Hearing Lin Ru’s instructions, Mrs. Lin turned around and walked out quickly. Lin Shuran was in the main courtyard and was going to stay with her tonight.

When Lin Shuran heard the scream, she was so frightened that she huddled herself up, trembling.

Mrs. Lin did not know why Liu Sanniang insisted on seeing Lin Shuran. When she returned to the main courtyard, the maidservants were all there. When Lin Shuran saw her mother come over, she came out anxiously. She grabbed Mrs. Lin and asked anxiously. “Mother, how is it? Is Xiao Mei already…”

Lin Shuran couldn’t bring herself to say the word ‘dead’. After all, Xiao Mei had been her maidservant for many years. At the thought that she had already passed away, Lin Shuran felt terrible.

Mrs. Lin nodded. “She’s gone.”

Lin Shuran’s eyes turned red. “Mother, you must bury Xiao Mei well.”

If it was her tonight, she would be the one to die.

…..

Mrs. Lin remembered that Liu Sanniang insisted on seeing Lin Shuran. She grabbed Lin Shuran’s hand and asked. “Did Miss Liu say anything to you? She wants to see you. I noticed that her expression was very cold, as if she wants to interrogate you.”

Lin Shuran bit her lip. “Mother, I don’t want to see her. She will definitely scold me.”

She avoided her mother’s gaze. At the thought of Liu Sanniang’s cold expression, she could not help but shiver.

In Lin Shuran’s eyes, Liu Sanniang was more terrifying than her strictest teacher.

Mrs. Lin thought of Liu Sanniang’s face and was also worried that Liu Sanniang would do something to Lin Shuran. She frowned and said, “I don’t want you to see her either, but if she wants to see you, we definitely won’t be able to stop her. There is something you don’t know. When she came with Mrs. Su today, she suddenly quickened her pace. When I saw the cut on your neck, I realized that she seemed to know that you were going to harm yourself.”

“Young Marquis Su even said that we are the ones who screwed up the plan. He pointed at me and scolded me.”

Recalling Su Yanyu’s tone at that time, Mrs. Lin was furious.

If Liu Sanniang insisted on meeting Lin Shuran, no one could stop her.

Lin Shuran became even more afraid. “Then, what should we do?”

Lin Shuran thought of what Liu Sanniang had given her and immediately broke down. She cried. “Mother, I don’t want to see her. She will definitely not let me off. She gave me something. Now, she will blame me for Xiao Mei’s death.”

Mrs. Lin frowned. “What did she give you? Why didn’t you tell us?”

Lin Shuran cried and said, “She gave me a talisman and said that if there was a dangerous situation, I could use it to protect myself. She even asked me to keep a knife under the pillow to boost my courage. I didn’t feel there was anything special about this talisman. I thought it was useless…”

Mrs. Lin had a complicated expression. She took the talisman from Lin Shuran. Was it because of this talisman?

Lin Shuran sobbed. “She said that this is a Heavenly Thunder Talisman that can save my life. I thought it was useless.”

Mrs. Lin handed the talisman to Lin Shuran. “Keep it well. Don’t worry. I’ll explain it to her. If she wants to blame someone, let her blame me.”

Lin Shuran nodded while crying. She held the talisman and thought to herself. Was this talisman really useful?’

Perhaps Liu Sanniang said that on purpose to coax her into becoming bait to lure the evil man out.

No matter how Lin Shuran convinced herself, she could not get rid of the guilt in her heart.

When Liu Sanniang gave her the talisman, she told her what to do. The best way to face fear was to defeat it. Otherwise, she would only become more and more afraid.

She didn’t know what was going on, but she just couldn’t face her fear, so she begged her parents to find a substitute.

However, she did not expect that the substitute would die so quickly.

The sky outside was already starting to turn bright.

When Mrs. Lin arrived at the main hall, Lin Ru frowned when he saw that Lin Shuran didn’t come with her.

Mrs. Lin looked guilty. She did not dare to look into Liu Sanniang’s eyes but said, “Miss Liu, Shuran already knows her mistake, but what happened is irreversible. Please forgive her. She’s just a little girl. She doesn’t have any ill intentions. She’s just too afraid.”

Mrs. Lin wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. “Not everyone is as tenacious and powerful as you. You know that Shuran was so afraid that she almost committed suicide during the day. If you didn’t save her in time, she would have been dead…”

Lin Ru frowned and looked at Mrs. Lin sternly. “What happened?”

Mrs. Lin did not dare to look at Lin Ru. She glanced at Liu Sanniang, begging her not to pursue the matter.

Liu Sanniang’s eyes were cold and penetrating. She said calmly, “Why didn’t Miss Lin give the talisman to the maidservant?”

No matter what Mrs. Lin said, Liu Sanniang was unmoved. She would not be affected by Mrs. Lin’s emotions. Under Liu Sanniang’s cold gaze, Mrs. Lin felt guilty. That was also something she did not want to think about.

Mrs. Lin avoided Liu Sanniang’s gaze and said, “She was probably too afraid and forgot. Yes, she forgot.”

Liu Sanniang looked at Mrs. Lin and asked coldly. “Did she forget or did she not want to give the talisman to the maidservant?”

Mrs. Lin quickly waved her hand and explained. “It’s not that she didn’t want to give it to her, but she forgot. She was too scared, so she forgot. Really.”

She actually knew very well that it was not the case.

Everyone was selfish. Mrs. Lin found someone to replace Lin Shuran, so it was not a surprise that Lin Shuran did not want to give the talisman to someone else.

Lin Ru frowned. He did not dare to think about that possibility because he was afraid that he would blame his daughter.

Liu Sanniang had already stood up and walked out without saying a word. Chu Yan held her hand while Su Yanyu glared at Lin Ru and Mrs. Lin before following behind.

Mrs. Lin looked anxious. Afraid that Liu Sanniang would go to the main courtyard to look for Lin Shuran, she quickly followed. She opened her mouth and was about to speak when she saw that Liu Sanniang was not walking in the direction of the main courtyard.

Seeing that Liu Sanniang was about to leave, Mrs. Lin opened her mouth again but did not say anything.

Liu Sanniang left the mansion and went away. Lin Ru followed her outside with mixed feelings.

Seeing Liu Sanniang and Su Yanyu get into the carriage, he gritted his teeth and said, “Miss Liu, it’s my daughter’s fault. Please forgive her..”
