Chapter 68: Questioning

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“You said that Du Ling’er has a lover?”

Lin Suisui looked at Du Juan’er, but wasn’t too interested in what she had just said.

If Du Ling’er really wasn’t with Du Miao’er and her sister when it happened yesterday and went to see her lover, then it was very likely that she had seen the girl’s murder with her own eyes!

Unfortunately, Du Ling’er had gone crazy from fear. Otherwise, she would be able to get some information from her.

However, from the looks of it, there was another way. As long as they followed the traces of Du Ling’er’s whereabouts yesterday, they could more or less reduce the range of their search.

“Yes, it’s Ma Shun from the Ma family.” Du Juan’er only hesitated for a moment before telling Lin Suisui the truth.

After she and her sister returned yesterday and found out that something had happened to Du Ling’er, they were almost scared out of their wits!

Yes, they indeed hated the Du family and wanted revenge! But no matter how much they wanted revenge, they wouldn’t choose to get revenge now!

The future of the two sisters was still in the hands of Du Wangshi. If they were completely confident, it would be a different story. However, Du Miao’er still wanted to marry Gu Erlang. At this time, they needed the Du family’s help. How could they offend her precious daughter Du Ling’er?!

They weren’t that brazen!

They had explained it to Du Wangshi yesterday, but she didn’t seem to believe them at all! However, because of Du Ling’er’s matter at that time, she didn’t have the time to teach them a lesson. But today…

“Madam Liu, we won’t dare to be so bold in the future. Please be magnanimous and forgive us!”

Du Juan’er came because Du Miao’er had given her a look telling her to come.

Actually, they were confident that they could persuade Du Wangshi. As long as no one else guided her, even if they would suffer in the next few days, they were still confident that they could push the blame away!

But now, if Madam Liu were to give some pointers to the Du family, then…

Originally, they weren’t worried. After all, Du Wangshi had always bullied the weak and feared the strong. After yesterday’s incident, Du Wangshi probably didn’t have the courage to cause trouble for Madam Liu. However, they didn’t expect Du Wangshi to actually put down her pride to look for Madam Liu to treat Du Ling’er!

What surprised them even more was that Madam Liu actually agreed!

Du Miao’er and her sister didn’t think that Lin Suisui was doing so because she was magnanimous and kind. They only thought that she was taking the opportunity to take revenge on them…

That was why Du Miao’er asked Du Juan’er to come over and apologize to Lin Suisui.

They wanted her to let them off.

“What’s with the wound on your sister’s neck?!” Lin Suisui didn’t immediately agree to Du Juan’er’s request. She asked another question.

“When we rushed back from outside yesterday, my sister fell and was scratched by the bushes by the road.” Although Du Juan’er didn’t know why Lin Suisui suddenly cared about this, she quickly answered her question.

“Do you remember where your sister fell?!” Lin Suisui was clearly more concerned about this than Du Juan’er had expected. She looked like she wouldn’t stop until she got to the bottom of it.

“I remember. I’ll take you there.” Du Juan’er needed help now. No matter how puzzled she was, she wouldn’t refuse now.

She quickly nodded and raised her hand to point in a direction for Lin Suisui. “It’s over there. It’s not far from here.”

Lin Suisui nodded and didn’t refuse Du Juan’er’s suggestion. Seeing that Lin Suisui really wanted to go, Du Juan’er naturally didn’t delay and quickly led Lin Suisui to the place where her sister, Du Miao’er, had fallen yesterday.

Just as Du Juan’er had described to Lin Suisui, there was indeed a patch of overgrown bushes. Even though the thorny vines had shed their green leaves, the black hard thorns growing on the branches were still quite prickly.

Lin Suisui squatted down and carefully pulled at the thorny vine in front of her to take a look. Only when she keenly found dried blood on one of the thorns did she let go of the thorny vine in her hand. She stood up and turned to look at Du Juan’er with a kind smile. “The wound on your sister’s neck was caused by the thorns of this vine.”

The juice of this thorny vine was poisonous. Although it wasn’t lethal, if one was cut by this thorny vine, the wound was very likely to leave a scar after it healed!

“I made some scar removal ointment previously. If you don’t want a scar on your sister’s neck, come with me to get some.”

With that, Lin Suisui turned around and walked back without saying anything else to Du Juan’er. Although Du Juan’er was also worried about the scar on her sister’s neck, she was more concerned about whether Lin Suisui would agree to their request.

She jogged to keep up with Lin Suisui. After hesitating for a long time, she chased after her and begged, “Madam Liu, we were too reckless and did those things without regard for your reputation!

But we had no choice!

As you can see, our stepmother does not care about our lives at all. She only wants to sell us out for money!

She decided to marry my sister to that widower who slaughtered pigs. Do you know that the widower is only three years younger than my father? He already had two wives! I heard that he beat them to death!

Originally, he should have had a child. His second wife was pregnant at that time, but was beaten up by him before she gave birth. In the end, two people died…

If my sister marries him, her life will be over!

We really couldn’t think of any other way. That’s why we targeted Mr. Gu!

“We won’t dare to do it again. Madam Liu, please, please spare us this time!”

“You keep saying that you two were forced into a corner, so you two had no choice but to force me into a dead end?!” Lin Suisui stopped and turned to look at Du Juan’er, who was crying. Her smile was filled with ridicule. “If you two were forced into a corner, you have the right to destroy my family and snatch my husband?!

“I have no enmity with you two, yet you two made such a despicable decision. What right do you have to beg me to forgive you and show mercy?!”
