Lin Luoling's fingers tapped lightly on the table.

Chen Yin was making tea nearby. She saw that Lin Luoling was thinking about something, so she didn't say anything to disturb him.

In fact, even if Zhou Quan did not betray Lan Wanshuang this time, he would not be able to escape death. What Lin Luoling was thinking about was the burning of the study of Marquis Yongning. Jiang Chi's explanation to her was that the evidence of the crime of smuggling military rations with the second prince was hidden in the study of Marquis Yongning.

Lin Luoling always felt that this explanation was far-fetched.

Since he was able to burn down the study of Marquis Yongning and knock out the three secret guards and burn them to death in the study, would it be difficult for Jiang Chi to steal the evidence?

Therefore, there is only one possibility, that in addition to holding evidence of smuggling military rations with the Second Prince, Marquis Yongning also has other secret matters.

Well, Zhou Quan had been with Marquis Yongning since he was a child. Based on her understanding of Zhou Quan in her previous life, he would definitely leave a way out for himself and must know some secrets of Marquis Yongning in private.

As for whether Zhou Quan will give Lan Wanshuang away tonight, that is not the point. Even if Zhou Quan does not know the evil deeds Lan Wanshuang has done, Lin Luoling has prepared "funeral clothes" for Lan Wanshuang, and will put Lan Wanshuang into the coffin sooner or later.

However, if Lan Wanshuang was beaten to death tonight, Lin Luoling would give Lan Wanshuang a decent funeral due to his current situation.

If it passed today, Lan Wanshuang would only be able to linger on for a few more days, and she would not even have dignity after her death.

After much thought, Lin Luoling felt that Zhou Quan would only admit to having an affair with Nanny Meng, and he did not dare to mention anything else.

Because Yuanbao is Zhou Quan's son, his full name is: Zhou Yuanbao.

Zhou Quan also has a daughter who has just come of age and is studying to teach at the Zhili Women's College in Xuzhou, Beijing.

The girls who studied at Zhili Women's College mainly learned women's virtues, needlework, etiquette, tea making, and accounting.

In the Tianqi country, every state has a Zhili Women's College. After three exams, the three most accomplished women will be selected and sent to the Chief Education Office in the capital.

The Chief Education Office would select some of them, keep them in the palace for instruction, and then give them to the concubines in various palaces.

Then the princes, princesses, and princesses would select some of them and put them in the back house, or keep them by their side.

The ones that are left at the end will be brought into the palace by the ministers of the court and handed over to the mistress of the house, and will either be given to the son as a concubine or to the daughter as a maid.

The women who study teaching at Zhili Women's College do not have a very strong background or family background, but that does not mean that all these women have bad luck.

The mother of the eldest prince, Prince Jin, Concubine Chen, was educated at Zhili Girls' College.

Suddenly there was a burst of noise, which brought Lin Luoling back to his senses.

Biyou came to report: "As Miss said, your father-in-law took Madam Meng's body to Chunlan Courtyard."

Hearing this, Lin Luoling's eyes darkened and he sighed softly.

It seems that Zhou Quan did not give Lan Wanshuang away, otherwise why would Zhu Jingzhong carry Nanny Meng's body to Chunlanyuan? Instead, he would let Zhou Quan confront Lan Wanshuang and beat Lan Wanshuang to death on the spot.

Lin Luoling hooked her finger at Biyou. Biyou stepped forward and Lin Luoling whispered in her ear:

"There is a great chaos in the mansion right now. Go to all the houses and check if there are any secret rooms or hidden cabinets with secret letters or other items. If there are, bring them back to me no matter what they are."

Biyou took the order and left.

Lin Luoling smiled and said to Chen Yin: "Sister, it's time to go to bed."

Chen Yin had just made tea and was about to pour a cup for Lin Luoling. Hearing this, he was startled and asked:

"Why don't you wait for Bizhi to come back and tell you what Yongning Hou has interrogated Zhou Quan about, how to deal with Zhou Quan, and...

Aren't you curious about whether Zhu Jingzhong beat Lan Wanshuang to death? "

Lin Luoling concluded: "Zhou Quan and Nanny Dong will not be able to escape death tonight. Zhu Jingzhong will seriously injure Lan Wanshuang tonight, but he will not kill her."

Lin Luoling's lips curled up in a cold arc, and he thought: Letting Lan Wanshuang die like this would be too easy for her. It would be good to let Lan Wanshuang experience what it means to be worse off than dead.

She called the maid in to take the small charcoal stove out, pulled Chen Yin up and said:

"When Zhu Jingzhong beats Lan Wanshuang severely, Zhu Xianzhi will definitely ask you to treat Lan Wanshuang. You can't go tonight no matter what."

Pulling Chen Yin to the next room, Lin Luoling whispered in Chen Yin's ear:

"Sister, go check on Lan Wanshuang tomorrow. Marquis Yongning will definitely order the court doctor not to get involved in Chunlanyuan's affairs. Sister, you don't have to check on Lan Wanshuang tomorrow. Just let her lie on the bed and wait to die."

Just as Lin Luoling said, an hour later, Zhu Xianzhi banged on the gate of Shuxi Pavilion like a madman, shouting, "Open the door, open the door quickly."

The servant in the front yard rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked, "Who is it?"

Zhu Xianzhi said in a hurry: "I, your brother-in-law, open the door quickly, I have something to talk to Ling'er about."

At this time, a maid impatiently opened the back door and shouted, "Young lady, please go to bed. If you have anything, come back tomorrow."

Upon hearing the noise, Zhu Xianzhi angrily cursed the old woman outside the courtyard gate and kicked the gate hard, threatening that if the door was not opened, he would kick open the gate of Shuxi Pavilion and beat the old woman to death.

After the servant opened the gate, Zhu Xianzhi ran into the backyard as if a ghost was chasing him, pushed open the door of Lin Luoling's bedroom, and said, "Ling'er, something happened to mother."

Lin Luoling was not asleep. She pretended to be awakened, stood up and asked with a nasal voice, "What happened?"

Zhu Xianzhi held Lin Luoling's hand, his fingers were cold and trembling slightly.

He said, "My father and mother had a verbal dispute for some reason, and when the argument got too intense, they started fighting. My father beat my mother and injured her. Please quickly ask Sister Chen Yin to treat my mother's injuries."

Lin Luoling pretended to be embarrassed and said: "Sister Chen Yin is stubborn, don't you know? She is sleeping now. If you wake her up, I'm afraid she won't go to see your mother tomorrow."

Zhu Xianzhi suggested that Lin Luoling send a servant to Doctor Yan's house to invite Doctor Yan over.

Lin Luoling's excuse for declining was that the doctors at Rende Hall had all received great favors from her mother. If Doctor Yan was invited into the house, her mother would definitely know about the family scandal of Zhu Jingzhong beating Lan Wanshuang.

If her mother knew what happened to her parents-in-law, she would definitely take her back to the Lin Mansion overnight.

Hearing this, Zhu Xianzhi cried and said, "What should I do?"

Lin Luoling pretended not to know what happened in the mansion and said, "I heard from my aunt that your second aunt is in charge of Guangshun Pharmacy. You should go find your second aunt now. There should be a doctor in their pharmacy."

Zhu Xianzhi blurted out: "My second aunt died today."

"What?" Lin Luoling rubbed his ears, "Are you saying that your second aunt died?"

Zhu Xianzhi nodded, and Lin Luoling took the opportunity to rub salt into Zhu Xianzhi's wounds by asking why Lan Wanqing died suddenly and what the emergency was.

Zhu Xianzhi held his head and cried without answering.

Seeing this scene, Lin Luoling felt very happy. After a moment of silence, he took out five taels of silver from under his pillow and said:

"Take the silver, find a pharmacy, and ask a doctor to come and see mother-in-law. When daybreak comes, I will persuade Sister Chen Yin to see mother-in-law."

Zhu Xianzhi, who had been in a state of confusion for a long time, felt like he had grabbed a life-saving straw. He took the silver and went out of the house to invite a doctor.

Lin Luoling closed the door and smiled coldly. In the whole Jingxuzhou, Rendetang had the most pharmacies and the most doctors. Eighty percent of the people who opened pharmacies in Jingxuzhou were once apprentices of the famous doctors in Rendetang pharmacy.

When Zhu Xianzhi invited a doctor into the house in the middle of the night to see Lan Wanshuang, could he not announce his name?

Is there anyone who runs a pharmacy in Beijing and Xuzhou who doesn’t know that she married Zhu Xianzhi?

Coming to see Lan Wanshuang for five taels of silver, isn't this a blatant insult to Rendetang Pharmacy and to his own master?

Who could be that stupid?

What's more, Marquis Yongning did not allow the palace doctor to treat Lan Wanshuang's injuries. How could Marquis Yongning not know about this when Zhu Xianzhi took five taels of silver and went out of the palace in the middle of the night to hire a doctor?

From the moment Zhu Xianzhi took the silver and left the house, whether he could invite the doctor back or not, it was equivalent to standing on the opposite side of Marquis Yongning.

Lin Luoling had just laid down on the couch when Bizhi came back.
