Chapter 355
Meanwhile, Zhao Yi finished dealing with urgent letters in his study and pressed his temples: "Jiang Chao, bring over the gift that Young Master Lin sent."
Jiang Chao quickly placed the wooden box in front of Zhao Yi.
Zhao Yi opened the box and saw that it contained kidney-tonifying and aphrodisiac medicines such as deer antler, morinda root, and cynomorium.
A prescription was attached below.
Having been ill for a long time, Zhao Yi became somewhat knowledgeable about medicine and figured out some of the tricks of the trade.
Jiang Chao leaned closer and read the prescription aloud: "Secret formula for conceiving a child."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly opened his eyes wide, shut his mouth tightly, and turned to look at Zhao Yi with a flustered expression, afraid that he had said something wrong and angered his master.
However, Zhao Yi merely glanced at the prescription, casually placed it on the desk, and didn't even raise an eyebrow, displaying an air of nonchalance.
"Master, subordinates..."
"It doesn't matter."
When Zhao Yi was frail and sickly, he received even more embarrassing gifts and heard many unpleasant things.
He didn't care back then, let alone now.
Whether it's feasible or not, whether he can have children or not, he knows it in his heart.
Jiang Chao pointed at the medicine, then at the letter: "Then... what should we do with these?"
Zhao Yi pondered for a moment, picked up his pen, wrote a letter, let the ink dry, put it in an envelope, and placed it in front of Jiang Chao.
"Take this letter to Old Mrs. Lin."
"I will send it to the Lin residence immediately."
Jiang Chao was furious with the Lin family and sent the body to the Lin residence as quickly as possible.
-
At the Lin residence, while waiting for Lin Qinian, Old Madam Lin received a letter sent by Zhao Yi.
Thinking of the rumors circulating outside, Old Mrs. Lin pulled out a piece of paper and quickly scanned its contents.
The further she read, the more gloomy Old Mrs. Lin's face became, until finally her hands trembled with anger.
"This is outrageous! This is absolutely outrageous!"
In his letter, Zhao Yi thanked Lin Qinian for sharing a secret formula for conceiving a child, as well as top-quality kidney-tonifying and aphrodisiac medicines. He also mentioned that he had a cousin who was a renowned doctor, and that if Lin Qinian had any urgent needs, he could consult his cousin. If a more effective and remarkable formula was found, he would certainly share it with him.
Zhao Yi killed her son one day and then came to inquire about her family's offspring the next, clearly implying that the Lin family was doomed to die out!
It's one thing for a prince to be so narrow-minded and vindictive, but to be so shameless as to write his private thoughts into a letter and send them to her, his elder.
Grandma Lin, her breathing rapid, suddenly tore the letter in her hand to shreds and threw it into the stove to burn.
"Grandma, please calm down and take care of your health." Mama Sun patted Grandma Lin's back to soothe her: "The doctor said you shouldn't be overjoyed or angry."
"The Prince of Guangling has cursed our Lin family to have no descendants, showing no regard for any face or dignity whatsoever." Old Madam Lin was furious and said through gritted teeth, "How could we share the secret to having a child with Nian-ge'er who isn't even married yet?"
"The Prince of Guangling is being too unfair! The master only has two concubines, and the Jiang family's daughter hasn't even entered the household yet. He has no intention of having children." Granny Sun chimed in, "Isn't that nonsense?"
Upon hearing what Sun Mama said, Old Mrs. Lin's expression immediately changed.
Lin Qinian did not marry, but he had two maids who served him as concubines.
Could it be that since the concubine did not take the contraceptive soup and no good news came, Lin Qinian realized that he could not conceive, and that's why he secretly sought medical advice and found a secret formula for having a child?
When Old Mrs. Lin remembered that Lin Qinian had given Zhao Yi a gift, Zhao Yi then wrote this letter and sent it to her.
Could it be that Lin Qinian really sent Zhao Yi these two items?
Thinking of this, Old Madam Lin couldn't sit still any longer and instructed Granny Sun, "Go and fetch the family physician."
Regardless of whether Lin Qinian is able to give birth, she needs to have the imperial physician examine him before she can be completely at ease.
After all, Lin Qinian was the only direct descendant of the Lin family.
Mother Sun dared not delay and hurriedly went to fetch the family physician.
The imperial physician arrived at Kangning Hospital with his medicine chest, and Lin Qinian followed shortly after.
As soon as Lin Qinian entered the room, he sat down next to Old Madam Lin, shaking her arm with both hands, and poured out his grievances: "Grandmother, you must do justice for your grandson. Today, I used the pretext of a formality to test the Prince of Guangling's background, but who knew that the Prince of Guangling looked down on me and locked me out. Those blind commoners actually said that I knelt and kowtowed to the Prince of Guangling. Isn't that a terrible injustice? He is my father's killer, how could I possibly show him any goodwill?"
Madam Lin loved Lin Qinian the most and knew her beloved eldest grandson's character very well.
When she saw Lin Qinian say these words, she rolled her eyes and knew that there was something false in them.
If Lin Qinian had been in the right, he wouldn't have come to her to complain.
When Madam Lin saw that Lin Qinian had changed his robes, she realized that his robes had gotten dirty, which was why he had changed them.
After this analysis, Madam Lin realized that the rumors circulating outside were probably true.
Lin Qinian knelt down and kowtowed to Zhao Yi.
For some unknown reason, rumors circulated that Lin Qinian was trying to curry favor with Zhao Yi.
Madam Lin asked, "What gift did you give him?"
Lin Qinian was about to spout nonsense.
Madam Lin added, "The Prince of Guangling sent me a letter."
Lin Qinian's shoulders slumped, and he stammered, "I meant to deliver tea to the Prince of Guangling, but the servants made a mistake and put those other things in instead..."
At this point, he muttered to himself, "The Prince of Guangling has been married for almost a year, and still has no children. Isn't this gift the right thing to do?"
Upon hearing this, Madam Lin knew that it was indeed true.
She suppressed her emotions and said calmly, "I'm not feeling well today, so I had the family physician come to check my pulse. You've come at the right time; let the physician check your pulse while you're at it."
Lin Qinian quickly asked, "Ancestor, how is your health?"
Madam Lin patted his head and said, "Grandmother is in good health, but she was tired from going to the palace today." After saying this, she turned to the family physician and said, "Take Nian'er's pulse."
The physician took out a pulse pillow and gestured for Lin Qinian to roll up his sleeves.
Lin Qinian did not resist. He rolled up his sleeves to his elbows and placed his wrists on the pulse pillow.
The physician carefully took Lin Qinian's pulse, his expression relaxed, and he said to Madam Lin, "Madam, the master is in good health."
Madam Lin was relieved; she was glad that the baby could be born.
Their Lin family line will not end.
Then, thinking of Zhao Yi's letter, her eyes filled with coldness: "I will personally go to the Jiang family tomorrow to ask my in-laws for help."
Madam Lin could not tolerate Zhao Yi and was unwilling to deal with the matter gradually; she wanted to resolve it quickly and decisively.
Because Lord Jiang was the Director of the Imperial Observatory, in charge of astronomy, observing celestial phenomena, and predicting the fate of the nation.
Jiang Jianzheng correctly predicted all the major events that occurred in the Northern Qi Dynasty.
Therefore, he was highly valued by the Northern Qi emperor.
If Jiang Jianzheng implied that Zhao Yi would affect the fate of the nation, then no matter how useful he was, the Emperor of Northern Qi would not tolerate Zhao Yi.
Just then, a maid rushed in: "Grandma, something terrible has happened! The Jiang family has heard something and come to annul the engagement."
