The Martial Doctor

Yue Mei’Er spoke, "My lord, regarding this Jing Hui, we just started the investigation, and the information we’ve gathered is quite limited..."

Although the information is limited, it’s not insignificant. Cross-referencing with what Lin Miao observed and understood, he verifies everything in his mind.

Lin Miao has a bold and melodramatic guess.

Jing Hui’s identity before becoming a nun is not simple, and as for the child in her belly, it probably isn’t an ordinary person’s child either.

Otherwise, why would a woman who has already become a nun risk everything to give birth to the child?

It was mentioned by Xue Sha that he captured the nuns from Heaven-Reaching Temple to lure Dingxian and Jing Hui to rescue them.

Dingxian, an old nun, shouldn’t be the target of Xue Sha. Jingxin is just a simple nun and doesn’t seem to have any big secrets.

That leaves only Jing Hui.

She is the most special among this group of nuns, with no husband, yet becoming a nun, and being pregnant with a child, there must be a story there.

She also said that she is the reason Dingxian and her junior sisters got involved, so clearly, Xue Sha is targeting her, and she seems to be hiding something, not wanting to implicate others.

Even the most oblivious person can see that she has secrets.

He didn’t intend to pry into others’ privacy, but now that he’s involved, he can’t back away.

In this world, no one lives in a vacuum. Just like if something happens to the Su Family, could he really stand by and do nothing?

Even if something happened to Dongguo Sun, although he doesn’t acknowledge this fortuitous martial uncle verbally, he’d still step in to rescue.

People are social beings, they need family, friends, and some like-minded individuals to make life meaningful.

Otherwise, even with endless life, wouldn’t life be exceedingly dull?

"Continue the investigation, but try not to let her notice."

"My lord, why don’t we just ask her directly? Guessing back and forth like this isn’t ideal," Si Miaoxue suggested.

"Actually, yesterday I intervened and saved Dingxian and her junior sister Jingxin, and placed them in Miaoxue Residence. I didn’t tell him about this."

"Ah!" Both women opened their mouths wide in surprise.

"I also fought with Xue Sha, the Upper Grade Meridian Passage Realm is indeed formidable. I couldn’t do anything to him, and he couldn’t do anything to me either."

"My lord, you just recently advanced to the Meridian Passage Realm, and yet you could fight Xue Sha, who’s in the Upper Grade Meridian Passage Realm, to a standstill. That’s amazing!" Yue Mei’Er exclaimed.

"For now, we need to think of a way to rescue people. Outside Lingyang Marquis City, there are estates holding many captives, not just the nuns of Heaven-Reaching Temple. That’s why I didn’t act rashly, because, even if we broke their shackles, we couldn’t transfer them safely. We’ll have to involve the government in this matter!" Lin Miao said.

"So that’s why my lord went to visit Pei Jian today," Si Miaoxue realized Lin Miao’s intention for going out that morning.

"Yes, I reported the news to Pei Jian, but I can’t guarantee what decision he will make, so we need to have our own preparations," Lin Miao nodded, "that’s why I called you all here."

"What do you need us to do?"

"Mei’Er, tomorrow you should leave the city and help me make arrangements..." Lin Miao instructed.

"The Lingyang Marquess’s estate is much larger than ours, its location is better, and it’s more secluded. If the government confiscates it, wouldn’t it be great if we could get it?" Mei’Er’s eyes lit up as she calculated.

"Trying to get something from Marquis Lingyang’s Mansion wouldn’t be that easy, Mei’Er, you’re just money-minded!"

"It’s true that things from Marquis Lingyang’s Mansion aren’t easy to acquire, but once the estate is seized, the mansion will definitely clear its relations. If the estate is taken by the government, we have a chance to buy it at a low price," Lin Miao said.

"Since I don’t have to accompany my lord tonight, I can leave the city now and return by tomorrow," Yue Mei’Er said.

"I’ll accompany you back," Si Miaoxue offered.

"You’ll accompany me back, does that mean it’s your turn to serve my lord tonight?" Yue Mei’Er asked, blinking.

"Ji Fei’Er insisted that she was the oldest, so it should be arranged in that order. Were you not present when this was discussed yesterday, Mei’Er?"

What she meant was, when Ji Fei’Er proposed it, why didn’t you oppose it?

Yue Mei’Er’s expression turned stiff. Ji Fei’Er in the Moon Palace is someone who acts at the slightest provocation. Even though she’s now reached the Meridian Passage Realm, she’d still be no match if they actually fought.

Besides, if they cause trouble at the Lin Mansion, it would only create problems for Lin Miao. It’s just a matter of order, and wouldn’t reduce her benefits, so there’s no point in arguing over it and risk angering Lin Miao.

Didn’t Si Miaoxue, the first person to follow Lin Miao, keep silent? What right does she have to speak?

Her aim was just to let Lin Miao be aware of this, nothing more.

Lin Miao couldn’t quite figure out this woman’s little schemes, but since the rules were already set, he had to go along with them.

Whether it was good or bad, he couldn’t object now, as he needed to help the senior martial sister establish the authority of being the great lady of the Lin Mansion.

He, after all, wouldn’t lose anything.

"Alright, you may go," Lin Miao nodded.

...

In the capital city, at the imperial palace, Rouyi Palace.

"Incompetents! A woman had her dantian destroyed, yet she still managed to escape, and you’re just discovering this now?" King Qi, Zhao Yuanchun, was extremely furious.
