After being sentenced to death, she came to her senses.

Seeing that Lin Cuilan and the old lady had left, the others looked at each other and had no choice but to disperse as well. Fang Xiaoran did not intend to stay any longer and turned to leave. As she left, she glanced at Xue Zhiming with her cold eyes, a hint of murderous intent in them.

When Fang Xiaoran's cold gaze swept over him, Xue Zhiming felt a chill run down his spine, and a strange sense of danger surged up. However, he didn't have time to think about it and immediately rushed to Madam Lin's residence.

This time, Madam Lin's illness came on suddenly and she fainted. Fortunately, she was discovered by the people of the Lin family and a doctor was called in time to treat her. At the same time, the nanny who served her rushed to Yuexian Residence to get the medicine she usually used, but unfortunately, it did not help much after taking it.

After examining her, the doctor shook his head, saying that Madam Lin's health had been damaged and she needed to take medication daily to alleviate the damage. This time, the situation was too dangerous, and she almost lost her life. Fortunately, a strange aura protected her heart meridian.

Those who don't know martial arts naturally wouldn't know that it was Fang Xiaoran transferring a stream of internal energy to protect Old Madam Lin's heart meridian; otherwise, the Lin family might have already prepared for a funeral.

Fang Xiaoran looked indifferently at the dying Madam Lin on the hospital bed. Originally, she could have used the doctor's medical kit to treat her, but now she had no intention of doing so at all.

After all, Fang Yunyao's current predicament was originally aimed at her. Old Madam Lin deliberately appeared at a specific location to gain her sympathy and trick her into getting the medicine, but what awaited her was utter disgrace.

If she hadn't known about the Three Lives of the Great Dream, it's unimaginable what would have happened to her after being bewitched. Compared to Fang Yunyao, her situation would have been even more difficult.

Therefore, she wouldn't be so kind as to save Old Madam Lin. Even if Old Madam Lin wasn't the culprit who plotted against her, she was still an accomplice and didn't deserve any sympathy.

The birthday banquet was still ongoing. Old Madam Lin was unwell and unable to appear, but the Lin family needed to entertain the guests and couldn't take care of Old Madam Lin for the time being. Therefore, only Lin Cuilan and others were there to look after her.

After the doctor administered acupuncture, her condition improved slightly. After taking some medicine, Madam Lin gradually regained consciousness. Although she was blind and could not see what was in front of her, blind people are particularly sensitive to the outside world and could vaguely sense that there were people around her.

"What's wrong with me?" Old Madam Lin tried to get up, and the old lady quickly stepped forward to help her sit up, holding her hand affectionately. "Old sister, you're finally awake! You scared everyone in the room. Do you feel unwell anywhere?"

"Don't you know about my illness? I'm practically half-buried, and I could pass away at any moment. There's nothing to worry about for me. But you, with your family thriving, are meant to enjoy your retirement."

After exchanging pleasantries, the old lady was still troubled by Fang Yunyao's matter. This matter had to be resolved as soon as possible. If it dragged on, it might spread, and then there would be no chance to salvage the situation.

So the old lady first glanced at the others, and finally fixed her gaze on Lin Cuilan, and said with a smile, "Cuilan, your mother and I haven't seen each other for a long time, and we have a lot to talk about. You go ahead and do your work."

Lin Cuilan naturally understood the old lady's intention. At this time, it was not good to offend her. After all, they would be family in the future, and they still had to maintain appearances.

"Alright, you two chat. We'll stay outside. Feel free to call me anytime if you need anything." Lin Cuilan left with her entourage, and Fang Xiaoran didn't linger either, turning around and leaving with them.

Once outside, Lin Cuilan glanced at Fang Xiaoran before smiling and saying, "Xiaoran, please forgive me for what happened this time. Zhiming isn't that kind of person. It's just that your fourth sister was too forward. I know that although our Xue family isn't exactly a high-ranking family, we're still a decent choice for ordinary people. But we're all sisters, how could you do something so outrageous to your future brother-in-law? Don't worry, I will definitely make your father give us and you an explanation."

These words were clearly intended to draw Fang Xiaoran into their camp. After all, it was the Fang family who would lose face in this situation. Lin Cuilan believed that as long as Fang Xiaoran was smart enough, she should know whose side to stand on in this matter.

Unfortunately, Fang Xiaoran was not the kind of girl who could be manipulated by others. She knew very well what Lin Cuilan was planning, so she smiled slightly and said, "This is a matter between Fourth Sister and your Xue family. What does it have to do with me? I am just the youngest girl in the family. I cannot make decisions for my elder sister."

She spoke politely, but her meaning was clear—she would not participate in this matter and did not want to be involved.

Upon hearing this, Lin Cuilan's face immediately darkened. She hadn't expected Fang Xiaoran to be so disrespectful, directly rejecting her attempt to win her over.

"We're all family, why be so formal?" Lin Cuilan said, forcing a smile.

Fang Xiaoran remained unmoved and replied with a smile, "Even close brothers should keep clear accounts. She is her, and I am me. Naturally, we cannot be compared."

After saying that, she turned and left.

Watching her retreating figure, Lin Cuilan cursed the ungrateful girl in her heart. At the same time, she was also confused. She turned around and glared at Xue Zhiming, asking in a low voice, "What exactly happened? Why was it that girl who went in?"

Xue Zhiming also expressed his doubts, "I don't know either. I only realized something was wrong after I came in, but it was too late. You came too fast, and we didn't have a chance to hide."

"According to the plan, she should have been led to Yuexian Residence first, and then Xiao Chun would have pushed her inside. As soon as she smelled the fragrance inside, she would have surrendered. Where did things go wrong?" Lin Cuilan muttered to herself, then suddenly turned around and glared angrily at Xiao Chun standing behind her.

Stared at by those icy eyes, Xiao Chun felt a chill run down her spine and hurriedly explained, "The situation was urgent at the time, and I didn't see clearly who it was. I thought that only the sixth young lady of the Fang family would be at Yuexian Residence at that time, who would have thought it would be the fourth young lady..."

It's understandable that they couldn't figure it out. This discrepancy arose entirely because Fang Xiaoran arrived early, making it impossible for Xiao Cheng to spot her. By the time Xiao Cheng arrived, he naturally only encountered Fang Yunyao following behind.

Fang Yunyao's falling into the trap this time was simply due to bad luck.

"Fine, whoever it is, as long as she's a woman from the Fang family, we still have a chance." Lin Cuilan suddenly pursed her lips, her expression cold and ruthless.

With such a misfortune befalling the Lin family, Fang Xiaoran had no intention of lingering. She had only come along as a side trip with the old lady, and whether she stayed or not was of no concern to anyone. As she stepped out of the courtyard and passed through the artificial hill, she sensed someone behind her. She wasn't surprised, but simply stopped and asked with interest, "I didn't expect you to come to the Lin family as well?"
