The legitimate daughter of the marquis, Lin Ran, who had just experienced the loss of her mother and the only relative in her maternal family, was plotted against by her father and stepmother, but ...
In their eyes, Lin Meng was just trying to steal the mushrooms that Lin Rancai had picked.
Lin Meng saw Lin Weiguo and the others staring at her with dissatisfaction, and she felt terrible. She quickly explained:
"Uncle, aunt, it's not what you see."
But Shen Wenfang loved her daughter so much, how could she let her go?
"If it's not like this, then what is it like? If we hadn't happened to come over and see it, would you still want to continue bullying Ranran?"
As she said that, she hurried over and checked Lin Ran up and down. She was relieved to see that she was not injured, but she would not let Lin Meng go.
She pulled Lin Ran over and looked at Lin Meng coldly.
"Ranran, tell me honestly, is it Meng girl who wants to bully you?"
Lin Meng hurriedly looked at Lin Ran.
"Ranran, quickly explain to your uncle and auntie, I just saw you came back so late and was worried about you so I asked a few more questions, how could I bully you!"
As he said this, he looked at Lin Weiguo as if asking for help.
But Shen Wenfang looked unconvinced. She was not blind. She saw clearly how Lin Meng grabbed the basket just now. The wild vegetables and mushrooms scattered on the ground were evidence.
Even Lin Weiguo had a serious expression on his face, and obviously did not believe what she said.
Lin Ran would not speak up for her, and immediately told the truth:
"I don't know what's wrong with my cousin. She keeps asking me if I encountered anything in the mountains, otherwise why would I come back so late."
"I told you that it was because mushrooms were hard to find that I forgot the time, but my cousin just didn't believe me."
"I was worried you'd worry so I was in a hurry to go back, but my cousin just grabbed the basket and wouldn't let me go. I didn't know what she was trying to do, but then it ended like this."
After these words were spoken, Shen Wenfang and the others had no idea what Lin Meng was up to.
Maybe he was holding a grudge against them for not letting the scorekeeper play last night, so he wanted to cause trouble for Ranran.
Shen Wenfang glared at Lin Weiguo unhappily.
"Look at your wonderful niece!"
As he spoke, he pulled Lin Ran over, and the two of them quickly picked up the wild vegetables and mushrooms on the ground. Before leaving, Shen Wenfang warned Lin Meng.
"Meng girl, our family doesn't owe your family anything, and our Ranran owes them even less. If I see you doing anything bad to Ranran again, don't blame me for being rude!"
After saying that, he didn't care about Lin Weiguo and just pulled Lin Ran away.
