Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The moment someone heard the commotion, they came out to ask Aunt Liu what was going on. She promptly told them what had happened. Everyone’s impression of Lin Xue and Yu Niang immediately worsened.

When Yu Niang chased after her, she was met with everyone’s strange gazes. However, she did not think too much about it and continued to chase after Lin Ran. She was both regretful and angry.

She regretted letting Lin Ran stay in the woodshed after listening to Lin Xue. She was angry that Lin Ran was insensible and wanted to go home without saying anything.

It was not safe for a young lady like her to live alone at the foot of the mountain. If others found out, who knew what they would say about her, let alone her own man?

If her man found out that Lin Ran went back to live alone because of her, he might beat her up.

Lin Ming wanted to chase Lin Ran back, but he knew the root of the problem. Therefore, he decided to settle his sister’s matter first before bringing Lin Ran back.

After Yu Niang went after Lin Ran, Lin Ming walked straight to his sister’s room. He did not enter the room but stood at the door and looked at her coldly.

“What are you doing?” Lin Xue was initially happy. When she saw her brother standing at the door looking at her coldly, she was shocked.

“Xue, how did you become like this?” Lin Ming looked at Lin Xue with disappointment. He never thought that his cute and obedient sister would become a different person.

“What are you talking about? How have I changed? I haven’t changed at all.” Lin Xue looked at Lin Ming in confusion. She had always disliked Lin Ran and it had always been this way.

“Is it really the same?” Lin Ming looked deeply at Lin Xue.

In fact, he had already felt the change in his sister. However, he did not think much about it at the time. He simply assumed the change in her sister’s attitude was just due to age.

Even Lin Ming was changing all the time. He had gradually grown more sensible, mature, and responsible.

He did not expect his sister to become so completely vicious.

“What are you trying to say?” Lin Xue was losing her patience. She did not want to discuss this with Lin Ming. Whether she changed or not, she was still her.

“Xue, why did you force Mother to let Ran stay in the woodshed? Do you hate Ran that much? She’s your cousin and not your enemy.”

“I knew you were saying this for her sake. Why? Is she your only sister? What about me? You only know how to feel sorry for her. Why don’t you feel sorry for me? I’m so seriously injured that I can only lie in bed without daring to move, but you haven’t shown me any concern. But what about her? She only knelt in the ancestral hall for three days, and your heart is already aching. Who is your biological sister anyway?”

“Xue, in my eyes, you are the same as Ran. You are both like sisters to me.” Lin Ming’s face was full of pain. He seemed to understand the reason for Lin Xue’s change.

When he was in school, he had heard from his classmates that a woman’s jealousy was terrifying. At that time, he only smiled when he heard that, thinking that his classmates were exaggerating. Until today, he finally understood how terrifying this jealousy was.

Previously, before Ran moved in, he only had Xue as his sister, so he naturally prioritized her. When Ran moved in, everyone thought that she might have trouble acclimating especially since her parents were deceased, so they paid her more attention. This was completely reasonable.

Lin Ming did not expect that his concern for Lin Ran had made Lin Xue jealous and made her change so much.
