Chapter 901: Chapter 901: Don’t Fall Behind_1

He was entrusted by his family’s elder with a task, to closely watch Lin Caisang and by all means prevent Prince Mo from taking advantage of her, possibly drawing her over to his side for his own use. He thought that this must also be the Emperor’s intention.

But now, these two seemed to become closer by the day, often laughing and talking together.

That was Prince Mo, after all. When had anyone ever seen him smile at others? Not to mention others, even towards his own father, the Emperor, he was always cold-faced.

He truly feared that if he wasn’t careful, Lin Caisang would end up running off to Prince Mo’s side.

At that time, how would he explain himself to his own family’s elder?

"Steward, why don’t you go... persuade her?" Not only Steward Xin but also several other people from the National Teacher’s residence had come along. They felt that things couldn’t continue this way and suggested this to Steward Xin.

Who knew, Steward Xin merely swept a cold glance over them.

"If you’re so capable, why don’t you go persuade her?"

He had already tried once, and Lin Caisang hadn’t taken him seriously at all, alright?

Moreover, Lin Caisang couldn’t really be said to belong to the National Teacher’s residence; she had merely responded to a posted notice to treat his young master. Hoping to involve her in the National Teacher’s residence for the elder’s use was just the elder’s own wishful thinking.

If Lin Caisang was unwilling, who could do anything about it?

"This... We’re not familiar with that lady, after all. You, Steward Xin, are acquainted with her, right? If you talk to her, she should listen, shouldn’t she?" The few followers and guards, seeing his response, could only offer sheepish smiles.

For them to approach Lin Caisang, did they not value their own heads? That female healer dared to poison the National Teacher. Not long ago, she had poisoned Eunuch Su, the Emperor’s most trusted aide, into silence.

They had heard that because Eunuch Su had offended Lin Caisang, the Emperor had demoted him to pig farming, and he was made to eat with the pigs.

Now, who would dare to offend Lin Caisang?

Listening to their words, Steward Xin simply rolled his eyes.

How well did he know Lin Caisang?

Did a few conversations count as being acquainted? If that were the case, there were plenty of people acquainted with Lin Caisang. Prince Mo even shared a carriage with her every day, didn’t he?

The key wasn’t whether you’ve had a few conversations but whether Lin Caisang wanted to become acquainted with someone. This was the most important thing, wasn’t it!

"I..."

"Steward, steward, that lady is coming over."

Steward Xin wanted to say something else but was interrupted by a person next to him. He turned around to look and indeed saw Lin Caisang approaching them.

"Miss."

He quickly stood up, putting on a smiling face as he looked at her.

"Tomorrow, we will pass by the next county. Make sure all these medicinal ingredients are prepared, without missing a single one." Lin Caisang handed him a prescription list dense with the names of medicinal materials.

Only then did Steward Xin remember that it was almost time for his young master’s poison treatment.

"Certainly, Miss. I will have someone prepare everything properly," he promised, taking the prescription list in his hand and nodding.

"Also, when Young Master Su wakes up tomorrow, there’s no need to knock him out again. Just tie him up with rope," Lin Caisang hesitated before adding the instruction.

After all, Suri, that brat, had been rendered mute by her, and couldn’t make any sound. Tied up with hemp rope and thrown into the carriage, she wouldn’t have any objections to whatever fuss he wanted to make.

"Miss, can’t we... can’t we treat the young master’s poison while he’s ’asleep’?" Steward Xin asked.

This question had been on his mind for a while. Since Lin Caisang disliked noise, they could knock the young master out for her; could they also treat the young master’s poison while he was unconscious?
