Lin Cheng's face changed. Oh no, he was so busy with other things that he forgot that he should go to the general's mansion first.

Lin Cheng stood up and asked, "Is he here to call for punishment?"

"No, Master Yun Sheng prepared a lot of gifts and his attitude was very warm. It seemed like he came to express gratitude. Master, could it be that the Third Miss was wrongly accused?" Butler Liu said tentatively.

Lin Rouan's face turned cold and he scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Butler Liu lowered his head and said nothing more.

Lin Rou comforted Lin Cheng's arm and said calmly, "Dad, why don't we go and see what Master Yun Sheng is here for."

She was certain that Lin Shuning had no medical skills, let alone the ability to save Madam Yun.

The Yun family must be here to call for punishment!

Do you understand the saying "be polite before using force"? You idiot!

She glanced at Butler Liu coldly.

Lin Cheng didn't dare to delay any longer and hurried to the front yard. Lin Rouan followed closely behind him. When they arrived at the main hall, they discovered that it was filled with gifts.

From large items like jade ornaments and silks and brocades to small items like jewelry, rouge, spices, and imperial snacks, everything is available.

Yun Sheng stood in the middle with his hands behind his back, his face full of warmth. When he saw Lin Cheng, he came up to him warmly and said, "Sir Shangshu, my wife was saved yesterday thanks to your daughter. She was able to save her and her son's lives. My wife still needs to rest and cannot move around, so she specially ordered me to come here to give her some gifts as a token of gratitude."

Lin Rouan's heart sank little by little. She looked at the dazzling array of gifts in the room and murmured to herself, "Are all these for Lin Shuning?"

"Of course! I wonder if these small gifts can please the Third Miss." Yun Sheng felt that the behavior of this father and daughter was a little strange, but he still said with a smile.

Lin Cheng's expression froze for a moment. After all, he was a cunning old man. He quickly reacted and said with a smile: "Mr. Yun, you are too polite. This is what my daughter should do. Your father Yun Zhong and I are old friends. Why are you so polite?"

Yun Zhong had made outstanding military achievements and acted in a low-key manner, making him a favorite of the emperor. Over the years, the emperor had rewarded their family with countless gifts. Now, all members of the Yun family have gone to the border to fight, leaving only the eldest son Yun Sheng and his family to recuperate in Beijing.

Even so, the emperor never neglected it and ordered people to send various rewards every few days.

This shows how much importance they attach to the Yun family.

Now all the families in the court want to win over the Yun family as their help. If he can seize the initiative, it will be of great benefit to him no matter which camp he stands on in the end.

Yun Sheng laughed heartily a few times: "Sir, you are too gentle. The imperial physician said that if it weren't for your daughter's diagnosis and treatment, my wife would have been in great danger."

When Lin Rouan heard this, she subconsciously said, "Impossible, she doesn't know any medical skills, she just happened to do it this time! She is lucky!"

Yun Sheng was stunned, his eyes fell on Lin Cheng's face, and he asked suspiciously: "Sir Shangshu, what does the second young lady mean?"

Lin Cheng glared at Lin Rouan in reproach and said with a smile, "Don't listen to her nonsense. She just had a quarrel with her sister and is now talking nonsense in anger. It's normal for a little girl to lose her temper. It's normal."

After saying that, he gave Lin Rouan a warning look.

Lin Rouan held back the rest of her words as she looked at the room full of treasures, feeling jealous and about to go crazy.

"I see," Yun Sheng nodded, "Why don't you see Miss Third? I want to thank my savior in person."

"She... this child went out early in the morning and is not at home now. Why don't I accept these gifts for her first, and then I will pass them to her when she comes back and let her come to my house to thank you." Lin Cheng is indeed an old fox, and his lies are more slippery than a loach.

Yun Sheng shook his head: "It doesn't matter, I will wait here for the Third Miss. My wife asked me to thank the Third Miss in person no matter what, and see her accept these small gifts with my own eyes."

Lin Cheng laughed awkwardly twice: "Okay, I'll send someone to get her back right away."

He glanced at Butler Liu beside him.

At this moment, a maid suddenly rushed in from outside the door: "Master, this is bad. Miss San was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall, but she didn't repent and ate all the offerings in the ancestral hall. This is very disrespectful! You must punish her severely."

This maid was none other than Xiufang, Lin Rouan's personal maid who had received money from Nanny Song last night.

After saying this, Xiufang looked at Lin Rouan expectantly. Last night, for some reason, she slept outside all night and got a big bump on her head from a mosquito bite from nowhere. It was painful and swollen, which delayed the Second Young Lady's important event.

So as soon as she woke up today, she went straight to the ancestral hall to report.

But why did she feel that the atmosphere in the hall was a little off?

Lin Rouan glared at her fiercely. This useless thing, why did she come at this time instead of earlier or later?

Now, her father must be blaming her to death.

Lin Cheng's face turned horrifyingly pale. Seeing this, Butler Liu hurried forward and drove Xiufang away.

When Xiufang saw everyone's expressions, she realized she had said the wrong thing and turned around and ran away trembling with fear.

The warmth on Yun Sheng's face had disappeared. Although his expression was still normal, he gave people an inexplicable sense of pressure. He was intimidating without even getting angry: "Sir Shangshu, why did you punish my wife's savior to kneel in the ancestral hall? Please give me an explanation, or I will report it to His Majesty and report your family for abusing their children."

"This..." Lin Cheng said awkwardly, "This is all a misunderstanding. My daughter has never learned any medical skills. Yesterday, I heard that she boasted on the street, so I punished her in anger. Someone, please invite Miss Three over here!"

"Really?" Yun Sheng smiled, "Then didn't the Minister send someone to check whether the Third Miss cured my wife? Many people on the street saw yesterday that my wife got better after the Third Miss helped her. How come your family is the only one that doesn't know?"

"I guess it's because you don't care enough about her. As a father, you don't even know if your daughter has medical skills. You just believe everything you hear and wrongly accuse a good person for no reason. It's really chilling."

Lin Cheng was speechless and could only glare at Lin Rouan.

When Lin Shuning arrived, she happened to hear what Yun Sheng said. She couldn't help but give him a thumbs up in her heart. He is worthy of being the eldest son of the General's Mansion. He sees things more clearly than ordinary people!

Look at the dazzling array of gifts, it really shows how generous they are!

Lin Shuning suppressed the corners of his mouth that were about to rise wildly, but he was screaming in his heart.

When Yun Sheng saw her coming, his eyes moved slightly.
