So what if I'm useless? I'll become a saint!

Ling Jiurong witnessed Ling Xiaofu's tragic end and felt a chill in her heart.

She recalled her elder brother's previous act of confining her, and it suddenly dawned on her that it was actually her elder brother who was protecting her!

Even if they are close brothers and sisters, no one can escape punishment once the family’s interests and rules are involved.

She had drugged Ling Jiuan before. If the truth came to light, her fate would not be much better than Ling Xiaofu's.

Thinking of this, Ling Jiurong couldn't help but look at Ling Jiuan, with a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

She cursed inwardly.

"This disaster star! Why does he always cause so much trouble?!"

However, she did not dare to show any dissatisfaction or resentment on the surface.

After the matter was settled, Ling Changfeng finally looked at Ling Jiuan.

"Jiuan, you have been wronged today."

Ling Jiuan shook his head and responded calmly.

"It doesn't matter, as long as the truth comes out."

Mrs. Lan was filled with hatred, but she still had a smile on her face.

"What are you talking about? I was trying to clear your suspicion before."

This bitch is so lucky!

Ling Jiuan ignored Mrs. Lan's hypocrisy. He just bowed to Ling Changfeng, expressed his gratitude, and turned away.

As Ling Jiuan walked out of Madam Lan's yard, he heard hurried footsteps behind him.

She looked back and saw Ling Jiurong chasing after her, panting.

"Ling Jiuan, wait!"

Ling Jiurong called her, with a complicated look on her face.

Ling Jiuan stopped and looked at her indifferently.

"What's up?"

Ling Jiurong bit her lip, seeming to find it difficult to speak.

But after a moment, she finally mustered up the courage to speak.

"I...I drugged you before. It was my fault. I hope you can forgive me."

If he doesn't bow his head, he will probably be expelled from the Ling family.

When Ling Jiuan heard this, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

She looked at Ling Jiurong coldly.

"You're wrong? You're wrong for treating the interests of your family as a joke, and you shouldn't treat other people's lives as toys in your hands. If you really want to apologize, prove it with your actions."

After saying that, Ling Jiuan turned and left, leaving Ling Jiurong standing there in a daze.

It was not until they walked away that Liu Zhu could not help but speak, with a hint of confusion and regret in his tone.

"Master, the Fourth Miss is your biological sister after all. We had such a good opportunity just now to repair our relationship. Why did you..."

Ling Jiuan interrupted her directly.

"Liu Zhu, I know that my elder brother wants to see us sisters get along. However, if you are not stupid, you should know that her apology is not sincere. In this case, what difference does it make whether I forgive her or not? In her heart, she will still hate me."

Liu Zhu was speechless for a moment when he heard this.

She looked at Ling Jiuan's determined and indifferent back, and a feeling of emotion welled up in her heart.

She understood that the pain and helplessness in her master's heart were much greater than she had imagined.

In this family full of power and interests, the friendship between sisters seems to become insignificant.

Liuying glanced at Liuzhu, her tone full of helplessness.

"It's not our master who can't figure it out, it's the fourth young lady who can't figure it out. Over the years, the fourth young lady has always felt that it was our master who killed the lady. To put it bluntly, if the fourth young lady could really figure it out, there wouldn't be so many problems between the sisters."

Liu Zhu couldn't help but feel deeply moved when he heard this.

"Yes, the master has always been the best. She never cares about personal gains and losses, and always thinks about the family and the overall situation. However, some people always don't understand her, and even misunderstand her. It's really heartbreaking."

The two looked at each other and saw the helplessness and heartache in each other's eyes.

They knew that their master had endured too much pressure and grievances in this family.

But they also believe that one day, everything will get better.

When Ling Jiuan returned to Jiuan Hall, he felt exhausted both physically and mentally.

Competing with those women is more tiring than fighting them.

She sighed helplessly and sat down on the chair.

The next moment, a fire fox jumped into her arms.

It has soft fur and lively eyes, and looks very cute.

When Ling Jiuan saw Lingling, she felt better. She smiled and touched Lingling's head.

"Lingling, how do you feel today? Have you been obedient?"

The little guy squeaked twice, obviously in a good mood.

It licked Ling Jiuan's hand with its soft little tongue, as if to say, "Master, I was very good today!"

When Ling Jiuan looked at Lingling's lovely appearance, the fatigue in his heart dissipated a little.

She hugged Lingling and spoke softly.

"Okay, Lingling, come and rest with me. I'm really exhausted today."

After saying that, she closed her eyes and enjoyed this rare moment of peace and quiet.

Lingling also lay obediently in her arms, accompanying her to rest.

When Liuzhu and Liuying came back, they found Ling Jiuan had fallen asleep.

She was lying on a chair, holding the fire fox pet in her arms. The little guy was also curled up in a ball, seemingly sleeping as well.

The two smiled at each other, walked over quietly, and covered Ling Jiuan and the little guy with a quilt.

Liu Zhu said softly.

"The master is really exhausted today, let her have a good rest."

Liuying also nodded.

After they covered themselves with the quilt, they tiptoed out and closed the door.

In Madam Lan's yard, everyone had dispersed, leaving only Ling Changfeng and Madam Lan.

Ling Changfeng glanced at Madam Lan, his tone filled with unquestionable majesty.

"In the future, don't arrange this kind of occasions for Jiuan. What she needs is to practice in peace, not to get involved in these family disputes."

Madam Lan gritted her teeth, although she was unwilling in her heart.

"Yes, master."

She knew that Ling Changfeng's words could not be disobeyed.

Ling Changfeng sighed, seeming tired of all the disputes in the family.

He waved his hand.

"I have something else to do, so I'll go to the study first. You take care of the things in the yard and don't let these trivial matters disturb Jiu'an again."

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Madam Lan alone.

Mrs. Lan looked at Ling Changfeng's back, with a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

Not long after Ling Changfeng left, Ling Jiuze came to Madam Lan's yard.

As soon as he entered the door, Mrs. Lan immediately came to greet him, her eyes full of worry.

"Jiuzawa, how are your injuries?"

she asked anxiously, carefully examining her son's face and figure, fearing that something was wrong with him.

Seeing this, Ling Jiuze hurried to comfort his mother.

"Don't worry, mother. My injuries have healed a lot. The doctor said that I will be fully recovered after a few more days of rest."

Mrs. Lan felt relieved when she heard this, but she still couldn't help but give instructions.

"You must rest well and don't let your wound worsen. I will do my best to handle the family affairs so that you don't have to worry."
