Chu Liuyue followed Lin Tianfeng into the house.
Hearing the noise, Lin Zhifei also came out to welcome her. “Greetings, Princess Consort.”
Lin Zhifei bowed. Even though only a mere day had passed, the woman before him had undergone an earth-shattering change in her status.
Chu Liuyue smiled slightly. “Fourth Young Master Lin, you don’t have to be polite. I previously agreed to treat you, so I naturally won’t go back on my word. Please, sit.”
Lin Zhifei then sat down.
Chu Liuyue took his pulse and thought deeply for a moment. “Your body has already recovered by 60 percent. You’ll be able to recover fully in a few more days.”
“Thank you, Princess Consort!” At the side, Lin Tianfeng couldn’t hold back his excitement and agitation as he spoke with gratitude.
In the past, Chu Liuyue definitely helped them to get their help. But her status was so shocking now, yet she was still willing to come. This proved something else.
Lin Tianfeng was naturally very touched.
Lin Zhifei smiled, and a ripple appeared in his clear eyes. “… Actually, the main part of my illness has been removed, and I can leave the remaining parts to the other heavenly doctors. Princess Consort, you don’t have to be troubled—”
“Other heavenly doctors?” Chu Liuyue let go of his hand and smiled. “Like Elder Lou Ruhai?”
The room instantly became quiet.
Other than the four of them here, there was nobody else in the room. Hence, they didn’t have many concerns.
Lin Tianfeng knitted his brows and said, “Previously, he was indeed in the wrong for offending you numerous times… I never expected him to say such words in public at Tongshen Palace.”
He openly pointed out that Chu Liuyue was from outside the God Residence Realm. Wasn’t this clearly going against her?
If Rong Xiu and 36 Respected Elder Ming didn’t protect her to the end and with Chu Liuyue’s own outstanding performance, nobody would know what would happen later on.
Chu Liuyue walked to the side and picked up a brush to write a prescription. As she wrote, she said, “Lou Ruhai has nothing against me, yet he targets me to this extent and is very arrogant and bold. Master Lin… don’t you find it weird at all?”
Lin Tianfeng’s gaze changed. “Princess Consort, you mean…”
“If he only put me in a difficult spot because I treated Lin Zhifei and did something he couldn’t, won’t he be too petty? However, he’s still a peak ninth-grade heavenly doctor after all. He can just play some small tricks and punish me a little. Why must he cause trouble at Tongshen Palace?”
Chu Liuyue put down her brush and carefully checked the prescription before passing it to Yan Qing. “Help me get these herbs.”
Yan Qing took it with both his hands and rapidly left after respectfully acknowledging her.
This was the Sky-Cloud Empire, and Chu Liuyue had just become the princess consort. Nobody dared to do anything to her. Hence, Yan Qing wasn’t worried and hurriedly went to pick up the herbs for her.
Lin Tianfeng wasn‘ silly and immediately understood what Chu Liuyue meant. “Princess Consort, you mean… Someone secretly instructed Lou Ruhai to do that—”
Suddenly, his expression changed.
The person who could do this definitely was related to them and had such abilities. After much thinking, there was only one person with the highest probability!
“It’s… Lu Yu’er?” he muttered in much disbelief.
Chu Liuyue laughed. “Master Lin, it seems like you’re still clear about what’s going on.”
Lin Tianfeng’s expression was mixed. “H-how can this be? Lou Ruhai has been in my Lin family for many decades, and he’s always been loyal. Yu’er had just come…”
“Fourth Young Master Lin was sick for as long as she was at the Lin family,” said Chu Liuyue with deeper meaning.
Lin Tianfeng was stunned! “This…”
Chu Liuyue’s words had too much information!
“Could it be… Zhifei’s illness is her—” He suddenly turned around to look at Lin Zhifei, but he saw that the latter’s expression was light and nonchalant as if he wasn’t shocked at all.
Lin Zhifei clearly knew about it long ago!
Lin Tianfeng felt like he was struck by lightning.
“Master Lin, don’t misunderstand. Fourth Young Master Lin was indeed born with an illness, and it wasn’t caused by someone after he was born. Of course, the illness he had when he was in his mother’s womb was definitely due to someone,” said Chu Liuyue nonchalantly.
Her few brief sentences solved the largest secret hidden in the Lin family for many years!
Lin Tianfeng’s entire body trembled, and his face was pale, but he could not say anything.
“Father, you don’t have to worry. My body is recovering, Previously, I didn’t tell you as I was afraid you’d be more worried,” explained Lin Zhifei. “However, you can be rest assured now.”
Lin Tianfeng took a while to react. “T-then, when Lou Ruhai kept saying that he couldn’t treat your illness… Did he pretend—”
“That’s not a pretense.” Lin Zhifei laughed lightly. “He really doesn’t have the capability.”
If I didn’t meet Chu Liuyue, I wouldn’t have had a chance to make a comeback. I didn’t say it earlier as I had to consider many things. But now, Chu Liuyue is already the Sky-Cloud Empire’s Princess Consort, and Lou Ruhai purposely caused trouble for himself. It’s good now that I can follow the situation
and settle him once and for all.
Chu Liuyue took out a pearl. “This item was taken from Fourth Young Master’s body, and it’s the reason for his illness. Lu Yi once personally admitted that his elder sister did it.”
Lin Tianfeng was stunned, but he had to believe it. This was because Chu Liuyue had no need to lie to him about this.
Lu Ywer, her brother, and Lou Ruhai did offend Chu Liuyue, but with her current status and identity… She could easily kill them with one word; she didn’t need to fabricate such lies.
“There’s someone behind her?” asked Lin Tianfeng after taking a while to react.
Chu Liuyue passed the pearl over. “Master Lin, do you recognize the pattern here?”
Lin Tianfeng meticulously took the pearl over and checked it carefully.
After a moment, he knitted his brows and shook his head. “This seems to be the totem of some clan, but… I’ve never seen it before. Could this be the person behind Lu Yu’er?”
When Lin Tianfeng talked, his voice trembled slightly.
It was indeed quite hard for him to accept all of this in such a short amount of time. After all, he always trusted and had doted on Lu Yw’er very much all these years. He even disliked Lin Zhifei a little as he refused to acknowledge Lu Yu’er.
Now, it seemed like it was a joke!
Chu Liuyue shook her head regretfully.
Actually, this result was within her expectations.
“Tt seems like we need to continue searching.”
Lin Zhifei walked forward and took the pearl. “Father, don’t worry. I know what to do. When my body fully recovers, I’ll naturally go and take revenge.”
Lin Tianfeng’s lips moved slightly, and he sighed deeply as if he had aged a lot in a matter of moments. He then patted his son’s shoulders and boomed, “Don’t worry. When we go back, I’ll personally settle them. As for Lou Ruhai…”
He had already willingly given up on the word ‘elder.’ A traitor had no right to be addressed in such a manner!
“TIL leave him for you to handle, Princess Consort. Is that okay?”
Chu Liuyue stroked her chin and smiled. “Okay..”
