C45 Confrontation

"Reporting to the old mistress, we are the doctors from the town." The two of them said with a trembling voice.

The Grand Lady nodded slightly and looked at Lin Ruo Yin. She said with a pained heart, "I want you to cure the wound on her face. No matter how much it costs, I will do it."

The cosmetician glanced at Lin Ruo Yin from the side and quickly bowed. "Old mistress, you don't have to be anxious. Miss's injury is not serious. As long as you apply some medicine for a few days, it will not leave a scar."

The Grand Lady nodded in satisfaction. She watched as the servants escorted Lin Ruo Xi away and left with her. When she passed by the door, she saw Xiao Bei and remembered what he had said in the study. She said to him, "You should follow me too."

Xiao Bei heard the doctor say that Lin Ruo Yin was fine and felt relieved. He said yes and followed the Grand Lady.

On the other side, Lan Xiu hurriedly went to the study and invited Lin Fu Cheng to the ancestral hall. Along the way, Lin Fu Cheng asked Lan Xiu several times about the reason, but Lan Xiu only shook her head.

When they finally arrived at the ancestral hall, Lin Fu Cheng walked closer and saw that the Grand Lady was sitting on a high seat, and the one kneeling on the ground was really Lin Ruo Xi.

In Lin Fu Cheng's impression, Lin Ruo Xi had always been sensible and obedient. She had not disappointed him either. She had grown more and more outstanding, and her character was also excellent. What kind of mistake had she committed that she had to come to the ancestral hall?

"Mother." Lin Fu Cheng stepped forward and bowed to the Grand Lady. He secretly glanced at Lin Ruo Xi who was kneeling beside him.

The Grand Lady nodded and said to Lin Fu Cheng, "I am old now, so I don't care anymore. Since you are Ruo Xi's father, I will leave this matter to you." As she spoke, she gestured to the seat beside her. Lin Fu Cheng walked over and sat down.

"Mother, what is going on?" Lin Fu Cheng asked the Grand Lady as soon as he sat down.

The Grand Lady glared at Lin Ruo Xi who was kneeling and said, "Ruo Xi, you should tell me yourself. I don't want to hear such dirty things from me."

Lin Fu Cheng vaguely felt that this matter was not small. He remembered that a servant came to find him and said that Lin Ruo Xi wanted to harm Lin Ruo Yin. Could it be…

"Ruo Xi, did you do anything to Ruo Yin?" Everyone in the Lin family knew that the Grand Lady doted on Ruo Yin the most.

If it was Ruo Yin, then Lin Fu Cheng wanted to protect Lin Ruo Xi. He was afraid that it would be difficult to do so in front of the Grand Lady.

Lin Ruo Xi no longer had the panic from before. She explained, "Father, I really don't know what happened. It seems that someone had planned this all out to lure me into the trap."

"Someone lured you into the trap?" Lin Fu Cheng also heard the meaning behind Lin Ruo Xi's words and asked anxiously, "What do you mean?"

Lin Ruo Xi lowered her head and wept. She shook her head and continued, "I don't know what happened either. Today, the doctor suddenly brought someone over and said that the cosmetician could cure my injuries. Of course, I was very happy. After dinner, my sister came to find me and we chatted together. But who would have thought that we would be knocked out. Then, what happened just now happened. I was in a daze at that time. Thinking about it now, it seemed like I was possessed. Father, I never thought of harming my sister. I don't know why my sister never came to visit me. Why did she come to find me tonight?"

What Lin Ruo Xi said naturally caused everyone to misunderstand and shift the focus to Lin Ruo Yin. And she succeeded because Lin Fu Cheng asked, "So you mean that if you were to be framed together with the doctor?"

"I don't dare to think that way. It's just that everything is too coincidental. But I believe that my sister won't do that." Lin Ruo Xi was very magnanimous and spoke up for Lin Ruo Yin.

If it were anyone else, they might have believed it, for example, Lin Fu Cheng. However, Grand Lady had seen it with her own eyes. It would be difficult for her to believe such words. She stared at Lin Ruo Xi below and asked, "Ruo Xi, your words are reasonable, but ask yourself, who would risk their own life to frame another person? If I had not arrived in time, Ruoyin would have been disfigured. Do you think she would be so stupid?"

Lin Ruo Xi's expression suddenly changed, and then she started to cry again, "Ancestor Grandmother, I know Ancestor Grandmother dotes on my sister, but I didn't say anything about it. It was related to my sister. Everything was just my guess."

Grand Lady stared at Lin Ruo Xi with a sharp gaze. She had underestimated this granddaughter of hers. She didn't expect her to be so powerful.

"Grand Lady, Master, I know the truth." Xiao Bei suddenly said.

He stood up and knelt beside Lin Ruo Xi.

Lin Ruo Xi saw the person who suddenly appeared and realized that something was wrong. She had already guessed that today's matter would fail because of the people around her. She hurriedly shouted to her father, "Father, this servant's words cannot be trusted. Who knows if he was ordered by someone to frame my daughter!"

"Eldest Miss, this servant has not said anything. Why are you so nervous, Eldest Miss? How would you know that what this servant said was against Eldest Miss?" Xiao Bei straightened his body and looked back at Lin Ruo Xi.

This woman had hurt Lin Ruo Yin. How could Xiao Bei let her escape so easily?

"You…" Lin Ruo Xi was careless and let this man take the upper hand. She regretted it, but it was too late for her to take back her words.

Lin Fu Cheng did not want this matter to get out of hand. Now that someone had stood up, he was a little dissatisfied with this servant. However, Grand Lady, who was beside him, looked at him with praise and smiled, encouraging him, "Xiao Bei, don't be afraid. Tell me everything you know."

With Grand Lady's support, Xiao Bei's confidence was instantly boosted. He quickly cupped his hands and said, "Yes."

After that, Xiao Bei told him everything he heard and saw outside Lin Ruo Xi's room. Then he turned to Lin Fu Cheng and said in a loud voice, "What this servant said is true. This matter was planned by Eldest Miss from the beginning. I hope Grand Lady and Master can give the Third Miss justice."

After Xiao Bei finished speaking, he bent down and lowered his head again, no longer speaking.

“Xiao Bei, get up.” Grand Lady said to Xiao Bei. After he stood up, she called him to her side and said to Lin Ruo Xi who was still kneeling on the ground, “Now, what else do you have to say?”

Lin Ruo Xi knew that she could not escape this time, so she did not retort. Instead, she smiled coldly and looked up at Grand Lady. She said, “Since Ancestor Grandmother has already determined that this was done by my granddaughter, is there any difference whether I admit it or not?”

“What do you mean? Do you think I can wrong you? I saw you stab Ruoyin with the dagger!” Grand Lady was furious after hearing Lin Ruo Xi’s words. She originally wanted to let her off lightly if she could admit her mistake. Unfortunately, she was stubborn and stubborn.
