Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 1079: Imperial Official
After returning from Yan Yuxuan, Lin Wanrong stayed awake all night. She picked up the tangled thread in her heart, untied it one by one, combed it neatly and re-twisted it.

She got up early the next day and had breakfast with her family. Before she could say anything, Lin Jinyan told the old lady that she would take her to the shop to check the accounts and then to the general's mansion to see if she needed any help.

The old lady was naturally happy that her younger generation could learn more skills, so she cheerfully urged the two of them to go out, not forgetting to ask them to bring more guards and servants with them and not to go to remote places.

The two sisters responded crisply and went out together.

Lin Wanrong looked at her sister who was glowing in front of her, and tears appeared in her eyes unconsciously:
She knew that she would have to spend some time talking if she left the house alone, so she spoke first... Her Yan'er always protected her...

She is the elder sister, and she promised to protect her younger sister, but she has no intention and has been timidly shrinking back. It's time...

On the outskirts of Tai'an city.

In the dilapidated house, sunlight shone through the window lattice onto the bed, and dust was dancing in the beams of light.

The disheveled man on the bed raised his eyelids groggily, and it took him a long while to see things clearly. He turned his head and looked at the simple furnishings in the room. His dry and peeling lips opened, and a hoarse voice came out weakly:

"Is… is anyone there?"

After calling out several times but seeing no response, the man struggled to sit up, panting and feeling dizzy.

The door creaked open, and an old man in a pudding Taoist robe walked into the room:

"Hey, you're awake? You're lucky enough."

As he spoke, the old man took the earthenware jar on the table, poured a bowl of water and handed it to the man.

There was a hole in the bowl and a large circle of black stains, and when you got close to it you could smell a medicinal smell.

If it was something like this in the past, the man would not even touch it, or even look at it, because it was dirty. But now, the thirsty man didn't care whether it was dirty or not, he took the broken bowl and drank it all, and even choked and coughed because he drank too quickly. After drinking three bowls of water, the man felt alive and asked where he was.

"This is Qingxu Temple, fifty miles away from Tai'an City. Everyone calls me Taoist Li. I found you fainted on the roadside with a high fever, and I carried you back. After giving you medicine for a few days, you didn't wake up, and I was thinking of digging a pit to bury you."

The man recalled what happened before he fainted, and excitedly grabbed Li Daoren's sleeve:

"Thank you for saving my life, Taoist priest. I am an official appointed by the imperial court. I was persecuted by evil people and ended up in this situation. Taoist priest, please go to the city and inform my family to pick me up. I will definitely reward you handsomely!"

After Lin Jinyan took Lin Wanrong out of the house, she went straight to Yongning Lane, sent Lin Wanrong to the door, left the mother and daughter to talk alone, and then went to Buyehou.

Zhu Qing welcomed the master and his two servants into the backyard. As soon as they entered the courtyard, they met Doctor Wu who looked impatient.

After the three of them greeted each other, Lin Jinyan smiled and said:
"Doctor Wu, are you going out?"

Doctor Wu, whose face was bruised and black, snorted angrily:

"Thanks to you, I'm going to Prince Jin's Mansion again."

Lin Jinyan couldn't help laughing, but she suppressed her smile and bowed, saying:
"Thank you for your hard work, doctor."

Bai Zhi stepped forward with a bright smile:
"With the help of Dr. Wu, I believe that His Royal Highness Prince Jin will wake up tomorrow night."

Doctor Wu looked at Bai Zhi's bright smile and was so angry that he wanted to curse but he held it back and left angrily with his sleeves thrown.

Lin Jinyan looked at him with amusement: "I'm afraid Divine Doctor Wu has been tormented enough these past few days. I heard that Divine Doctor Wu likes to have a drink in his spare time. The osmanthus wine I brewed should be ready. I'll bring two bottles to Divine Doctor Wu later."
