The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law

"Mother, you’d better not ask about this matter. After all, she was confined for her own good."

"Ah, but there should be a reason, shouldn’t there? As a doctor, she needs to go out frequently. If she can’t go to Jisheng Hall, and you feel the patients who come seeking her help bring bad luck, not letting them enter our residence, you just like to meddle too much."

"Mother!" Madam Lin really felt weary at heart. The Empress was suspicious of her having ulterior motives, and now the dowager was pestering her for a reason?

She sighed and said, "I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave now. Mother, if you have any doubts, why not go and ask Xingyi? He probably knows more than I do."

"Ai, you..."

Seeing Madam Lin’s rarely serious expression, the Eldest Madam Lin felt that the issue might not be so simple.

"Go call Xiang Chun. Oh no, don’t call Xiang Chun yet. Watch the adults closely, and as soon as one comes back, have him come see me immediately. Ah, it’s so late already. Where has Xingyi gone? Why hasn’t he returned yet?"

Madam Lin had been pulling people aside for talks since returning from the Imperial Palace, and now that she had been summoned by the Eldest Madam Lin, it had already grown dark. Normally at this time, she would already be asleep.
