Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Seeing Lin Yuan’s insistence, Lin Ran sighed and said, “Second Uncle, Xue, and I got into a fight. We just need some space for a while. Why don’t you just let me move out? I promise you that I’ll take good care of myself. I’ll be fine.”

Lin Yuan could tell that Lin Ran was determined not to go back, so he could only give up. However, he still decided to ask what had happened.

He did not ask Lin Ran but asked his son directly. Lin Ming did not side with anyone and told him what had happened.

Previously, when he heard Zhuzi’s words, Lin Yuan did not realize the severity of the problem. Now that he heard it from his son’s mouth, he suddenly realized a problem. They had doted on this daughter too much previously.

Otherwise, his daughter would not have become so reckless and have the audacity to pull this off. This time, his son got lucky. He might be fine for now, but it might not be the case next time.

Therefore, the most important thing now was to fix his daughter’s personality.

Lin Ran finally sent Lin Yuan and his family away before sitting down to rest. When she came, she had only taken the blanket and had to go back to get her clothes.

However, there was no hurry. There were still some of her old clothes at home. She could wear them first and go back to get them when she was free.

As for the food, Lin Ming would send it over, so she did not have to worry. For the moment, she was fine.

Previously, when she was busy, she did not feel it. Now that she was free, she was a little hungry. It was no wonder. She had secretly gone out to eat something last night, but it was almost noon.

Unfortunately, the best housewife could not cook without ingredients. There were no food supplies now, so she could only boil some water and drink some to fill her stomach.

Lin Ran went into the kitchen to boil water. Not long after, Lin Ming came over with food supplies. Seeing that Lin Ran was boiling water, he wanted to help, but Lin Ran refused. He said, “Second Uncle is back today, so I won’t bother buying you dinner. When I earn money one day, I’ll treat you.”

“Ran, I don’t want you to suffer. If you don’t have money, just tell me. I will help you make money.”

Lin Ran did not turn down Lin Ming’s kind intentions. She smiled and said, “Then I’ll thank you first.”

Lin Ran had come up with a plan to make money. When she was in the ancestral hall, she had already thought about it. If she wanted to use her medical skills to make a living, it probably was not enough, so she could sell herbs first.

The last time she went up the mountain, she discovered that there were many herbs that could be sold in town. This way, she could have a legitimate source of money. No one would question her when she spent the money in her possession.

Lin Ran had always been a person of action, so after lunch and a short break, she carried her basket into the mountains. She recalled someone still on the mountain, so she even brought him some food.

In the cave, Sima Yunshen had recovered from the poison, and his injuries were much better. He felt that it would not affect his movements, so he prepared to leave. He still had things to do and could not stay here for too long.

His only regret was that he could not see the lady who saved him again. He did not know her name. These few days, he thought that the lady would come, but no one came.

Never mind. If they were fated to meet, it would happen in good time.

Sima Yunshen took one last look at the cave, left a jade pendant and a banknote, and turned to leave.

He did not realize Lin Ran was digging for herbs in a mountain ridge not far away when he left.

Lin Ran picked herbs as she walked towards the cave.
