Unless someone came, she would rest in the metaphysical medical hall.

“I’m glad that you’re fine!” Lin Ming sized up Lin Ran. Seeing that she was in good spirits, he was relieved.

“Let’s go home.”

Lin Ran nodded and followed Lin Ming home.

Lin Xue was seriously injured and was lying on the bed. When she heard Lin Ran talking to her mother in the courtyard, she was instantly unhappy and cried out in pain.

When Yu Niang saw Lin Ran return, she was about to say a few words of concern. The moment she heard her daughter cry out in pain, she quickly turned around to return to her room.

Lin Ming noticed his mother’s actions and was afraid that Lin Ran might feel upset. He whispered to her, “Ran, don’t worry. My mother still cares about you.”

Lin Ran smiled and did not say anything. She knew very well what kind of person her aunt was. Yes, she usually treated her well. It was solely because Lin Ran was sweet and diligent and knew how to behave.

Now that Lin Xue was beaten up because of Lin Ran, it was impossible to say that Yu Niang did not have any resentment in her heart. People were biased. Even if Lin Ran was Yu Niang’s biological daughter, it was impossible for Yu Niang to be fair. Moreover, Lin Ran was only her niece.

Lin Xue threw a tantrum in the room, and it took Yu Niang a long time to appease her.

After comforting her daughter, Yu Niang walked out of the house tiredly. When she saw Lin Ran, she was a little unhappy. At this moment, Lin Ming gave Lin Ran an egg and asked her to cook it for herself.

Yu Niang was instantly unhappy. She said loudly, “Ming, that egg is for your sister. She’s seriously injured. She needs nourishment.”

Lin Ran was stunned. She glanced at Yu Niang and saw that she was unhappy. She retracted her hand and said, “Auntie is right. You should save the egg for her.”

“It’s fine. I’ll buy more.”

If it were any other time, Yu Niang would only be happy to see Lin Ming treat Lin Ran well. Today, for some reason, when she heard her son’s words, she found them jarring. She said bluntly, “What do you mean by buying more? Do we look rich? Previously, you were sick, and now your sister is injured. We have already spent a few taels of silver. Do you think we still have money?”

“Mother, why are you saying this? If we don’t have money, I can just earn more. I’ve recovered from my illness now. I can make money by copying some books.”

Seeing that the mother and son were arguing, Lin Ran said, “Stop talking. I don’t want to eat this egg anymore.”

Lin Ming did not listen to Lin Ran and stuffed the egg into her hand. He turned to his mother and said, “Mother, Ran has been kneeling in the ancestral hall for three days. She needs nourishment as well.”

Yu Niang parted her lips and wanted to say something, but when she met her son’s unquestionable gaze, she could only swallow the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

Lin Xue had been listening to the people in the courtyard. When she heard that her mother would not let Lin Ran eat eggs, she was quite happy and a little proud.

However, her brother did not listen to her mother and insisted on letting Lin Ran eat it. He even used kneeling in the ancestral hall for three days as an excuse. Kneeling in the ancestral hall for three days was nothing and she should kneel to death altogether.

No, she could not let Lin Ran snatch her food. Even if Lin Xue had to throw it away, she could not let Lin Ran eat it. For this, Lin Xue shouted again, “Mother, it hurts. It hurts so much. Mother, Mother, am I going to die?”

Lin Ran knew that Lin Xue was pretending. As for Lin Xue’s motive, she had an inkling about what she wanted.

Sure enough, Lin Xue first coaxed Yu Niang into agreeing not to give Lin Ran eggs. She then said to Yu Niang, “Mother, I don’t want to see her. Send her to the woodshed tonight.”
