Chapter 154: Chapter 154: The Scheming Young Master Sets a Trap (1)_1 Chapter 154: Chapter 154: The Scheming Young Master Sets a Trap (1)_1 Xiao Linshuang finally couldn’t hold out anymore and looked pitifully at her eldest sister with her big, watery eyes.
Moved by that look, Lin Yuan imdiately surrendered, holding her forehead she sighed, “Little sister, Dad and Mom are still waiting for us…”
“Don’t worry, don’t worry.” Xia Zheng cut in before Lin Yuan could finish, “Dad and Mom—uh, Uncle and Aunt’s al, I’ve already had Chef Wang prepare it.
Liuzi, later you go take the food box to the city gate, to that, that…”
“Uncle Lin, Lin Fugui.” Lin Yuan knew he was talking about Lin Fugui, who shuttled back and forth with the carriage, but she still planned to go ho to eat with her parents.
Otherwise, suddenly sending so much good food back with Uncle Lin might scare the Lin Jiaxin couple half to death, right?
“You don’t need to be busy with that, we will eat at ho later.”
“It’s too late.
The boss had already asked the kitchen to prepare it, four dishes and a soup, plus two portions of buns.
It should be enough,” Xia Zheng said, gesturing for Liuzi to hurry to the kitchen to fetch the food box.
Watching Liuzi run off faster than a rabbit, Lin Yuan had no choice but to sit down again with her two younger sisters.
But they had been inside for quite a while now—how co they hadn’t seen Lao Fan?
“Eh, big brother, where’s Grandpa God Doctor?
I haven’t seen him,” Xiao Linshuang, who had beco very close to Lao Fan, asked eagerly after her eyes darted around for a while.
Xia Zheng, gracefully lifting his tea cup for a sip, replied with a sneer, “He’s been invited by Master Magistrate.”
“Master Magistrate?
The Master Magistrate invited Grandpa God Doctor to treat soone?
Wow, Grandpa God Doctor is so amazing!” In truth, Xiao Linshuang had no idea what rank the Master Magistrate held; she only considered him a very significant figure because the villagers always talked about him.
So, if Lao Fan was treating soone important like that, it made him even more impressive.
The admiration in Xiao Linshuang’s eyes was genuine, and it solidified her determination to pursue dicine.
Lin Yuan also wondered—hadn’t Lao Fan always looked down on the Magistrate?
How co he was suddenly so willing to treat him?
Sure enough, she guessed right.
Xia Zheng huffed twice, contemptuously saying, “What treatnt?
If Madam County Magistrate hadn’t ntioned she got so especially delicious food, he wouldn’t have bothered to help Li Chang’s Little Concubine with her pregnancy!
Hmph, this old man, always thinking about food, he has forgotten his own vows for the sake of a al, I will never trust his word again!”
So he was lured away by delicious food, Lin Yuan thought with a smile to herself, not noticing the amazed and stunned look that suddenly ca from Xia Zheng across from her.
But Lin Wei suddenly thought of sothing and whispered into her elder sister’s ear, “Preserving the pregnancy for the Master Magistrate’s Little Concubine?
The Master Magistrate really treats this Little Concubine well, even specially inviting a doctor for her.
Hey, big sister, will that woman beco Master Magistrate’s Little Concubine?
I wonder if the Magistrate will treat her better, or if he will favor this pregnant Little Concubine more.”
Lin Wei had always despised Lin Siyu, not even willing to ntion her by na; she had initially referred to her as ‘she,’ but now she had no qualms about calling her ‘that woman.’ When Lin Wei brought this up, Lin Yuan also started to ponder.
She had heard from Lian’er that Lady Jin, who was to beco the next wife of the County Magistrate, had a temper not to be trifled with, matching that of the Second Miss Jin Lingling.
With that kind of temperant, would she tolerate a Little Concubine carrying the County Magistrate’s child, and even have a doctor summoned especially to ensure the pregnancy’s safety?
It would be a surprise if she didn’t make sure the Little Concubine drank blood-red flower tea to cause a miscarriage.
Thinking of Lin Siyu, who was preparing to enter the County Magistrate’s household, Lin Yuan suddenly curled her lips into a smile.
If this Little Concubine were a pushover, so be it, but if she were fierce, there truly would be an interesting show to watch in the future.
