The people on Lin Ran’s side wavered again after Lin Xue finished speaking

Seeing everyone’s expressions, Lin Xue was a little proud. Just as she was about to strike Lin Ran while she was down, she heard a roar, “Who said alcohol can’t save people?”

Accompanied by the voice, a few people walked in from outside the ancestral hall. They were the doctor Yu Niang had invited to the village, Yu Niang, and the sick Lin Ming.

Lin Xue’s face turned dark when she saw the three of them, but she quickly composed herself and ran to Yu Niang. She complained, “Mother, why did you bring my older brother here? He is still sick. How could you let him go out?”

Yu Niang did not say anything, but Lin Ming glared at Lin Xue unhappily and said, “If I didn’t come over, are you going to try and kill Ran?”

“I’m doing this for you and to protect our village’s reputation.”

“Shut up!” Lin Ming roared angrily. He had always doted on his sister, but he did not expect that his indulgence would make her such an ingrate. Not only was she vicious, but she even ignored his life to deal with Lin Ran.

If Lin Ran had not saved him, he might have died.

“Mother, look at how fierce he is!” Lin Xue complained to Yu Niang.

Yu Niang looked at her daughter with mixed feelings. The doctor had just said that it was fortunate that her son’s fever had subsided. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

After asking, she found out that Lin Ran had used alcohol to bring down his fever.

Now, Lin Xue wanted to use this matter to attack Lin Ran and even take her life. She did not know what to say for a moment.

After all, she had given birth to her daughter herself and doted on her for so many years, so she looked at her son and said, “She’s your sister. Don’t be so harsh on her.”

“Mother!” Lin Ming was a little annoyed. His mother was being so unreasonable.

However, now was not the time to settle this and he did not have the energy to argue with his sister. Instead, he walked up to the patriarch and said, “I specially came to thank Ran. It’s all thanks to Ran that I got saved. If she hadn’t wiped my body with wine to dissipate the heat, my fever would have killed me.”

“Can that wine really reduce the fever?” Someone asked in disbelief.

The doctor glanced at the person who asked the question and said, “Why not? It’s just that very few people know about it and don’t know how to use it.”

Everyone believed the doctor’s words because this doctor’s medical skills were good. He was very famous in town and could treat lots of unusual illnesses that other doctors could not treat.

After the doctor finished speaking, Lin Ming said to the patriarch, “It’s not wrong for Ran to treat someone. Please let her go on account that she has saved me.”

When Lin Xue heard this, she said loudly again, “No, she ruined the reputation of the village. How can we let her off? Don’t listen to my brother’s nonsense. I suspect they are colluding in order to prevent Lin Ran from getting drowned. She is an immoral woman and has taken off a man’s clothes in public, so she has to be drowned. If you let this slide, other people in the village might follow in her example.”

Lin Xue made up her mind. She had to get Lin Ran drowned today. Not only was Lin Ran good-looking, but she was also better than her in every aspect. She was clearly just her cousin, but her parents and brother doted on her even more. Once Lin Ran was dead, her parents’ and brother’s love would belong to her alone.
