Tianxi took Xu Rui to Chu Tingyu's study.

Chu Tingyu put down the book in his hand and smiled rarely.

"Doctor Xu, long time no see."

Xu Rui put down the medicine box and took two sips of the brewed tea.

"I thought the prince was anxious to see me, after all, he sent several letters urging me to come to the capital in advance, but when I arrived in the capital, he sent me to the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion first."

Xu Rui had a good relationship with him and spoke casually, "My Lord, do you have a good relationship with the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion, or do you have a close personal relationship with the Marquis of Wu'an's wife?"

"Neither." Chu Tingyu said, "Madam Wu'an Marquis Li Jingwan is the legitimate daughter of Li Beiwang and also the biological sister of Li Dingzheng."

Xu Rui's joking expression turned serious, "So they are relatives of General Li and Ding Zheng. It's only right that I arrive early."

Li Beiwang and his son sacrificed themselves for the Sheng Dynasty, and their relatives deserve preferential treatment.

"How is Li Jingwan's health?" Chu Tingyu asked.

"She looks a little unwell, but it's not serious." Xu Rui put down the cup, "She called me over to see another patient."

"Lin?"

"You know?" Xu Rui raised his eyebrows.

"I guess."

Li Jingwan asked him for help regarding Lin's matter some time ago, and Lin had become mentally ill because of Qin Chongxiao's death in battle.

"It is indeed her." Xu Rui sat down and told about the situation today. "Ms. Lin is not completely crazy. Li Jingwan took good care of her. There is a slight chance of recovery."

At this point, he frowned slightly, "When I was treating Lin today, I had a guess that her mental disorder was not just caused by stimulation, but she might have been drugged."

Chu Tingyu's face was solemn, "Really?"

"It's very likely." Xu Rui nodded slowly. "Mental disorders caused by drugs and external stimuli have different manifestations. I asked Li Jingwan, but she didn't know."

After a long while, Chu Tingyu spoke, "Don't tell her about this for now. When you go to the Marquis' Mansion next time, pay more attention to the situation inside."

If Lin was really drugged in the Marquis' Mansion, the less Li Jingwan knew, the better, the safer she would be.

-

Old Madam Qin soon learned that Li Jingwan had invited a famous doctor to the Marquis' Mansion for a consultation, and she immediately called Aunt Tong to Fuhe Hall for questioning.

Aunt Tong reported everything in detail.

"Madam, I don't know who introduced that famous doctor. He looks quite young and his medical skills are probably average."

"He said what the doctor said before, that the young lady has a deficiency of Qi and blood, and needs to recuperate for a few months, and come back for a follow-up visit every few days."

"I think the young lady has probably been cheated. I heard that this famous doctor charged a lot for the consultation."

Old Madam Qin felt relieved when she heard this.

She gave Li Jingwan a chronic poison, which accumulated over time. Combined with the tonic she had recently sent, Li Jingwan's illness could not be cured at all.

She asked the doctor just to seek peace of mind and hope that the disease could be cured.

After some time, when Li Jingwan has completely given up the idea of ​​having a child, she will definitely agree to adopt a child.

"What about the eldest lady?" Old Madam Qin asked again, "How is she doing in Youlan Residence?"

"Hiding in the house all day long." Aunt Tong showed an expression of disgust.

"Every time I go there, I can hear her making a fuss. The young mistress is also very impatient, but she is worried that Prince Jing will send someone to check, so she can only endure it."

"I think the Madam has gone completely crazy. Last time I tried to talk to her, she almost scratched my face. The young mistress only provides food and drink for the Madam, and she dare not let her out on weekdays."

After several reports from Aunt Tong, Old Madam Qin finally felt relieved.

The Lin family no longer posed any threat, so she didn't need to be distracted anymore.

What she cares about now is Qin Lingyun's marriage.

Qin Lingyun is already fourteen years old, and it’s time to get married.

She originally wanted to have Qin Lingyun adopted by Li Jingwan so that it would be easier to find a husband after she became the legitimate daughter.

Although Li Jingwan will definitely agree in the end, it is hard to say when.

A girl’s blooming period is fleeting, so Qin Lingyun’s marriage cannot be delayed.

Moreover, Qin Lingyun is a girl, so as long as she can marry well, she doesn't necessarily have to be adopted.

As long as Qin Guangyao can be adopted, he can inherit the title.

However, the Wu'an Marquis's family is not of high status, so if they want to find a good marriage, they have to rely on Li Jingwan.

She called Li Jingwan over that day and told her about this.

"Jingwan, you are the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion. Sister Yun has no father or mother. I am an old man, and your mother-in-law is unreliable. I can only rely on you to arrange Sister Yun's marriage."

"Don't worry, old lady. I have always treated Sister Yun as my own daughter. Even if you don't tell me, I have actually already found someone for her."

"You are very thoughtful." Old Madam Qin was very happy. "Is there anyone suitable?"

"There is one." Li Jingwan said with a smile, "The eldest son of the Luo family in the capital, he is eighteen years old this year. The Luo family was originally a noble family, but the previous two generations made mistakes and the family fell into decline."

"Although the Luo family is a little poor now, the eldest son of the Luo family is very ambitious. I asked someone about it. He is a good student and has passed the examination to become a scholar. He is preparing for the imperial examination next year."

"If Sister Yun marries him, she will naturally be the principal wife. When the eldest son of the Luo family passes the imperial examination, Sister Yun will be the wife of the official. With the support of the Li family and the Marquis's Mansion, he will have no problem getting promoted. Sister Yun will also be able to become a royal consort like you in the future."

"Even if he doesn't pass the exam next year, Sister Yun will marry him and the dowry will not be less, and the couple will live a good life. The eldest son of the Luo family is still young. If he takes the exam a few more times, he will eventually succeed."

After Li Jingwan's analysis, Old Madam Qin was very satisfied.

Although Qin Lingyun is Qin Chongxiao's only daughter, her current status is actually the same as what Aunt Liang said, just a concubine's daughter.

If Li Jingwan could make this marriage happen, Qin Lingyun would become the principal wife, and her status would rise dramatically, which could be considered marrying up.

Moreover, she is the principal wife of a noble family and has a very good reputation.

"You're looking at a good family." Old Madam Qin said with a smile, "I'll discuss this with Changzhou when he returns home."

After leaving Fuhe Hall, Li Jingwan whispered to Cuiyu.

"Go and call Aunt Liang and Aunt Tang. Remember, let Aunt Liang come first."

-

Xiang'er followed Tang Qiaoyin to Youlanju. The maid said that the young mistress was in the flower hall and was talking to Aunt Liang.

When Tang Qiaoyin heard that Aunt Liang was also there, her expression turned ugly. "What is she doing here?"

Cuiyu just sent a message saying that Li Jingwan wanted her to come over and talk.

Xiang'er observed and said, "Auntie, Auntie Liang likes to run around the young mistress the most, and always brings Master Fan with her."

"What's there to brag about as a bastard?" Tang Qiaoyin said disdainfully.

The entire Wu'an Marquis Mansion will belong to her son from now on.

"Last time, I heard her say in front of the young mistress that you were arrogant, bullied Aunt Tong, and robbed her yard."

"She's talking nonsense." Tang Qiaoyin said angrily, "I think this bitch is just saying bad things about me. Don't make any noise. Go and listen."

The goal had been achieved, Xiang'er nodded and followed her quietly.
