, no need, you stay with your brother. Your mother and I will go cook." Liu Junlan looked at her eldest grandson with great affection and said, "What does Zhongyuan want to eat? Grandma will make you chicken noodle soup, okay?"
Upon hearing the name "Chicken Noodle Soup," Lin Zheyun couldn't help but drool.
Back in the countryside, they could barely afford to eat chicken all year round. But now that they're in Beijing, they can eat meat every day! They can also cook noodles in delicious chicken broth. The noodles are thin and white, with no grains mixed in, and they taste fresh and delicious.
Lin Zhongyuan was extremely hungry.
After the Lin family learned that the Gu poison in his eyes was a deliberate trap, they followed the Regent Qi Sichen's instructions and staged a fake death for Lin Zhongyuan to deceive the enemy.
Lin Wanyue then found a piece of Yin jade and carved runes inside it to ensure that most of Lin Zhongyuan's soul was absorbed into the Yin jade bead, so that it would not be plundered by ghosts or taken away by ghost messengers.
However, Lin Zhongyuan's body seemed to be truly dead, falling into an endless slumber.
However, this matter is not too dangerous. As long as the soul is returned to its place within a certain range, Lin Zhongyuan's body will not only not be greatly affected, but will also get better rest.
After all, there's a saying that only after death can one truly sleep and find peace.
Lin Zhongyuan lay in the coffin for two days. Everything else was fine, but he was unbearably hungry.
He quickly nodded to Liu Junlan: "Grandma, I want to eat two big bowls, and I also want a poached egg!"
"Okay, okay, Grandma will make it for you right now!" Liu Junlan immediately agreed.
Lin Zheyun drooled, "Grandma, I'm so tired from crying all day, can I have a small bowl of food too?"
The twins, Lin Zihan and Lin Ziqiu, immediately looked at Liu Junlan, their eyes filled with the words "want to eat".
"Alright, alright, everyone eat! I'll make some more so the whole family can eat together." Liu Junlan was happy to see that her eldest grandson had woken up and was in better health, and that she no longer had to worry about the Gu poison. Naturally, she wouldn't fuss over such a small matter.
Upon hearing that he could finally enjoy a big bowl of delicious chicken noodle soup, Lin Zheyun immediately felt energized. Without his father Lin Weiming's help, he was able to lift Lin Zhongyuan up and put him on the bed to rest.
Lin Ziqiu was very concerned about the Gu in Lin Zhongyuan's eyes, so he took a lamp and came over to take a look. Sure enough, he found that the red blood vessels in his eyes had returned to normal.
She asked in great surprise, "Brother, is the Gu in your eye really healed? But why is that? I didn't see my sister deal with it."
The family members were also curious about this and immediately looked at Lin Wanyue.
Lin Wanyue replied with a smile, "Because my brother had entered a state of suspended animation, even his soul had left his body. To the Gu worms in his eyes, my brother was essentially dead. Since the parasite was dead, the Gu worms parasitizing my brother's body could no longer absorb nutrients and Yin-Yang energy, and thus died as well."
Lin Wanyue used this method because she was worried that Qi Xiao might have other tricks up his sleeve to detect whether Lin Zhongyuan was really dead. That's why she used this method of separating the body from the soul.
After all, if a person really dies, before they have a chance to be reincarnated, their soul may still linger around their body.
Lin Ziqiu nodded repeatedly, "My sister is really amazing! She actually came up with such a method. Even Master couldn't think of it!"
Moreover, the master went to the Imperial Hospital to read books every day, but it was all for nothing!
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a sharp pain in his head and saw his master Hu Jiuyuan's angry face.
