Reborn Lady - Chapter 76
The residences of the members of the Yin family were all near Lion Lane. Yin Wen rode a horse to visit a few houses, and determined who would be free the next morning. Then he went back and reported to the old man, who decided on the witnesses.
Only then did Yin Yong send his son and daughter-in-law away, and the old man, who had endured the complaints of the couple, was exhausted.
After listening to the eldest grandson’s reply, Yin Yong looked at the young man and asked, “Ah Wen, your father and mother don’t agree with the adoption, what do you think?”
“Once adopted, he can not only inherit the incense (heir) for my uncle, but also avoid my mother’s resentment. Grandfather, I blame my mother for being small-minded and always being angry with my second brother because of the old vinegar (jealousy). In short, this matter has been settled, so don’t think about it, I will persuade them later.”
Yin Yong shook his head and said, “No, it has nothing to do with Lang. Your father suspects that the third master wants to covet our family’s money, so he urged Ah Hui to coax me to adopt Lang, so that he can enjoy the property of the Yin family through Lang.”
Hearing it, Yin Wen said angrily, “Isn’t that nonsense? What does this matter have to do with Ah Hui and the third master? Really, it’s a good thing that this has not been spread, otherwise our family will be imprisoned by the king!”
Yin Yong was actually trying to test his eldest grandson’s thoughts. Seeing him so angry that his face was flushed, as if his parents had committed something wrong, Yin Yong was very relieved.
“It’s good if you see the situation clearly. I’ll arrange for the clan elders. You can persuade your father and mother. They won’t listen to what I say. They think I’m partial to Ah Hui.”
“Well, this grandson will go now. Don’t be angry, it’s important to take care of your health.”
After saying goodbye to the old man, Yin Wen went back to the second household.
Yin Jingshan and Mrs. Zhao were still sulking, and Yin Rong sat beside them silently, her face also full of hostility. Although she was about to get married, and it was not up to her to divide the property of the Yin family, everything in the Yin family should belong to her brother. Why should her younger brother rob the eldest brother, and why should he get the family property that she was not qualified to own?
It was all Yin Hui’s fault!
“Why are you all frowning?” Yin Wen stepped into the door with a smile and said in a playful voice.
Yin Jingshan glared at him and said, “How can you still smile?! The family property is being robbed in a blatant manner, and you are happily running errands for others?!”
Yin Wen sat opposite Yin Rong, looked at the empty table, and said to his sister, ” Ah Rong, go make me a pot of tea.”
Yin Rong said with a frown, “If you want to drink tea, tell the servant girl to do it, why do you order me?”
Yin Wen smiled and said nothing.
Mrs. Zhao snapped to her senses and promptly shoved her daughter aside, commanding, “Leave when you’re instructed to!”
Yin Rong stamped her feet in frustration and stormed away, her anger evident.
Mrs. Zhao looked at her son expectantly and asked, “Ah Wen, do you have anything to say?”
Yin Wen nodded, looked at his parents and said, “No matter whose idea it is, you two don’t have to worry about it. Now the second brother is still young. When he gets a few years older, and goes out on business, he will have to go out with the caravan. But those roads are infested with bandits. Swords and bows have no eyes. Whether the second brother can come back safely depends on luck.” The implication of those words was very obvious.
Mrs. Zhao rolled her eyes and laughed. Seeing her husband’s unbearable expression, she immediately sneered, “Why, you can’t bear it? Think about it carefully. If he is alive, he is just a knife for others to grab your property. The tip of the knife is aimed at you!”
Yin Jingshan’s trace of intolerance disappeared just like that. One shouldn’t blame him for being ruthless as his kid was unfilial.
Yin Wen told the two elders, “I told this plan to you because I was afraid that you would be worried. You must keep it a secret, even from my sister, so as not to leak the news.”
Yin Jingshan and Mrs. Zhao nodded repeatedly.
When Yin Rong came back with some tea, she saw that her parents, who had been frowning and angry before, seemed to be fine.
“What did you just talk about?” Yin Rong inquired icily.
She was not married yet, but her parents and brother didn’t regard her as their own family?
Mrs. Zhao saw that her daughter was unhappy, but she didn’t take it to heart. So what? The girl’s heart would be biased toward her husband after marriage. It was better to keep it a secret from her daughter about such a big event involving several million family properties, so that people wouldn’t learn it from Yin Hui who brought her husband to exploit her natal family.
Liu Manniang and Uncle Zhou from Jinxiu arrived in the east courtyard of the Yin family one after another.
“Why did you come here in person?” Yin Hui asked Liu Manniang in surprise.
Liu Manniang looked at Yin Lang and said with a smile, “I heard from Jinzhan that you recognized a younger brother, so of course I wanted to come and see the young master.”
Yin Hui then introduced Liu Manniang and Uncle Zhou to Yin Lang, who were her business contacts, left hand and right hand, who she couldn’t do without.
Yin Lang nodded to the two of them respectively.
Jinxiu also started a clothing business. Liu Manniang brought eight sets of young men’s winter clothes according to the size Jinzhan reported to her.
Yin Hui asked Liu Manniang to accompany Yin Lang to try on clothes, leaving her alone to talk to Uncle Zhou alone.
“Uncle Zhou, I have two things to trouble you with. The first one is to choose two guards with high martial arts skills for Brother Lang. They must be upright and reliable. They must be loyal only to Brother Lang and cannot be easily bribed.”
Yin Jingshan and Mrs. Zhao’s greed and selfishness were on the surface, but Yin Wen was the real cold-blooded and vicious person. His grandfather was so kind to him, but he was so cruel that he pushed him out to block a knife.
Hence, Yin Hui held concerns that Yin Wen’s apparent support for the adoption might merely be surface-level, concealing ulterior motives such as a potential covert harm to Yin Lang.
Uncle Zhou said, “Don’t worry, madam, I will check it out myself.”
“The second thing, I want you to pretend that you have a toothache when you go to your relatives and friends’ homes for dinner in two days, and pretend it lasts for about half a month. All the famous doctors in Pingcheng should be called to your home to see you, but no one can cure you. Then you send someone reliable to Jinghai County, Hejian Prefecture to find a doctor named Yuan Daoqing. No matter what method you use, please be sure to invite him to Pingcheng in mid-February.”
Fearing that Uncle Zhou would not be able to remember, Yin Hui also prepared a note in advance, with the words “Yuan Daoqing, Jinghai County, Hejian Prefecture” written on it.
Uncle Zhou took the note, read it many times, but still didn’t understand.
“Madam, who is this Yuan Daoqing?”
Yin Hui: “I can’t explain it at the moment, but this matter is very important to me. You can’t let the word out, and it’s best to keep it from the aunt.”
Uncle Zhou looked into her expectant eyes and agreed, “Okay, I will definitely do this for you.”
Yin Hui naturally trusted Uncle Zhou.
After he left, Yin Hui thought of the genius doctor Yuan Daoqing whom she had never met.
In her previous life, King Yan had a toothache at the beginning of February. Famous doctors from the palace and nearby Pingcheng came to see and treat him. Some prescribed decoctions and medicines, which worked for a day or two before recurring. Some suggested that King Yan must pull out his tooth, but his tooth was very stubborn, and several famous doctors couldn’t pull it out in turn. They couldn’t use too ruthless tricks, fearing that the root of the tooth would be broken inside, and also afraid that other problems would arise. After all, someone had died because of tooth extraction.
In the end, all the doctors reached a consensus and advised King Yan to endure it, and wait until the tooth would rot and fall out by itself, then it would be fine.
While King Yan continued to send people to search for good doctors, he just endured.
The longer the toothache dragged on, the worse the pain became. During that time, there was no one in the palace who hadn’t been scolded by King Yan. A virtuous concubine like Xu Wang was also rudely overturned by him.
In that situation, Xiao Heng celebrated his first birthday in March. Wei Luo didn’t dare to invite King Yan. In addition, the head of the family was suffering from dental disease, so Chengxin Hall couldn’t have a celebration.
