Qing Zhu, who was serving beside her, hesitated to speak. Old Madam Tang looked at her strange expression and said with a hint of displeasure, "Just say whatever you want to say. You've been with me for so long, don't you know my temper?"
Qing Zhu knelt on the ground hurriedly and stammered, "Madam, maybe it's not that the master doesn't want to get married, but that he doesn't have, or doesn't like, women..."
Old Madam Tang was horrified: "Ah?!"
Afterwards, Tang Xianzi was left speechless by his mother's tearful questioning.
She actually asked herself if she was gay!
Tang Xianzi was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, but seeing his mother's heartbroken look, in order to resolve her wild worries, Tang Xianzi had to replace all the servants who served him closely, and there was no longer any man under the age of 30 around him.
Butler Liu also came to the Tang Mansion at that time.
Just when Old Madam Tang thought that he would change his ways and go on blind dates, Tang Xianzi actually lived in the yamen for half a year.
It was for this reason that when he came to tell her that he was going to Anping Town to help the emperor solve his problems, Old Lady Tang strongly requested to come with him.
She had a feeling that this trip would solve her son's lifelong problem, and now it turned out to be true!
How could she not be happy that her son was so devoted to Lin Qing?
It's just a pity that my son faced such a dilemma when he fell in love for the first time.
For the sake of her son, she can't just sit back and watch, she has to do something!
Although Old Madam Tang was of noble birth, she had no prejudice against social status. As long as Xianzhi liked her and the two were suitable, she would accept her even if she was the daughter of a butcher or a merchant.
Not to mention a good girl like Lin Qing.
What matters right now is whether his son still has a chance.
If Doctor Lin can get a divorce, then she will wait until she returns to Beijing and go to the palace to ask the Empress Dowager to grant Lin Qing an identity. This way, they can be a match made in heaven and the gossips of others can be stopped. It's the best of both worlds!
The more the old lady thought about it, the better she felt this method was, and she couldn't help laughing out loud.
Old Madam Tang smiled and said, "Hey, Xianzhi is still sensible! I blame myself for forgetting to ask Miss Lin's name! I wonder which clinic in town Miss Lin practices at? Your medical skills are so superb, why have I never heard of your name before?"
Without waiting for Lin Qing's reply, Madam Tang asked herself, "Oh, could it be that your husband's family is the Xinglin family that lives in seclusion in Songsi Village?"
Tang Xianzi looked at his mother gratefully.
"No wonder! But if Miss Lin continues to live in seclusion, it would be a waste of her talent. How about this, which clinic in town would you like to go to? I can recommend it to you! After all, there are always people in our mansion who suffer from headaches and fevers, and my mother's illness also requires your care. It would be much more convenient if you lived in town."
Lin listened to the mother and son singing the same tune and arranging their own future perfectly, and hurriedly refused.
"I'm afraid I'll disappoint the old lady and Mr. Tang. I don't come from a family of doctors, and my husband is just an ordinary person like me. As for why I suddenly became a doctor, it's actually a coincidence. It's because of the help of my husband's spirit."
Butler Liu was very smart and naturally heard that his master and the old lady wanted to get close to Lin Qing, so he explained her background briefly.
The more Tang Xianzi and Old Madam Tang listened, the wider their eyes opened, and they looked at Lin Qing with eyes full of admiration.
Old Madam Tang was extremely surprised: "Miss Lin is so amazing! No wonder, no wonder those refugees call you a goddess!"
Tang Xianzi was better informed than his mother, and had heard about the God's messenger in Songsi Village. In order to achieve his goal, he had thought about whether he could use the identity of the God's messenger.
He was originally thinking about how to approach this person, but he didn't expect that she was so far away and yet so close at hand.
Or the woman he has a crush on.
Tang Xianzhi's heart was filled with inexplicable emotions, and he sighed, "I'm really blind and self-deprecating. I didn't expect that the girl is the living immortal. If that's the case, you definitely don't need my help."
Lin Qing didn't want to discuss this topic any further, but he still had a backup plan.
"There's no rush for this matter. The old lady just woke up and needs more rest. I have something to tell you about her condition. Please follow me."
Of course, she didn't come simply to inquire about the old lady's illness, but more to take the opportunity to ask Tang Xianzi about his real purpose in coming to Anping Town.
The three of them walked out of the room and came to the small pavilion in the courtyard.
The courtyard is full of flowers, and there are several fish swimming leisurely in the pond under the pavilion. If it were not for the hot wind blowing on your face, you would doubt whether this is Anping Town.
Tang Xianzhi was about to ask Butler Liu to bring hot tea and snacks when he heard Lin Qing ask directly, "Master Tang is so busy with official duties. Has he ever paid any attention to the old lady?"
Tang Xianzi was stunned.
He was rarely treated with such humiliation. Under normal circumstances, he would have been furious, but when Lin Qing questioned him like this, he only felt ashamed.
"Well, Miss Yilin, could it be that Mother's loss of appetite isn't simply due to old age, but rather something else entirely?"
Lin Qing sighed, showing a very embarrassed expression, but his tone was slightly sarcastic.
"I really don't know what you, Master Tang, have been so busy with in such a small town like Anping that you didn't even care about the misfortune that befell your own mother in the Jia Mansion."
Tang Xianzhi became increasingly confused. He looked at Housekeeper Liu, who was increasingly afraid to raise his head. He tried to suppress his anger and said through gritted teeth, "Miss Lin, please tell me what that bastard Jia Zhengdao did to my mother."
Seeing his reaction, Lin Qing felt slightly relieved.
"This is a serious matter, and it's your family affair, so let Butler Liu explain it. I have to go to the preserves shop to pick up the children, so I won't bother you for now."
Butler Liu gave his master an indescribable look, and Tang Xianzi had to say goodbye to Lin Qing with some regret.
"In that case, I won't force Miss Lin to stay. But there's one thing I need to trouble you with."
Tang Xianzhi felt a little embarrassed and said, "Mother had a very pleasant conversation with Miss Lin today. I'm afraid she will have to invite you to her house more often in the future. Please don't refuse."
Butler Liu quickly added, "Miss Lin, please rest assured. We will calculate the consultation fee according to the doctor's standard at Jishitang, which is five taels of silver per consultation."
Five taels? !
Lin Qing almost dropped his jaw in shock.
Is it so easy to make money from wealthy families?
Lin Qing tried hard to calm down. Hearing Tang Xianzi say this, she knew that she had successfully secured a long-term meal ticket at the Tang family.
The first small goal has been achieved!
She chose not to stay today in order to test Tang Xianzi's attitude after knowing the truth. Although she could roughly infer from the few words just now that he also hated the Jia family, she still had to confirm whether he would keep quiet as the old lady expected, or would become their help in eradicating the Jia family.
I hope Tang Xianzhi won't let her down...
Tang Xianzhi was a little dissatisfied with Butler Liu's talkativeness, fearing that he would talk nonsense again when he saw Lin Qing off. However, he had some important matters to deal with, so he could only say, "Old Liu, go see Miss Lin off, and come back quickly after you're done."
[Ding, the hidden mission "Benevolence and Benevolence" has been opened, and you have obtained 1 piece of evidence from the Jia Mansion.]
The sudden sound made Lin Qing's heart tremble. She hurriedly opened the newly added items in the [Books-Tasks] category in the storage space, and was surprised to find that the records were not pure text, but both text and pictures.
The bloody and terrifying level is rising sharply.
What made her even sadder was...
The girl in the picture looks a bit like Yu Jia.
It seems that the deceased that Mrs. Tang saw was Xiao Wan.
Lin Qing clenched her fists and pinched her thighs, trying to stay calm so that others would not notice her loss of composure.
Although she felt extremely disgusted, she still looked carefully at every face in the picture.
I've got you in mind, be prepared to pay the price!
On the way out of the house, Butler Liu and Lin Qing were both silent. Seeing the large screen wall right in front of them, Butler Liu couldn't help but beg Lin Qing to prescribe some more medicine.
"Butler Liu, it's not that I'm trying to shirk responsibility, but I'm simply not familiar with pharmacology. If the old lady's condition is delayed, neither you nor I can afford it. The old lady's health needs to be slowly recuperated, and seeking help from an experienced Chinese doctor is the safest way. Of course, if you need my help, feel free to ask me for it."
Butler Liu had no choice but to agree in disappointment. Thinking that the master was still waiting for him to return, he waved his hand and called the servant who had been following him, saying, "Thank you, Miss Lin. Please accept the consultation fee this time."
When Butler Liu lifted the cloth covering the tray, Lin Qing was shocked to find two large ingots of silver inside!
