After reading my mind, Daddy, why don't you smile?

The residence of Prime Minister Liu.

Mother Zhou rushed in. Lin was looking at the account book in the mansion. When she heard the voice, she looked up at Mother Zhou and said disdainfully, "You are so flustered. What's wrong with you? You are also an old man in the mansion. How can you behave like this!"

Mother Zhou took a breath and looked around.

Lin understood what was happening, closed the account book, and said to the maids slowly, "I'm tired, you all go down!"

"Yes!"

After the maids left, Lin said to Madam Zhou, "If you have something to say, please tell me!"

Mother Zhou looked very angry. She leaned close to Lin's ear and whispered, "Madam, I just heard something!"

"Speak slowly."

"I went to the pharmacy to get medicine, and I happened to meet the servant of the Imperial Physician Xue, who also came to get medicine."

Lin took a sip of tea and said nonchalantly, "His family has been a family of doctors for generations. What medicine can he get from outside?"

"Yes! I was curious, and then I waited for the boy to leave, and then I asked the owner of the pharmacy. He said that he was using a medicine to protect the fetus. When I asked again, he refused to tell me. I paid him some money to get him to tell the truth."

"Guess what, ma'am?"

Lin's eyes widened and she sat up straight.

"The old shopkeeper said that the servant of the Xue family has been holding this medicine for a long time. This medicine comes from Lingnan. It just so happens that there is a severe drought in Lingnan. This year, the production of this medicine has been reduced and it is particularly short. There are not many pharmacies in the palace, and the Imperial Hospital has to keep track of the number, so the Xue family has to get it from outside!"

"Maybe one of the girls in the Xue family is pregnant..."

Mother Zhou shook her head and said sternly, "I went to ask around, but I didn't hear that any master was pregnant. If it was a servant, why would the servant of Imperial Physician Xue need to go and get it in person? I asked the old shopkeeper one more question, and he said..."

Mother Zhou gritted her teeth and said, "This medicine was actually taken for the family of Minister Chang!"

Lin understood now. She frowned and asked, "Is it for Chang Fei?"

"That's right! Who in the Chang family is pregnant?!"

"Chang Fei said she was pregnant with our brother Hai's child and the pregnancy was only a month old, but the shopkeeper said that the Xue family had been holding the medicine for at least two months!"

Lin's pupils slightly dilated, and her eyes became fierce, "What do you mean?"

"You mean... Chang Fei, that little bitch, is pregnant with a bastard and is blaming Brother Hai for it?"

Mother Zhou slapped her thigh, "That's right! I think back, when Cui asked someone to check Chang Fei's pulse, she said that they were looking for the Xue family, and also said that the Xue family was tight-lipped and would definitely not tell anyone about it! It was probably a scam from the beginning to the end, trying to trick our Brother Hai into being the scapegoat!"

Lin suddenly realized what was going on. She stood up and was about to go find Cui to settle the score. "Damn Cui, how dare you lie to me like this! And that little whore Chang Fei, she actually got pregnant and blamed it on Brother Hai?!"

Mother Zhou stopped Lin and said, "Madam, don't worry. If you go to settle accounts with Cui like this, Cui is cunning and must have thought of a way to deal with us. We have to make a long-term plan. At the very least, we have to find a doctor who knows Chang Fei well and secretly examine him. Once the evidence is solid and it is confirmed that the months don't match, it won't be too late to settle accounts with the Chang family!"

Lin nodded when she heard this. "You're right. I was also very angry. If we just let it go like this, we have no evidence at all. Cui will definitely not admit it!"

Lin looked at Mother Zhou, "Who should we look for then?"

"The doctors in the Imperial Hospital are all related to the Xue family. I don't believe them."

Mother Zhou thought for a moment and said, "If Madam trusts me, I can recommend someone."

"What are you talking about? You are an old man I brought from my mother's family. How can I not trust you? Who do you want to find?"

Mother Zhou pursed her lips and said, "Madam, do you remember the midwife Wang Pozi in the palace? She and I are from the same hometown. Nine out of ten children in the palace were born by her, even Princess Chengqian was born by her! But not long after Princess Huai'an was born, she was released from the palace by Queen Xiaomin and returned to her hometown."

"She came to me recently and said that because her family had suffered a disaster, she had returned to the capital and wanted to find some work. She asked me to introduce her to someone. I think Mrs. Wang is suitable."

Lin frowned, still a little worried. She had always been suspicious and had done too many shameful things. She was always worried that if one of them was exposed, she would be doomed... Especially since Prime Minister Liu's heart had not been with her over the years, she was even more suspicious that Liu Xiang had discovered what happened back then. Over time, her suspicion became more and more serious, to the point where it was simply outrageous.

Mother Zhou had followed Lin for many years, so she certainly understood Lin's thoughts, so she frowned, a hint of sternness flashed across her eyes, "If Madam is worried, this servant can help you!"

"How can you help me?"

"That old lady Wang still has a grandson at home, an only child, who is very precious. If we take her grandson... I believe she will be obedient."

Lin curled her lips, finally satisfied.

In the afternoon, Mother Zhou brought Mrs. Wang to Mrs. Lin. Mrs. Lin scolded Mrs. Wang a few words and then took her to Chang's house.

Chang Fei was vomiting when Cui and Lin came in.

Lin pretended to be distressed and walked towards Chang Fei, "Oh, Fei'er has really suffered."

Chang Fei caught a glimpse of the warning in Cui's eyes, forced a smile, and stood up: "Aunt Lin, how is your makeup..."

Lin immediately gave Wang a look, and Wang quickly moved forward to help Chang Fei and take Chang Fei's pulse. However, Cui was not someone to be trifled with. Seeing this, she quickly stood in front of Wang and asked Lin with a smile, "This woman looks strange. Why haven't I seen her before?"

Lin's eyes slightly stern, but she smiled, "I heard that Fei'er had severe morning sickness, so I, as a mother-in-law, specially found an experienced maid to take a look at Fei'er."

Chang Fei's face turned pale, and she looked at Cui in panic. Cui's smile froze for a moment, and then she said, "Fei'er, look at how thoughtful your future mother-in-law is! You are so lucky, why don't you thank Aunt Lin?"

Chang Fei said weakly: "Thank you for your concern, aunt."

Lin looked at Wang Po and said, "I deserve all this. After all, it was my Hai'er who committed the crime and implicated Fei'er!"

"Mrs. Wang, why don't you show it to Fei'er?"

She looked at Cui again, "Don't worry, sister. This woman is one of us. She won't spread the news and ruin the reputation of our two families."

Cui smiled with her lips but not her heart.

Of course she couldn't let Wang Po take Chang Fei's pulse, wouldn't that reveal everything?

The wedding date is coming soon, she can't afford to cause any trouble.

Cui stood in front of Chang Fei until Mrs. Wang came over. Cui said, "Sister Lin is thoughtful, but it's such a pity. I just got the medicine for Fei'er. The Xue family from the Imperial Hospital said that there is no big problem. Both the child and the adult are fine. Sister Lin, don't worry."
