Therefore, as soon as he entered the room, Doctor Wang kept his head low and completely ignored Lin Siyu, who had already been beaten within an inch of her life, and went straight to the bedside, took her pulse, inspected her tongue coating, and checked her eyes.

During this time, the only sound that could be heard in the entire room was that of Doctor Wang attending to the patient; even Hong Yan obediently closed her mouth and said nothing.

It took a while before Doctor Wang finally raised his head and, with a bow, said to Li Chang, "Sir, your son, he has indulged excessively, and his body has suffered severe depletion.

For now, his life can still be saved, but in the future, he must exercise greater restraint in sexual matters.

I will prescribe a few doses of medicine for the young master to help regulate his body. "

Hearing that his son’s life was not in danger, Li Chang’s heart finally settled. With his worry alleviated, his anger started to rise, and he didn’t even want to look at his unfilial son anymore.

Flapping his sleeves angrily, Li Chang turned and left, "Don’t just stand there, take this unfilial son back! When he wakes up, send him to the countryside to recover! Without my permission, he is not allowed to return home! Wretch!"

A hint of a smile curved at Lady Jin’s lips, her mood very much uplifted.

"Master, what about Maternal Aunt Lin and her servant girl?"

In the moment before Li Chang stepped out of the room, Lady Jin asked.

Li Chang’s eyes flashed with a sinister gleam, "Leave it to Madam to deal with them as she pleases!"

He said to ’deal with,’ not to ’punish,’ showing he had no intention of letting Lin Siyu live.

Panpan naturally also discerned the implication of these words. Her eyes darting about, she burst into tears, fell to her knees pleading, "Madam, my lord, spare my life! I was forced by Maternal Aunt Lin, if I disobeyed her, she would beat me to death!"

Saying this, Panpan cunningly rolled up her sleeves to reveal the bruises on her arm, exposing the marks in blue and purple.

"Madam, see, these are the marks from Maternal Aunt Lin beating me; my body is also full of injuries."

Hong Yan’s eyes flashed, and she said with a frown and sympathy, "Oh, such a pitiful young girl, I even witnessed it once. They said they would sell this girl to the brothel for being disobedient!"

Lady Jin followed up saying, "Panpan is not a death servant; what right does she have to beat someone!"

Panpan hung her head, the corners of her mouth drawing up slightly.

The marks from Maternal Aunt Lin’s beatings were on parts of her body not easily seen, and the bruises on her arm were self-inflicted in preparation.

Considering the fact that Lin Siyu did indeed abuse and scold Panpan, even if Panpan had other ulterior motives, it could hardly be faulted.

The matter of beating had already added fuel to Li Chang’s anger, and on top of that, Panpan delivered an even more ruthless blow.

"Madam, there is another matter I must report. The Young Lady’s miscarriage wasn’t an accident; it was Maternal Aunt Lin who tampered with the bricks on the garden path that caused the Young Lady to fall."

Panpan’s words struck like a bolt from the blue, leaving Lady Jin and Li Chang in utter shock!

The child, was it Lin Siyu who caused the miscarriage?

Panpan nodded, "Maternal Aunt Lin was jealous of the Young Lady’s pregnancy because she had no children of her own.

She repeatedly instructed me to trip the Young Lady, and since I refused to harm her, she took matters into her own hands.

Madam, after the Young Lady fell, I went to the garden to check; those bricks had been deliberately tampered with. "

"Such a serious matter, why didn’t you report it?" No matter what, Jin Lingling was Lady Jin’s niece, and because of this incident, she even lost the ability to bear children, which naturally infuriated Lady Jin.

Panpan timidly hung her head, "I didn’t dare to, Maternal Aunt Lin threatened that if I told anyone, she would send me to the eldest young master’s bed. I was just a month away from earning my freedom to go home, I still want to marry."

Lady Jin frowned, left with no words to say.

Li Chang was so angry that he began to tremble; this was the woman he once doted on, the very one who personally harmed his own grandchild!

Just then, from beside the bed, Jin Lingling suddenly started sobbing, "What, you, you harmed my son? Oh heavens, how could you be so cruel, not only did this woman steal my man, but why did she also have to kill my son! He was so little, he wasn’t even born yet! Wuuu wuuu."

In that moment, Jin Lingling’s tears were genuine, mourning her unborn child whom she never had the chance to meet.

Li Chang’s killing intent towards Lin Siyu became earnest now, and if not for his status as the County Magistrate, he would have taken action himself!

"This vile woman!" Li Chang narrowed his eyes, and said to Lady Jin, "Madam, see to it."

With that, he gave Lady Jin a meaningful look.

Having lived together with Li Chang for more than a decade, Lady Jin understood his glance; he was indicating that Lin Siyu should not have an easy death.
