The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 544: Forgive Me

Arriving at the Marquis Mansion, Lin Shuo took Yun Jiao to the backyard.

Madam Hou was currently crying in the room, while maids and servant women tried to comfort her.

But their consolation had no effect at all.

A servant entered and said, "Madam, the young master has arrived."

Madam Hou suddenly stopped crying, and stood up abruptly, "Didn’t he leave home? When did he come back?"

Lin Shuo entered just in time to hear this sentence, unsure whether Madam Hou was clear-headed or confused.

Upon seeing Lin Shuo, Madam Hou unexpectedly ran over, hugged him, and burst into tears, "Ah Shuo, I was wrong, Ah Shuo, I shouldn’t have treated you like that."

"Ah Shuo, will you forgive me?"

Lin Shuo felt a bitter ache in his heart; he knew she was suffering too, but what good would forgiveness do?

He gently patted Madam Hou’s back, "Mother, I heard you haven’t been eating well these past two days, so I’ve invited a doctor to check on you."

Madam Hou’s eyes lit up, her expression grew slightly excited, "Ah Shuo truly cares for his mother."

She gazed tenderly at Lin Shuo and obediently sat down.

However, she quickly frowned and looked at Yun Jiao with doubt, "Are you the doctor?"

Lin Shuo set down the medicine box and earnestly said, "Doctor Gu is a very, very skilled doctor."

Madam Hou nodded obediently, "Mm, what Ah Shuo says must be true."

Yun Jiao did not attempt to ask Madam Hou anything. On the way here, Lin Shuo had recounted that unbearable scene once more in the carriage.

She only felt sadness for Madam Hou.

Spending nineteen years of effort on Lin Shuo, even with undisclosed motives, emotions had uncontrollably been invested.

She believed that Madam Hou did not regret killing that concubine at all, but she regretted hurting Lin Shuo.

The intensity of love and hate was too overwhelming for her to bear; under the body’s self-protection mechanism, she had become this mad and frenzied state.

Yun Jiao observed Madam Hou’s tongue coating and sat down to take her pulse.

After taking the pulse, Yun Jiao rose and walked to the outer room to speak to Lin Shuo, "I can’t guarantee full recovery with this illness, we can only start with medication to see."

"Moreover, the medication requires both decoction and powdered forms to be taken simultaneously."

"Also, I must tell you clearly first, the decoction will cause diarrhea after consumption."

"Do you think it’s still worth taking it or not?"

Lin Shuo nodded, "We’ll take it."

"Alright then, I’ll prepare the powder back home and have it sent over tomorrow."

"The decoction can be taken today, and if Madam Hou has severe diarrhea afterward, it means the medicine is effective."

"Also, regarding the diarrhea, it might be water, bloody water, foam, or mucus, all of which are normal, so don’t be alarmed."

"Just pay attention to one thing: if Madam Hou experiences excessive diarrhea and we fear she might collapse, administer the decoction every other day."

Lin Shuo nodded repeatedly, "Good, I’ve remembered everything."

Only then did Yun Jiao sit down and prepare a formula for the decoction.

Lin Shuo promptly handed the prescription to a servant to fetch the medicine and personally escorted Yun Jiao out.

He didn’t mention any consultation fee, as discussing such matters between them would feel impersonal.

Lin Shuo didn’t board the carriage but rode his horse next to Yun Jiao’s carriage.

After exiting the gates of the Marquis Mansion, Yun Jiao lifted the curtain and asked Lin Shuo, "Isn’t it cold riding in such a strong wind? Perhaps you’re better off sitting in the carriage."

Not far away, a figure was watching them, then disappeared in a flash.

Lin Shuo did not notice, only shook his head, "No, I’m used to riding."

On the way here just now, he sat in the carriage out of necessity, to detail his mother’s illness and its causes to Yun Jiao.
