Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 184 News

At noon, after eating her medicinal meal, Lady Shun'an leaned on the couch and listened to Mother Zhu's report on the follow-up of the incident: "The maid named Xiao Fu, her father Zhou Daquan was the head of the Third Young Lady's farm. Somehow he got addicted to gambling and lost the family's house in gambling. He was also captured by the gambling house.

Her mother was so worried that she became ill, so the girl had to take the responsibility and find a way to redeem her father and buy medicine for her mother..."

"She is a filial girl." After hearing this, Princess Shun'an sighed and her attitude became tough again, "But if you do something wrong, you should be punished. We in the Shen Mansion cannot keep a maid with such bad character.

You go find Yongyao's wife in person. Since Zhou Daquan is her companion, let her handle the matter. Don't ruin our reputation."

Mother Zhu agreed, but before she left, Chuntao came in and said, "Madam, Doctor Lin is here."

"Please come in." Princess Shun'an sat up, and Mother Zhu quickly took a soft pillow to support her waist.

Soon, Doctor Lin followed Chuntao in.

The Shunan County Lady held out her hand and said, "Luxi, come and sit down. I've told you so many times that you can come in when you come. No need to announce it."

"Etiquette cannot be abolished." Doctor Lin said as he bowed, then walked forward, placed his hand on her outstretched hand, followed her force and walked to the side to sit down.

Princess Shunan glanced at her in reproach: "How can you be so? We are sisters, but you still care about these empty formalities, like an old scholar."

She gently patted Doctor Lin's hand and said, "I asked you to come this time for no other reason than to have news about him."

"Really?" Doctor Lin's face changed from his usual calm and indifferent demeanor. He showed excitement and anxiety. "Where is he?"

"Don't worry, I just have some news, but I don't know where it is. Several decades ago, a grandmother and her grandson went to the market in the city. The grandson was greedy and swallowed a date pit by mistake, and fainted on the spot.

Fortunately, a young man named Jiang passed by, stood the child upside down, shook out the date pit, and prescribed a prescription for treating the child's panic.

Doctor Lin stared into the eyes of Shunan County Lady and asked for confirmation: "Is your surname Jiang?"

The Shunan County Lady nodded: "Yes, the last name is Jiang."

Doctor Lin's eyes were red. "Where's the prescription?"

"I knew you would ask this." Princess Shun'an smiled and looked up, calling, "Mother Zhu."

Mother Zhu turned around, took out a stack of square notes from a small box on the dressing table and handed them to Doctor Lin.

Doctor Lin opened it, took a quick look, and said, "It's him! It's him!"

"You doctors all have your own habits when prescribing medicine. I thought that since you two were childhood sweethearts and studied medicine together, you should be able to see something from your medication habits. So I asked my servant to go to that family and ask for the prescription."

Doctor Lin took a long time to calm down. She said, "Thank you for your concern."

"Luxi, if you continue to be so polite, I will be annoyed. If you hadn't taken care of me every day over the years, I would have died long ago." Princess Shun'an pursed her lips, seeming to be very angry.

Doctor Lin said sincerely: "We have a good relationship, but I also want to thank you sincerely."

"Puchi." Mother Zhu at the side couldn't help but laughed out loud.

Princess Shunan looked over and asked in confusion, "What are you laughing at, mom?"

Mother Zhu said cheerfully, "For so many years, I have seen you two thanking me over and over again, but I still don't know how to thank you."

Princess Shun'an and Doctor Lin looked at each other and smiled. The atmosphere in the room suddenly became relaxed and pleasant.

After chatting for a while, Doctor Lin turned the topic to Song Ying's false accusation today, "My apprentice caused a lot of trouble for the county lady today. Fortunately, I met you, so I was willing to find out the truth and clear her name."

Hearing this, Shunan County Lady stopped smiling and said seriously, "Luxi, I know you are kind-hearted and can't bear to see people suffer, but I sent someone to investigate Song Ying. She is smart, but she is too active. She is not a serious girl."

Her brows were furrowed tightly, her face full of disapproval: "Look at what she has done. She has encouraged her peers to keep things to themselves, and has corrupted the morale of the entire village."

Seeing that Doctor Lin's expression had faded, Mother Zhu quickly interrupted with a smile, "Old lady, how can you be so mean to your apprentice in front of him? How can you save your dignity as a master?"

Princess Shunan understood what she meant, but was not happy to stop there, and said angrily: "Mother Zhu, don't stop me. Even if she doesn't want to hear it, I have to say it. That Song Ying is an ungrateful person!

Her grandmother and second uncle's family raised her, and now that she has learned skills and grown up, they want to go out and live on their own. This unfilial thing, no matter how smart or capable she is, is still a disaster!"

Doctor Lin was a little angry, and his tone was not very good: "What's wrong with being quick-witted? It's not like she has evil intentions to harm others, so why is she not a decent girl?

She is an orphan girl from a mountain village with no one to rely on. If she doesn’t make plans for herself, she will have to live her whole life at the mercy of others.”

"What decent girl would show up in public and do odd jobs without telling her family?"

"I also show up in public to treat patients. Does the county lady mean that I am not a serious person either?"

Princess Shunan was a little stuck, and after a pause she said, "You are different, you had no choice. Besides, you were on duty in the palace before, and then you stayed in my Shen Mansion. How can you be considered to be in the spotlight?"

Doctor Lin moved her lips and wanted to say that she would like to be in public and save lives, but unfortunately she didn't have the chance. However, she was not as outspoken as Princess Shun'an, so she swallowed the words back after turning them around.

"How do you know that my apprentice was not forced to do so? You sent someone to Xinghua Village to inquire a few times, and you concluded that she was that kind of person.

But can outsiders tell what is going on inside a family? Don’t you have a deep understanding of this?”

As she spoke, she glanced meaningfully in the direction of Fengheyuan.

When it comes to Fengheyuan, Princess Shunan is completely speechless.

Doctor Lin added, "I have found a successor, which is a big deal. I plan to set up a few tables to celebrate. If the county lord is free, please come and have a feast."

The frustration brought by Aunt Lian was immediately thrown out of the window by County Lady Shunan. She pointed at Doctor Lin and said, "Lin Luxi, fine, fine! I have been talking for so long, but you didn't listen to a word I said. You are still asking for more, right? Do you know what this means?"

"I know," Doctor Lin said calmly, "Support my apprentice. Tell everyone that I am very satisfied with this apprentice. Before you try to frame her in the future, think of me as her master first."

Princess Shunan was so angry that she wanted to argue with Doctor Lin again, but Doctor Lin stood up and said goodbye and left. Princess Shunan was so angry that she pounded the bed and said, "This Lin Luxi! How can he still be so irritating!"
