“Then I’ll follow you over and take a look first.”

Lin Suisui didn’t refuse the consultation fee from Du Wangshi and simply accepted it. She gave Mrs. Luo some instructions, then followed Du Wangshi towards the Du family’s tent.

Du Ling’er was very unstable. In order to prevent her from losing control and hurting others again, the Du family had no choice but to gag her and restrain her in the tent.

However, it was probably because of this treatment that Du Ling’er looked even more like a little beast that had been forced into a corner. At this moment, all that could be seen on her dirty face was her crazy eyes that looked hysterical, sharp, and fierce.

“Mother, you…”

When Du Ling’er went crazy previously, the Du family had more or less received her unfriendly greeting, so even though Du Ling’er was already restrained by the rope, Du Miao’er and the others still didn’t dare to take the initiative to approach. They only stayed outside the tent and looked at the situation inside.

Seeing Du Wangshi bring Lin Suisui over, the sisters guarding the door were clearly surprised and even in disbelief. Even though Du Miao’er, who was standing in front, hid it very quickly, Lin Suisui still saw a flash of panic and guilt on her face.

“Why? Are you unwilling to let me invite Madam Liu to treat Ling’er?!” Madam Du was naturally polite to Lin Suisui because she needed her help. However, she wasn’t so polite to these two stepdaughters, who were blocking the door.

Moreover, she was now suspecting that Ling’er was set up by these two girls!

After she deal with Ling’er’s matter, she would deal with these two bitches!

“Mother, we didn’t mean that. We’re just worried about Ling’er, so…”

Du Juan’er, who was beside Du Miao’er, quickly stood up to explain, but after Du Wangshi glanced at her, Du Juan’er retreated behind Du Miao’er. She didn’t dare to say anything else.

Lin Suisui ignored the Du family’s skirmish. She walked around Du Wangshi and the others and slowly walked into the tent. She squatted down and grabbed Du Ling’er’s struggling arm.

Unfortunately, her wrist was tied behind her back. It was useless for her to struggle. In just a short exchange, she was pinned to the blanket by Lin Suisui. Even if she tried her best to shake her head and kick her feet, she couldn’t stop Lin Suisui from taking her pulse.

“She’s suffering from shock.” After Lin Suisui finished her diagnosis, she stood up and turned to look at Du Wangshi as she calmly told her the diagnosis. “She needs acupuncture and medicine. The conditions are limited now. Moreover, her body was injured to begin with. It’s not a good idea to tie her up like this.

“How about this? I’ll come over every three days to give her acupuncture. The rest of the time, I’ll prescribe her a calming medicine with the herbs we can find now. Just give them to her three times a day to stabilize her condition first.”

This wasn’t the first time she had seen this condition.

However, illnesses always came and went. Moreover, it was a mental problem that surfaced after being traumatized. If she wanted to completely recover, it would take more than a day or two.

Moreover, with the current conditions, there was no way to find all the herbs. The only thing they could do was to try their best to stabilize her condition and not let it worsen.

“Also, it’s best not to give her any more stimulation during this period of time. Try to let her recuperate.” After thinking for a moment, Lin Suisui added meaningfully, “Besides, it’s best not to mention what she experienced previously. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee how long she can last.”

After saying this, Lin Suisui turned around. She ignored Du Wangshi’s expression of gratitude and turned to walk out of the tent. However, before she could take two steps, she stopped beside Du Miao’er. She turned around and smiled at her as she asked with concern, “What’s wrong with your neck, Miss Miao’er?”

'',

“I fell yesterday and lacerated my skin.” Lin Miao’er took a step back and carefully avoided eye contact with Lin Suisui as she explained in a low voice, “It’s fine.”

“How can it be fine?! I know some ways to remove scars. Let me take a look for you!”

As Lin Suisui spoke, she reached out to look at the wound on Du Miao’er’s neck. Unexpectedly, Du Miao’er quickly took a few steps back to avoid Lin Suisui’s outstretched hand, as if she was avoiding a terrifying beast. “I’m fine. I won’t trouble you!”

Seeing Du Miao’er’s rejection, Lin Suisui didn’t force her. She just looked at her and smiled politely. “Then, if you need anything, you can look for me.”

After saying that, Lin Suisui turned around and left without looking back.

She didn’t walk back quickly. Before long, she heard hurried footsteps behind her. She didn’t look back, but continued walking. She didn’t stop until she reached a place without people. Then, she turned her head to the side and said, “Stop hiding. I can see you!”

“Madam Liu.” Du Juan’er carefully stuck her head out from behind the tree. She paused for a moment before walking out from behind the tree. She glanced at Lin Suisui uneasily, then hurriedly lowered her head again and said, “My sister and I really didn’t do it!”

Du Juan’er pursed her lips. Seeing that Lin Suisui didn’t respond, she took two more steps forward anxiously and explained to Lin Suisui with red eyes, “Really.”

I admit that we did ask Sanniang for help yesterday to delay you for a while, but our goal wasn’t to look for Gu Erlang in your ox cart.

Instead, we saw Gu Erlang go to the stream.

At that time, we had agreed to go to the nearby pasture to look for wild vegetables, but Du Ling’er wanted to go out with us not to look for wild vegetables, but to see her lover!

Therefore, we split up when we came out. I accompanied my sister to the stream to look for Gu Erlang. However, not long after we left the camp, we heard people shouting from the camp behind us that something had happened!

We didn’t intend to interfere, but halfway there, we saw Gu Erlang walking back from the stream in a hurry. My sister and I wanted to stop him, but we couldn’t catch up.

Later on, we realized that Du Ling’er was the one in trouble!

We swear that we really weren’t the ones who schemed against Du Ling’er this time! Her mother protects her so fiercely. We hate her, but we really don’t have the guts to attack her!”
