Playing bad and eating melons: The whole court is laughing? No, no

Even though she was mentally prepared, Madam Lin still staggered and almost fainted. Fortunately, her confidante, Nanny Chen, supported her in time.

"Please keep this matter confidential, Doctor Wen."

"Wen Mouding will keep his mouth shut."

Madam Lin glanced at Nanny Chen, who then took out a very heavy-looking purse and stuffed it into Doctor Wen's hand.

Doctor Wen accepted it without much thought, as they would feel uneasy if he didn't accept it.

"See Doctor Wen off."

"Yes, Madam."

After Doctor Wen left, Madam Lin returned to Lin Susu's room. Nanny Wang was sitting beside the bed trying to calm her down.

"Come to my place tonight and take the medicine."

The Lin family has a pharmacy, so they naturally have abortion prescriptions.

In another courtyard, Aunt Sun looked towards Lin Susu's courtyard, gently waving the round fan in her hand.

"Xing'er, go find out what's wrong with the young lady and why she suddenly called a doctor."

Xing Er immediately said, "Auntie Sun, it's not the eldest lady who's sick, it's the eldest young lady's wife who's not feeling well."

"Then why did you go to the eldest girl's yard?"

"It is said that the eldest young lady went to see the eldest young lady, and she felt uncomfortable after sitting for a while."

Aunt Sun frowned and pondered for a moment, "Pay more attention to that side."

***

When Jiang Yueyang came out of Linglong Pavilion, several carriages passed by.

The breeze blew up the curtains of the carriage, revealing the people sitting inside. They were the noble ladies who had previously entered the palace to attend the eldest princess's flower-viewing banquet.

There was a palace maid following each car, which Jiang Yueyang found a bit strange.

At this moment, the carriage at the end suddenly stopped.

Gu Ruo, the granddaughter of the Grand Tutor, poked her head out of the carriage and waved at Jiang Yueyang, "Miss Jiang, could you come over here for a moment?"

Jiang Yueyang walked forward doubtfully.

"My name is Gu Ruo, and I want to be friends with you." The girl smiled sweetly.

Jiang Yueyang was even more confused, "Miss Gu, why do you want to be friends with me?"

"Because you're very beautiful and special, and I like making friends with special people. Let me tell you a secret, we just came out of the palace."

Jiang Yueyang raised her eyebrows slightly and was about to ask them why they came out of the palace.

The palace maid standing next to the carriage said calmly, "Second Miss Gu, we should go back."

Gu Ruo glanced at the palace maid and quickly said, "Miss Jiang, I'll post a message for you. Let's play together then."

Jiang Yueyang smiled at her politely.

Gu Ruo didn't care. He waved at her and put his head back into the carriage.

The carriage went further and further away.

This time, in addition to a few gifts from the Queen, the noble ladies also returned with a palace maid.

Except for the noble ladies and the emperor and empress who stayed in the palace, no one knew the role of the palace maids.

After returning home, the noble ladies simply told their families not to provoke Minister Jiang's daughter, and it was best to walk away if they saw her from a distance.

In addition, they also secretly ask their family members whether they have done anything bad.

If so, stop as soon as possible or write a letter of apology.

Then, some of the noble ladies received a reprimand.

At that time, on the other side, after making inquiries from many sources, Cui Yuan, the secretary of the Dali Temple, finally found the cousin of the Lin family on a flower boat.

After a few drinks, the two became close brothers.

"Brother Cui, you have a good...drinking capacity. I...can't take it anymore!" After saying that, Zhao Quan passed out drunk with a bang.

Cui Yuan pushed Zhao Quan and said, "Brother Zhao, can you hear me? Where is your home? I'll take you back."

Zhao Quan did not respond.

Cui Yuan didn't give up. He glanced around and lowered his voice and asked, "Brother Zhao, do you have any hidden relationship with Lin Susu?"

Zhao Quan hummed twice, but still didn't respond.

Cui Yuan, who had originally wanted to get him drunk to get him to talk, couldn't help but slap him on the head when he saw this. "Tsk! This guy is so useless."

Cui Yuan stood up and prepared to leave, but after taking two steps, he felt so angry that he turned back and kicked Zhao Quan.

In a blink of an eye, the sun was setting, and Jiang Yueyang sat contentedly on the carriage heading home.

Cui Yuan also sat down tiredly at a noodle stall on the roadside. He searched for a long time but found nothing.

"Boss, give me a bowl of noodles..."

"Okay!"

Soon, the noodles are ready.

Cui Yuan picked up the chopsticks and was about to eat noodles, but he heard whispers behind him.

"Hey, have you heard? Minister Lin's eldest granddaughter is pregnant."

"When did it happen? Who told you that?"

"That's what Mrs. Wu from Plum Blossom Lane said today."

"How did Mrs. Wu know that?"

"How should I know? She seems to have heard it from others."

"Is it fake? I've seen the eldest granddaughter of Minister Lin's family. She doesn't look like that kind of promiscuous girl."

"There's no smoke without fire, and I saw the servants of the Lin Mansion go to Baicaotang to ask for a doctor today."

"Calling a doctor doesn't mean anything. Who hasn't had a headache or a fever?"

"Believe it or not, it's spreading everywhere now."

"Come on, stop eating, let's go and ask if it's true."

The women left in a hurry, and Cui Yuan quickly finished his noodles and continued his investigation.

Lin House.

Aunt Sun's maid Xing'er ran into the yard, panting, "Aunt Sun, my mother just asked me if the eldest lady was..."

At this point, Xing'er paused, then leaned closer to Aunt Sun and whispered, "She asked me if the young lady was pregnant, and she also said that there are rumors out there that the young lady is having an affair."

Aunt Sun's eyes suddenly widened, and then she became visibly excited.

"So that's how it is. I was wondering why you suddenly called a doctor. I didn't expect that the young lady, who usually appears to be so chaste, is actually... hehe." Aunt Sun laughed so hard that her shoulders trembled.

As the sun and moon alternate, the streets are deserted and the entire capital is shrouded in silence.

The vermilion door was closed tightly, and the gold paint on the door knocker gleamed faintly in the moonlight.

The inner courtyard separated by a wall appears calm, but in fact there are undercurrents.

Nanny Chen came to the pharmacy of the Lin Mansion, which was run by a manager and two servants who had some knowledge of pharmacology.

When the three saw Nanny Chen coming, they all stood up and greeted her.

Nanny Chen said, "Young Madam is not feeling well. I'm here to get some medicine."

"What medicine does Nanny Chen need? I'll ask them to get it for you."

"No, go ahead and do your own thing. I can catch it myself."

When the manager heard this, he knew that they shouldn't listen, ask, or look at this moment.

"Then you get busy." The steward smiled ingratiatingly and then said to the two servants, "You two go collect the herbs that are drying outside."

There are no medicinal herbs outside. It's just an excuse for the manager to get people away.

The two servants were also smart people. They responded and went out.

When Nanny Chen saw that the three of them had left, she was about to get some medicine when she heard Aunt Sun's voice from outside the door.
