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

The Du family received the news even before Lord Feng.

Because the Liang family had already sensed the Prince of Huai's elite troops while they were in Liangjia Village, they evacuated the villagers of Liangjia Village in advance.

After seeing that all the villagers had evacuated to the south, Mr. Liang prepared to leave with his family.

However, the Liang family headed north, not south.

"Master, why don't we go to Yangzhou with the others?"

“This northern land looks like it’s going to suffer! Why are we still heading north?” Madam Liang asked, looking at Master Liang.

Master Liang coughed heavily twice and said, "We're going south!"

"Can Liang Sheng live?"

Madam Liang looked at her pale-faced son and shook her head helplessly.

Mr. Liang fell ill the day before yesterday. I don't know what bad thing he ate, but he has been vomiting and having diarrhea. Dr. Liu came to see him, but he hasn't gotten better after taking the medicine for the past two days.

Master Liang then prepared to take Liang Sheng to Huaizhou City for a look!
Unexpectedly, a group of soldiers was spotted heading towards Huaizhou City last night.

The people of Liangjia Village also received the news, and they all left early the next morning.

Master Liang has just dismissed the Liang family's servants, and now only the three of them and a carriage remain.

"Master, there is no longer a Doctor Luo in Huaizhou City, so it's probably useless for us to go. We might as well try our luck in Yangzhou!"

"I already wrote to my cousin in Yangzhou a while ago!"

"He will definitely find the best doctor for the birth of the child."

Looking at Madam Liang's appearance, Mr. Liang sighed deeply.

"Madam, I don't know what your cousin is like, but don't you know him yourself?"

"Back when our Liang family was in trouble, we needed your cousins ​​to help. Where were they all?"

"Later, our Liang family's status returned! Your cousin reappeared and tried to claim kinship with us!"

"Given our current situation, do you really think your cousin will still accept us?"

"Besides, have you forgotten who saved Sheng'er in the first place!"

"Have you forgotten who got back the land that was taken from our Liang family?"

Madam Liang certainly hadn't forgotten! But Madam Lin had already left.
What does it matter!
Master Liang saw through Madam Liang's thoughts and sighed, "Although Madam Lin is no longer here, Lord Lin is still here, and the person Madam Lin cared about most is still in Huaizhou City."

We need to send them a message!

"Report a message? Can't we just send a servant to deliver it?"

"Why bother going there yourself!"

Master Liang glanced at Liang Sheng on the bed, and Madam Liang instantly understood. "Master, alright, let's go!"

"I'll listen to you."

So, Master Liang, along with his wife and son, rushed to Huaizhou City along another side road without stopping.

As soon as the city gates opened in the morning, they entered the city and headed straight for the Lin family.

Unexpectedly, the Lin family's door was closed, so they had no choice but to go to the Du family's house instead.

When Mr. and Mrs. Liang arrived at the Du family's door, they hesitated for a moment. Although they had heard that the Du family and the Lin family had a good relationship, the Du family and the Liang family did not have much contact.

I really don't know if they will be accepted by the Du family.

Therefore, when Master Liang tried to knock on the Du family's door, he was filled with unease. However, to his surprise, the Du family's steward, upon hearing that it was a member of the Liang family, welcomed him in with the same warmth as if he were a distant relative.

Soon, only Madam Du and Bai Furong were in the main hall of the Liang family.

"Madam Du! Please forgive us!" Master Liang and Madam Liang greeted Madam Du.

Madam Du quickly told the two men not to stand on ceremony, "Mr. Liang, Madam Liang, you are both Wanqing's friends, and naturally also honored guests of our Du family, so please don't be so polite."

Mr. and Mrs. Liang felt much more at ease after hearing this.

When Bai Furong learned that Master Liang's son, Liang, was ill, she timidly said to Madam Liang, "Madam Liang, our clinic has many highly skilled doctors, so please don't worry."

"I'll send someone to invite them over right now!"

Mr. and Mrs. Liang were deeply moved. After all, they had just arrived and didn't know how to start the conversation, but the young mistress of the Du family knew what they were anxious about.

Master Liang felt that coming to Huaizhou City this time was the right decision!

So Master Liang told Madam Du and Bai Furong what he had seen in Liangjia Village.

Upon hearing this news, Madam Du appeared shocked. "Mr. Liang, are you sure you mean it?"

Madam Du had been expanding her cloth shop business and had also talked with Bai Wanqing about the current situation. She knew that the Prince of Huai's rebellion was a foregone conclusion.

I just didn't know it would happen so quickly. Now that I think about it, the Prince of Huai must have already been making preparations when he left Huaizhou City.

Fearing that Madam Du would not believe him, Mr. Liang immediately stood up and assured her, "Madam Du, I, Mr. Liang, am saying this for the price of my head!"

"How could I say such things so casually!"

Madam Du nodded quickly and said, "Mr. Liang, you're right!"

"This is indeed hard to believe, but I believe what you say!"

"If that's the case, we should at least make some preparations!"

Madam Liang was somewhat surprised. "Madam Du, make preparations? What preparations can we ordinary people make? If those soldiers really attack, our Huaizhou City will probably fall very quickly."

"Why don't we leave now?"

Mr. Liang was surprised that Madam Liang was still thinking about running away, and he glared at her angrily.

But what did Madam Liang do wrong? She just wanted everyone to escape for their lives!
It's better than being buried in Huaizhou City!
Mrs. Du understood Mrs. Liang's feelings perfectly. "Mrs. Liang, you're right, running away might be our best option, but..."

"Our Du family cannot leave yet!"

"If you want to leave now, I will see you off."

Just as Madam Liang was about to nod, Mr. Liang stopped her, "Madam Du, we're not leaving!" "Our Liang family is not the kind of people who are afraid of death."

"I have come here not only to inform Madam Du, but also to inform the prefect of Huaizhou City."

"If we prepare in advance, we might be able to defend Huaizhou City."

Looking at Master Liang, Madam Du felt a surge of admiration.

The Du family was well-prepared because they knew this day would come eventually.

However, the Liang family was different. They could have fled far away much earlier, but they chose to come to Huaizhou City to inform the others. This single act was something that not everyone would do.

No wonder Wanqing helped the Liang family so much back then.

Just as the group was talking, Lin Yunche arrived at the Du family's house carrying a medicine box.

Master Liang and the others looked at Lin Yunche with some surprise. Bai Furong quickly turned to Baoyue and asked, "Baoyue, didn't I tell you to call the best doctor in the clinic?"

"Why aren't Dr. Zheng and Dr. Yang here? It's my brother-in-law who's here instead."

Baoyue was also completely bewildered; she could only relay Dr. Zheng's exact words.

"Miss, Dr. Zheng said that Lord Lin is the most skilled doctor in the century-old medical clinic."

"With him here, there's no problem."

Upon learning that it was Doctor Zheng's idea, Furong no longer had any doubts and instead took Lin Yunche to see Liang Sheng.

Madam Du knew Lin Yunche's true identity and had no doubts, so she let him go without worry.

Madam Liang, worried about her son, naturally got up and followed him, leaving Master Liang and Madam Du still sitting in the front hall.

Master Liang has met Lord Lin before; he recognized him at a glance.

In just those few words, Master Liang sensed that Lord Lin seemed to have changed somewhat.

"Madam Du, has Lord Lin changed in some way?"

Madam Du coughed twice and said, "Hmm, perhaps!"

"To be honest, Yun Che is a child with a tragic fate."

"I finally got married, and now look what happened. Let it be."

After Madam Du said that, most of the doubts in Master Liang's heart disappeared!

The two discussed it for a while and decided that the matter should be reported to the prefect immediately.

So the Du family wrote a letter and sent it to the government office. Naturally, Madam Du also sent a letter to Wanqing.

After receiving the letter, Bai Wanqing summoned Susu.

"Susu, the Prince of Huai has raised an army!"

"Huaizhou City will probably be the first to suffer."

Cheng Susu did not expect that the Prince of Huai would make the first move against Huaizhou.
"Wanqing, what do we do now?!"

"Our Huaizhou City has no more than a thousand soldiers at most, and the new Lord Feng is still pretending to be sick and not coming out."

"There's absolutely no hope for Huaizhou City!"

Wanqing knew this all too well, but even if there was no hope, she had to find a way to create one.

"Susu, the people of Huaizhou City are counting on you," Bai Wanqing said.

Cheng Susu was taken aback. "Me? What can I do?"

"Go to Northwind City."

While Bai Wanqing and Cheng Susu were making meticulous plans, Lin Yunche was already administering acupuncture to Liang Sheng in the backyard of the Du family.

Madam Liang knew that the man in front of her was the former prefect of Huaizhou City and not a doctor at all, so she had no confidence in Lin Yunche's medical skills.

Especially when the needles were inserted, Liang Sheng let out a few soft groans, and Madam Liang tensed up completely.

"Lord Lin, is Sheng'er alright?"

Lin Yunche ignored Madam Liang, who felt somewhat embarrassed.

Madam Liang wanted to ask more questions, but Furong, fearing that Madam Liang would disturb Lin Yunche, quickly interrupted, "Madam Liang, please don't be nervous!"

"Although my brother-in-law doesn't usually practice medicine, both Doctor Zheng and Doctor Yang say that Lord Lin's medical skills are the best."

"Don't worry."

"Really?"

Bai Furong smiled and looked at Baoyue beside her. Baoyue's heart was pounding wildly. "It's true! It's true, Madam Liang."

After saying that, Baoyue prayed in her heart: "Bodhisattvas and Buddhas in heaven and earth, my young lady is so innocent and naive, she believes everything that others say!"

If any of your promises are wrong, please don't blame the lady; just come find me directly.

Baoyue recited it ten times in a row, and Liang Sheng's acupuncture finally took effect.

"Mother!" Liang Sheng called out weakly.

Upon hearing her son's voice, Madam Liang had no more doubts. She looked at Lin Yunche with gratitude and said, "Dr. Lin, you are truly the most skilled doctor here."

"Madam did not lie to me!"

Lin Yunche stood up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "I wouldn't call my medical skills outstanding!"

"It just so happens that he knows how to treat this type of illness."

"What about my son?"

"Take two more doses of medicine and you'll be fine."

"Thank you, Dr. Lin."

Madam Liang walked to the bedside, took Liang Sheng's hand, and sighed inwardly, "Since Heaven hasn't forsaken her son, isn't there a glimmer of hope for this calamity in Huaizhou City?" (End of Chapter)
