Lan Wanshuang was afraid of Ningyuan Hou and was reluctant to enter the mansion. Nanny Qi waved her hand and two servants carried Zhu Xianzhi into the Lin Mansion.

Nanny Qi made a gesture to Lan Wanshuang to invite her into the mansion. Lan Wanshuang was in a dilemma and had no choice but to go into the Lin Mansion with her.

After turning left and around eight times, Nanny Qi brought them to Suxinzhai. Not only Lin Luoling was sitting in the room, but He Jinchun was also there.

Lan Wanshuang smiled and managed to say, "Is Luo Ling's wrist feeling better? Because of your injury, I beat Xianzhi up to make you feel better. Don't be angry with him again."

"Second Madam, please sit down first!" He Jinchun continued.

Lan Wanshuang's face tightened, thinking that He Jinchun was going to argue with her about Lin Luoling's injury.

As soon as I sat down, the maid brought me tea.

Then He Jinchun asked, "Xianzhi, do you think that I can quit drinking in the future?"

Zhu Xianzhi, who was standing in the middle of the room, felt weak in the knees when he heard this, and said, "This is from the bottom of my heart. I won't dare to drink a drop of alcohol again."

He Jinchun nodded and said, "That's good. Have you told Yongning Hou about the food supply?"

"I dare not lie to my elders. Not only did my uncle know about it, but my mother also taught me to be grateful for the love of my father-in-law and mother-in-law. I must never let Ling'er down in the future, and I must always remember the kindness of my father-in-law and mother-in-law."

Hearing this, He Jinchun waved his hand and said, "That's not necessary. We will feel at ease if you treat Ling'er well."

After a pause, He Jinchun continued, "Marquis Ningyuan and his wife brought the young master to the Lin Mansion. It's rare for Marquis Ningyuan's wife to come here, so it's not good to let Ling'er come back to the Lin Mansion every day to pay her respects. I'll let her stay at the Lin Mansion for a few days.

Xianzhi, you should take good care of your injuries for the next few days. When you are better, go pick out a few shops and I will help you look for them."

Lin Luoling looked on coldly, covering her chest and said, "I think there seems to be something wrong with my husband's shoulder."

As soon as she finished speaking, she called the maid to help Zhu Xianzhi.

Zhu Xianzhi burst into tears due to the pain. "My left shoulder seems to be broken. It hurts so much."

He Jinchun sighed, looking helpless. "Ningyuan Hou has such a bad temper that the master and I can't do anything about it. My little sister is stubborn and hard to persuade. I've talked her out of my mouth these past two days, but I still can't persuade her."

After saying that, He Jinchun asked Madam Qi to send a servant to call Doctor Pang to check on Zhu Xianzhi's left shoulder injury.

Zhu Xianzhi thought of how Doctor Pang had pricked him with thirty or forty needles. When he heard the name "Doctor Pang" again, every part of his skin ached.

Half an hour later, Dr. Pang confirmed that Zhu Xianzhi had a slight fracture in his shoulder bone and needed to be fixed with a wooden strip and stay in bed for a month without moving. Only then could he recover. He also prescribed a prescription and asked Zhu Xianzhi to drink it for half a month to allow the bone to heal as soon as possible.

He Jinchun held his forehead and wondered how Ning Yuanhou's legs could be so strong.

Lin Luoling even held a handkerchief and wiped away two non-existent tears. She walked forward with concern, looking as if she wanted to touch Zhu Xianzhi but didn't dare to, as if she was extremely heartbroken.

"Doctor Pang, if the bone is broken, can we just tie it with two pieces of wood? Can it really heal in a month?" Lin Luoling asked.

Dr. Pang placed the wooden stick on Zhu Xianzhi's shoulders and fixed it with a cloth strip while explaining:

"Miss, the second young master's left shoulder bone only has a slight crack, it is not broken. After drinking the medicine I prescribed, it will be almost healed in half a month. To be on the safe side, take off the wooden stick after a month."

As the question and answer went on, Dr. Pang seemed completely oblivious to Zhu Xianzhi's screams and cries of pain.

Chen Yin threatened, "Second Young Master, don't move. Let Doctor Pang fix it for you. If it gets misplaced, you won't be able to lift your left arm in the future, and that will be troublesome!"

Upon hearing this, Lan Wanshuang hurriedly held Zhu Xianzhi's arm and advised him to be patient.

This was part of Lin Luoling's plan.

During this month, Zhu Xianzhi could neither go to choose a shop nor go to the outer house to bully the two innocent women. She could also use the excuse that the wife of Marquis Ningyuan was in the Lin Mansion to avoid returning to the Marquis Yongning Mansion.

Dr. Pang fixed Zhu Xianzhi's left shoulder. Zhu Xianzhi's hair was already wet with sweat.

He Jinchun stood aside and said to Lan Wanshuang: "Xianzhi's injury is so serious, he should be allowed to stay in the Lin Mansion, but...

But the Ningyuan Marquis and his wife are both in the Lin Mansion. If the Ningyuan Marquis sees Xianzhi again, it might not be appropriate. I will order someone to harness the carriage and take you and Doctor Pang to the pharmacy to get medicine, and then send you back to the Yongning Marquis Mansion, okay?"

Hearing the three words "Marquis Ningyuan", Lan Wanshuang and Zhu Xianzhi's hearts trembled. They didn't want to stay in the Lin Mansion any longer and kept thanking him.

He Jinchun and Lin Luoling sent the mother and son out of the Lin Mansion, and reminded Zhu Xianzhi to take good care of him in front of the door.

Looking at the carriage going farther and farther away, Lin Luoling smiled fleetingly and told Biyou and Bizhi to go to Yongning Marquis' Mansion after nightfall and keep an eye on the east and west courtyards.

After nightfall, He Jinchun ordered people to set up a banquet in the Moon-Viewing Pavilion. After everyone took their seats, they sang and laughed happily for a long time.

As soon as the banquet was over, Ningyuan Hou's wife quietly asked Lin Yuru, "Since your brother and sister-in-law both think Ling'er married the wrong person, why don't you ask your father-in-law to find Cao Peng, the governor of Xuzhou in the capital, and talk things over so that they can get divorced?"

Lin Yuru whispered in the ear of Ningyuan Hou's wife: "My sister-in-law said the same thing before, but I don't know what Ling'er is so stubborn about. She just said that it is not the best time to divorce."

The wife of Ningyuan Hou sighed softly, glanced at Lin Luoling, and said with regret: "Ling'er is a child that I liked very much at first sight, but she is the same age as Chi'er, and she is more than three months older than Chi'er. Chi'er's temperament is not yet settled, and he has not yet reached adulthood. I am afraid that Ling'er will be delayed.

If not, I would definitely let Chier marry her back to Ningyuan Marquis Mansion."

Lin Yuru also sighed.

The wife of Ningyuan Marquis took He Jinchun and said, "We are all family relatives. If there is anything, just tell me. Don't let Ling'er suffer any injustice."

He Jinchun agreed with a smile, and he and Lin Tingxu personally sent Ningyuan Hou and his wife to Wanchun Garden for resettlement.

However, Ningyuan Marquis's youngest son Jiang Chi was very active. When he arrived at the gate of Wanchun Garden, he refused to go in and shouted at the top of his voice:

"Sister-in-law, please arrange for me to live somewhere else. I don't want to live in the same yard with my father."

Lin Yuru knew that Jiang Chi was the kind of person who didn't like being restrained. Jiang Chi was the only son of Ningyuan Hou, so he was naturally kept under strict control on weekdays. Now that he was finally brought out, Jiang Chi was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, wanting to find some freedom.

Therefore, Lin Yuru said a few words to comfort Ningyuan Hou and his wife, and then arranged for Jiang Chi to go to Hongge Yayuan.

Before midnight, Lin Luoling was flipping through a book leisurely when she heard footsteps. She turned around and saw Bizhi walking in.

Bi Zhili said, "My lady, something is wrong in the East Courtyard tonight."

Lin Luoling put down the book and asked, "What's wrong?"
