Mrs. Wu had met Lu Zhaoling before, so she hurried over to greet her as soon as she saw her.

Although Lin Rong had heard her say this, he was still somewhat shocked when he actually saw the person.

He looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, and was very thin, but his face was particularly outstanding, and his eyes were calm and bright.

The assistant doctor actually praised such a young girl so much, and Lin Rong's curiosity about Lu Zhaoling reached a certain level.

"Miss Lu Er, you are here? Please take a look at my daughter. Seeing her like this, my heart feels like it is being cut by a knife..."

Wu cried and held Lu Zhaoling's hand, almost kneeling down to her.

Lu Zhaoling held her firmly.

"Don't worry, Madam Lin. Let me take a look."

It’s strange to say, but Lu Zhaoling’s simple words instantly calmed Wu.

"Miss Lu, I'm Lin Rong." Lin Rong saw that his wife was about to collapse, but she calmed down just because of Lu Zhaoling's words. He felt a little grateful in his heart and walked forward solemnly to pay his respects.

He didn't dare to look down on a girl who was about the same age as his daughter.

Lu Zhaoling glanced at him.

With just this one glance, Lin Rong felt as if he was completely seen through, and he was suddenly startled.

The eyes of Miss Lu II are not at all as clear and innocent as those of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl.

"Let me take a look at Lin Yanran first."

Lu Zhaoling withdrew his gaze and walked towards the bed.

"Did she faint again?" the assistant doctor asked Mrs. Wu.

Wu wiped her tears and said, "Yanran couldn't bear the blow and fainted."

If I wake up, I will feel desperate and sad.

Lu Zhaoling stood in front of the bed and looked at Lin Yanran.

In her eyes, Lin Yanran's face was covered with a layer of black and red aura, which was eroding her vitality and lifespan.

But there was a ray of golden light on Lin Yanran's head, and that golden light was trying to fight against the black and red disease. However, it seemed too weak and could not last long.

Lu Zhaoling took out a body cleansing talisman and gently stuffed it into Lin Yanran's lapel.

Soon, the talisman energy was seen bursting out, dispersing some of the black and red disease energy.

Other people couldn't see any of this, but they could see that Lin Yanran's frown slowly relaxed. Her face was originally tense and she was obviously uncomfortable, but now it was relaxed.

This is already a very obvious contrast.

Wu cried out softly, but then covered her mouth.

She was afraid that she would disturb Lu Zhaoling.

"Ms. Lin, have you ever taken something from someone else?" Lu Zhaoling asked.

However, Lin Yanran actually had some merits, which meant that she had done great good deeds. If it weren't for this little merit, her face would have become older and her hair would have been mostly white.

"Have you ever taken someone else's things?"

Lin Rong and Wu looked at each other, both of them were confused.

"Miss Lu, my Yanran is kind by nature. She always gives things to others. She will never take other people's things casually." Mrs. Wu said anxiously.

"I heard from Doctor Fu that you were together all the way back to Beijing?"

"Yeah."

Lu Zhaoling looked at Lin Yanran again, "But she must have taken someone else's things. Did she walk away on her own or talk to outsiders? You can't be together day and night."

"This..." Lin Rong frowned.

Mrs. Wu thought of something, "Husband, could it be during the time in Baicheng Town? Just ask Xiaohe and you'll know."

She immediately asked someone to call Xiao He.

Afterwards, Wu explained to Lu Zhaoling.

"Xiao He was Yan Ran's maid, and she was almost inseparable from her. We stayed in Baicheng Town for one night. It was dusk when we arrived. My husband and I were settling into the inn, and Yan Ran said she felt a little bored and wanted to go out for a walk."

Because the journey back to Beijing was long and that day was just an ordinary day in the itinerary, Wu had never thought about it before. It was not until Lu Zhaoling said that it was impossible for them to be together day and night that she suddenly remembered that time.

"Outside the inn was the main street of the town. There were still some people on the street at that time, and there were some small stalls on the street. I didn't think much about it. I just told her not to go too far and asked Xiao He to follow her. Yan Ran was always obedient, so she didn't leave for long and came back soon."

When Lin Yanran returned, she did not tell them what had happened.

Xiao He came over quickly.

She was a little girl about twelve or thirteen years old, with a round face and big eyes. Her eyes were a little red and swollen, probably because she was worried that her young lady would cry.

She saw everyone looking at her and became a little nervous.

Lu Zhaoling waved at her, "Come here."

"This is Miss Lu Er," Wu said. "Answer her questions truthfully."

"Yes." Xiao He walked up to Lu Zhaoling and bowed to her.

Lu Zhaoling glanced at her and said, "You seem to be feeling a little uncomfortable these days, right? You always feel cold?"

Xiao He looked up at her in surprise, "How did Miss Lu know?"

"When you and Miss Lin were in Baicheng Town, what did you see and what did you bring back?"

When she asked this, Xiao He immediately started talking about what happened that day.

"That day, my servant and I were just walking around the inn. We came to an alley and saw an old woman setting up a stall. My young lady saw that she was old and her clothes were patched. She looked very pitiful, so she bought some things from her."

Lin Rong and Wu's hearts skipped a beat when they heard this.

Lu Zhaoling insisted that Yanran took something, and now Xiaohe has really proved it, so buying something counts as well, right?

"What did you buy?" Mrs. Wu asked anxiously.

"They were just some straw things, actually they were woven quite roughly. They dried up and became deformed after a few days, so the young lady threw them all away."

At that time, Lin Yanran felt a little guilty, thinking that she had done something unfair to the old woman by throwing away the things she had woven. However, those things were really useless if they were brought back, and the grass emitted an unpleasant smell after it dried up.

Wu looked at Lu Zhaoling blankly again, "Second Miss Lu, it has been discarded, does it matter?"

Lu Zhaoling shook her head, "No, the things must still be with Miss Lin, otherwise she wouldn't be so serious. Those straw weavings, Xiaohe should have touched them, right?"

"Yes, I took them on the way back to the inn. In the inn, the straw weavings were also placed on the table. Later, they were placed in the carriage for a few days. The young lady also picked some wild flowers for decoration along the way. After they broke, I also took them away and threw them away."

"Do those straw weavings smell fishy?" Lu Zhaoling asked again.

Xiao He was even more shocked, and she nodded vigorously. "Yes, if it wasn't for the stench, the lady might not have thrown them away on the way."

"Think about it again. What else did she take at that time? Moreover, when she gave that thing, the old woman must have said something, for example, she hoped Miss Lin would give her something."

Xiao He suddenly remembered after being reminded by her.
