Chapter 49: Chaos

  Lin Zhaoyan felt a sudden dizziness and her vision began to spin.

  The snowball in the next room was also awakened by someone and barked violently.

  That sharp and piercing sound, with a mournful cry that pierces the heart, is mourning its deceased master.

  "How can it be?" Lin Zhaoyan refused to believe. He had promised her that she would get better by tomorrow morning, he had promised!

  How did this happen?

  Man Shuang wiped away a tear and cried, "It's said that after the young lady left, she couldn't hold on. We invited a doctor to come, and she struggled until now before passing away. Auntie has already fainted from crying at home, our mistress has also rushed over, and now Fifth Young Lady has also fainted, Old Master is rushing over to see her."

  Lin Zhaoyan's heart ached with wave after wave of pain, and Liu Wenyuan's voice and smile appeared in his mind. He handed the snowball to her, saying he would be fine later...

  It turned out he was cheating on her.

  Lin Zhaoyan really wanted to cry out loud, in this world Liu Wenyuan was the only one who treated her as well as Lin Chen did, now he's dead, she also wants to cry, wants to faint, and wants to escape.

  She is not as strong as she seems.

  But it's no use, she must be strong and face this reality.

  She didn't allow herself to think about Liu Wenyuan's every detail, didn't give herself time to feel sorrow and pain. She immediately got dressed and got out of bed, saying: "You take care of Xuetuan, I'll go to Luyu Hall to see Ruoyan."

  Lin Ruoyan seemed strong but was actually fragile, she really feared that she couldn't withstand these consecutive blows.

  Lin Zhaoyan rushed to the Luyu Hall at the time, and the courtyard was in a mess.

  Lin Chen didn't usually interfere with household matters. With something like this happening and Liu not being around, he was at a loss for what to do besides guarding the unconscious Lin Ruoyan.

  Lin Zhaoyan suppressed his sorrowful thoughts and stepped forward to give orders in an orderly manner.

  First, let the maid go and invite a doctor to come, then go and inform Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Ma about this matter. For the time being, it is necessary to keep it from Old Lady Lin. Although Liu Wenxuan has no blood relationship with her, he also grew up under her care since childhood, fearing that she might not be able to withstand the blow.

  The maids in the house, who had been frightened into a state of utter disorder, also calmed down one by one after hearing Lin Zhao's calm instructions. Some went to fetch the doctor, others went to call for people, and those who were supposed to boil water went to do so.

  Lin Zhao said to Lin Chen, "Father, why don't you go to the Liu's residence and take a look? If I'm not here, I'll be fine. I'm afraid Mother will be too heartbroken, and also afraid that Second Aunt might do something unfavorable."

  Lin Chen saw his eldest daughter's calm and composed appearance, without a hint of panic, feeling relieved at the same time but also extremely heartbroken.

  All are young ladies from noble families, when something happens, Yu'er chooses to escape, while Zhao'er wants to stand out and help deal with the crisis, why bother?

  But he nodded and ordered his servants to prepare the carriage to set off for the Liu residence in Qingjiao Alley.

  Lin Zhao stayed with Lin Ruo for a while, and the doctor came soon, saying that it was just excessive grief that made her faint, and she would be fine as long as she rested quietly.

  Lin Zhaoyan still asked the doctor to prescribe a calming and soothing medicine.

  After a while, Ma arrived, and Lin Xiang followed him over.

  "Mother heard about this and went ahead to Liu's house to calm things down, asking me to come over and take a look, saying it was nothing?"

  Lin Zhaoyan shook his head, "It's not good, now that she has fainted it's still okay to say, but I'm afraid when she wakes up and doesn't know how to comfort her."

  Lin Xing also looked heartbroken and said, "How could such a thing happen? Wen Xuan's body has always been healthy, it's unbelievable."

  Her sadness is not pretended, Liu Wenyuan treats her very well, as long as it's not a heartless and ruthless person, they will be sad, which is reasonable.

  But Lin Zhao Yan felt that her sadness was suffocating her heart.

  If it weren't for Wan Niang's machinations to get her into the palace, Lu Shi's petty tricks wouldn't have been enough to bring Liu Wenxuan down to this state.

  The doctor said Liu Wenyuan was poisoned by spring and had a heart attack, it's clear that he knew exactly what happened.

  But he got drunk that night, how could he be so sober?

  Don't even think about it, it must be Wan Niang who tampered with the wine. Getting drunk was fake, but being poisoned by aphrodisiac and losing all strength is true.

  Wan Yiniang is good at abacus, she not only wants to harm Lin Ruoyan, but also wants Liu Wenxuan to have a relationship with Lin Ruoyan under his clear consciousness, letting him know that he was designed and framed by his own birth mother!

  This is the first time Lin Zhaoyan has hated someone so much in her two lifetimes. She really hates her, and can't wait for her to get what's coming to her.

  But she couldn't afford to lose her temper; she had to remain calm.

  Liu Wenyuan is dead, and the Liu family and the entire third house will suffer a great blow. Not to mention that this will make Aunt Wan in the village smile secretly, even Madame Hou Lu will be concerned on the surface but probably rejoice in her misfortune behind her back!

  She must calm down, the three houses cannot be chaotic, and they cannot be laughed at by others.

  "It's nothing, you can go back now, we don't need you here." Lin Zhao Yan said to Lin Xing Yan in a light tone.

  Lin Xing's expression changed and he hastily said: "I'm just worried..."

  "It's all right," Lin Zhao interrupted her indifferently. "You stay here, if Yifan wakes up and sees you, it'll be another commotion."

  What she said makes sense, if Lin Ruoyan were to see her, she would definitely pounce on her and kill her.

  Lin Xing spoke from his heart and was afraid, so he had no choice but to retreat.

  "Come on, don't be sad. The deceased is gone, and the living must continue to live their lives."

  "I understand." Lin Zhaoyan replied in a low voice, but at the moment his eyes fell, he couldn't help but shed tears.

  She understands, but how can she control her own emotions?

  She is also human, there are things she can't do.

  As soon as he thought of Liu Wenyuan's last smile, he sent the snowball to her, that relieved and smiling face, his chest was densely aching.

  She never knew before that there was someone who loved her so deeply, and even if she mentioned it casually, he would remember it firmly and keep his promise to this day.

  How can she bear such deep feelings?

  Ma didn't say another word and quietly accompanied her like this.

  It wasn't until about half a watch later that Lin Ruoyan slowly came to.

  Unexpectedly, she didn't cry or make a fuss, but instead looked up at Lin Zhaoyan with her big round eyes and asked, "Sister, did Wen Xuan give Snowball to you because he knew he wasn't going to make it?"

  Lin Zhaoyan suddenly and uncontrollably burst into tears.

  Lin Ruo Yan smiled lightly, then closed her eyes and said slowly: "Actually, he already knew that he was no good, but for you, to make you feel at ease, he pretended to be fine. Then you really didn't know, you really thought nothing was wrong with him. It's you, it's you who killed him."

  Lin Zhaoyan was speechless in response.

  "But I won't blame you, how could I blame you? Wen Xuan big brother dislikes seeing me and you at odds, I don't want to, I don't want him to leave without being at peace."

  "If I say..." Lin Zhaoyan didn't know what she should say, it was her first time being so at a loss.

  Liu Wenyuan's death probably left an incurable wound between the sisters.
