Buddha-like Mrs. Lin
Chapter 70
But even so..,
Jia Su didn't care too much about this. Her attention fell on Lin Ruhai's words. "You mean, if we tell the Emperor that the Third Prince colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country, the Emperor will choose to kill us?"
Lin Ruhai thought for a moment. "Not necessarily. His Holiness and Benevolence today,
Perhaps he won't start a massacre.
But he doesn't want to see us again,
Or hear our news,
But it's certain. "
In other words..,
Once this news was spread, let alone what would happen to the Third Prince, the Lin family's current good situation would be destroyed.
"Also, we don't have any evidence. If the Emperor really believes that the Third Imperial Prince has colluded with the enemy and committed treason, as long as the Third Imperial Prince hasn't committed any major crimes, the Emperor only needs to deal with the enemy spies. At most, the Third Imperial Prince will have no chance of fighting for the throne. Perhaps, in the future, his title will be slightly lower than the other princes, but he will definitely be able to live well.
"If the Emperor doesn't believe it..,
We will be treated as villains by the Emperor who slandered the Third Prince,
We don't know what the result will be then. "
Jia Su fell silent. She forgot,
She was no longer in the modern world where everyone was equal,
In ancient times..,
Imperial power was supreme,
In order to protect the dignity of the imperial family, what was the death of a few people?
Who asked the Third Prince to not do anything until now?
Jia Su thought for a moment. "I'll take care of this matter.
We must take care of the Third Prince, and we can't get involved. "
Only at this time did Jia Su feel that the existence of her supernatural ability was a real golden finger.
Mother Lin and Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Su with some worry. They wanted to ask, but they didn't know where to start.
Lin Ruhai grabbed Jia Su's hand. "If it's dangerous, we can tell Duke Rongguo about it. He should know better than us what to do.
Even Duke Rongguo can't do anything. Isn't there still the Crown Prince?
The Crown Prince will never be soft-hearted against the Third Prince. "
Moreover, the Crown Prince was a member of the imperial family. With the Holy Emperor's feelings for the Crown Prince, the matter would definitely be resolved smoothly.
Jia Su nodded. "Don't worry. I won't put myself in danger."
She had the same idea as Lin Ruhai, but she had never considered asking the Jia Daishan for help. Instead, she had decided to set a trap for the Third Prince to reveal the truth of his treason in front of the Crown Prince and the other princes.
However, this matter could only wait for the right time. Jia Su could only put it aside for now.
Seeing that the matter had come to an end, Mama Lin asked, "Is there something wrong with Chi Xia's body?"
Jia Su frowned. "Chi Xia's child might not be saved."
"Why?" Mother Lin exclaimed.
Jia Su had a complicated look in his eyes. "Chi Xia fell when she got up and changed her clothes at noon."
"There's no one around her to take care of her?
Are you holding a book? "
Jia Su lowered his head. "She went to the kitchen with the books."
Lin Mu felt incredulous: "She just saved her child. Why didn't she lie in bed and rest? Why did she change clothes by herself?
It wouldn't take her long to carry the books to the kitchen and get the food. Wouldn't it be better if she just waited? "
Because she had experienced the pain of begging for a child, Mother Lin couldn't bear to see miscarriages. Just hearing about it made her heart ache.
Jia Su didn't know what to say. After a long while, she sighed. "Daughter-in-law asked Chi Xia why she didn't want to have a child, but she didn't admit it. When I asked her too much, she stammered and said it had nothing to do with me."
Chi Xia wasn't a criminal. She couldn't force her to do anything.
"She didn't want to have a child?" Lin Mu's eyes widened. "Where did this come from?"
Jia Su wanted to sigh again. "Yesterday, Doctor Li said that as long as one studied medicine, they would know about the dwarf banyan and the spice.
However, Chi Xia's medical skills are quite good. Yesterday, when she passed by the dwarf banyan, she didn't react at all. After entering my mother's courtyard, she didn't give any warning to leave. "
It could be said that Chi Xia didn't think about the spice. However, how could Chi Xia not know what would happen when the dwarf banyan and the spice were combined?
However, she still entered her mother's room without saying a word.
Jia Su even felt that if Chi Xia hadn't suddenly felt unbearable hunger and went to eat some pastries, which resulted in an accidental morning sickness, and the doctor she called found out that she was pregnant, perhaps no one other than Chi Xia would have known that she was pregnant until the child was miscarried.
"What's the reason?" Lin Ruhai's eyes were filled with anger.
It wasn't just because Chi Xia's actions had hurt his nerves as a member of the Lin family. It was also because Chi Xia's husband had been by his side for many years.
The child that Chi Xia wanted to abort was for the sake of the book!
Jia Su also felt that she was somewhat sorry for the book, but this matter …
"If Chi Xia doesn't want to say it, I can't do anything about it."
Lin Ruhai held his breath. "If the child is miscarried, I will definitely ask the book seller to divorce her and then kick her out of the Lin family!"
Jia Su quickly comforted him. "Don't worry, it's fine. The book seller is more appropriate. Although he went to get food himself, he still asked someone to stay by Chi Xia's side."
Although the person was kicked out of the room by Chi Xia, he was entrusted with the book seller and didn't care about Chi Xia's temper at all. After being kicked out, he still stayed at the door and didn't let Chi Xia discover him. "When Chi Xia fell, that person heard the noise and immediately helped her to the bed. Then, he asked someone to call Doctor Li."
This child's desire to live was particularly strong. Under the circumstances of being drugged first and then falling, he still persisted until Doctor Li arrived.
However, after being tormented twice, the child couldn't withstand a third time.
However, she couldn't tell Lin Ruhai these words. She could only say, "The child is blessed with good fortune. As long as he is well taken care of, nothing will happen to him."
"But will Chi Xia be well taken care of?" Lin Ruhai glared and asked angrily.
"Uh …"
Mother Lin couldn't stand it. "Ruhai, it's not like Shu Er doesn't want to have a child. Why are you getting angry at Shu Er?"
Lin Ruhai turned his head and said awkwardly, "I'm not angry at Ruosang."
He was just feeling indignant for the book seller.
It wasn't easy for him to marry a beautiful wife. At that time, the book seller was so happy. After being married for nearly a year, it wasn't easy for his wife to have a child. However, in the end, she tried every possible means to abort the child.
Lin Ruhai just thought about Jia Su and felt that he couldn't stand it at all.
Jia Su smiled and nodded at Mother Lin. She didn't pay much attention to Lin Ruhai's words just now.
She was the one who assigned Chi Xia to the book seller. Now that such an unforeseen event had happened, she had to take some responsibility for it.
Not to mention that Lin Ruhai didn't get angry at her. Even if he did, Jia Su felt that she deserved it.
However, between the book seller and Chi Xia, Jia Su was naturally more concerned about Chi Xia. "I'll go see Chi Xia tomorrow and see if I can pry open her mouth."
That was the only thing she could do now.
Jia Su finally remembered why the topic was related to Chi Xia. She couldn't help but look at Lin Ruhai. "Husband, you said before that the Emperor was looking for you. What's the matter?"
After being interrupted by this matter, the joy in Lin Ruhai's heart lessened a bit. He said in a somewhat gloomy tone, "The Emperor said that he allowed us to print the exam questions into books and sell them. However, at the same time, other bookstores can also take money to the Ministry of Revenue to buy the exam questions from previous years. They're also allowed to print them into books."
Jia Su froze for a moment. However, after thinking about it carefully, she didn't think that this would have any impact on the Lin family's bookstore business.
"Husband, don't worry. Even if other bookstores receive the news immediately and go to the Ministry of Revenue to buy the exam questions, they can only print them into books after selecting and arranging them. However, our exam questions have already been arranged and printed. Even the bookstores in other places have already finished printing their books."
When it came to doing business, being one step ahead meant being a hundred steps ahead. This one step could even make other people in the same business become cannon fodder.
They were already more than one step ahead. There was no need to worry about other bookstores.
The only unexpected thing was …
"However, there's still one more thing we have to do."
Lin Ruhai and Mother Lin turned to look at Jia Su. She smiled faintly and had a face full of confidence, "In order to prevent other bookstores from simply giving up on the layout and directly printing the exam questions for sale, we have to assemble the exam questions from the past few years and directly publish them into books."
Lin Ruhai thought for a moment, "Is there anything else you need help with?"
Jia Su looked at him, "Husband, if you have time, write down the answers to the exam questions and attach them to the back. It's also a reference for other students."
It had to be known that the Spring Imperial Examination was coming up next month. A set of exam questions that didn't have any answers, and they didn't know whether the answers were correct or not, would only make people anxious.
If Lin Ruhai could write down all the answers to the exam questions, even if other bookstores were to publish their books first, they would still have to turn around and buy the answers from the Lin family's bookstore again.
If their reputation spread, the other students who didn't buy the books would naturally not be willing to spend more money. Instead, they would directly buy from the Lin family.
Lin Ruhai hesitated for a moment, "Husband has already done most of those exam questions. There's no need to do them again."
Even if the Lin family began to decline during Lin Ruhai's father's generation, the previous generations were all truly influential. Because the Lin family was originally a scholarly family, it wasn't strange for the previous head of the Lin family to keep all the exam questions for each year.
Moreover, among the families that were on good terms with the Lin family, there would always be one or two families who didn't mind the decline of the Lin family. They were willing to help Lin Ruhai when he decided to take the Imperial Examination. They could also help search for reading materials.
Jia Su glared, "Since the Lin family already has the exam questions, why do they still want to cooperate with the Emperor?"
"These things are passed around in private. Naturally, no one will care if everyone does it.
But if it gets out of hand, it's hard to say what the result will be. "
Lin Ruhai smiled, "Moreover, many of the exam questions that the Emperor gave us were from the Spring Imperial Examination and the Palace Examination. They were personally set by the scholars and Cabinet Elders.
However, because they didn't draw lots, they were directly put into the imperial library before anyone saw them. "
Jia Su's eyes immediately lit up, "Which are the questions that haven't been used?"
Originally, she thought that 《Five Years of Spring Imperial Examination》 and 《Three Years of Palace Examination》 was missing something. After hearing Lin Ruhai's words, wasn't it missing a very important part — the mock questions?
Although those Cabinet Elders all rushed to make their exam questions appear in the Imperial Examination examination, in the end, they were a bit unlucky and weren't chosen.
Judging from the nature of these exam questions, weren't they similar to mock questions?
If it weren't for the lack of time, Jia Su wanted to directly change the title of the book to 《Three Years of Imperial Examination》.
The number of exam questions set by the scholars and Cabinet Elders were more than the ones set by the Imperial Examination. Moreover, their standards were similar. For the sake of sustainable development, this was the only way to change the title.
However, the matter of changing the name would probably have to wait until next year.
Right now, the most important thing was —
"Husband, regardless of whether you've done these questions or not, please write me a copy of the answers."
Jia Su's face was full of smiles, "It's said that learning is like rowing a boat against the current. If you don't advance, you'll fall behind. I deeply agree with that. Therefore, husband, you should take this opportunity to review the knowledge that you've mastered."
