Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 1030 Stroke
Zhao Huaqiong waited not far from the side door for about an incense stick of time. When she saw Doctor Wu and Meng Jie coming out, she hurriedly went up to them to thank them and asked about Madam Qi's health and the situation in the mansion.

Hearing this, Meng Jie persuaded the anxious Zhao Huaqiong to stop, and helped Dr. Wu get on the carriage to rest, then put down the medicine box and returned:
"Miss Zhao, Madam Qi was so angry that she had a stroke, but it's not serious and won't endanger her life. She needs to take some medicine and recuperate for a while, then she'll be able to talk and get out of bed. Madam Qi's master has also seen her, and she just needs to rest. Others in the mansion are worried, but they're still able to take it and eat well, so you don't have to worry too much."

Although he knew that Xiao Siming would not treat Meng Jie with brotherly respect, Meng Jie did help the Qi family, so Zhao Huaqiong bowed and thanked him sincerely:
"Thank you, Master, and thank you, Doctor Wu, for coming to visit us at this time. Please also thank Brother Siming for me."

Meng Jie was stunned: "What does it have to do with my second brother?"

"Didn't Brother Siming invite you and Divine Doctor Wu to come?"

Meng Jie shook his head: "You and my second brother are engaged. I thought you were one of my own family. I heard that Madam Qi was ill, so I asked Master to go. When I left the house, I saw my second brother, but he didn't mention it."

Zhao Huaqiong's heart sank:
Could it be that Brother Siming... No, that's not the case... It should be that when Meng Jie left the mansion, Brother Siming had not received his letter yet. Yes, that's it.

After a long and complicated silence, Zhao Huaqiong returned to the mansion and told Madam Xiao about the current situation of the Qi Mansion. After she was relieved, Zhao Huaqiong returned to her own courtyard and wanted to send someone to check whether Xiao Siming had received her letter before Meng Jie left the mansion. However, she was afraid that the result of the investigation would not be what she expected.
While hesitating, the personal maid came in and reported:
"Miss, this morning the Dingbei Army outside the city buried the body that Lin Jinyan brought back on the day she was attacked. The people sent to watch over it opened the bodies one by one after the Dingbei Army left. The faces of the bodies were so rotten that they were unrecognizable. Judging from the clothes they were wearing, Li Quan and the other two were not there."

Zhao Huaqiong: "The weather isn't that hot, how could it rot so quickly?"

"Maybe it's because it's in the military tent out in the open air, which makes it hotter than in the house."

Hearing this, Zhao Huaqiong's annoyance intensified:
"Forget it. My grandmother and the others are in this situation now. We can't cause any more trouble. She's lucky. Let's let her go for now. There's still a long way to go before we can get rid of our hatred."

Yan Yuxuan.

In recent days, Lin Jinyan has been copying Buddhist scriptures in the study whenever she has free time. When asked, she said that they were written for the guards who died in vain for her.

Seeing how focused Lin Jinyan was on writing, Bai Zhi stood quietly by and ground the ink. Yu Tong was afraid that Lin Jinyan might hurt her eyes, so she added two more candles.

Hong Jiu glanced inside, left the yard quietly, walked to the deserted wall, stepped on a tree trunk, and flipped over to land outside the yard.

After a long time, Lin Jinyan stopped writing and pinched her sore wrist. Bai Zhi hurriedly took over and rubbed it gently for her.

Using the excuse of wanting to drink sweet soup, Lin Jinyan sent Yutong away and ordered:
"When my brother's affairs are settled, arrange for someone to accompany me to the Fanyin Temple and burn these for her."

Bai Zhi glanced at Lin Jinyan's expression, responded and said softly:
"Miss Qin San was not harmed by you. You just saw through the King of Jin's plan and followed the trend. Don't blame yourself."

"Although she is not the mastermind, she is an accomplice. How can she escape the consequences of her karma? I am not doing this to eliminate my sins, but only to make her life better in the next life. Even if she is reborn into an ordinary family, as long as her parents and siblings love her, it will be better than this life."
