Zhan Yan immediately got straight to the point and asked, "Did your master ever tell you that there's still a descendant of the Qiu family alive? Who is she?"
Zener seemed to be very disgusted with this question. Her brows were tightly furrowed and her expression was very painful.
Doctor Lin was worried that she would suddenly wake up, so he immediately inserted the needle a little deeper.
Chan'er answered almost without hesitation, "She was the concubine of the head of the Qiu family. Because she came from a poor family and her social status was not good, the family never allowed her to enter the palace. This saved her life. When the Qiu family encountered misfortune, she happened to be in labor. It is said that she gave birth to a son!"
Zhan Yan immediately asked, "Where is that child now?"
Zener said, "We don't know either. The master was also looking for him, but because he didn't know what the child looked like, he found the great painter Feng Qian. However, he refused to paint, and the master was very angry. He kidnapped his apprentice Sang Qiutang to try to force him to submit!"
Zhan Yan asked in surprise, "The head of the Qiu family is already dead, how can he draw the child's current appearance?"
Zener added, "The patriarch is dead, but the master still kept his portrait. He tried to get Feng Qian to compare it with the patriarch's portrait and guess what the child should look like now!"
Zhan Yan gasped when he heard this. In order to find the bloodline of the Qiu family, Old Qiu Jiang really did everything he could.
Just at this moment, blood suddenly flowed from Zener's eyes.
Doctor Lin was startled. He immediately reminded: "Zhan Yan, don't ask any more questions, otherwise, she will die!"
Zhan Yan quickly said, "Grandfather can't die now, we have to get the silver needle quickly!"
Doctor Lin quickly did as he was told, and Chaner fainted on the bed.
When she woke up, she felt a splitting headache.
She looked at Zhan Yan in surprise: "Zhan Yihou, you, what did you do to me?"
Zhan Yan looked at her coldly: "Don't you remember? Doctor Lin said your blood vessels are severely congested, and he used acupuncture to clear them for you!"
Chaner really couldn't remember anything. She just felt like someone hit her on the back of the head with a club, and the pain was so severe that it felt like she was about to explode.
She said aggrievedly, "My Lord, Chan'er is so badly injured now. It's inconvenient for me to stay in the inn. Could you please be kind enough to let me stay in the Marquis' Mansion?"
Zhan Yan said, "To tell you the truth, I can't make the decision. Even if you are my savior, I can't take you into the mansion because my father-in-law, Li Wang, won't agree!"
Chaner never expected that he would tell her the truth.
Does that prove that if Prince Li hadn't objected, he would definitely have taken me into Marquis Zhan Yi's mansion?
With this realization, she suddenly felt that her efforts were not in vain.
She could try the strategy of retreating to advance again!
Having made up her mind, she feigned strength and said, "Since the Marquis is in a difficult position, then let Chan'er go back to the Buddhist temple? After all, that is Chan'er's home!"
She stood up subconsciously, and her painful and broken appearance was really pitiful.
Zhan Yan really held her down and said, "You can't leave. If you go back to the Buddhist temple with your injuries, won't the people of the entire capital scold me, Zhan Yan, for being ungrateful?"
Zener said aggrievedly: "No, Zener will help you explain!"
Zhan Yan interrupted: "You don't need to explain for me, just wait a moment, I will inform King Li of your situation and seek his consent!"
He ignored her and walked quickly outside.
Looking at his back, Zener couldn't help but feel excited.
As long as she goes to Zhan Yihou's mansion, the marriage between Zhan Yan and Lin Yiwan will be over.
She will definitely make them unable to sleep or eat, and soon make Zhan Yan the target of public criticism!
Just as she was thinking happily, a maid suddenly walked into the room quickly, looked her up and down suspiciously, and asked, "Miss, what did Marquis Zhan Yi and Doctor Lin do to you before?"
Zener asked angrily, "You actually spy on me?"
The maid argued, "I was following my master's orders to protect you. I was afraid of arousing Marquis Zhan Yi's suspicion, so I hid in a tall tree in the yard. I saw Doctor Lin insert the silver needle into the vital acupoint on your head!"
Zener nodded: "Yes, I know. The reason he pierced the acupoint on the top of my head was to dredge the blood vessels. It hurt so much that I almost fainted!"
The maid checked the back of her head and found the marks of silver needles.
She couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure you want to dredge the blood vessels and not do something else?"
Zener glared at her impatiently: "I wish Zhan Yan would do something else to me, so that I can complete the task quickly, right?"
The maid muttered, "That's true, but I always feel something is wrong. Although their backs are facing me, I can feel that they are talking all the time!"
Chan'er frowned and scolded, "If you have the time to daydream, why don't you help me pass the message to Lin Yiwan? My plans have failed one after another, and I still have to stay in the inn!"
The maid explained guiltily, "My master never expected Bai Qiaoyin to be so cruel. In order not to disturb Lin Yiwan, she even disposed of her own wet nurse!"
Chaner clenched his fists and said, "That bitch is so lucky! She actually has so many people protecting her!"
The ferocity and jealousy in her eyes overflowed, and she no longer looked like a Buddhist woman.
At this time, Zhan Yan had already gone to the Dali Temple. He found Lin Ran and told him the news about Qiu Tang.
After several days of torture, Lin Ran has lost a lot of weight.
He breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that Sang Qiutang's life was not in danger.
He said in a deep voice: "For now, we must find that young woman in the building as soon as possible, and then control her son. Only then can we negotiate terms with Elder Qiu Jiang!"
Zhan Yan said worriedly, "I've already sent people to inquire about it. That Qinglou courtesan disappeared without a trace after the Qiu family was wiped out. There's no news of her at all!"
Lin Ran was silent for a moment before he slowly said, "Zhan Yan, you should remember what the head of the Qiu family looked like, right? If Feng Qian can really draw his son's appearance, then can we also use his appearance to search for suspicious people?"
Zhan Yan's eyes lit up, this was a good idea.
However, it is really difficult to find similar people in such a big city like the capital.
Lin Ran said, "It's not difficult. Judging by their age, wouldn't it be easy to find children who meet the requirements in the official household register?"
Zhan Yan nodded: "Okay, let's do it now!"
The two of them got busy in the Dali Temple. If they hadn't checked, they wouldn't have known that there were quite a few children who met the requirements.
Zhan Yan used the appearance in his mind to quietly identify the target, and finally locked it on Gu Yuan, the fifth son of the Gu family.
Gu Yuan is Gu Ze's younger brother, and their mother is Gu Duyan, the eldest daughter of the current Minister of War.
