Chapter 227 - Retreat To Advance
Chapter 227: Retreat To Advance
Lin Bai thought to himself, looks like I have to put in more effort to find some substantial evidence.
Otherwise, with Old Master Ye’s trust in Qin Weikang, it would be impossible to convince him with his empty words.
But how could I find substantial evidence?
This question really stumped Lin Bai.
Perhaps Lin Bai was too engrossed in his thoughts, so he unconsciously stared at Qin Weikang for a long time.
Qin weikang also turned his gaze to Lin Bai. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and a hint of undetectable viciousness flashed in his eyes.
But in just an instant, he returned to his elegant and elegant appearance.
He smiled and looked at Old Master Ye in response to his previous praise.
“Mr. Ye, you flatter me. It’s my honor to be able to help you recuperate.”
Although he only glanced at Lin Bai and didn’t say or do anything special.
But Lin Bai’s intuition told him that Qin Weikang must have already sensed something.

Perhaps Old Master Ye’s intentional emphasis on trust had allowed Qin Weikang to guess that Lin Bai was suspecting him?
If that was really the case, then his sharp senses were a little too frightening.
Lin Bai suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his mind and decided to make a move to retreat in order to advance.
After Qin Weikang left, Lin Bai took the initiative to say to Old Master Ye,”Grandfather, I should have thought too much earlier. I thought that your health had not improved for a long time and that it was because Doctor Qin did not fully recuperate.”
“But when I saw him just now, I felt that he should be one of those famous doctors with outstanding medical skills and character. There must be a reason for his medication plan.”
Old Master Ye smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter. You’re just being kind.”
“It’s good for young people to have the courage to doubt. It’s even more courageous to admit when they realize that they’re wrong.”
“Anyway, now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, everything will be fine.”
Lin Bai added, “Doctor Qin’s medical skills are brilliant, and the prescription is very exquisite. The brewing process of the medicinal herbs might also be ingenious.”
“Grandpa, can you let me see how the medicine is brewed? Maybe I can learn a lot from it.”
Old Master Ye naturally had no reason to refuse such a small request.
“The medicinal herbs were all sent over by Doctor Qin after they were taken care of, and then brewed by my servants.”
“It’s about time to start brewing the medicine for tonight. Since you’re so interested, go to the kitchen and take a look.”
Lin Bai was delighted. He thought to himself that his luck was pretty good. He could just watch the entire brewing process.
He put on an expression and said impatiently, “That’s great! Then I’ll go and take a look right away!”
Old Master Ye smiled and said, “Go on, go on. Watch and learn. I’ll be fine as long as Xiao Mo keeps me company.”
Lin Bai also had the same intention. He hoped that Yu Jinmo could stay and continue to keep grandfather ye company.
After all, Lin Bai still had no way of determining whether the servant who brewed grandfather Ye’s medicine had tampered with the process.
Therefore, he had to watch the entire process. It would take at least a few hours.
He did not want Yu Jinmo to stay there with him.
In the kitchen, a woman in her fifties was in charge of brewing medicine. Everyone called her Aunt Zhang.
Lin Bai chatted with Aunt Zhang for a while and knew that she had worked in the Ye family for more than twenty years. She was the most senior servant in the Ye family besides the housekeeper.
Although it was the first time Aunt Zhang met Lin Bai, after knowing that Lin Bai was the grandson-in-law of the old man, she treated Lin Bai very kindly.
But it was not too humble. Instead, there was a kind of affection, as if she regarded Lin Bai as her own relative and junior.
Or it should be said that she treated all the younger generation of the Ye family in the same way.
Lin Bai also learned from the conversation that Aunt Zhang’s husband and son also worked in the Ye family. The husband was a gardener, and the son was the exclusive driver and assistant of a young generation of the Ye family. It was said that he was highly regarded.
Aunt Zhang also said that when her son was studying, because he did not have a local household registration in the country, he was always being nitpicked on. She was so worried that she could not sleep every day.
Later, the housekeeper saw that her condition was not right and asked for the reason, so he mentioned it to Old Master Ye.
After Old Master Ye learned about it, he helped to solve the household registration problem of the whole family, so that her son could smoothly study.
When she brought up this past incident, Aunt Zhang’s tone was filled with gratitude.
Lin Bai carefully observed her expression when she spoke and knew that she was not lying.
Aunt Zhang was truly grateful to Old Master Ye and the Ye family from the bottom of her heart.
Such a person should not have intentionally drugged old master ye to harm him.
Lin Bai made this judgment in his heart. However, for the sake of caution, he still used the enhanced version of the divine level human discernment technique to observe her.
The life records that he saw were basically the same as what Aunt Zhang had described herself, except that there were many more things that Aunt Zhang had not said.
Back then, when they did not have a local household registration, their son could only study in school as a student. He had also transferred to another school several times midway due to various reasons, and he was often isolated and bullied by his teachers and classmates.
He even had the mentality of being tired of school, skipping school every day, and hanging out with the society’s shady people.
After the old man helped solve the hukou problem, the child was finally able to study normally and was no longer ostracized. He smoothly studied all the way until he graduated from university.
After reading all this, Lin Bai understood why Aunt Zhang was so grateful to the Ye family.
Because not only did Old Master Ye help their family solve the household register problem, he also saved their son’s life and future.
Otherwise, if their son dropped out of school early and hung out with those scum of society all day long, sooner or later, he would become just like them.
“Aunt Zhang, in the past few years, have you always been in charge of brewing medicine for Grandpa?”Lin Bai asked.
Aunt Zhang nodded and replied, “Yes, I’m not at ease with other people’s brewing, so I’ve always been the one to do it myself.”
“Not only the medicine, but also the medicinal cuisine that the master usually takes. I’m basically in charge of it.”
As she spoke, she even took out a small notebook that she always carried with her and showed it to Lin Bai.
“Look, look. There are all kinds of medicinal cuisine suitable for the master to eat, as well as the sequence and time of adding the various medicinal herbs when brewing the medicine, are all recorded on it.”
“I usually don’t let anyone else touch this book, but since you’re his future grandson-in-law, I can let you have a look.”
As she spoke, she quickly flipped through the book, displaying the densely packed words inside, as well as the shapes of many of the medicinal herbs that she had drawn herself.
However, because she flipped through it very quickly, Lin Bai could not see the specific contents of every page.
“Can I have a look?” He asked.
