On the third day of the Flower Goddess Festival, the government has not yet tracked down the suspect who caused the stage collapse, and the real culprit who drugged Master Xia and Young Master Xia has not yet been found.

Hua Murong arranged for Hua Bei and two secret guards to stay and continue the investigation, while the others planned to set off again the next morning.

Before leaving, Yan Yiyi felt it necessary to say goodbye to Miss Lin, so she made an appointment to meet her at a teahouse.

Miss Lin looked at Yan Yiyi in shock: "What!? You...are leaving Gaohuai County?"

"Well, I said before, we are just passing by."

"Then..." Miss Lin knew that it was inappropriate for her to say this, but after Doctor Yan left, where should Yu Feng find her if he wanted to get rid of the poison?

“Before the Lantern Festival next year, I will be in Sand City. You can go to the Flower Medicine Pavilion in Sand City and leave a letter for the shopkeeper. I will meet you after I get the news.

But if you miss this time, my whereabouts will be uncertain, and you will have to find another way to find me then."

"You... won't come to Gaohuai County again?"

Yan Yiyi shook her head: "I might pass by, but I'm not sure when. It's impossible for me to never walk this road in my life." As she said that, she glanced at Miss Lin meaningfully.

She is waiting to see what choice Miss Lin will make in the end!

Miss Lin clenched the handkerchief in her hand, and finally sighed helplessly in the letter. It was not that she was unwilling to ask Doctor Yan to detoxify Yu Feng, but she couldn't do it because it would alert the enemy.

Once the enemy in the dark discovers Yu Feng's antidote, who knows if he will directly give Yu Feng a fatal poison?

"Oh, by the way, I'll prepare some medicinal tea for you. Drinking a cup of medicinal tea every day can help alleviate the worsening of Young Master Xia's poison. Once the poison gets worse, even if I detoxify him in the future, the child he gives birth to will be born weak."

Yan Yiyi took out two cans of tea that she had prepared in advance. These were the tea that Xin Ye had roasted in the space last night.

"Just drink one cup after dinner. One can is enough for him to drink until the beginning of next spring." Yan Yiyi pushed the can forward. "It's a good deal. Two hundred taels."

Miss Lin was stunned for a moment, then reacted and took out her purse and handed it to Yan Yiyi. Yan Yiyi opened it and took out a stack of silver bills, from which she took out two hundred taels of silver bills, and then threw the purse back to Miss Lin: "Now, the silver and goods are paid, thank you for your patronage."

Miss Lin opened her mouth, swallowed back the words that had persuaded her to accept it, and changed her words to: "Thank you, Doctor Yan."

After talking about the serious business, and since the two of them didn't have much personal relationship, Yan Yiyi just said goodbye and left.

Miss Lin sighed deeply and took two cans of tea back to the Lin Mansion.

Young Master Xia has been living in the Lin Residence since he left with Miss Lin. Seeing her worried look, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Madam, has anything happened?"

Miss Lin placed two cans of tea on the stone table beside her and sat down on the stone bench: "Dr. Yan will leave tomorrow..."

She told Young Master Xia about her conversation with Yan Yiyi in the teahouse.

After hearing this, Young Master Xia was startled at first, but soon regained his composure, smiled and comforted Miss Lin: "Isn't there still time?

No matter what the situation is, we will rush to Sand City before the Lantern Festival to find Doctor Yan to detoxify me first. After that, I will take you to the capital to take part in the Spring Examination. If you can pass the exam, we will live our own lives. If not, I will take you away with me on the pretext of studying abroad. We will not return home until Dad catches the person behind the scenes.

If I pass the exam and my superiors arrange for me to take up a local position, would you be willing to go with me?

I know the life there is very tough, but I don't want to be separated from my wife. I can't promise anything, but I will try my best to prevent my wife from suffering for me. Are you willing to go with me?"

"Of course I am willing." Miss Lin agreed with a smile without thinking.

"Well, please ask my father-in-law to invite my father to your house to have a chat in the evening. The Xia Mansion is not safe, and we cannot let others know about our affairs, otherwise we may encounter danger on the road."

Miss Lin had a happy smile on her face: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Young Master Xia's heart softened and a beautiful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Master Xia suddenly received a message from his relatives-in-law. He was a little confused at first, but he heard the servant finally reminded him in a low voice that it was Master Lin who wanted to discuss something and it was not appropriate for him to come as a guest at the mansion, so he could only ask him to go there.

Mr. Xia agreed and sighed helplessly in his heart. He was also an old father with a daughter, and he thought that he did not love his daughter as much as Mr. Lin did. He thought that if it was his daughter who was treated like this in her husband's family, he would not be able to bear it, let alone Mr. Lin?

Therefore, he did not feel ashamed when his daughter-in-law went back to her parents' home and his son went to live with his father-in-law to appease his wife and parents-in-law. Instead, he was very pleased that his son did not care about his so-called face, sincerely ask for forgiveness, and take on the responsibilities of a husband.

If his son divorced his daughter-in-law for the sake of face, he would truly look down on his son. After all, the fault was not his daughter-in-law's, it had always been the Xia family's fault.

As for the person who caused the current situation, his wife has been confined to her house. The confinement is not a punishment on his part, but mainly to show his attitude to his in-laws. He will then conduct a thorough investigation and, after the investigation is clear, he will deal with her according to the crime she has committed.

In the evening, Mr. Xia went to the Lin family for dinner as promised. After dinner, Mr. Lin invited Mr. Xia and Mr. Xia to the study to talk.

Mr. Lin didn't know what his son-in-law wanted to say, but after hearing his eldest daughter's request in the afternoon, he ordered someone to do it.

Young Master Xia: "Today, Doctor Yan and Hui'er met and said goodbye. They will leave Gaohuai County early tomorrow morning. It is uncertain when they will come to Gaohuai County again, and their whereabouts will be unknown after the Lantern Festival next year. So, Dad, it is urgent to find the person behind the scenes."

Master Xia was shocked: "What!? She will leave tomorrow! Then our poison...my poison doesn't matter, I'm already this old anyway, and it's not fatal. But you, Feng'er..."

"Hui'er and I have discussed this..." Young Master Xia told the two fathers everything he had discussed with Miss Lin in the afternoon.

Master Lin stroked his mustache and nodded, "Yu Feng's idea is very good. In order not to alert the enemy, we need to make arrangements in advance. You should leave for Sand City a month later, no, half a month later. Otherwise, the weather will be cold in another month. Moreover, Sand City is colder than here. If you are still on the road, it will be difficult to travel."

Master Xia nodded when he heard this: "When the time comes, you can go back to the Xia Mansion and stay for a few days, find a reason to have a quarrel, and then your daughter-in-law will go back to her parents' home, and you can also pack your bags and come over. When the city gate opens the next day, you can leave quietly.

At that time, my in-laws will have to cover up a little more. If they can’t keep it a secret, they will be dissatisfied. Only the four of us know where the two children are going.”

It’s not that he didn’t trust the Lin family, but the fewer people who knew about it, the less threat it would pose to the two children. Master Lin naturally understood what Master Xia meant and nodded in agreement.
