Chapter 609 Accident

As parents, they would definitely be worried to see their children looking dejected.

Since they could not find the reason, they could only ask around for help.

Hu Yu and Liu Yuanyuan had also checked the surroundings of the Lin family and did not find anything to be abnormal. Since there was nothing amiss, then the most likely scenario was that Miss Lin perhaps had someone she liked and was lovesick.

The more Hu Yu thought about it, the more she felt that she had guessed correctly.

Liu Yuanyuan was not interested in the discussion of love, but when she heard Hu Yu’s explanation, she could not help but find it convincing.

However, Liu Sanniang would only know what was really going on when she went there.

After dinner, the few of them stepped out together, leaving General Black at home.

Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan arrived at the Marquis Mansion together. When the servant guarding the door saw her, he greeted her with a smile. “Miss Liu, are you looking for Young Marquis Su?”

This was Su Yanyu’s shifu. When the servant thought about it, he felt that it was very strange. Liu Sanniang and Su Yanyu were about the same age, but she could still be his shifu. However, when the servant saw Liu Sanniang, he felt that it was normal.

Liu Sanniang nodded. The servant quickly invited Liu Sanniang in.

The people in the mansion quickly informed Su Yanyu and Mrs. Su of her arrival.

Su Yanyu smiled and walked up to Liu Sanniang. “Shifu, did you just come out of the palace?”

Su Yanyu guessed that it was probably because of him.

Liu Yuanyuan and Hu Yu must have explained the situation to Liu Sanniang, but Su Yanyu told it to her again.

Mrs. Su also came out. She smiled politely at Liu Sanniang. “Miss Liu, you’re here to talk about the Lin family’s matter, right?”

Liu Sanniang nodded. “Young Marquis Su has already told me everything. I’m going to take a look now.”

Mrs. Su nodded. “Alright, if there’s anything wrong in their family, you’ll definitely be able to tell.”

Mrs. Lin and Mr. Lin had vaguely guessed that Miss Lin probably had someone she liked. After all, it was normal for her to fall in love with someone at such an age.

However, even after being questioned by her parents, Miss Lin didn’t admit it nor deny it. She just locked herself up in her room and did not want to see anyone.

Helpless, Mrs. Lin asked Mrs. Su if she could send a message to Liu Sanniang and check with her if she could help them.

Su Yanyu got the servants to prepare the carriage and followed them out.

They arrived at the Lin Mansion.

Mrs. Su stepped forward. She explained her identity and purpose of coming. The servants immediately invited them in.

Mrs. Lin came out very quickly. When she saw Mrs. Su, she smiled gently. “Mrs. Su, thank you so much for coming. This must be Miss Liu. I appreciate your coming over.”

Mrs. Lin greeted Mrs. Su and looked at Liu Sanniang. For some reason, she was willing to place all her hope on Liu Sanniang.

Mrs. Su patted Mrs. Lin’s hand and said, “Hurry up and take us to see Shuran.”

At the mention of her daughter, a worried look appeared on Madam Lin’s face. She nodded. “Alright, this way please.”

Liu Yuanyuan and Hu Yu did not appear in front of outsiders, so no one saw them. They had already been to the Lin family. As soon as they entered the mansion, they went to see Miss Lin, Lin Shuran.

Liu Sanniang looked at them and asked calmly. “What’s wrong?”

Hu Yu frowned. “Venerable, that Miss Lin actually wanted to hang herself just now. All the maidservants were dismissed by her. Liu Yuanyuan and I cut the rope to save her, and she was frightened…”

Liu Yuanyuan said, “Miss Lin is bent on dying, so Hu Yu and I destroyed everything she could use to kill herself in her room.”

Liu Sanniang’s expression darkened. “Lead the way.”

Liu Sanniang suddenly quickened her pace.

Madam Lin was puzzled. “Miss Liu…”

Su Yanyu also quickly followed Liu Sanniang and shouted. “Sanniang, wait for me.”

Madam Lin looked in the direction where Liu Sanniang was walking and was stunned. “Miss Liu, how did you know where Shuran lives…”

She had never invited Liu Sanniang to her mansion, but Liu Sanniang knew where her daughter’s courtyard was.

When Mrs. Su saw that Liu Sanniang was suddenly anxious, she pulled Mrs. Lin. “Let’s not talk about this. Hurry up and follow them.”

Madam Lin came back to her senses. “Yes, yes, yes. There must be a reason why Miss Liu is in such a hurry.”

At the thought of this possibility, Mrs. Lin wished she could grow wings and fly to her daughter’s side.

Lin Shuran’s room was in the courtyard south of the Lin Mansion.

Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Su caught up with Liu Sanniang and entered the courtyard almost at the same time. Seeing that the maidservants were all outside, Mrs. Lin shouted. “Why are you outside?”

The maidservant replied. “Madam, Miss asked us to remain outside.”

Mrs. Su pulled Mrs. Lin. “Let’s go in and take a look.”

Mrs. Su felt a little uneasy. Could something have happened?

Mrs. Lin was also anxious. She entered the courtyard and went straight into the room. The floor was in a mess. Liu Sanniang was standing there with a golden hairpin which she snatched from Lin Shuran. There was a bloodstain on Lin Shuran’s neck and she was out of her wits.

Mrs. Lin went forward and hugged Lin Shuran. She said anxiously, “Silly child, what are you doing?”

The wound on Lin Shuran’s neck was not serious. It was just a small cut, but her skin was fair, so people could notice it immediately. It was not difficult to guess that Lin Shuran wanted to commit suicide.

Mrs. Lin’s heart was pounding. “You’re trying to break my heart. If Miss Liu didn’t come in time, you would’ve been dead, do you understand that?”

Mrs. Lin finally realized why Liu Sanniang suddenly quickened her pace. Mrs. Lin did not have the time to think about how Liu Sanniang knew her way. She was just glad that Liu Sanniang had the ability to do so. Otherwise, Lin Shuran would have already been dead.

Lin Shuran cried. “Mother, I didn’t want this to happen either. I, I…”

Lin Shuran couldn’t continue. She hugged Mrs. Lin and cried.

Mrs. Su couldn’t bear to see her like this. She squatted down and helped Mrs. Lin comfort Lin Shuran. “Don’t do anything stupid. It’s not worth it.”

Lin Shuran sobbed and could not speak at all.

Mrs. Lin pulled her up. The maids who came in outside were so frightened that they knelt down. Lin Shuran had the desire to commit suicide. As maidservants, they did not take good care of her. If Lin Shuran died, they would not have a good ending either.

Lin Shuran had an emotional breakdown. Mrs. Su, Liu Sanniang, and the others went outside and waited for Mrs. Lin to calm Lin Shuran down. Soon, Mrs. Lin shouted from inside. “Mrs. Su, Miss Liu, come in.”
