"The Marquis is here, and he has brought the imperial physician with him."

When Jia Zheng heard the maid's words, he hurriedly stood up to greet her. Because of what Lady Wang had just said, he couldn't help feeling guilty and suddenly felt a little sorry for his nephew.

"Chengyu is here, come in quickly."

An imperial physician followed behind Lin Chengyu. Jia Zheng looked closely and found that it was the chief physician of the Imperial Medical Bureau!

"Thank you for the trouble, sir." Jia Zheng looked very attentive and flattering, and was very careful not to be rude in any way.

The director of the Imperial Medical Bureau has always only treated the emperor. No one can invite him without the emperor's order. But now he has come to treat Lady Jia. Jia Zheng really doesn't know what to say.

When Mrs. Wang said those words, he was actually thinking in his heart that although Chengyu had won face in front of the emperor and Prince Linhuai, outsiders really had no idea how important she was in their hearts. Whether or not the imperial physician could be invited over was not a foregone conclusion.

If they fail to invite her, although no one will really blame Cheng Yu, they will inevitably complain a few words.

But at this moment, Jia Zheng's heart was half relieved.

Except for Mrs. Wang, everyone in the room looked at the judge expectantly, hoping to hear something good from him.

After checking the patient's pulse, the judge withdrew his hand and said, "Although the poison is fierce, fortunately the old lady has taken good care of herself on a daily basis, so there is still a glimmer of hope."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, except, of course, Mrs. Wang.

After the judge prescribed the medicine, Jia Zheng hurriedly asked someone to boil it, and then respectfully sent the person away.

Lin Chengyu stood aside, her eyes swept across Madam Wang's eyes full of hidden hatred, and suddenly curled the corners of her lips. The contempt in her eyes almost angered Madam Wang to death.

Good little boy...

Lin Chengyu liked this kind of look where she couldn't stand him but couldn't get rid of him. Whenever she saw it, she felt very happy.

After Jia Zheng came back from delivering the verdict, he praised Lin Chengyu highly, and Mrs. Wang's face gradually became distorted after hearing it.

He had never praised Jia Baoyu like this before, but now he praised this brat to the heavens. It was really outrageous.

This brat is worthy?!

Lin Chengyu glanced at her and felt amused. "My grandmother was suddenly in trouble. When I heard the news, I immediately rushed to the palace to ask for an audience with the emperor. But the emperor was discussing state affairs at that time and did not allow anyone to disturb him, so I was delayed for some time."

As he spoke, he actually showed some self-blame on his face, "Anyway, it was because I came too late. If I had come sooner, grandma would have gotten better sooner."

Jia Zheng said hurriedly: "State affairs are urgent. How can you be blamed for this? Good boy, stop saying such things. You saved your grandmother's life, and your uncle doesn't know how to thank you."

"Uncle, you are too kind. This is what I should do." Lin Chengyu said, "My grandmother loves me so much. Even if I risk my life, I will invite the imperial physician to save her."

As he spoke, Mrs. Wang Yu Guangzhong curled her lips, as if she was very disdainful. He changed the subject and said naturally, "We are a family. Let alone my grandmother, even if it was my second aunt, if she suddenly died, I would not stand idly by."

Mrs. Wang believed in ghosts and gods the most. When Lin Chengyu's words sounded unlucky, which were indeed unlucky, she felt that Lin Chengyu was deliberately cursing her.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Mrs. Wang no longer cared about pretending. Her face darkened and she opened her mouth to fight back.

"Children are always so careless when speaking. My sister should teach him a lesson. He should know what he can and cannot say."

"It's fine if he said it. I'm the elder, so it's not right for me to argue with a child. But if he accidentally says something like this in front of the emperor, wouldn't it bring trouble to the family?"

She felt that since she had caught Lin Chengyu's mistake, she should take this opportunity to make the most of it. At the moment, she was feeling very happy and did not notice Jia Zheng's face gradually becoming gloomy.

Lin Chengyu was the hero who saved Lady Jia, and everyone in the Jia family was very grateful to him. But Mrs. Wang started to act like an elder and kept blaming him. It would be strange if Jia Zheng felt comfortable after hearing that.

"Shut up." Jia Zheng's face turned cold. "Chengyu is kind and filial. I was just making an analogy just now. Why do you have to be so fussy about it? Do you act like an elder?"

Mrs. Wang felt aggrieved and indignant. It was clearly the brat who cursed her first, so how could the master be so indiscriminate.

Jia Zheng still looked unhappy, and said to Lin Chengyu guiltily: "Your second aunt is also confused because of anxiety. You must not argue with her."

Lin Chengyu shook her head. "My second aunt is an elder. It doesn't matter what she says. As a younger person, I naturally won't argue with her about it."

Jia Zheng was very pleased, "Good boy, if Baoyu had been half as obedient as you, he wouldn't have ended up like this."

"Second Brother Bao is quite good." Lin Chengyu was looked at by Madam Wang with hidden anger, but she did not feel uncomfortable at all. "Second Brother Bao's character is the most precious thing. His character is actually quite good. He is destined to enjoy a happy life."

However, Jia Zheng did not like Jia Baoyu's indifferent character. What he wanted was someone like Lin Chengyu, who could bring honor to the family and shoulder heavy responsibilities.

Not long after drinking the medicine, Lady Jia opened her eyes and looked weakly at the group of people surrounding the bed. She didn't even have the strength to speak.

Jia Min cried with joy, "You finally woke up. We were so scared."

Jia Min's eyes were red, obviously she had been crying. Grandmother Jia wanted to raise her hand to touch her head, but she couldn't do it. She could only squeeze out a few words from her throat with difficulty, "It's okay, don't worry."

Although Lady Jia had woken up, the person who poisoned the family had not been caught yet. Everyone in the Jia family was worried, and they could not sleep well until the person was caught.

They felt uneasy whenever they thought that there was someone watching them in the dark and who might attack them again at any time.

Grandmother Jia has woken up, and Jia Min wants to stay to take care of her, but Lin Chengyu wants to leave.

Mrs. Wang said hurriedly, "It's getting late now. Chengyu should stay at home for one night and leave tomorrow."

Mrs. Wang has always disliked the Lin family. It was too abnormal for her to be so anxious to let him stay. No one would believe her if she said there was no ghost.

Lin Chengyu looked at her meaningfully, which made Mrs. Wang's heart beat fast. She didn't know why, but she felt that this look was very scary, as if he could see through people's thoughts.

Jia Zheng looked at Mrs. Wang with relief, thinking that she had finally listened to his words, and he also said, "Your second aunt is right. Why don't you stay for a night so that we can have a good talk."
