Ximen Xiaoyue stared at her, "What did you say?"
Madam Linglong turned and left, "Since Madam doesn't welcome me, I'll leave."
Ximen Xiaoyue stepped forward to stop her and said coldly: "Speak clearly, what is Miss Lin? What do you mean by marrying into the family?"
Madam Linglong fiddled with her hair. Compared to Ximen Xiaoyue who was furious, she seemed very calm and composed. "Madam, don't you know? The Prime Minister's Mansion is going to hold another wedding. This time, the bride is Miss Lin, the granddaughter of Minister Lin."
Ximen Xiaoyue narrowed her eyes and said, "I don't believe you. You are full of nonsense."
"Believe it or not, I came here specially not to show off, but just to tell you some facts. After all, you were sincere to Wan'er, so don't be deceived. Many people in the capital know about the affairs between the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Lin family, but you don't know it because you are hiding here."
Ximen Xiaoyue sneered, "I don't know what kind of person you are. Are you so kind to give me advice?"
Madam Linglong shook her head. "You like to humiliate yourself, and I can't stop you."
After saying that, he turned around and got into the sedan chair.
Ximen Xiaoyue's heart was pounding and panic filled her heart. He had clearly vowed to marry her, so why would a Miss Lin appear
No, it must be that Chen Linglong deliberately wanted to anger her and divide them. Chen Linglong is a villain, vicious and insidious, with bad character. It must be like this.
Ximen Xiaoyue thought so, but her heart couldn't calm down. She couldn't deceive herself because she could feel Xia Huaijun's alienation towards her.
"Someone come here!" she shouted as she entered the room.
"Here!" A servant came forward and bowed.
"Go out and ask around, whether Miss Lin is going to marry the Prime Minister." Ximen Xiaoyue ordered.
The servant replied, "Yes!"
——I am the dividing line of the angry Ximen Xiaoyue—
Epidemic area.
There is a zombie patient in the ancestral hall, named Li Er, who has been detained for seven days and is in critical condition. He is a sixteen-year-old boy, whose father died early and was raised by his mother.
His situation is somewhat similar to Wang Yu's; his brother also died on the battlefield.
Li Er was bitten by his second uncle, who has died ten days after the onset of the illness. Li Er's mother, Mrs. Lu, was scared and knew that her son would die, so she came to beg General Li tonight, asking him to let her go in to see her son and feed him some water herself, just because they have the same surname.
General Li was a rough man with a soft heart. Originally, the prince had ordered that no villager was allowed to enter the ancestral hall. However, when he saw Lu kneeling and crying miserably, and thinking of her love for her son, he made an exception and let him in.
Zi'an was just outside getting some medicine and told the pharmacist at Huimin Office to measure the dosage. When she turned around and saw Lu go in, she hurriedly said, "Wait, don't let anyone in."
General Li said, "It's okay. I will keep a close eye on them. Besides, they are tied up with ropes, so there is nothing to be afraid of."
Zi'an shook his head, "No, we can't go in. Mother and son will inevitably get excited when they meet. Zombie patients are extremely strong and will break free from the ropes once they get excited."
When Mrs. Lu heard that Zi'an would not let her in, she knelt down in front of Zi'an and cried, "Doctor Xia, I just want to go in and see him. I won't do anything and I won't talk to him, okay? Please be kind."
Zi'an knew that if someone who loved her son dearly saw her son suffering, how could she just watch and leave? Now that the prescription had not been developed yet, she could not let the people take risks. Wang Yu had made a mistake before, causing Wang Dasao and the guards to be bitten. She could not be soft-hearted again.
Moreover, once a precedent is set, other people will come to visit their families, and the situation will be difficult to control.
"No, you can't go in."
General Li couldn't help but say, "Doctor Xia, it's just a matter of taking a look. What's the big deal? You can't be so hard-hearted."
Rouyao County Lady also came over and said, "Yeah, nothing much, just a look from a distance."
"No, this precedent cannot be set." Zi'an refused outright, not swayed by County Lady Rouyao's plea.
General Li was angry. "How can you be so cruel? The mother misses her son, and she also knows that her son is dying. Can't she see him before he dies? Why are you pretending? You are not the one who makes the decision here."
After saying that, he pulled Lu up and said, "I'll take you in, don't worry about her."
Zi'an was about to stop him, but County Lady Rouyao turned cold and said, "You came here and made no contribution, yet you don't allow anyone to do this or that. How annoying! Go out and mix the medicine. I'll take care of anything that happens."
Zi'an saw that General Li had already taken Lu in, and it would be inhumane for her to stop them, so she could only say, "Forget it, this won't happen again."
When Lady Rouyao heard her compromise, she smiled and said, "Okay, there's no need to be so serious. It's okay, don't worry."
Zi'an also smiled, "I know I'm the black-faced god, and everyone dislikes me. They only like you, the gentle Rouyao County Lord. Can I leave now?"
After spending a few days with County Lady Rouyao, he found that she was a down-to-earth person. Most importantly, she was no longer his love rival, so Zi'an had no opinion about her. Of course, he couldn't say that he liked her.
Rouyao County Lady smiled and kicked her, "You black-faced god, go and make some medicine."
Zi'an turned around and went out. The pharmacists here were all interns from the Huimin Office. Their medical skills were not that great, but they were very good at boiling medicine. Because when they entered the Huimin Office, the first thing they had to do was to dry, boil and grind the medicine, day after day, year after year. Only after three years could they learn to take the pulse.
Therefore, after Zi'an entered the epidemic area, Murong Jie ordered the Huimin Bureau to send a medicine boy to help.
A few doctors from the Huimin Bureau also came, but because a doctor had been bitten before, these people rarely came in. The wounds were cleaned by the people brought by Zi'an and Rouyao.
Zi'an boiled all the medical equipment of the day in boiling water to sterilize them. These so-called equipment were nothing more than her golden needles, thin knives for scraping dead flesh, tweezers and the like.
As soon as he threw it down and picked up the medicine box, he heard a scream coming from the ancestral hall, followed by the unique roar of a zombie patient.
Zi'an's heart sank, "Something happened."
She rushed in grabbing the medicine box in one hand.
After entering the ancestral hall, Li Er had already broken free from the ropes and jumped out. He bit Lu and three soldiers who were there to maintain order, and now he was jumping on General Li.
Although General Li was a martial artist, once the zombie disease attacked, he would be extremely powerful. When Wang Yu had an attack, Ni Rong and several guards were present, but they were unable to subdue him and were bitten by him instead.
County Lady Rouyao was so frightened that she was stunned. Several doctors kept backing away, their faces turning pale.
General Li tried to resist with difficulty, but Li Er bared his teeth and tried to bite him down. No matter where he was exposed, he would be bitten by Li Er.
Zi'an didn't have time to think too much. He rushed over and grabbed Li Er's collar and flipped her outward. She fell to the ground. Li Er changed his target and pounced on her. At the critical moment, she turned the soul-stealing ring and hit Li Er's heart. Li Er twitched and fell to the ground.
Zi'an quickly picked up the rope and tied him up. General Li was also alert and came to help immediately after escaping danger. The two of them worked together to tie Li Er to the stone pillar of the ancestral hall.
