Lin Yiwan said, "You? Who?"

Qin Xuanshu frowned and replied, "My name is Qin Xuanshu, and I'm the eldest daughter of the Qin family!"

Lin Yiwan looked at her carefully and found that although this woman was old, she was still dressed like a girl and was obviously not married yet.

Qin Jinjin quickly introduced: "Madam Hou, my aunt is the eldest disciple of He Xiangu of the Suchuan Taoist Temple. She came to the capital to pray for the new emperor!"

Although Lin Yiwan had never heard of the He Xiangu of the Suchuan Taoist Temple, she guessed that she must be very famous.

Otherwise, the old lady of the Qin family would not be so arrogant.

She said in a distant tone, "As a disciple of the Taoist school, you should be kind and compassionate, instead of being arrogant and blaming others without knowing right from wrong!"

Qin Xuanshu frowned and looked at her: "Why don't I know right from wrong?"

Lin Yiwan spoke slowly, "If you weren't deaf, you should be very clear that this old lady from your Qin family was disrespectful to me first, right?"

This sentence immediately made Qin Xuanshu and Qin Jinjin look very unhappy!

In fact, they did hear it, but they subconsciously didn't want to care.

Because they wanted to intimidate Lin Yiwan and let her know that the Qin family was not so easy to mess with.

In the end, it was Qin Jinjin who smoothed things over again: "Madam Hou, don't be angry. The old nanny is new here and doesn't know the rules. It's her fault. I'll ask her to apologize to you!"

Lin Yiwan quickly waved her hand. "No need. My father heard that Madam Qin had contracted a serious illness and immediately urged me to come and see her. I didn't expect him to worry too much. This maid is still able to make trouble, and Miss Qin can stand here and argue with me. It's enough to prove that she is fine. Farewell!"

Seeing that she was about to turn around and leave, Qin Jinjin's expression suddenly changed.

If she let Lin Yiwan leave like this, the rumor that the Qin family was deliberately making things difficult for her would quickly spread throughout the capital.

The Qin family cannot arouse public anger!

She quickly caught up with her and said, "Madam Hou, my grandmother is indeed unwell. She just took a nap because of the medicine. She didn't mean to trick you into coming here!"

Qin Xuanshu also spoke up: "Since you're here, how can you leave without paying us a visit? Or do you simply not take our Qin Mansion seriously?"

Lin Yiwan sarcastically said, "Old Miss Qin, please speak with integrity. If I didn't take your Qin family seriously, would I have waited so long at the gate of the inn? The people have sharp eyes, they can testify for me!"

The onlookers immediately chimed in, "Yes, we saw with our own eyes that the Marquis' wife had been waiting at the entrance of the inn for a full hour. She even took the time to diagnose and prescribe medicine for several people who were feeling unwell. You, old lady of the Qin family, please don't accuse the Marquis of any crime!"

Qin Xuanshu was almost furious. She never expected that she would get such an ugly nickname, the Old Miss of the Qin Family, just after arriving in the capital!

She was so angry that her teeth were itching, but she didn't dare to get angry in public.

At this moment, an old maid ran over with a grim expression and said, "Reporting to the young lady, the old lady has woken up, but she is suffering from severe chest pain. She asked you to quickly invite the Marquis' wife in!"

Qin Jinjin quickly said, "Madam Hou, my grandmother is sick again. Can you please go and see her?"

Her tone was humble and she looked weak and helpless.

Lin Yiwan didn't really want to leave. She just wanted to tell the Qin family that she was not someone who could be summoned and dismissed at will.

Since the Qin family compromised and gave her a way out, she decided to quit while she was ahead.

Otherwise, you will really be criticized.

She turned around and said, "Okay, then I'll go see Old Madam Qin!"

When she was brought into the inner room, she saw a pale old lady leaning on a couch, her hands pressed against her heart, her lips a horrifying dark blue.

Qin Jinjin was the first to be frightened. She cried and shouted, "Grandma, Grandma, how are you?"

Lin Yiwan quickly stopped her: "Don't rush over to her yet, give her some space so she can breathe!"

As she spoke, she quickly undressed Old Madam Qin.

She found the acupuncture point, took out the silver needle and inserted it without hesitation.

Qin Xuanshu stopped him sternly: "What are you doing?"

Lin Yiwan frowned and glared at her: "Didn't you ask me to come and see the doctor? Now that the old lady is sick, you won't let me treat her. Could it be that you, the Qin family, are deliberately pretending to be sick to fool people?"

Qin Xuanshu bit her lip hard, and a fierce struggle flashed in her eyes.

Madam Qin forced herself to speak: "Madam Hou, don't bother with Xuan Shu. She cares about me too much, so she doesn't trust anyone. Just use the needle directly. I can bear it!"

Lin Yiwan nodded and raised her hand to drop the needle.

After about a cup of tea, Madam Qin's complexion gradually recovered and the black spots on her lips disappeared completely.

When Lin Yiwan took out the needle, Old Madam Qin subconsciously let out a long breath.

She said happily, "Madam Hou's medical skills are indeed superb. I actually feel that breathing has become much easier!"

Lin Yiwan said calmly, "Since the old lady was so ill, why did she bother traveling all the way back to Beijing? I bet you used up a lot of Danshen on the journey, didn't you?"

The smile on Madam Qin's face disappeared in an instant. She never expected that Lin Yiwan could see through it at a glance.

After a moment's silence, she spoke again: "Madam Hou is wise. I know my time is up, so I want to return to my homeland. Suchuan is too cold. I don't want to die and freeze to death there!"

Qin Jinjin burst into tears immediately: "Grandma, please don't say such things. You still have many years to live. You have to see your granddaughter get married!"

Madam Qin said lovingly, "Of course I want to see you get married. Don't worry, the climate in the capital is better than that in Suchuan. I can still live a few more months. If you don't believe me, just ask Madam Hou!"

Lin Yiwan didn't shy away from the question. She nodded and said, "The old lady is right. The temperature in the capital is neither too hot nor too cold, which is good for your health. But you still need to take good care of yourself and stop getting angry. Most importantly, don't force yourself to get sick, otherwise, you'll lose several more days of your life!"

Old Madam Qin was shocked all over, her eyes widened in shock, staring at Lin Yiwan.

Qin Xuanshu also quickly realized what was happening. She angrily asked, "What do you mean? How could my mother force herself to become ill?"

Lin Yiwan narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Ask Old Madam Qin, she should know the inside story!"

Madam Qin said helplessly, "Madam Hou is extremely intelligent. I still couldn't hide it from you. You are right. I forced the disease to happen. Otherwise, how could I have kept you here?"

Lin Yiwan raised an eyebrow and looked at her: "I don't know why Madam Qin insisted that I come here? You just returned to the capital, shouldn't the person you should see first be the new emperor? He's your great-grandson!"

Madam Qin looked at Qin Xuanshu and Qin Jinjin and said, "You two should step back first!"
