After traveling through time, she took her husband to be a food doctor

Chapter 71: Two people stay at the Lin family to repay their gratitude, and Magistrate Wang assigns

After coaxing Lin Mingxuan to sleep like a child, Ding Xirui returned to the bedroom.

Mingxuan, who was a little dull in front of outsiders, was bright and generous in front of her. Mingxuan, who took good care of her and played with Nanxing, actually had so much bitterness and sorrow in his heart.

Alas, however, Lin Mingxuan has not yet told her what his father said today.

Should I stay in the Lin family, or go to Qizhou and return to the Ye family to trace my roots?

No matter where she goes, she will be with him.

At this moment, in Lin Mingyuan's courtyard, the couple were lying on the bed, still discussing.

"I really thought that Mingxuan was born to my aunt. Because of this, I once hated my father, but was scolded by my mother."

"After I got married, I felt something was wrong and asked my mother, and she said the same thing. But she emphasized that Mingxuan is your biological brother and you are not allowed to be prejudiced."

"Hey, but it seems that the bad relationship between Dad and Mom is not caused by the question of 'does Dad have anyone outside'." Wen Yuexin frowned.

"Why is that?" Lin Mingyuan turned over and asked.

"I can't explain it clearly, but I just feel that it's not the case." Wen Yuexin said, putting her hands under her head.

"Don't think about it, just go to sleep." Lin Mingyuan lay back down.

"Hey!" Wen Yuexin stretched out her hand and put it into the quilt.

"But do you think Mingxuan will go back to the Ye family?" Lin Mingyuan sat up again.

"I don't think so."

"why?"

“It’s just a feeling.”

"How come everything for you is based on feelings?" Lin Mingyuan lay back down.

"I don't know, but I don't want Xirui to leave." Wen Yuexin pouted, looking a little aggrieved.

"I don't want Mingxuan to leave either. There was a time when I didn't like him when we were little and I even wanted to beat him up. But after so many years, I've gotten used to it. Mingxuan is my brother." Lin Mingyuan recalled every moment they spent together.

"I hope they can stay." Wen Yuexin stood up and blew out the candle.

"Yeah." Lin Mingyuan answered in the darkness.

In Mrs. Lin's courtyard, Mr. Lin was standing in front of the door.

"Madam, I have made my point clear today, but you still won't forgive me?"

"Tell me, where did you go wrong?" Mrs. Lin said in the room.

"I concealed Mingxuan's background from you."

"Is that all?"

"Don't let Dashun tell you."

"anything else?"

"Let you act with me."

"No! You don't even realize where you went wrong. Please go back and think about it carefully. I won't talk to you until you figure it out!"

"Madam..." Mr. Lin was very helpless.

The door opened, and Mr. Lin was delighted, but he saw Ruyi came out and closed the door.

"Master, Madam asked you to go back and rest."

Mr. Lin returned to his study in a dusty state.

"Why?" He couldn't figure it out, but there was still a question hanging in his mind - whether Mingxuan would go back.

On the second day, Lin Mingxuan picked out a set of clothes that looked more solemn and put them on, then went to knock on the bedroom door.

Ding Xirui opened the door, holding a box in his hand, as if he was waiting for him, and his clothes were very formal.

"How do you know..."

"Of course I know."

"Let's go."

"Ah."

Lin Mingxuan went to the main hall, and several members of the Lin family were already waiting in the room, as if they had discussed it beforehand.

Seeing everyone, Lin Mingxuan knelt down, and Ding Xirui also knelt down.

"Father, you said that I am a child of the Lin family. Please promise me to stay in the Lin family and don't drive me away. Mingxuan only wants to stay here and be filial to father and mother to repay the two of you for raising me."

"Get up quickly." Master Lin walked over and helped the two of them up.

"Good boy, we are a family." Mrs. Lin also walked over and held Lin Mingxuan's hand for the first time.

"I am not qualified to claim the Lin family's property. Please ask father and mother to take it back." After Lin Mingxuan finished speaking, Ding Xirui handed the box to Mr. Lin.

"This is what your grandmother left for you, put it away quickly." Mr. Lin pushed the box back.

"No, please take it back, father." Lin Mingxuan put the box on the table and knelt on the ground.

"Please take it back, father." Ding Xirui also asked.

"If this can make you feel better, then I'll keep it for you." Seeing that the two were stubborn, Mr. Lin had to give in.

"Thank you, father." Lin Mingxuan bowed.

"Get up quickly."

"Mingxuan has another request, please agree to it, father and mother." The two did not stand up.

Lin Mingxuan fell to the ground and said, "In a few days, I want to take Xirui back to Qizhou to pay respect to my father and mother. Please allow me, father and mother."

"This is natural, and it is the filial duty that a son should fulfill."

"Yes."

"Thank you, father and mother." Lin Mingxuan bowed again, and Ding Xirui also bowed his head to the ground.

Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin helped the two of them up.

Wen Yuexin came over, took Ding Xirui's hand, and said, "That's great, Xirui. If you leave, I will be sad."

"Sister-in-law, I won't leave." Ding Xirui hugged her.

"Mingxuan, you are my brother, and Jishidiang can't do without you." Lin Mingyuan walked over and said.

"Big brother-"

Several people had smiles on their faces.

"Mingxuan, when do you plan to go to Qizhou? I have friends there who can arrange it for you." asked Mr. Lin.

"Father, I want to wait until the court issues a formal announcement before going. I want to see the guilty people brought to justice with my own eyes."

"Okay, let's go later."

Several people had breakfast together in the hall. This was the first time in all these years.

Master Lin looked at Ding Xirui and felt very ashamed. He said, "Xirui, Mingxuan, if you are not busy in the next two days, please accompany me and your mother to the Ding family. We need to give an explanation to our in-laws for such a big matter."

"Dad, don't worry, my dad and mom won't care about these things." Ding Xirui comforted.

"I know my in-laws' character and behavior very well, but I still need to say what needs to be said."

"Yes." Ding Xirui responded.

The Lin family returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

Ding Xirui finally put his mind at ease. Even though the Ye family was famous, after the reputation was restored, there would be powerful people coming to make friends with them. But Lin Mingxuan was not after those, and neither was she. The Lin family was loyal and righteous, so she should stay and repay the grace of saving her life and raising her.

After breakfast, Ding Xirui returned to the house and wrote a letter to inform his parents that Lin's parents had invited him. He called Nanxing and asked him to deliver it. Strangely enough, Nanxing was always happy to do this boring job of delivering letters, and sometimes he would take the initiative to ask if he wanted him to run errands for the Ding family.

Let’s talk about it later, Ding Xirui did not ask in detail. Now, she has to count how much money is left. Only by returning the property that the Lin family allocated to them can they feel at ease, and Lin Mingxuan must think so. Even if the Lin family’s parents treat Lin Mingxuan as their own son and don’t care about these things, they must return it. Fortunately, it has not been touched for so many days. All the money used is the monthly allowance allocated to them, which is almost the salary of Lin Mingxuan working in Jishiditang. She also has a dowry, which can be used in case of emergency. However, the future allowance will be the living expenses of the two of them, so she has to be more frugal.

The father and his two sons went to the clinic as usual. Near noon, County Magistrate Wang walked in.

"Sir Wang, I'm sorry for not coming to greet you in person." Mr. Lin quickly stood up.

"Doctor Lin, please take a seat. I came here to ask for your help."

"Sir, please speak."

"A doctor hired by the poorhouse has to go back to his hometown for some reason. He will be gone for a month. The elderly people in the poorhouse need someone to diagnose their pulses. I wonder if Doctor Lin has time. The county government will pay for the diagnosis and medical expenses."

"Ji Shi Tang is obliged to do so. Excuse me, sir, which poorhouse is this? When will it take to get there?"

"The new one in the East Market is in Linshui Lane. There aren't many elderly people living there right now. You only need to go there once in the first, middle and last ten days of the month."

"Yes. Thank you, sir."

Mr. Lin probably knew the place because the previous magistrate requested permission from the court to open a city gate on the riverside to make it easier for people to catch fish and shrimp and sell them in the city.

"Father, Linshui Lane is far away, let me go." After County Magistrate Wang left, Lin Mingxuan stepped forward and said.

"Okay. You can go tomorrow, the sixth day of the lunar month. There are mostly elderly people in the orphanage, so you need to be more patient. If you are not sure, write down the pulse and symptoms, and we, father and son, will discuss it together."

"Yes, thank you father."
