Lin Zhao returned to the main courtyard and saw that the yard was full of trouble. Chu was taken back to the bedroom by Lin Huai. Bo and his other people stood under the corridor outside the door, and their faces were full of fear. Hu was sweating in his face. Seeing Lin Zhao coming quickly, his eyes dodged and he stood uneasy and wanted to leave Lin's mansion immediately.

Lin Zhao glanced at her and went into the inner room without asking more questions. Chu was lying on the couch, his face was as thin as gold paper, his breath was weak, and he had long been unconscious. Lin Zhao had never seen Chu's illness so severely since he was a child. He felt a pain in his heart, "Mother--"

Lin Huai sighed heavily, holding Chu's hand tightly before he put it down. The two young couples had a deep relationship for many years. Chu had a heartache earlier, but he had never fallen to the ground like this. Thinking of Hu's unreasonable behavior just now, Lin Huai almost began to regret the marriage. "Don't worry, when you Uncle Cheng comes, you have sent someone to invite him."

Lin Zhao is not in a hurry now, "Has the mother's usual medicine been used? Why did she get into the ground make a fuss like this?"

Lin Huai sighed again, "The medicine has been fed. As for today's affairs, the Bo family wants to set the wedding date of your and Xian'er in the winter months. Your mother and I feel that time is too tight, so we plan to set it next year as before. But Xian'er's mother is unwilling, and she also said that she would hire an official matchmaker to perform the rituals when she goes back. Whether we want it or not, we must set the wedding date first. Your mother was so angry that she fainted-"

Lin Zhao was stunned. The two families always discussed their marriages in a friendly manner. Even if the Bo family was anxious, they would not make such a fuss. What's more, they had agreed to get married next year, so why do they force themselves to come to the door like this?

The Bo family was also a scholarly family in Lin Zhao's eyes. He was a noble family. He could not imagine what Bo's mother would look like when she said these things. But when she looked at Chu's dying appearance, she felt a pain in her heart, fearing that something would happen to Chu's family.

Under the corridor outside the door, Bo Yixian and Bo Yixuan also arrived. Bo Yixian looked at Hu with a pale face and gritted her teeth and said, "Mother, what's going on? How could you faint from Aunt Lin's anger?"

The last time Hu angered Chu's trouble, but later Bo Yixian forced her to bring someone to give her gifts. The Lin family was generous and generous, so she didn't care. Bo Jingqian went north and Lin Huai was responsible for it, so that he could suffer less on the road. On the day of leaving, he went out of the city to see him, which was enough for Bo Yixian. It was when Bo Yixian saw this scene that she thought of setting up the engagement period while the iron was hot, but she never expected such a scene to happen.

Hu's face became pale, "I...I'm for your daughter. Don't you want to get married early? But they don't want to, and they still want to set the wedding date next year. I said, "I'll ask the official media to set your days when I go back. The days have been set. Do their Lin family still want to recognize you? I... I just said this, but she was so angry that she fell down--"

There were still many servants of the Lin family guarding the yard. Seeing Hu saying this, they all turned their eyes on Bo Yixian. They didn't seem to expect that Bo Yixian was in a hurry to marry into Lin.

Bo Yixian was anxious and angry. Seeing that Hu was so unrestrained, her face turned red with shame. However, compared to the embarrassment of being anxious to get married, she was more worried about what happened to Chu today. She knew that once Chu was really angry, not to mention that the wedding date was set in winter, it was a problem whether this marriage still existed or not.

Bo Yixian looked at Hu hatefully, feeling that she was not enough to make a mistake. When she wanted to go inside the door, she was stopped by the servants of the Lin family. The maid who was holding her looked at her coldly, "Miss Bo pays attention to her identity. This is the master and his wife's bedroom. The girl can wait outside."

In the past, the servants of Lin's family were quite respectful to her, and even if they were blocked, they were polite. He never said so bluntly. Bo Yixian felt extremely humiliated, but at the moment, she could only grit her teeth and endure it.

The Lin family was west of Changshoufang, and the Cheng family's new house was east of Changshoufang. Because of this, Cheng Yunzhi arrived after waiting for two incense sticks. The Lin family was anxious and even more frightened. Cheng Yunzhi did not dare to delay. He immediately took Bo Ruoyou to Lin Mansion. After entering the main courtyard, he realized that the two rooms of Bo's family were here.

Bo Yixian didn't expect that the doctor invited by the Lin family was Cheng Yunzhi. She was both hated and jealous in her heart, but she also hoped that Cheng Yunzhi would cure the Chu family so that she would not make a mistake. But Bo Ruoyou saw them and saw that the servants in the yard were indifferent to them, and she had already guessed three points when she moved her heart.

Cheng Yunzhi nodded to Bo Jingli and took Bo Ruoyou into the door.

They couldn't enter this door, but Cheng Yunzhi's father and daughter were unimpeded. Bo Yixian felt aroused, and she felt that the door was separated by her and Lin Zhao, but she put Bo Ruoyou and Lin Zhao in the same place. She looked anxious and paced back and forth impatiently.

Lin Huai in the house saw Cheng Yunzhi and seemed to have seen a life-saving straw. "Yunzhi, save Shuning quickly—"

Lin Huai's voice was trembling. Looking at Lin Zhao again, his eyes were also anxious, "Uncle Cheng, you can save your mother--"

Cheng Yunzhi came up and started asking about his pulse without saying anything. As soon as his fingertips hit the pulse door, his brows also frowned. Seeing his expression, Lin Huai and his heart skipped a beat. Lin Huai said, "How?"

Cheng Yunzhi said calmly: "The pulse is stringy, thin, deep and astringent. Perhaps it is because of the hidden disease of blocked and damaged heart pulse. It was triggered after being frightened and angry today. Do she feel palpitations, breathing, and pain in her heart on weekdays?"

When Lin Huai heard this, he nodded quickly, "Some of them had an attack a few days ago, but it was not so serious. I used some decoctions to recuperate for a few days."

Cheng Yunzhi nodded, "That's it. Now I just look at the pulse condition. I will prescribe a life-saving prescription. I will first boil the medicine to feed her, and then I will give her an injection. Whether she can wake up depends on God's will."

Lin Huai shook his body and immediately ordered someone to bring paper and pen. Cheng Yunzhi wrote a prescription in just a few breaths. Lin Huai ordered someone to use it to boil medicine. Fortunately, the medicinal materials used were prepared at home.

In this moment, Cheng Yunzhi opened the medical box he brought. While asking Bo Ruoyou to take out the silver needle and wipe it with strong wine, he continued to ask about his pulse and breathe, and asked about Chu Shuning's usual discomfort. Soon the medicine was boiled and sent. Cheng Yunzhi ordered Lin Huai to feed Chu Shuning, and then gave her an acupuncture.

During this period, Chu Shuning woke up for a moment, but she was unconscious. Cheng Yunzhi breathed a sigh of relief, "If you can wake up, you will be saved. It will take at least an hour for me to apply the needle this time. You can go outside and wait."

Lin Huai didn't care about these things, but suddenly remembered that the Bo family was still outside. As a man, he had been very patient with Hu, but now seeing Chu Shuning as such, he didn't care about politeness or politeness anymore. He walked out of the bedroom and called the butler: "The Bo family is still there?"

"The master here has been waiting outside."

Lin Huai sneered briefly, "Let them go home. Now that the wife is seriously ill, she can't entertain them anymore."

The butler left, and soon there was a fierce voice outside the house. However, Lin Huai had already made such an order, so the butler naturally did not let go. After a few more words, the Bo family left in shame.

Cheng Yunzhi and Bo Ruoyou both heard this, but they looked calm and didn't ask much. Lin Huai turned around and looked at Cheng Yunzhi, then looked at Bo Ruoyou, and sighed deeply. Lin Zhao's face was also uncomfortable.

It took an hour to apply the needle. After Cheng Yunzhi got the needle and waited for a while, Chu Shuning had really woken up. She fell to the ground this time, but she never expected that when she opened her eyes, she immediately turned red when she saw her husband and son. Lin Huai stepped forward to hold her hand. Only then did she see Cheng Yunzhi and Bo Ruoyou were there.

Cheng Yunzhi saw that people woke up and his heart was settled, "I have saved my life, but this disease cannot be underestimated. Fortunately, you are still young. If you fall like this in a few years, you are afraid that it will be difficult to save it. After today, take good care of yourself and do not be shocked and angry."

Chu Shuning naturally thanked her, and several people accompanied her for a while. After taking the medicine, Chu Shuning fell asleep again. Lin Huai then felt sorry for Cheng Yunzhi and Bo Ruoyou. After waiting for the servants to have tea, Lin Huai sighed bitterly, "I won't hide it from you anymore. Shuning was angry with Yixian's mother today, and for nothing else, just for the wedding date, they want to get married again in the winter months-"

Bo Ruoyou drank tea with his eyebrows and Cheng Yunzhi was not in a state of trouble when he heard this. "I said at the beginning that if you make a choice, you will have to bear the consequences. Bo's family... you always know the details."

Lin Huai's smile became more and more bitter. At this time, his eyes fell on Bo Ruoyou, and he felt that she was quiet and well-behaved. He withdrew his gaze, "Maybe I was wrong back then, one wrong step, every step wrong, and today I almost killed Shuning, so no wonder others."

Cheng Yunzhi didn't answer much, as if he agreed with this. Lin Huai couldn't hold on his face and asked about their new house again. Cheng Yunzhi simply answered. Seeing that it was getting late outside, he wanted to say goodbye. Lin Huai still wanted to keep them for dinner, but Chu Shuning was seriously ill, so he still refused Lin Huai's kindness.

Lin Huai felt a little ashamed. Cheng Yunzhi talked to him and came to visit him again the next day. The father and son personally sent Cheng Yunzhi's father and daughter out. Seeing their carriage leave, Lin Huai sighed heavily again.

Lin Zhao was listening, thinking that Bo Ruoyou passed by the mansion today, almost without saying a word, and he was worried about his mother and did not care about it. However, what Lin Huai and Cheng Yunzhi said just now seemed to be some old things. He hesitated for a moment and did not ask too much. He thought that Cheng Yunzhi would come to see his mother for several days in the future, and felt a little relieved.

On the carriage back home, Cheng Yunzhi also sighed a little, "I'm afraid the Bo family is anxious. After being punished, their family will be the first to fall into the trap. Lin Huai is about to be promoted, and most of them are worried that the Lin family will regret the marriage."

He snorted mockingly, "After feeling guilty, I can't hold back my anger. This marriage has been circulating in the capital for many years. As long as they wait patiently, the higher the Lin Huai's position, the less likely they will regret the marriage. With such a fuss today, it's really an unknown idea how to plan for this marriage."

Bo Ruoyou didn't expect the Lin family to be so fucked. But she didn't care about Lin Zhao and Bo Yixian's marriage, so she asked about Chu Shuning's illness. Cheng Yunzhi told her carefully, and after a moment of contemplation, he said: "I'm afraid that the Bo family is also nervous now, but if they say that the marriage is over, they may not be willing to give up. In the future, you don't have to follow him if your adoptive father goes to the Lin family to visit you."

Cheng Yunzhi was afraid that she would come to the Bo family and Bo Ruoyou would respond.

Early the next morning, when Cheng Yunzhi arrived at the Lin family, he did not bring Bo Ruoyou with him. When Lin Zhao came out to greet him, he looked into the carriage twice, and was sure that only one of Cheng Yun came and was a little disappointed.

After entering the bedroom of the main courtyard, Chu Shuning had already woken up and was taking medicine. After Cheng Yunzhi asked about the pulse, he gave her an injection for an hour. It was not until the sun was on the middle of the sky. At this time, the housekeeper outside came to report that someone from the Bo family had come.

Bo Yixian came to the door to apologize with Mrs. Hu and Bo Yixuan.

Lin Huai refused when he heard this, "I won't see you, let them go back. The lady is still ill. She has not recovered for a day and will not see you for a day. The door of Lin's mansion is not something that anyone wants to enter."

The housekeeper naturally went out to drive people away, and then Chu Shuning asked, "Why didn't you see Youyou come?"

Cheng Yunzhi said gently: "The case in the yamen is not yet decided. She went to the yamen today and knew that your illness was stable for the time being, so she would come to visit you with me another day."

Chu Shuning sighed, "Youyou is a good boy."

She looked like she wanted to speak but stopped, but Cheng Yunzhi did not answer this and instead asked her to recuperate. Lin Huai and Chu Shuning both saw that he had avoided him, so naturally he didn't say much. When Cheng Yunzhi said goodbye in the afternoon, Chu Shuning sighed.

Lin Zhao still thought she was still angry, so he naturally comforted her. Chu Shuning looked at him with a silence, "Zhao'er, my mother is not a person who dislikes the poor and loves the rich. Why is she unwilling to agree to Bo's early wedding this time? She really thinks about your career path with your father. This book is beyond reproach. It's Bo's unreasonable, do you understand?"

Lin Zhao later asked about the causes and consequences of yesterday, and he had his own right and wrong measures in his heart, "Mother, I understand."

Chu Shuning caressed her heart, "In the past, Yixian was a good person, and the marriage was decided early. Your father and I treated her as your unfamiliar wife, but now my mother thinks this marriage is not good, especially her mother, who is really not a good person. You and your father are in the same court as an official, have already become fearful. If your family in the future are uneasy, wouldn't it be a waste of your future?"

Lin Zhao looked for a moment, "But can you still regret the marriage now? This marriage has been decided for many years, and everyone in the capital knows that if the marriage is regretted at this moment, Lin will betray Xinyi, and Bo will be more insulted. Yixian is a woman, which will also damage her reputation."

Although he was rational, his voice was quite difficult, which showed that he was also feeling dissatisfied. Chu Shuning suddenly asked, "Zhaoer, do you think of Yixian for ten minutes?"

Lin Zhao listened to this, but there was no emotion on his face and said sincerely: "This is a marriage that my mother and father have made for me, so I naturally like it."

This sentence made Chu Shuning stunned. Looking at Lin Zhao's dim eyes, he felt more and more distressed to him, "You don't know... back then..."

Chu Shuning looked at Lin Huai with a silence, but Lin Huai didn't answer. She had to swallow this again, covering her heart with one hand, and showed pain, "It's all my fault and your father. You shouldn't be damned. Now that you are making such a mess, even now, it's hard for me and your father to speak out. But when you think about you being chased like this in the future, maybe you will have no peace in your family, so your mother will be able to accept this marriage willingly."

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that her heart was hard to understand. Lin Huai saw this and quickly persuaded her again. After comforting her for a while, Chu Shuning closed her eyes and lay down. Lin Zhao had been serving her for a long time. Lin Huai asked him to rest on his own when she saw this. Lin Zhao had to leave first.

After retreating, the servant beside him walked up to him and whispered: "Young Master, Mr. Bo and Miss are waiting outside the side door, saying that you would like to meet you-"

Lin Zhao frowned. After thinking about it, he still walked towards the side door. As soon as he went out, he saw the Bo brother and sister standing in the quiet alley. When they saw him, they all showed surprise. Bo Yixian walked forward quickly, his eyes were red, "Brother Zhao, how are Aunt?"

Lin Zhao looked at her and couldn't calm down, and he was still polite, "It's better."

Bo Yixian blinked and tears fell, "Brother Zhao, it's all my mother's fault. My father was guilty. My mother was very nervous, afraid that you would dislike us, so she became anxious. I know that we have committed a great crime this time. Now that my aunt doesn't want to see us, we won't come to complain. If you are better off, we will come to take the blame again."

Lin Zhao took a deep breath, "Why are you suddenly anxious to get married early?" He gritted his teeth and finally couldn't help but show some criticism. "What I originally said was next year. My father and mother didn't want to get early, so we can discuss why my aunt could say such unreasonable words. How could this be the behavior of poetry, books and etiquette families?"

Lin Zhao said again: "I heard from the servants that your mother said personally, do you want to get married early?"

This made Bo Yixian's face flush and her eyes trembled slightly, "I... Brother Zhao, I'm also afraid. You don't understand. After my father was convicted, there was no conversation in the capital. Even the county has less contact with me. I..."

She looked up at Lin Zhao, and tears fell, "We have been engaged for several years, and Brother Zhao also understood my thoughts. I didn't expect it to be so long. I thought Brother Zhao was willing to get married earlier, so I never stopped my mother..."

Seeing her crying so sadly, Lin Zhao couldn't blame her for a weak woman. Thinking of the two families' confirmation of being close to each other for many years, if nothing happened to the Bo family, it would be a good story in the eyes of everyone in the capital. Bo Yixian has been treating him with great care since childhood, and he also saw it. Now that the Bo family is in such a situation, it is understandable that she wants to find a support in the family's crisis.

Lin Zhao pressed down his throat with bitterness, "My mother is bedridden and recuperating. I want to serve her in the near future. You don't have to come to the door every day. Let's discuss the rest when my mother is well. Let's go back home."

After Lin Zhao said that, he turned around and entered the mansion. Bo Yixian looked at his back with tears disappearing, and then raised his hand to wipe the tears. The sadness and regret on her face dissipated, and then a little indifferent resentment appeared. Bo Yixuan looked at her and felt a little strange. He was with her to apologize. The sadness she cried before made people feel that she regretted and shouldn't force Lin, but at this moment, he felt that Bo Yixian was not as blaming as he imagined.

Chu's illness was not day and night, and it was quite difficult to recuperate. When Cheng Yunzhi came on the third day, he still came alone. Lin Zhao took leave in the mansion to serve the disease, and he still came to receive Cheng Yunzhi. After seeing the doctor that day, Lin Zhao sat in Chu's room and became stunned. Chu saw it and felt even more distressed.

That evening, Lin Huai returned to the mansion and the family talked for a while. When Lin Huai saw Lin Zhao's face was exhausted, he asked him to rest first. Lin Zhao responded, but went out to the kitchen to get Chu's last medicine today.

In the inner room, when Lin Zhao left, Chu Shuning said in tears: "Lin Huai, how is this good? Zhaoer doesn't really like Yixian. It's just that he has accepted this engagement since he was a child and just wants to obey his parents' orders. But you and I have chosen such a marriage for him again. How can you harm him in the future--"

Lin Huai remained silent. In a few days, he seemed to have grown a little bit older. Chu Shuning sighed, "I regret it a little. If Yunzhi had just returned to Beijing, we would have changed the marriage back then. Wouldn't it be less entanglement?"

Chu Shuning recalled, "Although Zhao'er had not grown up with Youyou since childhood, I saw that he was quite enthusiastic about Youyou, at least he loved this sister, and Youyou's temperament was purer than Yixian."

"Yi Xian knew what happened to the marriage back then. She was anxious to get married this time, but she was afraid that she would have caused changes like her mother. If she had known this, I would not have changed my kinship back then. If we had been kinship with Youyou over the years, even if we couldn't wait to change it, it would be better to get into another girl from the Bo family."

Lin Huai sighed, "It's too late to say this now. Yunzhi said he would never pursue this matter again, so he really wouldn't pursue it. You have seen that now we are having trouble with the Bo family, but he doesn't argue much. This is to stay out of the matter."

Chu Shuning felt regretful when she thought of this. She was about to raise her hand to wipe her tears, but at first glance, she saw the shadow falling from outside the door of the inner room into the ground. She was shocked and hurriedly asked, "Who is outside?"

The footsteps sounded, and soon, Lin Zhao, who was surprised and walked in with a bowl of medicine. Lin Huai and Chu Shuning's expressions changed slightly, and then he heard Lin Zhao's speech and asked hard: "You are just saying that the person who got engaged to me back then was Ruoyou sister?"

...

On the fifth day of Bo Ruoyou's trip to the yamen, Liu Yao's case was finally settled. Although she didn't need to have an autopsy, she helped the civil servants to supervise the documents and files, and was busy all day long. On that day, Wu Xiang gave her the last certificate to copy, and sighed and sat down on the open chair beside her. "It can be considered that all the evidence and evidence of the people have been found. After two days, she can be convicted. The case is over, let's take a good rest."

The other civil servants followed suit, but Bo Ruoyou didn't say anything. She wrote beautiful small calligraphy very well. The files she copied always seemed particularly neat and strict. Wu Xiang's eyes fell on her and sighed helplessly.

He saw that Bo Ruoyou was deliberately trying to find something for him. Thinking of the rumors in the capital these days, he felt a little sorry for this little girl.

Liu Heng confessed to Liu Yao's murder, but it was necessary to make a decision in court, and a lot of evidence was needed.

As Bo Ruoyou expected, after Liu Yao was confined to Shuiyue Temple, Liu Heng did go to Shuiyue Temple more than once. At the end of February, early April, and early June, Liu Heng used different excuses to Shuiyue Temple. The methods used were to let the servant pretend to be himself and act as a servant.

Two times in February and April, he knew that there was no one in Shuiyue Temple for two days, so he went to the flower building by Weiyang Lake and booked two rooms for two nights. While the person was unprepared, he ordered the servant to stay in the building, and he rode his horse out of the city to meet Liu Yao. Later, he went there with Liu Xu once, all to appease Liu Yao.
