What does Mrs. Xie think?

  She didn't dare to think about it, the entanglement between the Xie and Yang families was too deep. Even now, the two families hardly interact with each other, but their private interests are still intertwined.

  Especially on Chao Tang Mountain, if her father and brothers had something going on, the Xie family would definitely lend a hand to help, and vice versa.

  This is what marriage is all about, so she never thought she could be apart from him.

  At this moment, looking at the expectation in Wan Jie's eyes, she also involuntarily gave rise to a thread of expectation.

  Together or apart?

  Leave Xie's family and no longer bear the surname Xie?

  Thinking of the Yang family's situation, the fire in her heart slowly went out. Just as the light was about to disappear from her eyes, Lin Qingwen grasped her hand tightly and called out to her, "Mother!"

  "As long as you want it, I'll find a way to make it happen. You don't need to worry about anything else."

  Mrs. Xie's hand trembled slightly, as if she saw the appearance of Er Lang on her body, he was also like that, knowing her hard work, so never let her worry about external things, knowing her stepmother was difficult to get along with, so she avoided Yi Yang everywhere...

  This feeling that she could rely on everything, Mrs. Xie looked at her with tears in her eyes and shook her head slightly, just about to refuse, but Lin Qingwen had already said seriously: "I understand mother's heart, you can rest assured."

  "Madam Xie's voice was hoarse and she choked with sobs: 'Child, don't get involved in this matter. Just focus on taking care of the Lin family's affairs. The matters of the Xie family are not worth your trouble.'"

  "But there's Mother here."

  "Although Mrs. Xie was moved, she thought of the consequences and then thought of her son's revenge, so she ruthlessly shook her head and said: 'Mei sister, if I leave, what about Er Lang's revenge?'"

  Yang's wife was anxious and knelt on the ground to persuade: "Madam, just now when the young master left, didn't you say that the deceased is gone..."

  "It was my fault," said Mrs. Xie in a low voice: "I let them go, but they wouldn't let me go, not even the living would they spare, and if I die again, who will still remember our family's Er Lang?"

  Lin Qingwan looked at her determined expression and knew that continuing today would be futile.

  She stood up and said, "Mother, I'll take revenge for this grudge. Those who participated in the matter will not be spared. As for that child," Lin Qingwen paused and said, "You send him back. He's only five years old. Do you really plan to raise them for over a decade and then watch them fight each other?"

  "You're impressive, but Xie Hong isn't a pushover either. Hasn't the eldest grandson of the Xie family been taken under his wing? Lin Qingwen whispered to her: "If the two brothers were evenly matched, it would be fine. Back and forth, they could naturally bring down the Xie family, but that would take at least ten years or more, possibly extending into their old age. Can you wait that long?"

  But if one is strong and the other weak, how can we be sure that Xie Hong will not cut off his own wrist, having personally cut off someone else's?

  For the sake of the family's long-term plan, Xie Hong can do such a thing, and not only Xie Hong, but many family heads at that time could also come up with this courage.

  What's the use of being sad and worried again?

  It's better to ruthlessly abandon a child than to let them drag the family down to the point of no return. In this era, no one is more important than the development of a family.

  Mrs. Xie's revenge was something she could understand at a glance, how could Xie Hong not understand?

  Now they haven't made a move against Xie Xuanyi, but that's only because he hasn't grown up to the point where he can threaten the Xie family yet.

  Xie Xuan is just a child, Lin Qingyuan doesn't want to drag him into this mire, nor does she want Mrs. Xie to be immersed in it for decades and unable to extricate herself.

  Revenge is a heartbreaking thing, damaging all five internal organs. She couldn't imagine how Mrs. Xie could get through the next few decades.

  Before, Lin Qingwan didn't have much feelings for her, she wanted to avenge herself, but for the sake of Wan Jie, she could lend a hand. Now, they had been together for almost two years, and she treated her like a mother, and she also promised Wan Jie that if there was an opportunity, she would definitely avenge Xie Yimeng.

  It's not that there aren't opportunities now, although the price to be paid is a bit high.

  Lin Qingwan's persuasion did not make Mrs. Xie retreat, but instead made her feel a surge of anger in her heart, "It's just a few decades, I can wait, but I don't know if he can."

  Lin Qingwan let out a soft sigh, glanced at Yang's nurse, and said: "Mother, I've brought Dr. Xu today, please let him take your pulse."

  Mrs. Xie frowned, "Are you suspecting that I've been poisoned? No, I'm perfectly clear-headed now... Sister Wan, I know what I'm doing..."

  "I know," Lin Qingyan said with a soothing smile, "it was Nian's mother who said you weren't sleeping well, so I invited Dr. Xu to come and take a look at you, prescribe some calming medicine, at least you have to sleep and eat well, or how can I be at peace?"

  Mrs. Xie then agreed to let Dr. Xu take her pulse.

  Yang's wife looked at him with a hopeful face, but Dr. Xu slightly shook his head, indicating that Mrs. Xie was not poisoned.

  Yang Ayi was slightly disappointed.

  If madam was poisoned and became like this, then if we find an antidote, it's all right. But that's not the case, what other way can we persuade her?

  Yang's aunt regretted it now, she shouldn't have agreed to let the lady return for revenge in the first place. At that time in Jiangnan, she said she wanted revenge, Yang's aunt saw the vitality on her body, but now, all she sees is bias.

  Yang's wife is getting old and has seen many things in her life, but her condition is very poor.

  She comforted Mrs. Xie and followed Dr. Xu out in a hurry, who was explaining to Lin Qingwen, "... Sorrow hurts the lungs, anger hurts the liver, joy hurts the heart, thinking hurts the spleen, and Mrs. Xie's emotions are unpredictable, while the injured lung also damages the kidney's will, all five spirits are damaged, which is why her temperament has changed greatly."

  Xu Daifu didn't speak like other doctors, hiding half of what he meant. He was familiar with Lin Qingwen and also knew Xie Furen well, so he spoke bluntly: "Madam Xie's emotions are unstable, which has affected her internal organs and in turn influenced her temperament."

  "Is there a way to cure it?" Yang's nurse looked at him expectantly.

  "Of course, it can be cured, but the key is whether the lady is willing to be cured," Dr. Xu sighed: "As long as the five emotions are calm and the five internal organs are slowly nursed back to health, even if there are some remaining effects from the previous medicine, it won't cause much harm."

  But can this emotion be controlled so easily? Not to mention anything else, Mrs. Xie wants revenge, can they let her see Xie Yiyang without hatred and anger?

  So Xu Daifu dislikes treating this kind of "heart disease" patient the most.

  "All he could offer was a suggestion: 'Let's get your wife out of the capital as soon as possible, away from all this trouble, so she can focus on recovering.'"

  Xu Daifu sat beside the table, picked up his pen and said: "I'll now write a prescription for her to calm her mind. First, let's get her to sleep, then leave some medicinal diet prescriptions to regulate her internal organs. The rest is up to Madame herself."

  This mental illness still needs the patient himself to get out of it, and his medicine has little effect.

  Xu Daifu was somewhat regretful, and he should have let her stay in Jiangnan for a while longer. The hallucinogenic poison still had an effect on her, and his medicine couldn't completely clear out the toxin, causing her emotions to become more and more intense, and her temperament to become increasingly biased.

  Xu Daifu didn't hide this matter from Lin Qingwan either. As soon as he left the Xie manor, he apologized to her.

  Lin Qingyan let out a soft sigh and said, "It's not your fault, I didn't expect it either."

  "Auntie, at the lady's place..."

  "No rush," Lin Qingyan said softly: "She just wants revenge."

  She has avenged that grudge now. Before, she didn't have the ability to do so and always thought of taking revenge through regular channels, but now...

  Lin Qingwan returned to the Junzhu Mansion and found Yi Han to ask, "The cause of Brother Cha Erlang's death back then was investigated by you, wasn't it?"

  Yi Han was taken aback for a moment, then lowered his head and said, "Yes."

  "What about evidence? Where did you get it from?"

  "The small one was handed over to the old master, as for where the old master put it, I don't know."

  "You know," Lin Qing said calmly: "Lin family's affairs have always been managed by you, how could you possibly not know?"

  Yi Han pursed his lips and didn't speak, Lin Qingyan silently looked at him.

  Halfway through, he couldn't withstand the pressure and said: "Miss, that evidence is not enough to convict Xie Yiyang, otherwise Master would not have given up at the beginning, and the Yang family would not have retreated so easily."

  It's because the existing evidence can't determine the guilt of those people, and insisting on it would require both Yang and Lin families to pay a great price, so they chose to retreat.

  Otherwise, with the Yang brothers' feelings for Mrs. Xie, they would not let go of their nephew's death so easily, after all, it was due to insufficient evidence.

  "Xie Yiyang that idiot cleaned up the evidence so thoroughly?"

  Jian Mi's face revealed hesitation, and Lin Qingyan slapped the table heavily and said: "Speak!"

  Yi Han jumped in fright and gritted his teeth: "It seems that there is a shadow of the Cui family inside, but Master doesn't allow me to tell you..."

  Lin Qingwan lowered her eyes and thought of her sister's last words, asking: "Was Xie Yiyang the mastermind?"

  "Yes," Yi Han hesitated for a moment, then carefully spoke of the events of that year. Xie Yiyang was not very intelligent, but he had a big heart; however, his abilities were limited, and relying solely on him would not be enough to move Xie Yiming's horse. Mrs. Xie, on the other hand, had always lived in Yangzhou, and her control over the Xie estate in Yangzhou was still quite strong.

  So at first no one suspected Xie Yiyang, but he couldn't bear the foolishness of others. The traces were not cleaned up properly, and if it wasn't Lin Jiang, even Mrs. Xie would have found out about him.

  Because it was too easy, the three families of Xie Yanglin still suspected that someone had framed them. As a result, they found the person and asked him, although Xie Yiyang had an expression of refusing to admit even if he was beaten to death, Lin Jiang, Mrs. Xie, and Xie Yan were not fools, and his guilty conscience was seen at a glance.

  So the three of them were certain that even if Xie Yiyang was not the mastermind behind this matter, he must have been involved in it.

  At that time, almost three families were racing, Xie Yan realized that the death of his second son was related to his eldest son and immediately had someone erase the evidence.

  He has only two sons and one of them is already dead, can't lose another one?

  Mrs. Xie was furious and asked her family for help in investigating, Lin Jiang also had to investigate for the sake of his sister Wan.

  Yang Jia was far away in the capital, and Madam Xie's connections were limited. In the end, it was Lin Jiang who found out that this matter was related to the Cui family.

  It was actually the Cui family who left some clues when they tried to erase their traces, which were discovered by Lin Jiang. Jiangnan is within the control range of the Lin family, so if the Cui family makes a move in Jiangnan, isn't that just jumping into the net?

  Yi Han was ordered to investigate, but in the end, he only found some minor evidence, and the witnesses had been eliminated. The existing evidence was not enough to convict them. First published on a small station.

  The truth is not hard to guess, it's just because of jealousy.

  Xie Yiyang was jealous of Xie Yiming's intelligence and favoritism, while Cui Liang was jealous of Xie Yiming's talent, so she hinted to Xie Dalang and offered some help.

  Yi Han said, "Cui Liang had only met Xie Yiyang once, and it was always Wu Yang by his side who met with Xie Yiyang. However, Xie Yiyang must have had some leverage over Cui Liang, which is why the Cui family stepped in to help eliminate evidence when the incident occurred back then."

  Lin Qingyan sneered, "Not looking for Xie Hong and Xie Yan's help, but instead looking for the Cui family? Doesn't he know that in Jiangnan, the Xie family is more useful than the Cui family?"

  "Even Gūyé is a blood relative of the Xie family, and he has some guilt in his heart." Yì Hán said: "Even now, he still hasn't admitted that it was him who did that thing."

  "Give me the evidence."

  Yi Han worried, "Auntie, those evidences can't convict him..."

  "I know," Lin Qingyan said with a gloomy gaze: "I didn't mean to frame him."

  She unfolded the letter and pinched the pen for half a sound without falling, she really didn't like to use violence to control violence, that was also against the law, it would give her an illusion that she was no different from them.

  Lin Qingyan put down her pen and quickly wrote a letter of introduction, which she handed to Yi Han: "Deliver it to Mr. Wang Jin at the Imperial Academy, and tell him that I will visit him in person soon."

  Yi Han was taken aback, accepted the note and bowed his head to retreat.

  Wang Jin is a good friend of Lin Jiang, Lin Qingyu has seen him once, and Yuanyu has seen him many times. According to Yuanyu, he is an unruly big brother, much more handsome than her own brother.

  Carefree until he was over thirty and still playing outside, even his wife was married on the road without going through his family.

  However, two years ago he was employed back in Beijing, as a doctor at Guozijian, and it is said that he was quite welcomed by the students.

  Lin Qingyuan receives his Mid-Autumn Festival gift and New Year's gift in Suzhou every year.

  Lin Qingwan's second destination was him, and coincidentally, the matter of the Xie family indeed required his assistance.

  "Find someone to keep an eye on Xie Yiyang, and investigate all the things he has done in the past three years. Record any illegal activities. Also, send people to keep an eye on Cui Liang and Wu Yang's side."

  Yi Han hesitated and said, "Miss, if we do that, our manpower will be insufficient. Moreover, the Cui family has a great reputation in Qinghe, and it's likely that our people won't be able to find out anything. Besides, Young Master You is still missing, and we'll need to deploy more personnel..."

  Lin Qingwan thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry about Cui Liang for now, but you guys have to keep an eye on Xie Yiyang. As for Lin You, let's talk about it when I get back from Mr. Wang's place."

  Lin Qingwen found Wang Jin, mainly to ask him to help find Lin You and investigate Cui Liang.

  Compared to the Lin family in Jiangnan, Wang Jin, as the legitimate branch of the Wang family, would find it much easier to investigate Cui Liang. Similarly, finding Lin You in the northwest region would be just as easy for him.

  Lin Qingwan glanced at Yi Han and encouraged him: "Those who are capable will be busy, you go and arrange it."

  Yi Han was about to leave, but Lin Qingwen called out to him: "It's just right, with the war starting again, have someone keep an eye on some of the widows and orphans. According to the rules, if there are any suitable ones, bring them back. You all should be cultivating your juniors by now."

  He shivered with cold and bowed his head in response.

  In recent years, the Lin family has rarely taken in orphans. The next batch of guards only found six candidates, who are currently undergoing training in Suzhou, but this number is still too small.

  And they have to learn for seven or eight years, and some even ten years. The time is too long. In the past, they would select new people every three years, but since Master died, Mistress has not mentioned it again. He thought that the guard team would no longer go out to select people in the future.

  The six sprouts on the mansion have been cultivated for seven years and can be used in two more years.

  Now Grandma is bringing up the selection of people, it seems she wants to continue this tradition.
