Lin Qingran's heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively gripped the handbag containing the medicine.

"Sister, it's me."

Bo Ye stepped forward with a worried expression and eagerly took Lin Qingran's hand.

Lin Qingran's tense nerves relaxed slightly. "Why did you come along too? Did they suspect anything?"

"They're too busy trying to find out the truth from you to care where I am. I'm worried about you."

His gaze was sharp as he carefully examined her from head to toe.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Lin Qingran was unharmed, but soon his already furrowed brows furrowed even more deeply.

"The Lin family is shameless! They actually risked putting peanut powder in your soup just to test your true identity!"

They knew perfectly well that Lin Qingran was allergic to peanuts and couldn't even touch them—it could be fatal—yet they still made that choice.

Do they only want Lin Qingran to die?

"Alright, alright, I'm fine now." Lin Qingran smiled helplessly.

Bo Ye was still unwilling to accept it, feeling that Lin Qingran was too kind-hearted.

"If it were me, I would have overturned the table! How could they treat you like this?"

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. "No way, I'm going to go beat that bastard surnamed Fu up right now!"

"Why is this child getting more and more excited as he talks?" Lin Qingran pulled Bo Ye back, her face serious.

"Since you witnessed them plotting against me, you should know that the Lin family is not easy to deal with. You haven't even gotten your master's wife's painting back yet, and you're already acting so impulsively. What will you do when something serious happens in the future?"

Bo Ye, who had been scolded by Lin Qingran, hung his head, looking just like a puppy that had made a mistake and been scolded by its owner.

“Even I know you’re allergic to peanuts, but they…”

Susukino said, sounding aggrieved, "Anyway, I'm just angry."

"I know, don't worry, I won't let them off easily either." A cold glint flashed in Lin Qingran's eyes.

Originally, she only wanted to accompany Lingdang as she grew up and did not want to have any further involvement with the Lin family and Fu Xiuheng, but they just wouldn't let her go.

Since that's the case, let's settle both the old and new scores together.

Susukino immediately became excited, her eyes sparkling.

"Sister, what are you planning to do? If you ask me, I'd say just stuff Fu Xiuheng in a sack, beat him up, and then dump him on a deserted mountain."

Lin Qingran was both amused and exasperated. "If only it were that simple."

After being with Fu Xiuheng for five years, doesn't she understand him at all?

A person who won't shed a tear until they see the coffin.

However, Lin Qingran always felt that Fu Xiuheng's attitude towards Lin Yuyan was strange, and the two seemed to no longer have the deep affection they once shared.

Perhaps only when he is "alive" can he truly see that they are a pair of star-crossed lovers who cannot be together. When he is gone, this fig leaf is torn off, and the two who have gone through countless hardships to finally be together fall apart!

But if there's no longer any affection, why did Fu Xiuheng, who always keeps his word, cut off all contact with Lin Yuyan?

This is not like his personality.

Another point of doubt is that if he were to die, it would be a good thing for both the Lin family and Fu Xiuheng. Why would they test him in every way?

Something else must have happened in the last two years that no one knows about...

At this moment, the atmosphere between the Lin family downstairs and Fu Xiuheng was extremely tense.

Lin Qingran did not have an allergic reaction, which surprised everyone.

Lin Yuyan was unwilling to accept this outcome and said resentfully, "Let's see how she escapes this time. Once we confirm her identity, we can..."

Fu Xiuheng sat to the side, his face expressionless, but his mind was elsewhere.

He didn't know why, but ever since Lin Qingran left, he had always felt uneasy.

He felt as if he had lost something important, but he didn't know what it was.

"Brother Xiuheng, what are you thinking about? Are you worried about Miss Jiang?" Lin Yuyan looked at Fu Xiuheng, her tone teasing, but her expression was very serious.

Fu Xiuheng came to his senses, looked at the Lin family, and shook his head.

"How could that be? Just a tutor." His voice was indifferent, as if he wasn't interested in the matter at all.

The Lin family looked at Fu Xiuheng with some dissatisfaction.

He felt that Fu Xiuheng wasn't taking this matter seriously enough, since it concerned their interests.

"Xiu Heng, don't forget what our purpose is. If we can't confirm Jiang Jiuge's true identity, our two families will face endless troubles." Zhou Lan's voice carried a hint of threat.

Fu Xiuheng looked at the Lin family members, a hint of disgust flashing in his eyes.

He knew the Lin family's purpose, and he also knew that they would stop at nothing to achieve it.

However, he could not disobey the Lin family's orders, because they still had leverage over him...

"I understand." Fu Xiuheng's voice was indifferent; he didn't want to say anything more to the Lin family.

upstairs.

"There's no such thing as guarding against thieves for a thousand days. It seems that when necessary, we must take the initiative to act," Lin Qingran said.

Susukino nodded, but his heart was filled with worry.

“Sister is right, but the Lin family and Fu Xiuheng are treacherous, and I’m afraid it will take some time to make them give up testing you.”

Lin Qingran knew all too well that accomplishing this was no easy task, but sometimes, they could try a different approach.

If they refuse to give up, then find out why they refuse to give up, and take this opportunity to create some chaos for them, so that they are too busy to take care of themselves.

Lin Qingran beckoned to Bo Ye and whispered something in his ear.

Bo Ye's eyes lit up. "Alright, let's make them suffer a bit."

Lin Qingran sneered, "Only when you fall down will you know the pain."

She slowly stood up. "We've been delayed for too long. Let's go and see what the Lin family is up to now."

Susukino immediately followed.

Just as I stepped out of the restroom, I heard Fu Xiuheng's voice asking me something from a distance down the corridor.

"Have you seen where Teacher Jiang went?"

"They're like a persistent ghost," Bo Ye cursed under his breath.

Lin Qingran smiled without saying a word, then turned around to tell Bo Ye to calm down, but Bo Ye was so focused on cursing that he bumped into her.

Lin Qingran stumbled and fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Bo Ye reached out in time and caught Lin Qingran, preventing her from falling to the ground.

"Sister, are you alright?" Bo Ye looked still shaken.

"fine."

Hearing the commotion, Fu Xiuheng rushed over and happened to witness Bo Ye tightly embracing Lin Qingran.

"What are you doing?"
