A thief dared to feign innocence in front of her.
"Madam Lin, when did the Fire Spirit Ginseng become part of your Lin family?" Su Ruojin wasn't angry, and looked at Zhao Jiao expressionlessly.
Zhao Jiao was stunned when she met those calm, expressionless eyes.
Even though Su Ruojin's tone was calm and she didn't get angry, she could still see the deep-seated anger in those eyes, as if she would be burned by boundless rage if she wasn't careful.
Zhao Jiao was speechless for a moment: "You..."
Seeing this, Lin Wanqing said softly, "Sister... Miss Su, this Fire Spirit Ginseng should have been given to you by my grandmother. You are no longer the eldest daughter of the Lin family, so you should return your grandmother's things to the Lin family."
Looking at Su Ruojin's increasingly beautiful face, Lin Wanqing's eyes flashed with a hint of jealousy.
Su Ruojin, that little bitch, thought that once she was kicked out of the Lin family mansion, she would definitely be tormented by her "parents" in Shili Village. That couple was someone she had "carefully" chosen, and they had already abused three daughters-in-law to death in their home.
But unexpectedly, this little bitch did not follow her plan. Instead of going back to Shili Village to find her biological parents, she used Old Madam Lin's money to open a clinic.
Thinking of this, Lin Wanqing hated Old Madam Lin even more. She was clearly her grandmother, yet she sided with outsiders and helped a nobody girl.
Previously at the Lin family residence, it must have been Old Madam Lin who secretly gave this little wretch money behind the Lin family's back to learn medical skills.
Neither Zhao Jiao nor Lin Wanqing had considered that after Mr. Lin's death, Mrs. Lin, a single woman, raised Lin Zhengshan alone. How could she possibly still have any money?
Su Ruojin scoffed, "Miss Lin, where did you get the idea that the Fire Spirit Ginseng was given to me by my grandmother? Even if it was, so what? My grandmother's things are hers to give to whomever she wants. Is it any of anyone else's business?"
Upon hearing this, a hint of excitement flashed in Lin Wanqing's eyes. This Fire Spirit Ginseng was indeed given to Su Ruojin by her grandmother, which gave her even more confidence in getting the item back.
She was determined to win the Regent's favor by presenting it to him.
She was determined to get the Fire Spirit Ginseng!
Lin Wanqing said, "Miss Su, my grandmother is a member of the Lin family. Her things should naturally be left to her own grandson. My grandmother is getting old now, and I am worried that she will be deceived by someone with ulterior motives."
Zhao Jiao also put on a magnanimous appearance: "Su Ruojin, you have lived in the Lin family for so many years. I will give you a chance. As long as you hand over the Fire Spirit Ginseng now, I will let bygones be bygones and spare your life. You should know that swindling someone out of something worth nearly ten thousand taels of silver is no small crime."
Su Ruojin stood up: "Madam Lin, you are welcome to go to the government office to sue me for fraud. I, Su Ruojin, am ready to appear in court at any time. However, I would also like to remind you that false accusations are not a light offense. Yanluo, see the guest out!"
After saying that, she turned and left, unwilling to waste another minute on the mother and daughter and disturb her rest.
Yan Luo walked up to Zhao Jiao without any hesitation: "Mrs. Lin, Miss Lin, please."
Zhao Jiao was furious. As the wife of the prefect, who in Yanyang would dare not give her face? She had never been asked to leave before.
"Su Ruojin, you stop right there!"
Unfortunately, Su Ruojin ignored her completely and walked straight to the backyard without stopping.
Lin Wanqing clenched the handkerchief in her hand, glaring maliciously at Su Ruojin's disappearing figure.
"Mother, let's go find Father." She didn't believe that Lin Zhengshan wouldn't be tempted by the participation of a five-hundred-year-old fire spirit.
As long as the Fire Spirit Ginseng belongs to Old Madam Lin, it doesn't matter whether she gave it to Su Ruojin willingly.
