It Can Be Treated

"Your Prince, is your teacher's wife Madam Lin?"

Seventh Master Li never expected that the two families would run into each other.

Qi Lingheng glanced at the Lin Family's plaque and asked, "Could it be that Sister Ling is also a relative of the Lin Family?"

Seventh Master Li laughed, "Does Your Prince know about the Wuding Marquis Residence? My elder sister is the mother-in-law of the Eldest Aunt- in-law of the Wuding Marquis Residence."

"I see."

Qi Lingheng smiled and said, "Grand Tutor Lin is my esteemed teacher. Please come in, sir."

The Eunuch A Fu went over and knocked on the door.

The Lin Family Steward did not recognize A Fu at first. It was only when A Fu presented his visiting card, revealed his identity, and mentioned that Physician skilled in treating eye diseases had arrived that the steward hurriedly invited him into the front hall and sent someone to announce his arrival.

"Seventh Master Li has arrived?"

Lin Yunyi came out of the room first. Hearing that his sister had written a letter, he assumed that Seventh Master Li was coming, so he specially asked for leave to come back. Sure enough, he came!

The steward said, "Yes, yes, you've finally arrived!"

Lin Yunyi frowned. "You said it was Prince Huan who brought them?"

The steward delivered the visiting card, which bore the name of the Prince Huan's Residence. The card was exquisitely beautiful, a masterpiece only found in the palace.

This young boy, though still quite young, is already capable of shouldering responsibilities.

He calmly instructed the steward, "Serve tea to the guests; I'll help my mother over there now."

The mother and son went into the living room together.

Fearing his mother might misunderstand, Lin Yunyi didn't elaborate on the details. He simply bowed to Qi Lingheng and whispered, "Your Prince, please have the Physician examine my mother's eye ailment first..."

Qi Lingheng patted his shoulder and said, "I know."

Seventh Master Li examined Madam Lin's eyes, they both left, leaving Stewardess and two servants inside to attend to her.

"Thank you, Your Prince."

Lin Yunyi bowed and thanked him. Qi Lingheng nodded, gesturing for him to rise, and explained, "This time, Master Li came to the capital to treat my Imperial Father's eye ailment. I heard that his medical skills are superb. I visited the emperor in the palace, and his eye ailment has indeed improved. I remembered that your mother also has an eye ailment, so I took the liberty of bringing him here."

Lin Yunyi nodded and said very respectfully, "Fortunately, Your Prince remembered, otherwise my mother's eye ailment would still be difficult to treat."

He turned back and glanced sadly into the hall.

I don't know if my mother's eyes can be cured this time.

Qi Lingheng told him not to worry.

"Master Li's use of medication is bold; perhaps there's a glimmer of hope. Even if there isn't, it will only maintain the status quo; things won't get any worse."

Lin Yunyi pursed his lips, still unable to put his mind at ease.

Still a young boy, his emotions were written all over his face. Qi Lingheng smiled and walked a few steps with him, casually asking, "I heard your sister asked someone to invite Master Li over?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yunyi's expression immediately changed.

Qi Lingheng seemed oblivious and continued, "How could it have been delayed?"

Lin Yunyi angrily flung his sleeve and said, "I'm not afraid of being laughed at by Your Prince, but my brother-in-law clearly promised to bring Master Li over, but he broke his promise for some reason."

"Why?"

Qi Lingheng's eyes suddenly darkened.

What kind of important official is Lu Zhengliu, that he has to put aside even his teacher's wife's affairs?

Lin Yunyi didn't say anything, but vaguely replied, "Your Prince, I'm sorry, I... I don't know."

We should always save face for our older sister.

Qi Lingheng didn't press the matter. When they called for someone from inside the hall, Lin Yunyi ran over immediately. A Fu came over and said, "Your Prince, I'll have someone investigate as soon as I get back."

Qi Lingheng hummed in agreement and followed him into the hall.

Seventh Master Li had already inserted some thin needles into Madam Lin. Madam Lin's eyes were constantly filled with tears, and she flailed her hands in the air, saying, "I can see! I can see some light..."

"Mother! Can you really see?"

Lin Yunyi walked over excitedly.

Madam Lin nodded and said, "I can see it." Then, sadly, she added, "I can only see some bright spots. I can't see the rest."

Seventh Master Li put away the needles and said, "If it's visible, it can be treated."

How to treat it?

Seventh Master Li, head bowed, busied himself with his work, muttering, "It can be cured, but it's not easy. Your mother's eyes have been damaged for too long; it's impossible for them to return to their former state. The final outcome depends on your care."

"I will definitely do my best to take care of my mother!"

Lin Yunyi said anxiously.

Seventh Master Li nodded and said, "Good, good, you're a Filial Piety. These medicines are hard to come by, so I'll write them down first. Have your steward collect them according to my instructions."

Lin Yunyi agreed to all of them.

Finally, feeling he had treated Qi Lingheng coldly, he saw Seventh Master Li off and apologized to Qi Lingheng: "My apologies..."

Madam Lin stood up and groped her way over.

Qi Lingheng caught her, Madam Lin asked, "Is he the son-in-law?"

Before Lin Yunyi could speak, Qi Lingheng raised his hand to interrupt him, telling him not to make a fuss. The doctor had just instructed that the Physician should not shed any more tears, and it was best not to mention the Lu family's affairs to upset her.

Lin Yunyi neither confirmed nor denied it, but simply instructed the maid to help Madam Lin back home.

He personally saw Qi Lingheng off.

Qi Lingheng told him, "If you're short of medicine, send someone to Prince Huan's Residence to get it."

Lin Yunyi agreed verbally, but in his heart he didn't want to trouble the Prince any further.

The two families had no connection, and my father had been gone for so many years, so it wasn't appropriate to ask the Prince for too much help.

After seeing Qi Lingheng off, Lin Yunyi hurriedly returned to his study to write a reply to Lin Yunwan.

"My mother's eyes can be cured! My Elder Sister will be so happy to hear that!"

After writing the letter, he instructed his servant to deliver it to the Wuding Marquis Residence as soon as possible.

Seventh Master Li also got into the carriage full of wine, hurrying back to bathe and drink. He also sent someone to tell Old Madam Xia that there was no need to call anyone else, as he had already examined Madam Lin's eyes.

Lin Yunwan soon received a letter from her younger brother.

After reading it, Tao Ye burst into tears. "Our lady's eyes can be cured!"

Ping Ye cried after reading it, "Amitabha, it must be the Bodhisattva or the Master manifesting his power."

Lin Yunwan wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, then remembered something and said, "It's strange, no one led the way, how did my uncle know where the Lin Residence was?"

In the letter, Lin Yunyi did not mention the matter of Prince Huan. He believed that this was a debt of gratitude owed to the Lin Family, which he would repay when he grew up.

He was the pillar of the family, and he couldn't let his sister make any more sacrifices to repay their kindness.

Old Madam Xia also sent a maid over, who said with a smile, "Madam, our Old Madam said that after Seventh Master finished seeing the first patient today, he immediately went to the Lin Family to see Madam Lin's eyes, so you can rest assured."

Lin Yunwan said she had also received a letter from home and was going to thank Old Madam Xia in person, so she changed her clothes and went there.

Old Madam Xia was very pleased that her younger brother could help the Lin Family. She took Lin Yunwan's hand and said, "If your mother's eyesight improves, I will definitely go to see her in person."

Lin Yunwan replied, "Definitely. Once my mother's eyes have recovered, I will definitely come to thank you."

Old Madam Xia didn't rely on the Lin Family's Xie.

As they talked, Lin Yunwan thanked Old Madam Xia thoughtfulness, "If you hadn't left someone by my uncle's side, he wouldn't even know where the Lin Family was, and he probably wouldn't be able to see my mother today."

Old Madam Xia was taken aback. "I didn't leave anyone for him."

Lin Yunwan was even more stunned.

Who brought my uncle there?

It's definitely not Lu family. The Lu family doesn't even know where Seventh Master Li is or where he lives.

Lin Yunwan asked, "I wonder if it would be convenient for the Old Madam to say, which noble person did my uncle come to the capital to treat for his eye ailment?"

Old Madam Xia hesitated for a moment, then glanced at her daughter-in-law Lu Jia, beside her.

Lu Jia secretly rolled her eyes; those two were the ones who acted like real daughters-in-law!

Old Madam Xia didn't explain clearly, but said vaguely, "Your uncle only mentioned it to me alone, saying that..." She pointed to the sky.

Lu Jia was utterly astonished. The Emperor?!

Old Madam Xia warned her not to gossip.

Lin Yunwan was also quite surprised. Was Seventh Master Li here to treat the Emperor's eye ailment?

Could it be that the person who took my uncle to the Lin Family was...?

Prince Huan.
