♂?，，

  This conversation in Chuihuitang was leaked by Zhu Ma to Lin Lan when she went to pay her respects on the second day.

  "Abortion medicine is really effective, it's better for the second wife not to eat it again..."

  The old witch indeed took out the abortion pill and spoke of it, no wonder the old lady saw her face change color.

  Lin Lan thanked and bid farewell to her mother-in-law, who had been worried about her for several days but didn't see the old lady making things difficult for her, thinking that this matter had already passed.

  By the end of February, Eldest Brother and Second and Fifth Masters arrived in the capital. They had set out on the third day of the New Year and traveled day and night.

  The best reunion, Second Master and Fifth Master voluntarily said they wanted to go familiarize themselves with the new business, Lin Lan also went along to visit the new shop.

  "Wonderful, sister! The scale of this medicine shop is much larger than Hu's. I thought it was just a joke at first, but it really came true."

  "Yes, Master received a letter and specially asked Fifth Brother to buy a bottle of good huadiao wine and five catties of beef. He sat alone under the pear tree in the courtyard drinking until dawn." Second Brother Zhao said with a disgruntled expression, his mood quite melancholic.

  Lin Lan smiled and said: "Second Brother, are you saying that it's more enjoyable with a group than alone?"

  Mozi smiled slyly and said: "Second Master is smelling that wine fragrance, the wine worms in his belly have been restless for a whole night."

  Zhao Rendao said, "Ever since we all got drunk together two years ago, Master has not allowed anyone to drink again." He said with extreme sadness and indignation, "Such a big happy occasion, but only he himself is making an exception."

  Li Mingyun couldn't help but smile: "Tonight I'll be the host, let's invite Big Uncle and two older brothers to have a good drink."

  Zhao Ren's face lit up with a smile, and he suddenly thought of something and asked: "Is Shifu going or not?"

  Lin Lan glanced at Li Mingyun, then looked at the two senior brothers and smiled: "I won't go, so as not to make you uncomfortable. But I warn you, don't get Mingyun drunk, otherwise I'll take revenge, and you can weigh it for yourself."

  Zhao Ren and Mo Zi's faces turned pale with fear, hastily saying: "We dare not, we dare not."

  Lin Feng said, "Don't worry, sister. Before Master left, he instructed me to keep an eye on them! If they don't behave and get lazy, I'll immediately send them back."

  Zhao Ren and Mo Ziyou looked like bitter melons, whispering in a low voice: "It's true that if there is a sister, there must be a brother. It seems that the days in the capital are not easy either."

  "It's still better than being under Master's eyelids..."

  Lin Lan couldn't help but purse her lips and laugh.

  Li Mingyun asked Mo Ziyu in a low voice: "Last time you said that the most terrible thing about Lan'er was drinking, wasn't it?"

  Mozi wandered into a strange path: "Could it be that you have also learned a lesson?"

  Li Mingyun's eyes twitched, and He Zhi led the way, simply furious.

  "Let's go to the back and take a look at the residence. This house has a small courtyard, which serves as both a warehouse and an accountant's residence. The backyard leads out to a quiet alley, and right across from it is an empty house that no one lives in. Ming Yun rented it immediately. It's a two-story house with three rooms, and the three of us will live there first. Later, we can move again when we find a more suitable place." Lin Lan led everyone towards the back.

  "I think it's fine, the key is that it's close to the shop, we come and go conveniently, us three rough men, a few wooden plank beds can make do, no need to be so particular?"

  Li Mingyun smiled and said: "One of them is Lin Lan's elder brother, two are the chief physicians of Linji, how can we neglect them?"

  Lin Lan was taken aback: "Lin Ji?"

  Li Mingyun smiled faintly: "How about this name? I thought of it last night, simple and clear. If you don't object, tomorrow I'll have someone make a plaque."

  Zhao Ren smiled and clapped his hands: "Great, Master Hu is called Hu Ji, and Sister Lin is called Lin Ji. Simple and easy to remember."

  Mozi You said with a sly smile: "I thought it would be called Muzi Hall."

  Lin Feng argued with him: "Why, it's better to call Mumu Hall."

  Lin Lan listened to them getting more and more absurd: "Stop! Just call it Lin's, no need to discuss further." Everyone stopped talking and began to visit their residence with interest. Lin Lan poked Li Mingyun and whispered: "A top scholar, can't even think of a name with some connotation for me."

  Li Mingyu smiled and said, "It's a pharmacy, what's the point of those elegant names? The key is that it's easy to remember. Later on, when people mention Linji, they'll think of Dr. Lin, isn't that great?"

  Lin Lan gave him a glance: "I still remember Lin's baozi!"

  "By the way, about my brother's matter, when will you take him to see Big Brother Zheng?" Lin Lan asked.

  Li Mingyun touched his nose and hesitated: "I think I'll make other arrangements for Brother."

  I saw Zi Yu the other day and was scolded by him... How could I arrange for my nephew to become a constable? If it were still the old days when he was just a rural hunter, saying that being a constable is not a big deal, at least there's a steady income. But now he's Li Mingyu's nephew, his status is different, how can he just settle for a few meals? Don't look at Zheng Ge's glory, he's a famous constable, ordinary constables are looked down upon. Moreover, their descendants are not allowed to participate in the imperial examination, even if my nephew doesn't have much talent, it can't be guaranteed that his children won't have any either. What if his children are very talented and are messed up by reckless planning, making them unable to make a name for themselves...

  Li Mingyun was confused by Zi Yu's words, but thinking about it, Zi Yu made sense. He didn't think this through and went to ask Ning Xing for advice. Ning Xing said that with his martial arts skills, joining the military camp would be the best option. If he had achievements in battle, he could quickly rise through the ranks. With war looming on the horizon, everyone's chance had come. If he wanted to enter the Western Mountain Camp, this small matter was still within his control. But the key question was, would Lin Lan agree? Would Big Brother himself be willing?

  "Didn't we all agree with Brother Zheng?" Lin Lan asked in surprise.

  Li Ming allowed with a smile: "It's settled then, we can go anytime, but the problem is..."

  "What's wrong?" Lin Lan was puzzled, she didn't know that the profession of a catcher was far from being as majestic as it seemed, just like modern city managers, five or six people would gather to overturn a stall or trample on a basket, actually it was nothing.

  Li Mingyu explained the situation to her, and Lin Lan said: "That's not going to work, absolutely not going to work. I thought being a police officer was more powerful than that!"

  "So, I think if he doesn't want to go to Ningxing, I'll arrange another task for him."

  Lin Lan fell silent for a moment before saying, "Let's ask Ge about it then! I don't want to make decisions on his behalf."

  After settling down the three of them, Lin Lan returned to the Li residence first. Li Mingyu accompanied them to Yuxiangju for a drink.

  Lin Lan returned to the mansion and first went to report to the old witch, similar to reporting back to work after a leave of absence.

  She went to Ninghe Hall and Cuizhi told her that Madam had asked her to return to the mansion and then go to Chaohui Hall.

  Lin Lan recently went to Chao Hui Tang and got special treatment because of Bai Hua's matter. The old witch was scolded by Li Jia's father, so the old witch had to work harder to curry favor with the old lady. If she couldn't be a good wife, she would try to be a good daughter-in-law. As long as she had the old lady's strong shield of protection, she could rest easy.

  Lin Lan was about to turn around and leave when Cui Zhi hastily called out to her: "Second Young Mistress..."

  "Is anything wrong, Cui Zhi?"

  Cui Zhī hesitated for a moment, cautiously looked around and whispered: "The lady has invited the doctor..."

  "Is the doctor here? Who's feeling unwell?" Lin Lan was a bit bewildered.

  Cui Zhi said in a low voice: "In short... Please be careful when responding to the Second Young Mistress." After finishing, Cui Zhi hurriedly walked away.

  Lin Lan was stunned for a moment, what did Cui Zhi want her to be careful about? Why did Cui Zhi want to help her? Cui Zhi was the old witch's personal maid... These questions were quite complicated and difficult to figure out in a short time. Lin Lan shifted her focus back to inviting the doctor, Old Lady had fallen ill while she was not at home, so the old witch invited another doctor to treat her, which made Old Lady unhappy.

  Lin Lansi shook her head again, she had informed the old lady about going out today, and the old lady had no reason to blame her. Cuizhi's deliberate warning should not be that simple.

  Cui Zhi returned to the house, closed the door and leaned against it, patting her chest a few times, taking several deep breaths. She was still feeling a bit fearful, unsure if Second Young Master's wife had understood her warning. With a cold gaze, she observed that Madam had done many wrongdoings over the years, especially after Second Young Master returned to the manor. No matter how hard Madam schemed, Second Young Master always managed to turn danger into opportunity, and as a result, Madam gradually lost her former status in Old Master's heart. Outsiders didn't know that when Old Master stayed in Ninghe Hall, he mostly slept in his study, showing just how cold and distant he was towards Madam. As Second Young Master gained power, whether inside or outside the manor, Cui Zhi took a risk to help Second Young Master's wife today, also leaving herself a way out.

  Ru Yi followed behind, muttering: "Cui Zhi is also like that, speaking half-truths and leaving the rest to guesswork. What did you ask Doctor Guan about Second Young Master's wife? It's not as if he was treating her illness."

  Lin Lan suddenly felt a surge of insight, and her eyes gleamed with inspiration. She couldn't help but look serious: "Ruyi, return to Luoxia immediately."

  As if Second Young Madam's face suddenly changed color, her heart also tightened. Did Second Young Madam guess something? She quickened her pace to follow Second Young Madam.

  As soon as Lin Lan entered the courtyard, Yunying reported: "Madam asked Second Young Master's wife to go to Chaohui Hall immediately after returning."

  Lin Lan responded with one sentence: "Got it." and went straight into the main room.

  "Yin Liu stays behind, everyone else leaves first."

  Yu Rong and Ruyi stood face to face, exchanged a glance, bowed, and retreated silently, closing the door behind them.

  "Silver willow, quickly bring me my medicine box." Lin Lan said as she untied her belt and pulled down her clothes.

  "Light the candle and fetch the silver needle." Lin Lan instructed.

  Yinliu handed over the silver needle to Second Young Mistress and couldn't help but ask: "Second Young Mistress, what are you doing?"

  Lin Lan held a silver needle over the candle flame to disinfect it, furrowing her brow and saying, "It's hard to explain in just a short while."

  Yin Liu had no choice but to shut up, Second Young Mistress needed to focus when administering the needle, let alone that the object of Second Young Mistress's administration was herself.
