As soon as this was said, all the people in the court who had an impression of Lin Jiaojiao were in an uproar!

Rouyi was even more shocked: She had seen the woman's coffin with her own eyes from Drunken Flower Pavilion 17 years ago!

But after a while, she understood: That woman must have faked her death!

The other 4 criminals didn't know why, until the Minister of Justice directly called people to drag them all down from Taihe Hall!

The enemy criminals shouted and struggled, but none of the ministers looked at them more.

For the ministers, even though Lin Jiaojiao's court session was 17 years ago, those two court sessions were fresh in the memories of the ministers who were present at the time!

The first time was when she beat the drum and complained, and exposed the poisoning of the entire Xu Mansion, asking the Emperor to retry the Lin family's injustice from the previous dynasty, and at the same time pleaded guilty herself.

When she came to court for the second time, she was already an Imperial Physician. Although Xu Xiao and his son had committed suicide by taking poison for fear of crime, she still refused to let them go!

Especially after she was poisoned to death the next day, the Emperor ordered a strict investigation of everyone involved in the Xu family's corruption case, which caused one-third of the officials of the entire Dakang Dynasty to fall!

From then on, officials generally didn't dare to have large-scale embezzlement.

Two court sessions shook the court and the wild. Who dared not remember her!

It is remembered that at that time, Imperial Physician Chen had already determined that she was poisoned to death and had no pulse, but now the person is alive! She even became a famous doctor in Yun Province! Even the epidemic spread by the enemy country was curbed by her, and the prescription was developed!

A light burst out in Pei Aosong's eyes: Lin Jiaojiao is still alive!

Then this Piaoji Young General Lin Tiezhu is his son!

But Prime Minister Su's face was a bit bad. On one hand, his own grandson Pei Zhaoyang, whom he had loved since childhood, was punished and was being detained in Pei Mansion. His official career in the future would be difficult to have any prospects.

And that Pei Zhaoyang grew up more and more like the concubine who was poisoned to death. He gradually lost patience and was unwilling to protect Pei Zhaoyang's official career.

Prime Minister Su was not a stupid person. If he found a few old nannies in Pei Mansion to ask, he would know the inside story.

When daughter Su Wanqiu learned of this truth, she fainted on the spot!

And this Lin Tiezhu, although surnamed Lin, was the child taken away by Pei Aosong's concubine back then, but he was a promising one. Now he was so young and famous at a young age. In the future, there would be opportunities to be named the Zhenguo Great General!

So when he saw Lin Tiezhu, Su Hongtu had already inferred that he was actually his own grandson!

If he recognized him, that would be great. But who would have thought that Lin Jiaojiao, the concubine who was divorced by Pei Aosong back then, was still alive!

Qin Yuan's pupils expanded suddenly. He couldn't hold the posture that an emperor should have on the dragon chair, and his excitement was overflowing, showing the longing expression of a young man meeting a young girl for the first time, "She is still alive. It has been so many years, why didn't she reveal any wind?"

After speaking, he looked at Song Shijie standing under the hall with anger, "Is it your Song family who hid it from me, right?"

"Reporting to the Emperor, this subject dare not." Song Shijie was over forty and had been rolling in the officialdom for more than twenty years. He already knew how to deal with the Emperor smoothly.

He only raised his official tablet and bowed respectfully, "After the adopted younger sister was poisoned to death back then, we buried her thickly according to the Song family's etiquette. That memorial tablet is still standing in our Song family's ancestral hall."

He explained slowly: "The adopted younger sister's child was raised in our Song family until he was three years old, but who would have thought that one day he would suddenly go missing. Our entire Song family searched for many years, but never found him, and finally had to give up."

"This subject didn't expect that the adopted younger sister was still alive, and didn't expect that the adopted younger sister's child is now the Piaoji Young General!"

Even though Song Shijie was clearing his relationship, anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was pretending!

Lin Tiezhu looked surprised and hurriedly bowed to Song Shijie, "In this way, Minister Song, you are my uncle!"

It was fine that Song Shijie was acting, but Lin Tiezhu was really young, and his acting level was clumsy!

Qin Yuan looked at Song Shijie and Lin Tiezhu below with half-anger and half-resentment, and asked, "Then is your mother still in Yun Province?"

"Mother and I set off from Yun Province to the capital together. She said she still had concerns in the capital, so after cleaning up the epidemic in Yun Province, she came to the capital together."

"Oh? What other concerns?" Qin Yuan sat up straight on the dragon chair, and a trace of expectation appeared in his eyes.

"The person my mother is concerned about is my grandfather Song Old Master and grandmother Song Old Madam," Lin Tiezhu said, taking out a piece of paper from his lapel, "By the way, this is the prescription developed by my mother specifically to deal with the epidemic. She asked me to present the prescription to the Emperor in case of need."

Hearing this, Qin Yuan felt a bit disappointed in his heart.

But thinking that she was in the capital, he could summon her into the palace at any time.

He smiled slightly, waved his hand, and said, "I didn't expect her to still care about the people. Since that's the case, I want to summon her into the palace to see the Saint and confer the title of Lady of Title!"

Hearing that his mother was to be summoned into the palace, Lin Tiezhu knelt and kowtowed to plead, "Reporting to the Emperor, mother said this morning that she had almost died in the Huang Gong several times. If the Emperor insists on her entering the palace, she would rather hit the pillar and die, and then have her corpse lifted into the palace!"

Eunuch Gao couldn't help but sigh. If this Imperial Physician Lin had followed the Emperor back then, who would dare to poison her, and where would there be so many things now!

Qin Yuan was stagnant on the dragon chair.

"Presumptuous!" Prime Minister Su scolded, "This kind of noble place in the Huang Gong, she—"

"Forget it," Qin Yuan interrupted Prime Minister Su's words. He waved his hand helplessly, "Then I will draft an edict and send this title book to Lin Young General's Mansion."

Lin Tiezhu kowtowed, "Thank you for your grace!"

But at this moment, Lin Jiaojiao was not at the newly bought Lin Young General's mansion, but was taking a carriage straight to the Song Mansion!

Now the mistress of the Song Mansion was Jiang Mianmian. 17 years ago, Lu Zhenting refused to marry, and she was ashamed and angry to death at that time. But after all, she was a descendant of a general, and she didn't persist in entanglement, but said goodbye to Lu Mu and moved out of Lu General Mansion alone, opening an eatery to settle down.

Lu Zhenting was demoted for resisting marriage, so she picked up Lu Mu and supported Lu Mu's old age.

Every time Lu Mu mentioned this, she lightly revealed it, "Brother Ting has been as close as an elder brother in my heart! Who would marry their own elder brother!"

Even if she was young, she knew that love is something that requires both sides to be willing.

When the eatery first opened, there were people coming to make trouble from time to time. At that time, it was Song Shijie who took action many times to drive away those troublemakers. Plus he often visited Lu Mu, and always met Jiang Mianmian, and after coming and going, they began to pay attention to each other.

Jiang Mianmian was a bit reckless in doing things, but gradually she changed it. Song Shijie saw her changes and growth, and for some reason, he gradually took her to heart.

Therefore, fifteen years ago, he married Jiang Mianmian into the Song Mansion.

At that time, Zhu Geer was only two years old, which was a cute age. Jiang Mianmian also changed her dislike for infants, and was actually willing to accompany Zhu Geer to play every day, and even took him to the eatery to play.

Of course, Lin Jiaojiao knew these things and agreed to them. After she was poisoned and faked her death, although she woke up, her body was extremely poor, and she had been living in seclusion in the Song family to recuperate, and lived for 3 years.

Jiang Mianmian was very surprised when she saw her, and later even Lin Jiaojiao didn't expect that she actually helped her hide this matter from the outside world!

Out of gratitude for helping her hide that she was still alive, Lin Jiaojiao cured her irregular menstruation. Since then, the two of them have called each other sisters.

Meeting again this time, it has been fourteen years!

Jiang Mianmian was no longer the young girl she was. She tied up her married woman's bun, wore a light purple skirt, and had a few fine lines at the corners of her eyes. When she heard the steward report, she personally went down to welcome Lin Jiaojiao.

Not only did she personally go down, but even the elderly Song Mu and Song Fu heard the steward report, and their brows were full of joy!

"You'an, hurry up and help me to the door, I want to welcome your aunt!" Song Mu couldn't care about the crutches, and just hurried to call the 15-year-old grandson to support her to the gate to welcome Lin Jiaojiao!
