Since their encounter on the street that day, Song Ruoan had been going to the Lin residence for several days in a row to prepare medicine and administer acupuncture to Lin Miaoxin.

After drinking the herbal medicine for four days, Lin Miaoxin's complexion became rosier and her body healthier. Even her voice grew louder day by day. She was no longer lying sickly in bed every day, too lazy to even say a word.

Seeing this result, Madam Lin treated Song Ruo'an with great courtesy and praise, not only allowing her free access to the Prime Minister's residence, but even declaring that she would treat her as her own daughter.

As Lin Miaoxin's condition gradually improved, Prime Minister Lin took good care of He Yunce in the government office, promoting him in every way and taking him on as his personal student.

Now everyone in the Secretariat knows that Lord Lin has gained a highly regarded student. The student is neither arrogant nor humble, and is very knowledgeable. He seems to be a promising person.

It's only a matter of time before things flourish and they achieve great success.

Today, Song Ruoan felt wronged and stormed out of the Marquis's residence, heading straight for the Prime Minister's residence.

After she personally prepared the medicine and administered the acupuncture to Lin Miaoxin as usual, she noticed Lin Miaoxin's rosy complexion and hesitantly brought up the matter.

"Don't laugh at me, but my sister squandered the entire Marquis's mansion. I took over this mess because I was soft-hearted. Now the dowry is gone, and my personal savings are gone too. But the people in the Marquis's mansion are starving for food, so I have no choice but to find a way to earn some money."

Upon hearing this, Lin Miaoxin's expression darkened slightly. She looked Song Ruoan up and down, her eyes filled with disdain.

"So you've come to ask me for money?"

Song Ruoan sensed the change in Lin Miaoxin's expression and knew that she was not a person who could be easily gotten along with.

So he quickly waved his hand and forced an awkward smile at her:

"We have such a good relationship, and Madam Lin loves me so much. I've long considered you as my sister. How could I possibly ask you for money?"

"I just wanted you to introduce me to some ladies. You are the Prime Minister's darling daughter, and with such a good personality, you must have met quite a few distinguished ladies, right?"

It must be said that Lin Miaoxin is not only the daughter of the Prime Minister's family, but her mother is also a young lady of the Duke's family. The connections she has made since childhood are far more prestigious than those that Song Ruoan knew in her youth.

More importantly, if he were introduced by Lin Miaoxin, those ladies would trust his medical skills and respect him even more.

Song Ruoan kept a close eye on Lin Miaoxin's expression as she thought about it.

Sure enough, upon hearing Song Ruoan's compliment, Lin Miaoxin's previously gloomy expression suddenly brightened:

"So that's how it is. I must say, your sister is both stupid and wicked. She managed to squander her husband's family fortune, and as for connections..."

Lin Miaoxin was frail and sickly from childhood. She was pampered by the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Duke's Mansion, and her personality was extremely arrogant and domineering. In fact, no young ladies were willing to associate with her.

But Song Ruoan is a miracle doctor. If she introduces Song Ruoan to treat others and receives praise from everyone in the world, then she can also benefit.

With this connection, anyone who wants to get to know the miracle doctor must first flatter and fawn over him.

Thinking of this, Lin Miaoxin smiled and took Song Ruoan's hand:

"However, this is not difficult to arrange. I will take the initiative to hold a tea party and invite all my close friends. With your exquisite art, you will surely become famous all over the world. This is my way of repaying you."

Song Ruoan was overjoyed to hear Lin Miaoxin agree so readily, and she quickly grasped Lin Miaoxin's hand in return:

"It would be best to find a few sick ladies, so that the treatment will be more effective and they will be more likely to trust me... After all, not everyone can have the discerning eye of Miss Lin."

Lin Miaoxin listened with enjoyment and said lazily, "Isn't it easy to find? That Minister Xin is my father's subordinate. He has a wife who is terminally ill and about to die."

“I’ll send her an invitation. No matter how much money you need, since Minister Xin loves her so much, he’ll give you his entire fortune to make up for it.”

"Mrs. Xin?"

Upon hearing the name, Song Ruoan hesitated slightly: "But my husband had a misunderstanding with Minister Xin in the past..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Miaoxin realized the key point and burst out laughing: "Now I remember, Minister Xin, you made your husband suffer in the past!"

"Isn't that perfect? ​​You don't like her, so this is the best opportunity for you to get revenge. Her life-saving medicine is in your hands. After you've made things difficult for her enough, you can make her spend a lot of money to buy the medicine. Even Minister Xin will have to treat you with respect and courtesy."

Lin Miaoxin was the best at making things difficult for people. She described the scene so vividly that it made Song Ruoan's heart pound.

Even if He Yunze now has Lord Lin's support in the Secretariat and no longer needs Vice Minister Xin, the Su family still needs him! Su Mingli needs him!

If we can cure Madam Xin and make Minister Xin bow down, we will not only avenge our past grievances, but also win over Minister Xin and slap the face of the Su family and even Song Xizhi.

At that time, Su Mingli's days in the Secretariat will be difficult.

She wanted to see what Song Xizhi had left to fight her with: her mother had died, her maternal family had been suppressed, and she had married a living dead man.

Thinking of this, Song Ruoan tightly grasped Lin Miaoxin's hand:

"Then I'm leaving everything to you."

Lin Miaoxin quickly sent out an invitation to all the ladies to gather at Baifanglou, a newly opened teahouse in the capital.

Baifanglou was converted from the residence of a princess from the previous dynasty. It is said that it was built at great expense by the most mysterious wealthy merchant in the capital.

It's more than just a teahouse.

The building contains an artificial lake with several ornately decorated pavilions in the middle, where boats are available for tourists.

There are also rolling hills, lush green trees, and flowers all over the mountains.

Several pavilions have also been built in the sea of ​​flowers, with curtains covering the surroundings, making it the perfect place for nobles from the capital to enjoy tea and boat rides.

Because pavilions are scarce, it was really difficult to find a seat here. Lin Miaoxin had to use some means, by invoking the name of Prime Minister Lin, to reserve such a private seat.

As Song Ruoan and her group sat down in the pavilion, brewed tea around the stove, and admired the boundless beauty, they were filled with awe.

"In the capital city, where land is incredibly valuable, it's amazing that there's such a spacious area, so lush and green."

"Only Miss Miaoxin could pull some strings to find such a great place, right?"

While sighing, Song Ruoan thought of Song Xizhi again.

She can sit here now and enjoy such a beautiful view, something her sister will probably never see in her entire life, forced to stay in the Marquis's mansion, tending to the excrement and urine of the living dead.

My life is ruined.

Upon hearing this, Lin Miaoxin proudly raised her chin and introduced the lady she had invited.

"All the ladies and young women who have come today are my close friends and acquaintances. Among them is the wife of the Secretary of the Imperial Secretariat, Madam Lü."

"This is Miss Zhou from Secretary Lang's family."

"This is the eldest daughter of the Duke's family, my cousin, surnamed Zheng."

"Oh, and this is the wife of the Vice Minister of Rites; you should have heard of her."

"..."

Lin Miaoxin introduced them one by one. As Song Ruoan listened to the names of these ladies, his hands trembled slightly with excitement, and his heart pounded so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of his throat.

That sounds familiar! It sounds so familiar!

Lin Miaoxin is absolutely amazing!

All the people being introduced at this moment are the wives and daughters of the various officials in the Central Secretariat. Not only are they high-ranking and powerful, but they are also all He Yunze's superiors!

The Vice Minister of Rites was Song Ruoan's father's superior!

My father has served in the Ministry of Rites for so many years, and it's long past the time for him to be promoted.

However, this Vice Minister of Rites, Lord Sun, was upright and incorruptible, and he was unwilling to budge, so my father never found an opportunity.

This is her chance!
