I fulfilled the female supporting role's wish and I succeeded

In the main hall, the scent of sandalwood curls up, creating a tranquil atmosphere.

Zhang Maoze sat upright on a mahogany armchair, his eyes deep, as if he was thinking about something.

Sheng Hong stood aside, rubbing his hands nervously, with beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.

The hall was silent for a moment, with only the slight crackling sound from the incense burner in the corner.

Zhang Maoze coughed lightly, breaking the silence.

"Shandong people,"

He spoke slowly, his voice low and magnetic.

"Could you tell me in detail how you discovered this new grain?"

He paused, staring at Sheng Hong with burning eyes.

"I will also report the truth to the emperor. The people of this world will remember your kindness."

Sheng Hong trembled when he heard this and bowed quickly.

"I am ashamed,"

There was a hint of fear in his tone.

"The first person to discover and plant potatoes was not me, but one of my concubines."

Zhang Maoze raised his eyebrows.

"Oh?"

There was a hint of curiosity in his tone.

"May I have the honor of meeting this lady?"

Sheng Hong's face showed joy.

"Of course. I'll send someone to invite him right away."

He then called a servant and said,

"Quickly go and invite Miss Lin to the main hall."

Soon, a sound of light footsteps came from afar.

Lin Qinshuang came with Zhou Xuenniang, with a graceful figure and light steps.

She was wearing a light pink dress today, which made her skin look even whiter than snow and her face look even more beautiful.

Sheng Hong hurried forward to meet him.

"Shuang'er,"

There was a hint of flattery in his tone.

"Come and meet Eunuch Zhang."

Lin Qinshuang nodded slightly, stepped forward and bowed.

"My name is Lin Qinshuang, and I pay my respects to Eunuch Zhang."

Her voice is soft and sweet, like the singing of a yellow oriole.

Zhang Maoze's eyes fell on Lin Qinshuang, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Oh?"

There was a hint of doubt in his tone.

"Last name is Lin?"

His mind was full of thoughts,

"My surname is Lin, and I met him as soon as I arrived in Yangzhou."

He thought to himself,

"I wonder if she is the woman surnamed Lin that the government is looking for."

"in the case of,"

His heartbeat quickened slightly.

"That immortal is truly powerful."

There was also a hint of inquiry in the look he gave Lin Qinshuang.

Zhang Maoze stepped forward, extended his hand to help Lin Qinshuang up,

"Madam, please stand up,"

His tone was gentle.

"I want to know where these potatoes come from and what kind of growing environment they are in."

Lin Qinshuang stood up, her eyes moving.

"To reply to the father-in-law,"

Her voice was soft,

"These potatoes were brought by my parents. They said they were from overseas."

She paused.

"As for the growing environment,"

She pondered for a moment.

“It just needs full sun and good soil.”

She secretly looked up to observe Zhang Maoze's expression, and seeing that he didn't seem to have any doubts, she felt a little relieved.

Zhang Maoze nodded,

"I see."

Zhang Maoze took a deep breath and slowly shifted his gaze from Lin Qinshuang to Sheng Hong's face.

"Shandong people,"

He paused, his tone becoming serious.

"I wonder if I could have a few words with Madam Lin alone?"

Sheng Hong's heart trembled.

Zhang Maoze's tone made him feel something unusual.

But he did not dare to neglect it and quickly responded,

"Of course, of course."

He turned to look at Lin Qinshuang, with a hint of warning in his eyes.

"Shuang'er, please entertain Eunuch Zhang well."

After saying this, he called Zhou Xueniang and the other servants to file out and carefully closed the door.

Only Zhang Maoze and Lin Qinshuang were left in the main hall.

The sandalwood was still curling up, and the air was filled with a faint sweetness, but it inexplicably added a bit of tension to the atmosphere.

Lin Qinshuang twisted the silk handkerchief in her hand nervously, her heart beating like a drum.

Why did Zhang Maoze leave her alone? He probably asked her about the dream.

Did you discover something?

Zhang Maoze's eyes fell on Lin Qinshuang, with a hint of inquiry.

"Mrs. Lin,"

He spoke slowly,

The voice is deep and magnetic.

"May I ask if you can cure the disease of infertility?"

His question came suddenly.

Lin Qinshuang was caught off guard.

She was stunned for a moment. Is it so direct?

There was a flash of panic in his eyes.

But she quickly calmed down.

"Why do you say that, sir?"

She asked back pretending to be confused.

"I don't know medicine, how can I cure illnesses and save lives?"

Zhang Maoze smiled slightly.

"Mrs. Lin, don't be nervous,"

His tone was gentle.

"I just heard that your family has some strange recipes.

That’s why I dared to ask.”

He paused, staring at Lin Qinshuang with burning eyes.

"I wonder if my lady could tell me something?"

Lin Qinshuang lowered her eyes, her mind churning with thoughts. Zhang Maoze came with ill intentions.

She couldn't admit it easily, but she couldn't deny it completely either. She could only test it cautiously.

"My father-in-law is well-informed."

There was a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

"I do have some secrets that I cannot pass on, but they are not prescriptions to cure illnesses or save lives, but pills that can make people pregnant."

She raised her eyes and looked at Zhang Maoze.

"I wonder if the father-in-law is interested in this medicine?"

A hint of excitement flashed in Zhang Maoze's eyes.

"Oh?"

There was a hint of surprise in his tone.

"It's actually a pill that makes people pregnant?"

He took a step forward, approaching Lin Qinshuang.

"I wonder if this pill can help a woman give birth to a baby boy?"

Lin Qinshuang was shocked. She didn't expect Zhang Maoze to know the efficacy of the elixir.

It seemed that he had already got some information, and she dared not hide it any longer.

"I did have a chance,"

Her tone became respectful.

"When I was young, I obtained a pill that could guarantee that a woman would give birth to a baby boy."

She paused, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

"But how did the father-in-law know?"

Zhang Maozhe raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a meaningful smile. He thought to himself, it seems I have found the right person.

He did not directly answer Lin Qinshuang's question, but slowly said,

"To be honest, I came here because I was asked by the government."

He paused, his tone becoming serious.

"The emperor recently dreamed of an immortal who instructed him to go to Yangzhou to find a woman named Lin, saying she possessed an elixir that could cure fertility problems."

He told Lin Qinshuang in detail about the official's dream and how he came here following the guidance of the immortal.

Lin Qinshuang pretended to be stunned and said in surprise, "I didn't expect there would be such a thing."

"Father-in-law,"

Her tone was firm,

"I can donate the elixir to the emperor, along with the other health-enhancing elixir I got back then."

She paused, "I just hope that my father-in-law will agree to one of my requests."

Zhang Maoze was delighted, knowing that the matter was settled.

"What do you want?"

His tone was gentle.

"Ma'am, just tell me what you want."

Lin Qinshuang took a deep breath, a look of determination flashed in her eyes.

"My Lin family was wronged back then,"

There was a hint of grief and anger in her tone.

“I hope the government can re-investigate the Lin family case and clear my Lin family’s name.
