The little girl cried tremblingly: "I'm sorry, sister, I got you into trouble!"

Zi'er reached out and rubbed the top of her head, and said two words gently: "Don't be afraid!"

The big man lying on the ground trembled all over, it turned out that he was not the little mute.

He gritted his teeth and said, "What are you still wasting time on? Quickly take them all down! If anyone dares to hurt me, I won't let any of them go!"

Just as the thugs were about to attack, Lin Yiwan suddenly spoke up, "How dare you! I want to see who dares to touch anyone from our Zhan Yihou Mansion!"

She was so powerful that all the thugs froze in place with just one sentence.

He is actually from the Zhan Yihou Mansion?

It’s really a narrow road for enemies!

The big man had been helped up by the shopkeeper at this time. Although his wound had been treated simply, blood was still oozing out.

He forced himself to speak: "So what if they are from the Zhan Yi Marquis Mansion? It's none of your business to interfere in the affairs of Huichun Hall!"

Lin Yiwan said calmly, "This isn't Huichuntang's business, it's the business of the people of the entire capital. You, Huichuntang, have disregarded human life, causing the patient to lose everything, and even trying to take their daughter away. In broad daylight, under the feet of the Emperor, you, Huichuntang, are slapping the Emperor in the face!"

The big man was so frightened that he quickly denied it: "Stop talking nonsense! How could we, Huichuntang, slap the emperor in the face?"

Lin Yiwan demanded harshly, "The Emperor loves his people like his own children. These people are his responsibility, but what about you? You are so wantonly killing them. How could this not be a slap in his face?"

Cold sweat immediately broke out on the big man's forehead, and he didn't know whether it was because of the pain or fear.

He subconsciously retorted, "We didn't. It was clearly this mother and daughter who were greedy and wanted to blackmail Huichuntang. Her husband contracted a fatal illness and died, yet they're trying to demand a hefty burial fee!"

The woman wept and shook her head, "No, my dear, my husband used to be strong and healthy, but suddenly he became weak all over. I brought him to Huichun Hall to get medicine, but he didn't get any better after taking dozens of doses. He even suddenly fell into a coma and died!"

Lin Yiwan pressed the issue, "Did you ask the coroner to perform an autopsy?"

The woman nodded hurriedly: "We've examined him, and they only say that he died of organ damage. It has nothing to do with the medicine prescribed by Huichuntang!"

Lin Yiwan curled the corners of her lips in sarcasm. This statement was too vague. Since he specifically pointed out that it had nothing to do with Huichuntang, it meant that he must have accepted benefits.

After all, Huichuntang has an extraordinary background, and no one wants to offend the royal family, right?

She said calmly, "Do you still have the herbal recipe your husband drank?"

The woman nodded hurriedly: "I have not only the prescription, but also the residue. I have them all with me. Please take a look!"

She handed the thing wrapped in brocade cloth to Lin Yiwan with a respectful attitude.

After careful identification, Lin Yiwan found that this was a very simple prescription for treating typhoid fever.

She frowned and said quickly, "Zi'er, open the coffin lid. I want to check the body!"

Ling'er quickly ran forward: "I'll help you!"

The two of them worked together to remove the coffin lid.

Even though the man died of a serious illness, and even though his clothes were very simple, his skin was very clean, which was enough to show that the woman had washed him properly.

Lin Yiwan reached out and flipped over his eyelids, and saw that they were severely swollen, and there was even a layer of light yellow under his eyes.

She turned to look at the woman and asked, "Did anything unusual happen during the time your husband was seriously ill?"

The woman frowned and couldn't answer, but the little girl next to her timidly said, "Daddy keeps drinking water. His stomach is as big as a drum, but he still keeps asking for more!"

The woman nodded hurriedly: "That's right, he still can't defecate normally, and he rolls back and forth on the bed in pain every time!"

A hint of coldness suddenly flashed in Lin Yiwan's eyes. Huichuntang was indeed taking people's lives lightly. She originally had diabetes, and the prescription for typhoid fever was making her condition worse.

This is totally the wrong medicine!

She quickly reminded him, "Go to the government and file a complaint. Just say that your husband died due to a misdiagnosis by Huichuntang. Let the government make a judgment on your case!"

The owner of Huichuntang suddenly had a complicated and ugly expression on his face. He subconsciously tried to stop him, "Wait, you said it was a misdiagnosis? Who are you?"

Lin Yiwan interrupted without hesitation: "Because my grandfather is the best doctor in the dynasty!"

Just one sentence made the shopkeeper dare not say a word. Doctor Lin was a leading medical doctor of the time.

Who dares to question him?

Lin Yiwan didn't hesitate and quickly urged, "Carry the coffin to the government office. I'll go with you. I want to see what the coroner will come up with after re-examining the body!"

Seeing that everyone was about to leave, the shopkeeper was scared to death.

A hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes. He must not send the body to the government, otherwise Huichuntang's reputation of taking human life lightly would be confirmed.

Without further hesitation, he quickly ordered his confidants: "Hurry up, stop the body and ignore that nosy bitch!"

The henchman nodded quickly and without hesitation rushed towards the coffin with his thugs.

"Bang!" Zi'er kicked them away one after another.

Seeing that the two sides were already fighting, the shopkeeper quickly took out a bottle of kerosene and poured it directly on the coffin.

Just as he was about to throw the tinder, the little girl suddenly bit his wrist.

"Ah!" The shopkeeper screamed and tried to shake her off, but the little girl didn't let go even though her head was bleeding.

She didn't retreat until the tinder fell to the ground and went out.

Lin Yiwan kicked the shopkeeper to his knees beside the coffin. When he saw the corpse inside, he was so scared that he peed his pants.

He kowtowed repeatedly and said, "I didn't mean to harm you. Who made your daughter be chosen by our young master?"

Lin Yiwan quickly grabbed his clothes and asked, "Which young master of the Mei family are you talking about? What's his name?"

Before the shopkeeper could answer, a sharp silver needle pierced his throat.

He fell backwards to the ground, his eyes wide open.

Lin Yiwan turned her head and looked over to the distance. She saw a man in a long gown walking quickly towards her. He spoke gently, "The evil servant of the family has caused trouble. I am late, Mei. Please forgive me, Madam!"

She raised her eyebrows and said sarcastically, "Young Master, you're not too late. You arrived just in time to silence him when he was about to tell the truth!"

Master Mei didn't deny it either. He stopped the fight without hesitation. He bowed to everyone and said, "I will definitely give everyone an explanation on this matter. The shopkeeper is already dead, so it can be considered a life for a life. As for you, the victim, I will give you three thousand taels of silver for your burial expenses!"
