Lin Luoling opened the door and Biyou walked in quickly. After closing the door, she saw Biyou looked strange, so she asked, "What happened?"

Biyou reported, "The young lady asked me to keep an eye on Meiyin. There was a commotion outside just now, and Aunt Zhou asked Meiyin to go and see where the East Courtyard was burned.

Miss, guess what? Mei Yin went to the East Courtyard and saw that the Yongning Marquis' study was on fire. She did not return to Lanxiang Courtyard, but quietly led the Yongning Marquis' wife aside. "

Lin Luoling frowned, guessing that Mei Yin had secretly joined the Yongning Marquis' wife.

"I clearly saw that Madam Dong, the personal maid of the wife of the Marquis of Yongning, handed Mei Yin several packets of medicine and stuffed a silver ingot into her pocket, saying: If you don't have enough medicine, you can ask me for more. When the matter is done, you will definitely get some benefits.

Mei Yin was probably afraid of being seen, so she said, "Don't worry, Madam." Then she ran back to Lanxiang Pavilion with the medicine in her arms.

Lin Luoling learned from Biyou that Mei Yin returned to Lanxiang Pavilion and secretly put medicine in the soup when she was making nourishing soup. Zhu Jingzhong happened to come back drunk, so he drank a bowl of soup and then fell asleep with Zhou Jiaoling.

Mei Yin accompanied Zhu Qingyao to sleep, mixed a packet of medicine with warm water, and coaxed Zhu Qingyao to drink more than half a cup. Zhu Qingyao then fell into a deep sleep and could not be awakened no matter what.

Mei Yin blew out the candles and fell asleep with Zhu Qingyao in her arms. Bi You waited for a while, and when he saw that Mei Yin had fallen asleep, he came back and told Lin Luoling everything he had seen.

After hearing this, Lin Luoling suddenly realized that the wife of Marquis Yongning must have believed that Zhu Xianrun's death was caused by Zhu Jingzhong, so she secretly promised benefits to Mei Yin and drugged Zhu Qingyao, whom Zhu Jingzhong had always favored.

As for the thunder god vine that Zhu Jingzhong drank, Lan Wanshuang knew that Nanny Dong had an affair with the court physician, so Nanny Dong secretly replaced the medicine with the thunder god vine given to her by Lan Wanshuang.

The complicated matter was finally sorted out.

Lin Luoling asked Biyou to go back and have a good sleep first. She lay alone on the bed, disturbed by the noisy noise outside until the middle of the night, and could not fall asleep.

When Lin Luoling woke up the next day, it was already noon. She called Biyou and Bizhi three times to help her wash up, but there was no response.

Wondering, Lin Luoling got dressed and just opened the door, when a pungent smell of burning charcoal immediately rushed into her nostrils.

Lin Luoling really disliked this smell, as it reminded her of what happened before her death in her previous life.

Seeing that Lin Luoling's face was extremely gloomy and cold, the maids who had gathered in the yard and were gossiping in low voices hurriedly stood up and bowed to Lin Luoling.

Naturally, Qi Sheng couldn't be lowered. Chen Yin, who was chatting with Biyou and Bizhi in the room, opened the door and pulled Lin Luoling into the room without saying a word.

Suddenly Bizhi said, "Miss, the three secret guards of Yongning Marquis were burned to death. The fire was so big that even the trees nearby were burned black."

Shen Yin whispered in Lin Luoling's ear: "Young Master Jiang's hands are really dark!"

Lin Luoling was not surprised at all, and asked calmly, "Is the fire out?"

Bizhi replied: "The fire was not extinguished until dawn, and the study of Marquis Yongning had collapsed into a charred ruin. Marquis Yongning was very angry."

Lin Luoling nodded and said, "In that case, let's not get involved in any trouble. Close the door of Shuxi Pavilion. If anyone comes to ask, just say that I have a heart palpitation."

Biyou and Bizhi responded in unison, followed Lin Luoling back to the main room, and helped her wash up.

Chen Yin ordered the maids in the courtyard to prepare lunch, and said with his hands behind his back, "I feel hungry today, everyone should eat something good."

In fact, she was not greedy at all, but because the study of Marquis Yongning was burned down, Marquis Yongning was furious and scolded Zhu Xianzhi in anger. Lan Wanshuang and Zhu Jingzhong were also scolded.

Zhu Jingzhong retorted a few words, but did not dare to offend Marquis Yongning too much, so he pretended to be extremely angry and ran out of the Marquis Yongning's mansion with his short legs.

Just after lunch, Lan Wanshuang sent Nanny Meng to say that Zhu Xianzhi accidentally fell while putting out a fire last night and wanted to ask Chen Yin to go and take a look.

Bizhi had already vividly described to Chen Yin how the study in the Yongning Marquis's mansion had caught fire and how the east and west courtyards were in chaos.

How could Chen Yin not know that Zhu Xianzhi's injury was caused by Yongning Hou kicking him last night?

She said helplessly, "Last night, Sister Ling'er heard that there was a fire in the study of Marquis Yongning. She was so frightened that she had a heart palpitation attack and is still feeling uncomfortable.

My stepmother asked me to take good care of my younger sister Ling'er. How could I abandon my younger sister Ling'er and go take care of your second young master?

Don’t you have a doctor in Yongning Marquis’ Mansion? It’s just a fall, can’t he treat it?”

Madam Meng burst into tears and begged, "Many servants and maids in the East Courtyard were injured, and the palace doctor was called away by the Marquis of Yongning, so we couldn't find him.

After all, the Second Young Master is Miss Chen Yin's brother-in-law, so go and have a look at him."

Chen Yin shook her head and refused, "If it weren't for my sister Ling'er, how could the Second Young Master be my brother-in-law? What Madam Meng said is really funny. I'm sorry I can't spare any time."

With a bang, Chen Yin closed the gate of Shuxi Pavilion and ordered loudly: "Sister Ling'er is suffering from palpitations, so you should all keep your voices down. If you scare Sister Ling'er, you will have to go back to the Lin Mansion to be punished.

If someone knocks on the door again, I will shout at the top of my lungs and pretend I didn’t hear them.”

These words were clearly meant for Nanny Meng to hear. Nanny Meng was so angry that she gritted her teeth outside the door. She wiped the tears from her old face, ran back to Chunlan Courtyard, and complained to Lan Wanshuang with exaggerated details.

But before he could finish his words, he heard a deep voice behind him.

"You are such a mean woman. Just because I didn't give you the half roasted chicken left over from Shuxi Pavilion, you can talk nonsense like this?"

At some point, Chen Yin leaned against the door, folded his arms and glared at Nanny Meng with disdain.

Nanny Meng was so angry that she forgot to close the gate and thought to herself: I was careless!

Seeing Chen Yin coming alone, Nanny Meng, who has always been a bully, said, "If I talk nonsense, I will die a miserable death in the future. Those words were clearly said by you. I just told the second lady the truth."

I thought Chen Yin would argue with her, and Nanny Meng had already prepared her retort.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yin said, "Since you have put such a big blame on me, I will take it. You go find the palace doctor to treat the second young master. Goodbye!"

After saying that, Shen Yin turned and left.

Seeing this, Lan Wanshuang raised her palm and gave Nanny Meng a loud slap, scolding: "You bastard old slave, it's all because I've been too kind and indulgent to you all the time."

Lan Wanshuang ran after Chen Yin, but she didn't want Chen Yin to walk too fast, and she was about to catch up with Shu Xi Pavilion.

Suddenly, the housekeeper Zhou Quan ran with sweat all over his forehead. When he saw Chen Yin, his frown lifted and he said:

"Miss Chen Yin, Marquis Yongning asked me to invite you to treat the burns of several stewards in the mansion."

Hearing this, Chen Yin suddenly turned around and walked backwards, almost bumping into Lan Wanshuang who was running towards him.

Chen Yin pretended to slap his forehead and said, "I was so angry just now that I forgot that Sister Ling'er asked me to see the Second Young Master. Second Madam, come on... take me to see the Second Young Master."

Butler Zhou Quan glanced at Lan Wanshuang secretly, feeling torn and not daring to block the way of Lan Wanshuang and Chen Yin, so he had to follow closely and begged Chen Yin to go to the East Courtyard.

Lan Wanshuang, who was dragged back to Chunlanyuan by Chen Yin in a daze, didn't understand why Chen Yin changed his expression so quickly.

After entering the side room, he saw Zhu Xianzhi lying on the bed, crying out in pain. He pursed his lips and smiled evilly, then took out a needle bag from his sleeve pocket, thinking: If I don't use my acupuncture method now to make the Second Young Master never use it again in his life, when will I do?
