However, Lin Xiuyan still had to continue her act today, and she also wanted to know how many of the servants in the Lin family were truly loyal to the Lin family.
These people will definitely be given important responsibilities in the future.
Today's events are a mirror to reveal the truth; she will use this opportunity to thoroughly investigate the Lin family.
Fan Xilou rushed over after hearing the commotion. His foot injury had not yet healed, and he was walking unsteadily.
He walked up to Lin Xiuyan and asked, "Are you alright?"
After asking the question, he realized he had asked one he shouldn't have. How could someone whose loved one had died tragically be okay?
He was not good with words to begin with, and now, with such a tragedy, he didn't know how to comfort her.
Lin Xiuyan didn't answer; he already knew the general outline of what had happened before he came over.
Fan Xilou knew he was an outsider and shouldn't interfere in the Lin family's affairs.
But Lin Xiuyan was completely lost and confused. The Lin family had saved his life, and now that the Lin family was in such a mess, he couldn't just sit idly by.
He looked at Lin Xiuyan and said, "Miss Lin, listen to me, your cousin is a good person."
"You must stand up now. Even if you are sad, you must first take care of your parents' funeral arrangements."
"If you can't support the Lin family now, the foundation built by Master Lin will be completely destroyed!"
With red eyes, Lin Xiuyan asked, "I'm so confused right now. I don't know what to do. Can you teach me?"
Fan Xilou had little experience with the daily affairs of the mansion.
But he knew how to focus on the essentials: "Keys, silver, and land deeds—as long as you take good care of these things, even if things get chaotic today, you can get through the rest of the day." (cascoo.net)
"Although I don't have any special abilities, I am willing to lend Miss Lin a hand at this time."
Lin Xiuyan saw that his eyes were full of concern and that he had no intention of taking advantage of the Lin family's predicament to gain benefits for himself.
She felt that today's events were like a mirror, revealing all the demons and monsters in the mansion, and revealing even more precious qualities.
She asked him, "Are you really willing to help me?"
Fan Xilou noticed that her expression was a little strange, but he still nodded.
Lin Xiuyan's eyebrows curved slightly: "I really do have something I need to ask of you, and only you can do it."
Fan Xilou stared at her blankly, not quite understanding why she, who had just been very sad, suddenly had a smile in her eyes.
He scratched his head and asked, "What do you want me to do?"
Lin Xiuyan beckoned to him with her finger, and he leaned closer. She whispered a few words in his ear.
His eyes widened as he looked at her in disbelief. She winked at him and asked, "Do you dare to do this?"
Seeing that no one was around, Fan Xilou asked softly, "Are Master Lin and Madam Lin not dead?"
Although he was a bit slow-witted, he was a smart man. After a little thought, he realized that today's events were probably not so simple.
Lin Xiuyan raised an eyebrow and looked at him, asking, "Can I trust you?"
Fan Xilou nodded: "You saved my life. Although I can't give you my life now, I can help you with anything else."
Lin Xiuyan found Fan Xilou quite interesting. Now, he no longer had the aura of a powerful figure from her past life, but he seemed more real and reliable to her.
She winked at him: "No need for going through fire and water, just tell me whether you're going to do it or not."
Fan Xilou nodded: "I'll do it!"
Lin Xiuyan reached out and patted his shoulder, saying, "I knew I wouldn't misjudge you!"
Although she had a clear and honest appearance and showed no interest in that kind of thing, Fan Xilou still blushed.
He coughed lightly and said, "Then I'll go take care of my work now. Take care."
Lin Xiuyan nodded, but Fan Xilou turned back after taking a few steps and asked her, "I'm still worried. Shall I go and find Master Ye for you?"
"You'll feel safer with him by your side."
Lin Xiuyan didn't want Ye Junfei to accompany her at all. With him around, she had no room to maneuver, and she would even owe him a favor.
She asked Fan Xilou, "Have you forgotten who protected you when you got out of the gambling den last time?"
Fan Xilou paused for a moment, then said somewhat awkwardly, "That's true, then be careful."
Lin Xiuyan nodded slightly, and then he strode away.
She was full of anticipation for what Fan Xilou was going to do next, to see how well the big shot from her previous life could coordinate that matter.
After this incident, Fan Xilou will be completely tied to the Lin family and will never be Zhou Chenyang's man again.
As she considered this possibility, a hint of mystery crept into her almond-shaped eyes.
Hongxiu walked over and said, "Young Miss, my lady would like to see you for a moment."
Lin Xiuyan immediately reverted to her previous dejected state and asked, "What does my cousin want with me?"
Hongxiu felt that with Lin Yunzhi and Qu Shuangyue dead, her status was no longer the same as usual. She said arrogantly, "Why don't you go and find out?"
Lin Xiuyan glanced at her and urged, "Hurry up, don't dawdle, you're making my young lady wait too long."
Lin Xiuyan glanced at Hongxiu again, nodded, and followed Hongxiu away.
At this moment, several servants kept a close watch on Ye Junfei, preventing him from getting close to Lin Xiuyan.
The reason Jiang Xinrou sent someone to watch over Ye Junfei was because Zhou Chenyang had instructed her that Ye Junfei was dangerous and that she shouldn't let him help Lin Xiuyan.
Jiang Xinrou didn't know how dangerous Ye Junfei really was, so she sent three people to guard him. She thought that was enough people to keep an eye on Ye Junfei.
Ye Junfei is in a pretty good mood today because he knows there's going to be a good show.
He cooperated fully as the servants escorted him back to the Lin residence and arranged a room for him, a room he hadn't slept in all night.
On his way back to his room, he saw Lin Xiuyan and Fan Xilou whispering to each other, looking very close.
His expression darkened.
No matter what happened, she never consulted him, let alone asked him for help.
Even today, she didn't tell him her plans, only telling him to watch the show from the sidelines and not get involved.
She knew his identity perfectly well, and knew that if he wanted to, crushing Zhou Chenyang wouldn't be difficult at all, yet she never asked him for anything.
His good mood vanished completely at that moment.
After returning to his room, he coldly looked at the three servants, his gaze sweeping over their necks with a chilling intensity, and decided to snap them all.
After Lin Xiuyan followed Hongxiu into a room, Hongxiu looked at Lin Xiuyan and said, "Miss, I'm sorry to have offended you today!"
As soon as she finished speaking, several burly old women rushed towards Lin Xiuyan.
Lin Xiuyan chuckled, then slapped the old women to the ground and piled them all on top of each other like a human pyramid.
As she stacked them together, she also casually pressed their pressure points to silence them.
She stepped on the back of the old woman at the top and looked at Hongxiu with a smile, asking, "Tell me, how did you offend her?"
