But Yang Yuanting only gave her a shushing gesture: "Don't say anything for now."

Yang Yuanting led the way and left, with Lin Sisi supporting Fang Huilan as they followed behind him.

Once they were a little further away, Yang Yuanting's originally calm face revealed a ferocious expression.

"I never imagined that the weak girl in your family, whom everyone bullied, could actually possess such abilities. If only I had known we'd need her someday…sigh…"

Before he could finish speaking, he let out a long sigh, "It's a pity that time can't be turned back. Otherwise, when you were in the Lin family, you should have treated her better."

Fang Huilan felt a little regretful. "Who knew that brat would become so amazing? Back then, she was so weak and frail, like she could die at any moment. She wasn't very bright either. I thought she wouldn't learn anything from reading a couple of medical books. Who knew she would suddenly become a miracle doctor? Could it be that she was just pretending to be stupid all along?"

In fact, she should have realized this as soon as Lin Qingyan suddenly changed.

That girl has been lying low in the Lin family for over a decade, all to accumulate power and take revenge on them.

"It's too late to say anything now," Yang Yuanting said. "It seems she hates you all the way through, and I doubt she'll forgive you no matter what you do."

So what other methods could he use to get close to Lin Qingyan?

He suddenly thought of the old woman next to Lin Qingyan.

Although the old woman is very skilled in martial arts, she seems to have some mental issues. If we can trick her, we might as well steal something useful from Lin Qingyan.

But he couldn't do it himself; he had to leave it to Fang Huilan or Lin Sisi to avoid arousing Lin Qingyan's suspicion and thus exposing his true identity.

In the clinic

After the three people left, Lin Qingyan instructed her grandmother, "Grandma, remember, those three are not good people. If you see them outside, don't accept anything they offer you, and stay far away from them. Or just take action and beat them far away."

Grandma Lin nodded and hummed in agreement, while rubbing her arm with a somewhat savage expression: "I'd rather choose the second option."

"Okay, Mother-in-law. Consider it practice for you."

On the other side

Yang Yuanting and Fang Huilan entrusted the task of seducing Granny Lin to Lin Sisi.

Lin Sisi really didn't want to take on this task because she was afraid that when she got close to Granny Lin, the mentally unstable old woman would grab her and beat her up without a second thought.

“Dad, Mom. I’ve been here for quite a while now. Since there’s no way to undo what happened to Guanghui, I think I should go back to the military region. I’ve been away for so long, and no one has been taking care of Mingzhou. I’m afraid he won’t be used to it.”

Fang Huilan did not give her a chance to escape.

“Mingzhou is a grown man, he should be able to take care of himself. If you go back two days later, will she be impatient? Your father and I can’t stay here tonight, we have to go to the county guesthouse, and tomorrow we have to go to the city to collect Guanghui’s body and handle some things after his death. We won’t be able to come here for the next two days. You try to see if you can find a breakthrough with that old woman, just let you try with that old woman.”

Lin Sisi didn't want to lose her two powerful backers, so she could only nod in agreement.

The next day, Lin Qingyan was treating villagers at the clinic, while Grandma Lin was playing in the mud by the fields not far from the clinic.

Lin Sisi walked over with a few candies, smiling as she said to Grandma Lin, "Hello Grandma, I have some candy here, would you like some?"

When Grandma Lin heard her voice, she looked up and stared at her intently, without saying a word for the time being.

Seeing that she didn't make a move to hit her, but instead looked at her quietly, Lin Sisi thought she probably wanted the candy in her hand.

She stretched her hand out to Grandma Lin: "Grandma, look, so much candy! Do you want some?"

"Me? I'd eat your mother's head!"

Grandma Lin waved her hand and smeared a large lump of mud onto Lin Sisi's face.

The reason we didn't take any action just now was because we were digging mud into the ground.

Lin Sisi felt her entire face was covered by a thick layer of mud. Grandma Lin's force was too great, and she fell backward onto the ground with a thud.

Her nostrils and mouth were also blocked, making it difficult for her to breathe.

She frantically scraped the mud off her face, then glared angrily at Granny Lin.

"You old hag, you don't know what's good for you. I kindly gave you candy, and you smeared me with mud instead."

All the candy in her hand spilled on the ground, but Grandma Lin didn't even glance at it.

"The girl said that you should never accept things from bad people."

Grandma Lin threw a few clods of mud at Lin Sisi before running back to the clinic to ask Lin Qingyan for praise.

“Girl, the old woman and the man didn’t come yesterday, but that little bastard did. She wanted to give me candy, but I didn’t take it and smeared mud all over her face.”

Lin Qingyan nodded: "Mother-in-law, you did a good job. You're not easily fooled. I guess she won't come near you again in the future."

Grandma Lin was overjoyed, wanting to hear even better praise.

He discussed it with Lin Qingyan, "Hey girl, could you say I'm really smart and great?"

"Of course, Mother-in-law, you have a keen eye for spotting wickedness. You're so smart, so capable, so decisive, so amazing!"

Lin Qingyan gave her two thumbs up.

Grandma Lin immediately burst into laughter, then covered her face.

"Oh my, girl, you're praising your mother-in-law so much, I'm almost embarrassed."

Lin Qingyan: "..."

Are there times when you feel embarrassed?

Grandma Lin laughed for a while, then turned to Lin Qingyan and said, "Girl, your praise is so sweet. I love hearing you praise me. Could you praise me a few more times?"

Lin Qingyan: "..."

Aren't you embarrassed?

In order to continue making Grandma Lin happy, she naturally had to go along with Grandma Lin's wishes.

"Oh my, my mother-in-law has so many good qualities. She's a highly skilled martial artist, incredibly adept at martial arts. She's also clever and obedient, loved by everyone, so much so that flowers bloom for her and cars get flat tires just by looking at her..."

Grandma Lin was overjoyed to hear Lin Qingyan's praise.

"Girl, Grandma is happy, Grandma is going out to play."

"Okay, Mother-in-law."

Grandma Lin practically skipped and hopped as she ran out, showing how happy she was.
