In the face of death, reputation meant nothing.
After figuring it out, she opened her mouth desperately. "I… I'll come clean!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Ran chuckled. Yu Niang and the others widened their eyes in disbelief.
Lin Xue felt the strange gazes from the villagers, but she could not care less because she did not want to die yet.
When Lin Ran let go of her hand slightly and Lin Xue could finally breathe, she coughed a few times. After coughing, Lin Xue regretted it and did not speak for a long time.
She had not learned her lesson yet.
Lin Ran sneered and did not say anything. She simply tightened her grip in the air. Lin Xue got scared and shouted, "No, don't. I'll talk. I'll talk, okay?"
"Speak up. Everyone is waiting." Lin Ran looked at Lin Xue indifferently. Her gaze was like a knife as if she wanted to kill her if Lin Xue dared to lie.
It was better to live than to die. Lin Xue was very afraid of death.
Even though she felt very aggrieved, she still said, "I-I hid the silver in my pillow."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go and get the money!" Lin Ran dragged Lin Xue into her room.
The onlookers saw what the two sisters were doing and followed them in. They happened to see Lin Xue taking out silver from her pillow.
Yu Niang and the others were stunned when they saw the silver in Lin Xue's hand. They looked at her with complicated gazes.
Lin Xue usually looked gentle and kind. No one expected her to pull this off. In order to sabotage her cousin, Lin Ran, she even ignored her older brother's illness.
At this moment, Lin Xue's sweet and kind image in the villagers' hearts collapsed and shattered into pieces.
"I'm glad the money was recovered. Yu Niang, take the silver and quickly go find a doctor for Lin Ming. The rest can wait," a villager kindly reminded.
Previously, Lin Ming was already unconscious. If they did not find a doctor, they might not be able to save him.
Yu Niang also came back to her senses. She looked at Lin Xue sadly and ran out with the silver.
"Yu Niang, wait. It's faster to go by cart." A man from the main family chased after her.
The onlookers gradually dispersed, but before they left, everyone glanced at Lin Xue, making her want to find a hole to hide in.
When everyone left and only Lin Xue and Lin Ran were left in the courtyard, Lin Xue said resentfully, "Are you satisfied now?"
"You're nuts!" Lin Ran cursed and turned to walk into the house. She had not forgotten that there was another patient in the house. She was a doctor, and her occupational instinct had kicked in again.
After the little episode, she more or less understood the current situation. This was not a film set for a television show. She had probably experienced time travel and transmigrated to ancient times.
Since she was here, she could only take things a step at a time.
Lin Ran did not get hung up over it. She had already cleared herself of the theft accusations. She had to check on the patient first. If she had the answer, she would treat him. Otherwise, she had to find some other way to do it.
She had a feeling that the patient in the room was very important to her.
"Lin Ran, why did you enter my older brother's room?" Lin Xue chased after her and grabbed her sleeve.
"Let go!" Lin Ran turned around and looked at Lin Xue coldly. Her gaze was very sharp. Coupled with the fact that Lin Ran was in a bad mood, Lin Xue could not help but let go.
For some reason, Lin Ran scared her. Lin Xue felt that if she did not let go, she might die in the next second.
