After being forced to leave the marriage, I became the wife of a top scholar.

Chapter 202 What a coincidence!

After Lin Yunche returned from the woodshed, his face grew increasingly gloomy. When he returned to the room, Bai Wanqing immediately noticed that something was wrong with him.

He entered the room without saying a word, then went to the desk, picked up a book, and started reading.

Bai Wanqing poured him a cup of tea, "You're holding your book upside down."

Lin Yunche suddenly realized what was happening. He glanced at Bai Wanqing sheepishly, then silently turned the book over.

Bai Wanqing didn't ask any questions, but sat down next to him and quietly picked up a book to read.

"What a coincidence!" Lin Yunche finally couldn't help but exclaim.

Bai Wanqing put down her book and looked at him quietly. Lin Yunche's originally flustered mood gradually calmed down.

"Wanqing, what Hai Shengyang said is probably true."

Bai Wanqing then understood, "Did the two people around Prince Huai say the same thing?"

Lin Yunche nodded. "Cao Zhe is still willing to take me to find him."

Lin Yunche suddenly clenched his fist. For more than 20 years, everyone said that the Lin family had betrayed the Shang Kingdom, just because Lin Sishu was captured and became a prisoner.

All the information proves that Lin Sishu had defected to the Northern Dynasty at that time.

He gradually planted people in the Northern Dynasty, but over the years, he has not been able to find any news about Lin Sishu.

Now, two people suddenly came to tell him this.

I'm afraid these two people have completely different motives.

Bai Wanqing watched as Lin Yunche's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and placed her hand over his.

"We'll find out the truth when we go and see for ourselves."

"Perhaps it's not what you think right now."

Lin Yunche was taken aback. Had he made it so obvious just now? Before Lin Sishu was out of contact, the Lin family could all believe in their hearts that Lin Sishu had not betrayed the Shang Kingdom.

But now that the news has actually come out, Lin Yunche is indeed afraid.

If the truth is different from what they firmly believe, then what is the point of everything they are doing now?
"Don't be afraid!"

"I believe in the Lin family, and I trust the Lin family members."

Bai Wanqing's voice was soft, but her tone was extremely firm, dispelling all the doubts in Lin Yunche's heart.

Yes! There are many people like Wanqing who silently believe in the Lin family in their hearts. As a member of the Lin family, he should believe in them even more!

"Thank you, Wanqing."

"Now that I have news of my uncle, I'm afraid I'll have to make a trip to the Northern Dynasty." Lin Yunche was clearly impatient.

He needed to inform his father and uncle as soon as possible, and then he would set off with Cao Zhe immediately.

Lin Yunche's anxiety was not noticed by Bai Wanqing. She said to Lin Yunche, "We must go to the Northern Dynasty, but my husband, you shouldn't go at this time!"

Lin Yunche was taken aback, then nodded.

"Wanqing is right. This time, both Hai Shengyang and Prince Huai came to my side at the same time to deliver a message."

"It is indeed too much of a coincidence."

Bai Wanqing nodded in agreement, "Without the Fang family, the Prince of Huai should be making things difficult for you."

"But he simply brushed aside the matter of the Fang family and did not take any further action to support a new Fang family."

"On the contrary, you will be trapped in the Northern Dynasty."

"I'm afraid."

After Bai Wanqing finished speaking, Lin Yunche still had something he didn't understand.

The Prince of Huai has always harbored rebellious intentions. Now he is waiting for the right opportunity, but when will that opportunity be?
Lin Yunche suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

He slammed his hand angrily on the desk in front of him. "Prince Huai wants the Lin family to offer sacrifices to the heavens of the Northern Dynasty!"

"Then what about him and the Northern Dynasty?"

Bai Wanqing chimed in, "I'm afraid they've been in cahoots for a long time."

"The Northern Dynasty won a battle more than 20 years ago, but it was a fierce victory."

"As long as the name of your Lin Family Army exists, the Northern Dynasty will probably be wary of you."

"You can tell from the Emperor's attitude."

"The Emperor has not completely abandoned the Lin family."

Lin Yunche knew perfectly well that the Emperor was using the Lin family's name while simultaneously keeping a close watch on them.

In the Emperor's eyes, the Lin family had not truly betrayed him.
"I understand what you mean." Lin Yunche suddenly looked up. "Thank you, Wanqing."

Bai Wanqing stopped talking. Seeing that Lin Yunche seemed to have something to do, she turned around and went to the bed.

Lin Yunche picked up a pen and wrote a letter recounting the events of the past two days, then ordered it to be sent to Linjia Village.

He looked at the bright moon outside the window, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

The Prince of Huai wanted the Lin family to give him a chance, so he will give him that chance.

Lin Yunche quickly wrote down all the evidence he knew about the Prince of Huai's garrison. He wrote two copies, one of which was submitted as a memorial in Hai Chengming's name.

He sent someone to deliver a copy to the Hai family two days later.

After he finished doing everything, he walked to the bedside and quietly looked at the person on the couch.

Bai Wanqing noticed the gaze behind her and slowly turned around. In the dim candlelight, Lin Yunche's face became inscrutable.

Neither of them said a word, but they both understood each other.

The Lin family is likely to face some turmoil.

The next day, Lin Yunche went to the yamen, while Bai Wanqing went to the clinic as usual, as if nothing had happened.

Hai Shengyang arrived early in the morning. When she saw Bai Wanqing, she handed over the prepared gift money.

"Dr. Luo said he asked me to give you the gift money."

"Thank you for being willing to save my father."

Hai Shengyang was being sincere at this moment. Others might not know, but she, who had stayed by Hai Chengming's side all night, knew it all too well.

Before Doctor Luo arrived, Lord Hai was almost dead.

The entire Hai family panicked. If it weren't for Doctor Luo arriving in time to administer acupuncture and medicine to her father, the situation would have been dire.
Perhaps she really did lose her father yesterday.
The Hai family is truly finished. Bai Wanqing accepted the consultation fee without ceremony, saying, "It's best that Lord Hai is alright."

After Bai Wanqing finished speaking, she went back to doing other things. Seeing that Bai Wanqing had no intention of speaking to him anymore, Hai Shengyang had no choice but to turn around and leave.

However, as she turned around, she bumped into Cui Jingcheng at the door.

"Whose daughter is this, so reckless!" Cui Jingcheng angrily rubbed his shoulder and shouted at Hai Shengyang.

Hai Shengyang was startled by Cui Jingcheng's voice. She looked up with tears in her eyes, her pitiful appearance making Cui Jingcheng awkwardly twitch the corners of his mouth.

"Forget it! Forget it! It was just a bump!"

"it's okay no problem!"

Cui Jingcheng stopped looking at Hai Shengyang and dragged Dr. Liu to Bai Wanqing to report.

They planned to come to the clinic to help out while they waited for the Marquis to arrive in Huaizhou City.

Dr. Liu was pulled up early by Cui Jingcheng. Usually, it was Dr. Liu who urged the young man to get up, but now the young man was urging him instead, all to help out at the clinic. Dr. Liu found this quite novel.

"Wanqing, we're here!"

Cui Jingcheng grinned and greeted Bai Wanqing.

Hai Shengyang turned around, stared blankly at Cui Jingcheng's back for a moment, and was then squeezed out of the clinic by the crowd of patients.

"Miss, that young man looks quite familiar!"

Chunru looked at Hai Shengyang, who was somewhat lost in thought in the carriage, and said.

Hai Shengyang had been thinking about it for a while, and now he remembered.

"He is Cui Jingcheng, the young master of the Zhaonan Marquis's family. What is he doing here?"

Cui Jingcheng was a famous noble young master in the capital. Because of his noble status and quick wit, he received much praise from the emperor.

"Should we go and ask around?" Chunru asked.

Hai Shengyang waved his hand, "Forget it! The Marquis's mansion is not a place that a family like ours can easily provoke."

"Especially since Cui Jingcheng is known for being unreasonable."

"If he finds something wrong with us, the Hai family will not have a good time."

"We are about to leave Huaizhou City, so let's not cause any more trouble."

Hai Shengyang said this, but in reality he looked down on good-for-nothing playboys like Cui Jingcheng. His so-called cleverness was just something the emperor said to praise the marquis.

Everyone knows that this young marquis has a bad temper, is unpredictable, and is a ruthless devil.

"Let's go! Let's hurry back, Father is waiting for us."

Hai Chengming had already passed the critical period. As soon as he opened his eyes, tears streamed down his face.

"I...I'm still alive."

When Hai Shengyang saw that his father had woken up, he finally felt relieved.

"Father, that's wonderful! You're finally awake."

Hai Chengming knew that Doctor Luo was someone Hai Shengyang had begged for, and he felt extremely sorry for his daughter when he looked at her.

"Good daughter! You are your father's good daughter!"

"Dad's alright, Dad's alright!"

As Hai Chengming spoke, he raised one hand, and Hai Shengyang quickly came over to help him sit up.

"Have the Prince of Huai's men arrived in the last two days?"

Hai Shengyang shook his head, "Father, don't worry, everyone knows you've been ill these past two days."

"Only a few officials have come to visit; none of the Prince of Huai's men have come."

Hai Chengming nodded through his tears. He had almost risked his life with this self-inflicted injury, so it couldn't be that it had no effect at all.

"Good good!"

"Let's start making preparations now. As soon as I'm feeling better, we'll leave immediately."

Hai Shengyang nodded immediately, "Father, I'll pass on the instructions right away, don't worry."

Only then did Hai Chengming feel relieved enough to drink the bowl of medicine and go back to sleep.

Hai Shengyang left the house, summoned Steward Hai, and instructed them on how to leave Huaizhou City.

Looking at the suddenly cold sky, Hai Shengyang felt uneasy for some reason.

Inside the clinic, Cui Jingcheng was helping Bai Wanqing; he had already learned to recognize some of the medicinal herbs in the past two days.

It would be much more comfortable to assist Bai Wanqing than to grind medicinal herbs there, and it would also be closer to Bai Wanqing.

"Wanqing, it's noon, time for lunch."

"How about we go out for a walk?"

"I've come to Huaizhou City, but I haven't really explored it much yet!"

Cui Jingcheng leaned over the medicine cabinet, smiling and acting coquettishly towards Bai Wanqing.

Dr. Liu couldn't stand it and wanted to stop it, but was scared off by a single look from Cui Jingcheng.

Dr. Liu is feeling really bad! Should he find a day to have a good talk with Lord Lin?

We must prevent others from stealing our customers!

"Great! Everyone has worked hard today."

"Dr. Zheng, please reserve a table at Baiweilou tonight to treat everyone."

Speaking of which, they have been providing free medical consultations for three or four days now, and in the last two days, even patients from other places have come to visit.

So they really have been so busy that they haven't had a proper meal for several days.

"Alright! I'll send someone right away."

"It's just that the employer has spent money again."

Bai Wanqing smiled and shook her head, "It's everyone who has worked hard."
