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 ...
"If there's something wrong with the bracelet's origins, our whole family will be in trouble, so you must remember to keep it a secret!"
Everyone's expressions straightened when they heard this, and they immediately nodded in assurance.
Only Wang Zhaodi couldn't help but mutter:
"Why? We, the second branch, didn't get any benefits, and we still have to bear the risk for my younger sister."
Just as Shen Wenfang was about to speak, Lin Laoer spoke first.
"If you don't want to, you can hide back at your parents' house. That way, even if something happens, you won't be implicated."
He offered his suggestions sincerely.
But Wang Zhaodi thought that Lin Laoer was threatening her again, her face turned red and then pale, and finally she gritted her teeth and kept silent.
Lin Ran couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it's finally quiet!
When it was time to go to work, Lin Ran was just about to close the door and go back to the house after seeing his family off, but Lin Lao San actually came back.
He came close to Lin Ran and grinned, showing off his big white teeth.
"Little sister, tell me where you found the gold bracelet. I'll go there secretly this afternoon and look for it again. Maybe I can find other good things!"
Lin Ran was speechless.
"Third brother, have you forgotten what Dad said at the dinner table?"
Lin Laosan looked indifferent.
"Dad just told us not to tell anyone, but he didn't tell us not to look for it. Tell me now."
"But if you go looking for it, won't you be exposed? If the person hiding it sees you, even a fool will know that you picked it up."
Seeing that Lin Ran refused to give in, Lin Lao San had no choice but to use his trump card.
"How about this, little sister, don't you love mulberries the most? There are quite a few ripe mulberries on the mountain. I'll pick some for you this afternoon. Just tell Third Brother, okay?"
Lin Ran couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"Third brother, I'm not a child anymore. If I want to eat it, I'll pick it myself. Humph, so don't try to bribe me."
"Sister Ranran wants to eat mulberry fruit? Then I'm here just in time."
Just then, a male voice was heard from outside the fenced yard.
