The Cold-Faced God of War's Favored Concubine Is Not to Be Tried

After Lin Xiuqing slowly fell asleep, Zuo Xuemei and Lin Shengyang returned to their own yard, closed the doors and windows, and ensured the privacy of their conversation. Zuo Xuemei's face was solemn. She sat at the table with her hands clenched, showing her inner tension and anxiety. Lin Shengyang stood in front of the window with his back to Zuo Xuemei, his eyes deep, as if he was thinking about the whole incident.

Zuo Xuemei was the first to break the silence, her voice trembling a little: "Master, what do you think about what Qing'er said?"

Lin Shengyang turned around, his expression serious and earnest. He walked to Zuo Xuemei, sat down, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Madam, do you believe that there are ghosts in this world? Humph, I don't believe it. Last night, everything in the storehouse was stolen, which is not a trivial matter. What's more coincidental is that our two daughters fainted at the same time that night. There must be some unknown secrets behind this."

Zuo Xuemei nodded in agreement, with an angry expression on her face: "The thieves must have been playing tricks to scare our daughter, making us mistakenly believe that all this was done by a non-existent "ghost". These thieves actually used such despicable means to harm Shu'er so miserably!"

Lin Shengyang was also angry: "How dare he! It would be bad enough if he stole from my Grand Tutor's Mansion, but he even pretended to be a ghost and ruined my Shu'er. You'd better not let me know who it is, otherwise..." Lin Shengyang's voice was like a sharp blade, as if even cutting the ghost into pieces would not relieve his hatred.

Zuo Xuemei clenched her hands, her eyes gleaming with determination: "Master, you are right. We must seek justice for our daughters and cannot let those thieves go unpunished." Suddenly, her expression became lost: "Master, Shu'er has become like this, please don't let outsiders know, otherwise her life will be over."

"Yes. Don't worry, I have already notified everyone. If anyone dares to spread a word about what happened last night, I will never let them off easily!"

Zuo Xuemei then let out a breath.

Lin Shengyang stood in front of the window and thought for a long time. Then he said to Zuo Xuemei with a serious look: "Madam, I have thought of a temporary solution. For safety reasons, I want to send Shu'er to a villa in the countryside to live for a while. We will tell others that she has caught a cold and needs to rest. In this way, even if Xiuqing wakes up, she will not know Yueshu's condition immediately, and she can avoid being further stimulated."

Zuo Xuemei's face changed when she heard this, and she said anxiously, "Master, Shu'er has just woken up, and she still needs our care and comfort. What if she gets frightened again in the country villa? I don't feel comfortable sending her to such a far place."

Lin Shengyang held Zuo Xuemei's hand tightly and said firmly, "Madam, I understand your feelings, but we must consider Shu'er's safety. What is happening in the mansion now is too strange, and we don't know what dangers are hidden behind it. Sending Shu'er to the country house can at least keep her away from these disturbances and be safer for the time being."

Zuo Xuemei's eyes flashed with hesitation. She was still worried about her daughter's safety: "But, after all, the country villa is not as safe as the mansion. If there is any accident, we won't be able to get there in time."

Lin Shengyang took a deep breath and said with a firm look: "Madam, I will arrange everything myself to ensure Shu'er's safety in the country villa. I will send people to protect her secretly to ensure that no one can hurt her. At the same time, I will visit her often to bring her our love and comfort."

He paused and continued, "Moreover, if we keep Shu'er in the mansion, if Xiuqing wakes up and learns the truth, her emotions may get even more out of control. At that time, we will not only have to face the crisis in the mansion, but also deal with Xiuqing's emotional problems. Sending Shu'er away temporarily is also to protect her from further harm. Perhaps, she will be fine in a few days if she rests in the countryside!"

Zuo Xuemei was silent for a while, and finally nodded: "I understand, Master. You are thinking about Shu'er's safety. Can you arrange for Doctor Gong to go with you? I just want Shu'er to come back to us as soon as possible."

Lin Shengyang hugged Zuo Xuemei tightly, his eyes full of tenderness and determination: "Don't worry, Madam. I will solve all this as soon as possible. We will find the best doctor to treat Shu'er. Let her come back to us as soon as possible."
