Chapter 94: Never give up on small things, and work hard for a long time

Thinking of this, Lin Zhiqingliu felt a headache, but she didn't show it on her face at all.

"Are you going to find Mrs. Ling?" Lu Huai placed his hands on his knees and stared into Lin Zhiqing's eyes.

"Yes." There was nothing to deny, she said frankly, "Madam Ling, the Minister of Justice, is the brother of my patient."

Lu Huai knew in his heart that apart from Jianxin Hall, he could not think of any channel through which Lin Zhiqing could contact the Ling family.

Lord Ling refused to let Lin Zhiqing in, which was definitely not the right attitude to treat a doctor. The only one left was Madam Ling.

Lu Huai's throat tightened, and he didn't know whether he should say certain things.

Lin Zhiqing saw his hesitation and asked, "Do you want me to stop wasting my energy? Madam Ling won't help me?"

She was right.

Lu Huai didn't say anything, which was considered as his agreement.

Lin Zhiqing understood and chuckled, "Don't give up on the little things, and you will achieve success over time."

No matter how small the possibility is, you should not give up. Only by keeping going can you know what the outcome will be.

"If I give up so easily now, wouldn't that be betraying the kindness you showed me in helping me? And even more so, betraying the me who struggled so hard in the past."

She was referring to the incident when she was framed for poisoning her cousin.

"Don't give up on small things, and work hard for a long time to achieve success..." Lu Huai murmured to himself, and his thoughts went back to that time.

Lin Zhiqing climbed up from the edge of the cliff.

After a long while, he finally smiled: "Lin Zhiqing, you are very different from before."

Lin Zhiqing paused and habitually turned his gaze to Lu Huai's face.

There was still a smile on his face, but one of his eyebrows was raised, and his fingers tapped lightly on his thigh. Although the amplitude was small, it was still caught by Lin Zhiqing.

And Lu Huai was also staring at him.

She met Lu Huai's eyes and realized that he was trying to understand her. She immediately became alert.

"I'm stuck in a dead end. If I continue to be as clueless as before, I'll eventually die."

"I don't want to die after coming to this world."

Her tone was very calm, but Lu Huai could hear a strong desire to survive in it.

He averted his gaze and asked about another matter: "I heard about the Qianjin Pavilion incident. Have Old Master Lin and Lin Jiusi returned to Bianliang?"

Lin Zhiqing nodded, this matter could not be hidden from others.

After receiving a positive answer, Lu Huai lowered his head and remained silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

While the two were talking, the Ling family arrived. After Lin Zhiqing got off the car, he thought of Lu Huai's suspicion about his identity just now, so he said:

"Thank you for making these two trips with me. If I have the chance someday, I will definitely come to thank you. You still have official business to attend to, so I don't want to delay you."

After all, her identity was sensitive. Firstly, she didn't want to drag Lu Huai down, and secondly, she always felt that Lu Huai might be suspicious of something.

This is very dangerous for her.

Lu Huai curled his lips: "It's already been delayed, it won't hurt to wait a little longer."

After saying this, he leaned against the inner wall of the carriage, closed his eyes and rested, obviously not intending to leave any room for Lin Zhiqing to break away.

Lin Zhiqing didn't waste any more time talking to him, and turned around and walked towards the Ling family's gate. Mrs. Ling's brother suffered from bipolar disorder and had been receiving treatment from Lin Zhiqing for some time.

Madam Ling doted on this younger brother very much. It was she who asked Miss Bai to find her.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhiqing knocked on the door of the Ling family.

Unexpectedly, the doorman frowned as soon as he saw her: "What can I do for you, Miss Lin?"

Lin Zhiqing's heart skipped a beat. This doorman had never seen him before, but he could directly call out his identity. It was obvious that someone had greeted him in advance.

"I want to see Madam Ling. Please do me a favor and let them know that the doctor from Jianxin Hall is here." As she said this, she took off the purse tied around her waist, took out the largest-denomination silver note from it and stuffed it into the doorman's hand.

But the doorman pulled his hand away as if he had seen something dirty. "Miss Lin, my master is the Dali Temple Minister. You are trying to bribe me right under his nose. I'm sorry, I can't obey your orders."

He rolled his eyes as he spoke: "But if you have an urgent matter, I can accommodate you..."

Seeing the greedy smile on his face, Lin Zhiqing knew very well that this kind of people would most likely take money but not do anything. She put the banknote back into her purse and left without hesitation.

The doorman was stunned. Shouldn't Lin Zhiqing give him more money and beg him to be lenient?

"Damn it! You're so stupid, you deserve to get into trouble!" The doorman spat out the door.

Lin Zhiqing's eyes were slightly cold. He ignored the doorman's sarcasm and just thought about the current situation in his mind.

The doorman refused to let him in, most likely because Madam Ling or the Dali Temple Minister had given him a heads-up. It seemed that the Lin family's affairs were very tricky, so these two people would ignore Madam Ling's brother's illness and refuse to let him in.

After getting on the carriage, Lin Zhiqing was quite silent.

Lu Huai sighed slightly: "My sister will definitely ask father for help. If you want to see Master Lin Si, you'd better wait a little longer."

Although Uncle Lu was a great scholar of the time, he was no longer in the court. The space he could operate in was limited. Lin Zhiqing couldn't wait, but she didn't refuse: "Thank you, Uncle Lu."

Lu Huai nodded, then turned to talk about another matter: "The matter of the remnants of the bandits has affected many people. Marquis Zhenyuan and Prince Jiang received orders to leave the city at dawn today."

"I happened to meet him on the way to the clinic, and he asked me to tell you."

Lin Zhiqing narrowed his eyes. What a coincidence.

As soon as the Lin family got into trouble, the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion was transferred away.

There are two possibilities for this matter. First, the Zhenyuan Marquisate did not want to be implicated by the Lin family and volunteered to leave Shengjing City.

Second, who else but the emperor can mobilize them?
It has been more than ten days since the incident of the remnants of the bandits. It is really far-fetched that it must be dealt with today instead of earlier or later.

But although the Marquis of Zhenyuan was powerful, he was not to the extent of being able to call the wind and rain, and he would certainly not come up with such a poor excuse at this critical juncture.

If Jiang Liuyun really wanted to stay away from the Lin family, there would be no need for Lu Huai to bring a message to him.

Therefore, Lin Zhiqing felt that the second possibility was more likely.

Lu Huai also specifically emphasized that he met Jiang Liuyun during the Mao period, which is between five and seven in the morning.

Calculating the time, the night watchman had not yet discovered Concubine Chun's body, and the Ministry of Justice had not arrested Fourth Uncle, so the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion should have been unaware of it.

This makes things clearer.

Lin Zhiqing took a deep breath. Her opponent was too powerful.

The Lin family had been a thorn for so long that it finally pricked the emperor's lungs.

Jiang Liuyun is her nominal fiancé, and the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion is very caring towards her. Transferring them away is nothing more than making the Lin family lose a supporter.

In just a few hours, such a meticulous calculation was made. It was obvious that they wanted to take this opportunity to uproot the Lin family!
