Chapter 1082: Chapter 161: Secret Investigation

Imperial Doctor Tan was also stunned for a moment; Manbao was intently writing with a pen, then passed the written material to him, "What do you think about modifying the prescription like this?"

Imperial Doctor Tan regained his composure, looked down at the prescription, then looked up at Manbao, and after a long while, nodded and said, "Very good, I believe, in the future, the young master’s injury will truly need your treatment."

Old Madam Yin came back to her senses, "Imperial Doctor Tan?"

Imperial Doctor Tan addressed Old Madam Yin, "Old Madam, Young Doctor Zhou is more suitable to treat the young master than I am."

Old Madam Yin then looked towards Manbao, and Manbao also looked back at her with his round eyes.

After a moment, she sighed, nodded, and said: "Then from now on, we will rely on Young Doctor Zhou."

Manbao flashed a broad smile, without any refusal, and directly accepted saying, "Old Madam, rest assured, I will do my utmost."

Old Madam Yin sighed softly, stood up with the help of a maid, looked back into the inner chamber, then left.

Manbao watched Old Madam Yin’s slowly receding figure, and looked curiously at Imperial Doctor Tan, "This can be cured, right..."

Why does it seem like it’s the end for Yin Huo?

Imperial Doctor Tan smiled lightly and said, "This is a good thing; from now on, just focus on treating him well."

The more Old Madam Yin is concerned, it indicates that she has started to soften inside, having considered Yin Huo’s thoughts before becoming conflicted.

Imperial Doctor Tan, looking at the young Manbao, smiled and said, "The calf does not fear the tiger; some matters indeed need the vigor of you young people."

While it may seem impetuous, unstable, or even reckless in the eyes of us adults, isn’t that what life is all about?

Unexpected things always happen, and only then do those of us stuck in our ways start to think innovatively.

Imperial Doctor Tan, smiling, asked Manbao, "Can you also teach me that blood transfusion technique of yours? I heard that the young chap from the Zheng Family traded a medical book with you for this method?"

Manbao immediately replied, "No, no, just mutual exchange, I only looked at it for three days."

And then copied the book to read it slowly.

Exchange sounds better, trading would seem too overbearing.

Imperial Doctor Tan then smiled and said, "Coincidentally, I have some unique medical skills as well, how about I exchange some with you?"

Manbao nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, should I visit your residence when I have time?"

"Of course," Imperial Doctor Tan said with a smile, "Just bring my house’s visiting card and you can come over."

The two doctors were having a lively discussion outside, and the three people inside were equally lively. If it weren’t for Changshou’s reminder, they wouldn’t have realized it had gotten dark.

The Yin Family invited them to stay for dinner.

Manbao glanced at Yin Huo and then agreed; initially reluctant, Imperial Doctor Tan saw this and wanting to talk more with Manbao, also agreed.

They didn’t go anywhere else, just ate in Yin Huo’s outer chamber.

Yin Huo’s injury was slightly below his neck, at the collarbone area, which was painful, but he insisted on getting out of bed.

He was always resilient, so he also got out of bed and sat at the dining table.

Manbao pointed to the soup and said, "This soup is very light; you can drink more of it."

Bai Erlang, who was serving soup, gave him a bowl, and after taking a sip, said, "Not to mention, your culinary maid did a great job, almost comparable to Aunt Rong."

Imperial Doctor Tan also had soup first, then sighed, "Soup nourishes people."

Manbao nodded firmly in agreement, "That’s why to get fat, one must drink soup."

It was the first time Old Madam Yin experienced such a lively dining scene, feeling somewhat intrigued.

She managed to find a topic and smiled, asking the two doctors, "I wonder what kind of soup is suitable for Qilang. I’ll have the kitchen prepare it for him later."

Manbao immediately said, "There are many; I can list three sheets’ worth. You can then switch them around based on his taste. By the way, what soup do you like?"

The last question was directed at Yin Huo.

Yin Huo tilted his head to think and then said, "I’m fine with anything."

Bai Shan commented, "Pork rib soup is delicious."

Bai Erlang suggested, "I think mutton soup is not bad."

Manbao said, "Chicken soup is also tasty."

Imperial Doctor Tan listened with a smile until Manbao really wrote a full sheet of soup recipes for her, and then Old Madam Yin came back to her senses.

She asked someone to escort Manbao out and then turned back to look at her grandson. His face had returned to its usual expressionless state. Seeing his grandmother look over, he slightly twitched the corners of his mouth into a shallow smile, bowed, and then went back to the inner chamber to rest.

Old Madam Yin sighed. In the end, she didn’t have a heart-to-heart talk with him.

One reason was she had not yet made up her mind. She feared that if Yin Huo brought up the topic of not marrying, and if she disagreed, he might hurt himself; Secondly, the commotion last night was too much, and she feared whatever she said, he might not quite believe, much like she couldn’t fully trust every single word coming out of his mouth now.

So, it was better to wait for her son to return and let father and son talk it over.

However...

Old Madam Yin frowned slightly, supported by Daya’s hand as she returned to the main courtyard, then summoned the major steward and asked, "Did you find out?"

The steward bowed and said, "We investigated. That girl’s brother is in charge of the stables in the front yard. He taught his sister those words. I checked, and that lad brought a bag of silver home the day before yesterday. After a beating, he confessed. He was stopped when he was out; the bag of silver was a down payment, with more to come after the job was done."

"What about that person?"

"Couldn’t find him, he hasn’t appeared again, but I had someone sketch a portrait, and we’re discreetly investigating these past few days."

Old Madam Yin contemplated and after a while said, "Take the portrait and discreetly investigate at the Third Prince’s residence, Wang Family, and a few families close to the Third Prince. Don’t alarm anyone."

The steward was startled, "Old Madam..."

"No need to do anything, just figure out who that person is," she said with an unfathomable expression: "It’s just a little bit off, I must know who did it..."

If it weren’t for the accident last night... just thinking about it sent a chill down Old Madam Yin’s spine. She didn’t care whether the person behind it was targeting the Yin Family or Zhou Man, but her grandson might be the one at greatest risk of getting hurt.

Old Madam Yin might have been indecisive about Yin Huo, but she was resolute in other matters and was certainly no fool.

She pondered for a moment and asked, "Did you find out about the nails in Su Jian’s boots?"

"No news yet, but several servants died at the stables and Su Family," the steward bowed and asked, "Should I investigate?"

"Probably won’t find out anything..." Old Madam Yin thought for a moment and said, "I remember it won’t be long before the birthday of Old Madam Lu from Lu Family, right? Find out if Old Madam Feng is going; if she is, I might as well join in the fun."

The steward quickly agreed and bowed to leave.

The assassination attempt on Yin Huo was only circulated within a small range; it was a scandal that the Yin Family certainly wouldn’t spread. However, exactly as someone was watching Manbao and the others discover that Imperial Doctor Tan had visited for two consecutive days, they inquired and found out.
