Chapter 47 - Night Investigation.

Lin Yannan saw her grandmother cough up blood and faint. Taking advantage of the chaos, she quickly assessed her grandmother's pulse.

Fortunately, her grandmother's anger did not cause a stroke, so it was okay to wait for the doctor to arrive for treatment. Lin Yannan then calmly stayed by her grandmother's side. Thank you for replying with the translated content.

林叔齐担心母亲便责怪起周氏来：“你就不该在这档口刺激母亲，万一母亲有个好歹，你担待的起吗？”

三婶毫不示弱地呛声：“难道要瞒一辈子吗？你也知道母亲向来看不上我，回头又让二嫂当家，难道要眼睁睁看着二嫂把整个林家都搬空吗？她已经快把墨渊阁搬空了，到时候母亲责怪起来，我更担待不起。”

“三叔三婶，你们别吵了，祖母不会有事的，倒是二叔那，该派个人去告诉一声。”林晏晏道。

林叔齐赶紧派人去茗香苑传话。

Not long after, both Lin Zhongkun and Dr. Zhong arrived simultaneously.

Dr. Zhong gave the elderly lady two injections, and she slowly regained consciousness.

"Mother, how are you?" Lin Zhongkun knelt by the bed, holding his mother's hand and tearfully said, "It's all because I, your son, was unfilial and didn't investigate, which led to Yao Shi making a big mistake."

老夫人看了眼床边站着的三儿子，三媳妇，还有孙子孙女，有气无力道：“你们先出去。”

林叔齐给周氏和林晏晏递了个眼色，大家依次退了下去。

"Zhongkun, how do you plan to deal with your wife?"

"My son wants to divorce her, doesn't she only care about the Yao family? Then let her go back to the Yao family."

"No, Zhongkun, you hold an important position, divorcing your wife will surely arouse suspicion. If Yao's actions get out, how can Jingwen and Jingxiu hold their heads up in front of others in the future? Besides, Zhenzhen is about to marry into the Duke of Jin's household. At this critical moment, we cannot afford any trouble."

Lin Zhongkun was previously angry and determined to divorce Yao Shi. However, after hearing his mother's words, he has calmed down. The impact of divorcing his wife is too significant, so he really cannot divorce her.

"The son listens to the mother."

"Keep her first, confine her to Xingxiang Garden, and after Zhenzhen's marriage, you can take in another one. There will be a chance to divorce in the future, but the Lin family still needs to consider the second wife. The main mother of the Lin family must also be the second wife." The old lady's gaze was stern and cold.

Yao Shi will just retire like this, she got off too easily.

Yao Shi's fate has been decided like this.

When Lin Zhongkun came out of the greenhouse, he had already regained his former dignity.

"Yan Yan, calculate how much Mo Yuan Ge has lost, and my second uncle will compensate accordingly. From now on, my second uncle will no longer interfere in the affairs of Mo Yuan Ge."

Lin Yannan turned and looked at San Shu, saying, "San Shu, I don't understand the market. Look, how much are those things lost by Moyuan Ge worth?"

Lin Shuqi: ... Why is he being entrusted with such a difficult task?

Lin Zhongkun glared at him, using his gaze to threaten him to not speak nonsense.

Lin Shuqi rubbed his forehead and said, "It's worth at least 50,000 taels!"

In reality, it should be worth at least 80,000 taels, but with his second brother staring at him like that, he didn't dare to say too much.

“那就五万两。”林晏晏当即道。

反正东西已经丢了，追不回来，有赔偿总比没赔偿的好。

这个价钱林仲坤还能接受，他刚从姚氏那要回十万两。

Lin Zhongkun directly counted five silver banknotes with a face value of ten thousand taels and handed them to Lin Yannan.

"Over at Shuntian Mansion..."

"Jingyuan, make an effort to go to Shuntian Mansion and bring back Liu Ma and Money Manager." Lin Yannan said.

Lin Jingyuan responded and left.

This turmoil came to an end.

Later on, I heard that Liu Mama was brought back and immediately beaten to death with a club. Qian Guanshi did not sell herself to the Marquis Mansion, and the Marquis Mansion had no authority to decide her life or death. They only expelled her from the mansion.

Yao has been banned from leaving, and Zhou officially takes charge.

In the evening, Lin Yannan was reading a medical book when Mrs. Li brought in bird's nest porridge.

"Miss, read less books at night, it strains your eyes."

"It's fine, my eyesight is good!"

Li Ma smiled helplessly and laughed. She had been constantly worrying about Miss and Master during her absence, fearing that they would suffer. After all, they were still young at that time, but now she can finally rest assured. Miss's strategy and intelligence are no less than Marquis, easily taking down Madam Er. This battle was won beautifully.

"Then don't stay up too late, go to bed early."

"Alright, Aunt Li, you also go to bed early." Lin Yanyan glanced towards the window and then said to Jinxin, "Jinxin, don't embroider here anymore, go rest downstairs!"

"But... I'm on duty today." Miss hasn't rested yet, so I don't have a reason to go and rest early.

"Then go and see if the young master has returned. If he has, let him come over, I have something to ask him."

"Oh, this servant will go now." Jinxin put down the embroidery and went to find the Fourth Young Master.

As soon as everyone left, they heard a thump sound coming from the window.

A stone hit the window sill.

Lin Yannan stood up and opened the window, and a person jumped in suddenly.

"My maid went to Jingyuan, she'll be back in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, so you only have the time for one cup of tea." Lin Yanyan looked at him with a faint smile and said.

Xiao Qian was curious, "How did you know I came? And why did you send the maid away?"

Previously in Shun Tian Mansion, Xiao Qian suspected that Lin Yannan left suddenly because she heard Guan Sheng's footsteps.

"My ears are sharper." Lin Yannan did not deny it.

Xiao Qian leaned over to look at her ears: "Your ears are not sharp, they look like small ingots, beautiful and fortunate."

他突然凑过来，还说这样的话，林晏晏不禁红了脸，退开两步：“还有半盏茶时间。”

萧潜摸摸鼻子：“我来问问，事都解决了吗？宫里临时有事儿，我提前离开了，所以不知道后续。”

Lin Yannan thought, then you will find out when you go to Shuntian Mansion tomorrow, why do you have to climb through the window in the middle of the night to ask?

"Well, it's all resolved, Second Uncle compensated me with fifty thousand taels."

Xiao Qian said, "Then you've made a fortune, treating to a good meal might not be enough."

Lin Yannan is also convinced. Does this person not have enough to eat? He always asks others to treat him to meals.

"Then how many meals do you say you want to be treated to? I agreed to treat you to pork heart and lungs. If you want more, let Jingyuan treat you."

Xiao Qian smiled and said, "Do you have time tomorrow?"

"Is there something important?"

Xiao Qian nodded, "Yes, there is an urgent matter. I want to take you to meet someone."

"Who is it?"

Xiao Qian's smile vanished, and he said seriously, "You will know when you meet them. If... you want to know how your father died."

Originally, he didn't want to tell her, or wait until there was a result before saying anything. After all, as a young unmarried woman, she couldn't be of much help. However, observing her actions and strategies over the past couple of days, he felt that maybe she could be of assistance.

林晏晏心里突的一跳，难道父亲的死有问题？不是战死的？

“你的婢女回来了，记得，明日巳时三刻，我在顺天府附近的同德茶楼等你。”

With that, Xiao Qian flipped through the window and vanished into the night.

Lin Yanyan stared blankly at the half-opened window.
