Making you a son-in-law is not about making you conquer the world.
Chapter 385 The Traitor Appears
"Young Master, you're finally back! Something terrible has happened in Yingtian Prefecture!" Li Mingxuan said anxiously.
Lin Ping's heart skipped a beat. Li Mingxuan rarely showed such a flustered expression, which meant that a lot had really happened in the past few days.
He quickly dismounted and tried his best to remain calm.
I just hope Zhou Xiyin is alright. If it's just a financial loss, then it's not a big deal.
"No rush, speak slowly." Lin Ping forced a smile, not wanting Li Mingxuan to see his flustered state, lest the other party become even more disoriented.
“Since you left, Xuanji Hall has been in chaos. With the support of Jile Hall, that brat Ye Liangchen openly rebelled and kicked us all out,” Li Mingxuan said, clenching his fists, wishing he could beat the other party up immediately.
really……
Lin Ping gave a helpless smile.
He had long suspected that the Paradise Hall wasn't so kind. Not only had they found him a shop, but they had also completed all the necessary paperwork and even prepared a medical apprentice. This must have been premeditated.
Now, Xuanjitang is famous, and patients line up outside the door. If Ye Liangchen can remember a few prescriptions, he can make a lot of money.
Where is Zhao Ritian?
Li Mingxuan first mentioned the situation at Xuanji Hall, which proved that Zhou Xiyin and the others had not suffered any physical harm, so he was relieved and had time to inquire about Zhao Ritian's situation.
“That kid is stubborn. He refused to give Xuanji Hall to Ye Liangchen no matter what, and in the end, the people from Jile Hall broke his leg. Now he can only lie in bed,” Li Mingxuan said, shaking his head.
"This kid still has some backbone." Lin Ping nodded in satisfaction, at least he didn't end up being abandoned by everyone.
At the same time, he was also worried about Zhao Ritian's condition. After his legs were broken, he was likely to be disabled for life. It was really not worth sacrificing his legs for a lousy clinic.
To be honest, Lin Ping started this clinic to build his reputation. Now that he's been branded as a miracle doctor, Xuanji Hall is really dispensable.
"Has Yinyin returned to the manor?" Lin Ping asked, his expression slightly anxious.
In this situation, Zhou Xiyin most likely led a group of people to the Zhou residence.
“Master Zhou is also in quite a bit of trouble. He’s already sold his house and is just waiting for the brokers to come and take it away!” Li Mingxuan sighed again. “Miss Lin took us to the Zhou family’s old house, and she’s blaming herself right now!”
"What a silly woman. It's not your fault, why blame yourself?" Lin Ping felt a warmth in his heart. As long as Zhou Xiyin was alright, he could finally relax.
"Lead the way quickly," Lin Ping said anxiously, eager to see Zhou Xiyin immediately.
Led by Li Mingxuan, the two traversed one alley after another, finally finding an abandoned house in a remote corner.
The door creaked loudly when it was pushed open, and dust settled on the beams, revealing its dilapidated state.
It wasn't a large courtyard with three entrances and three exits; it was just a simple courtyard house.
"Young Master, you're finally back!" Xiao Hui and Wan'er said at the same time, wiping away their tears. However, Xiao Hui cried even more sadly, after all, she had almost become Lin Ping's woman.
The two young maids almost got into a fight over who would become the son-in-law.
To be honest, Wan'er was very polite. Lin Ping had already divorced Jiang Yunying and was now Zhou Xiyin's husband, so naturally he was Wan'er's son-in-law.
"Alright, stop arguing. This crying and whining is so annoying," Lin Ping said irritably, trying to get the two of them to cheer up quickly.
At this moment, a thin figure slowly walked out of the house. He looked so frail that he could fall with every step.
"I'm sorry, I failed to protect Xuanji Hall." Zhou Xiyin lowered her head, her voice choked with emotion.
She wasn't afraid of the harsh environment, but she was afraid of dragging Lin Ping down. If she hadn't been incompetent, Xuanjitang wouldn't have been taken away.
"What a silly woman." Lin Ping stroked Zhou Xiyin's head and said tenderly, "It's just Xuanjitang. If it's gone, it's gone. Just don't lose yourself."
Has he forgiven her? And is he showing concern for her?
Zhou Xiyin's nose tingled, and she could no longer hold back her tears. She hugged Lin Ping's strong waist and burst into tears.
"Alright, stop crying, or you'll become ugly," Lin Ping said, still gently stroking Zhou Xiyin's head.
“You weren’t pretty to begin with, crying makes you even uglier,” Zhou Xiyin retorted, pouting slightly, with a touch of demure charm.
"Who said that? Watch me skin him alive! How could my Yinyin not be beautiful?" Lin Ping said seriously, even pretending to grab a weapon.
Zhou Xiyin was amused by him and chuckled, which added to her charm.
"If I'm really beautiful, why don't you like me?" Zhou Xiyin mustered her courage and tearfully poured out her heart.
Lin Ping was stunned. He had dug a hole for himself. Knowing that she liked him, he shouldn't have made things too complicated in this regard.
"Being pretty doesn't mean I like you. I'm not that kind of vulgar person," Lin Ping explained against his conscience.
"Hmph, you men all like pretty young girls, don't think I don't know that," Zhou Xiyin pouted.
Lin Ping was speechless; he couldn't find a reason to refute it.
He's a sucker for good looks; he can get mesmerized just looking in the mirror. How could he not like pretty girls?
His skin is so soft and smooth, doesn't it smell wonderful to touch?
"Okay, I admit I like you, but there's a proper order to things, you can't take Zhaolan's place." Lin Ping was also helpless, and blurted out his feelings in the heat of the moment.
To be honest, he admitted that he had some feelings for Zhou Xiyin. Not only was she beautiful, but her affection for him was also genuine; even a stone would be warmed by such affection.
But he had to make it clear that Jiang Yunying would always be number one, and no one could take her away.
"Who wants to take it from Sister Yunying?" Zhou Xiyin glanced at him and broke free from his embrace.
Sometimes, that's just how women think, leaving Lin Ping completely bewildered.
Do you care or not? Do you want to steal it or not?
He was very flustered.
"Where is Xiaotian?" Lin Ping then remembered Zhao Ritian, whose legs had been broken.
“Xiao Tian is inside; he just fell asleep.” Zhou Xiyin felt guilty again.
She failed to protect Xuanjitang and Zhao Ritian.
After the other party was injured, she spent all her savings to hire the best doctor and took care of him personally every day.
Lin Ping rushed in, and found Zhao Ritian lying on the bed in pain, his brows furrowed even while he slept.
A quick glance reveals a clear fracture on the lower side of his thigh, tightly bound with two wooden boards.
Lin Ping regained the function of his right eye, only to discover that his bones were completely dislocated. He had not only been severely beaten, but his treatment had also been inadequate.
The broken bones continued to damage the muscles and blood vessels, causing Zhao Ritian unbearable pain. He was already very strong for not crying out.
"Incompetent doctors are harming people!" Lin Ping said angrily.
This is no one else's fault but theirs. They had offended not only Jiletang but also Yiyuantang. Zhou Xiyin could only seek help from a few quack doctors, who not only swindled her money but also delayed the best time for treatment.
