"You saved my mother, which is a huge favor to me. No matter what you ask, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it."

Unlike his previous rage, the man instantly switched to the calm and composed demeanor of a gentleman. His voice was low and pleasant, and his words, whether apology or thanks, were extremely sincere.

Lin Qing pondered secretly. Everything in the Tang Mansion was decided by the old master Tang in front of him. And based on what the old lady had just said, he guessed that their family had come all the way from Kyoto to this small place of Anping Town for something important to do.

Moreover, this matter was extremely important. For this reason, Mrs. Tang, despite having such a serious inner demon, did not dare to mention a single word to her son.

Then can Master Tang still spare some time to help...

The old lady immediately regained her ladylike demeanor and angrily said, "Xianzhi, aren't you busy with something? Who was so quick to tell you the news?"

Tang Xianzhi said, "Mother, please understand. I heard that Jia Zhengdao was giving out porridge at the City God Temple today. I thought we'd come to Anping Town a long time ago and hadn't done anything for the disaster victims, so I wanted to go and help him."

When Mrs. Tang heard Jia Zhengdao's name, her face looked a little strange.

"Oh, could it be that Jia Zhengdao has clairvoyance and superb hearing, or that he can predict the future, and asked you to come back to see me?"

Tang Xianzhi was a little puzzled by his mother's harshness, but he still replied obediently:

"Mother, listen to me carefully. When I arrived at the City God Temple, I heard refugees gathered in groups of three or five, discussing how the porridge tasted different today, like it had a medicinal flavor. I was afraid someone might have secretly poisoned it, so I split my team into two groups, one to collect the porridge and the other to gather information.

"The person who went to get the news came back soon, saying that the refugees were saying that a goddess had come from heaven to help them. After the goddess healed the dying child with her magical hands, she disappeared without a trace. A moment later, she sent a boy with her to add the medicine to the pot."

After listening to this, Lin suddenly realized.

So the goddess was talking about herself?

This processing and polishing is really a bit exaggerated...

Madam Tang frowned and asked, "Why am I getting more confused the more you talk? What does this have to do with you rushing back?"

"Mother, I naturally don't believe there are any goddesses in the world. After much inquiry, I finally learned that the so-called goddess was just an ordinary refugee. She left because she wanted to take her two children to have breakfast.

"Later, I followed the trail to the breakfast stall, and the owner there said that the three women were intercepted by Shopkeeper Qian's apprentice. I followed the trail and ended up at Qian's Preserved Fruit Shop."

Tang Xianzhi's voice rose slightly. "I went to the preserves shop to inquire about the so-called goddess's drug, but I didn't expect to find out that she had been taken back to the Tang Mansion by Butler Liu. Should I thank you for your understanding, Changhong?"

Butler Liu was almost bent like a shrimp and hurriedly apologized.

Lin Qing was a little frightened when he heard this.

She thought she had been secretive enough, but she didn't expect that Mr. Tang would find it so difficult to detect!

Instantly, she had an idea of ​​Mr. Tang's career—

The imperial envoy who came to Anping Town secretly to investigate!

Since he is so observant and has such decisive measures when getting things done, he must be a good partner worthy of trust.

Although he is not familiar with his temperament for the time being, Lin Qing is very sure that he must develop him into his ally!

Only then did Mrs. Tang, who was actually listening to the story, suddenly understand.

"Oh, so, little medical officer, you not only saved me, but also benefited so many people! You deserve to be called a goddess!"

Lin Qing quickly stood up and said, "How could I possibly deserve such praise from you!"

When Tang Xianzi heard Lin Qing's voice sound so young, he couldn't help but exclaimed.

When Tang Xianzi saw the appearance of the woman in front of him clearly, his expression almost got out of control.

He had never imagined that the medical officer who could cure his mother's chronic illness and make her eat on her own initiative, and who was widely circulated among the refugees as a goddess who had performed miracles, would be such a young girl!

He had thought she would be an elderly woman with white hair, well-maintained, cunning eyes, and a knack for scheming...

What surprised him even more was that the other person had a pretty face. Even a coarse linen dress and no makeup could hardly hide this stunning face.

Her facial features are delicate and distinct, especially her clear and bright eyes, which are clearly black and white, and shimmering with light, which can make people fall in love with her at first sight.

Her eyebrows are curved like the moon, her eyelashes are thick and long, and her lips are slightly upturned, as if she is always smiling.

Although she is a little petite, she is not timid at all. Her whole body has a pure and extraordinary temperament, and she really looks like a god who has descended to earth.

The only flaw is that her skin is a little sallow, unlike the smooth and creamy skin of the women in Beijing.

Even so, among the hundreds of beautiful and graceful girls he had seen, none of them pale in comparison to the one before him.

Lin Qing was also surprised by Tang Xianzi in front of her.

She thought that this ruthless and ruthless Mr. Tang would be a middle-aged man with a big belly, fat head and big ears like the owner of the candied fruit shop, but unexpectedly he was a young man in his early twenties.

He has an upright posture and an indifferent expression. He is wearing a green robe with green bamboo embroidered on the corners. There is no other accessories except a piece of emerald green jade pendant of excellent quality hanging around his waist. However, he looks even more aloof and indifferent, and does not follow the crowd around him, which complements his modest gentlemanly demeanor.

Coupled with his arrogant attitude of being either rich or noble, and being out of touch with the world, it is obvious at a glance that he is not a native of Anping Town.

Lin Qing became more and more certain of his guess.

He must be an official secretly sent by Kyoto to investigate some secret and important matter!

Seeing that the two seemed to be surprised by each other's looks, the old lady looked at them with satisfaction, then coughed pretentiously to bring their senses back to their senses.

Only then did Tang Xianzi realize how rude his behavior was to stare at the strange girl without blinking, and he quickly apologized.

"It is my fault that I was rude. I never expected that such a young lady could achieve such remarkable medical skills. To be honest, I have consulted many famous doctors in Anping Town to treat my mother's illness, but none of them were effective. I wonder where you live? I will prepare a thank-you gift and personally deliver it to your door."

Lin listened to him addressing her as 'girl', praising her as unique in the world, and thinking back to his astonished look just now, she naturally understood his subtext.

I just want to tease myself.

After thinking for a moment, she left the address of Songshi Village.

When Tang Xianzhi heard that she was from Songsi Village, his expression froze for a moment, but he quickly adjusted himself and bowed, saying:

"Although Songsi Village is small, it has nearly a hundred households. Miss, please tell us your name. If we can't find your house, we can ask others.

"There's one more question I'm asking. Do you live with your parents, or are you married? Please forgive me, I'm just worried that if I come to thank you and you happen to be out, who will be able to pass on the message?"

Lin Qing frowned unconsciously.

The Tang Xianzi in front of her was extremely polite in his words, but he looked like he was interrogating a prisoner, which made her inexplicably feel a little resistant.

Without waiting for Lin Qing to reply, the old lady interrupted her son with a look of displeasure on her face, angrily saying, "Xianzhi, this man is my lifesaver, don't torture me with your tactics!"

Torture?

Lin Qing understood. No wonder this Mr. Tang always had such a cold aura.

Seeing the tension between the mother and son, Lin Qing hurriedly said with a smile to ease the atmosphere, "It's okay. I was inconsiderate and didn't introduce them in advance. My surname is Lin, and my courtesy name is Qing. Mr. Tang, please rest assured that if I'm not at home, my son will receive me."

When Tang Xianzi heard that she was already married and had a child, a look of regret unconsciously appeared on his face and he couldn't help but sigh.

Old Madam Tang rarely saw her son lose his composure like this, and she knew exactly what he was thinking.

But instead of stopping it, she was even a little excited inside.

The reason, of course, was that her son was obviously a handsome man, not young at all, and the number of matchmakers in the capital who wanted to propose to him almost broke down the Tang residence, but he was absorbed in the affairs of the court. Every time someone asked him about it, he would say, "How can a grown man get married when he hasn't established his career yet?"

After being evaded so many times, Madam Tang angrily said, "What do you mean by establishing a career? He could have relied on his ancestors' kindness, or at least I could have gotten a lucrative position by begging at the palace. Why does he insist on doing it all on his own? Isn't this a slap in my face?!"
