Chapter 791: 099 Auntie in Trouble_3
Unfortunately, Lin Jiaxin was disappointed, not because he had blocked them, but because of the suffering his parents had endured these days. Taking advantage of the time when they all went out for the funeral, Lin Jiaxin even made a special trip to the Lin Family Old House to chat with Lady Yang.
Lin Yuan had no time to take care of Lin Jianling’s burial because Liu Limin had encountered trouble.
Liu Limin usually drove her own carriage home, and Lin Yuan had reminded her that it was best to find someone to accompany her. But the bold Liu Limin did not listen. Ending up, she stayed late at the shop because a new batch of wine had arrived, and she did not head home until after dark.
She hadn’t planned to go back, but it just so happened to be Lady Fan’s birthday. Despite quarreling with and angering Lady Fan on a regular basis, Liu Limin was actually a very filial daughter, ultimately deciding to drive back to Liu Family Village in her carriage.
It was strange to say, she had traveled on the night roads before, but for some reason, when she just left the city gates, she felt an unexplainable panic, as if something bad was about to happen.
They say that bad premonitions often come true, and she really did run into trouble on the road.
She was accosted by highway robbers!
It was dark and there were almost no other travelers on the road when two burly men brazenly blocked her path.
As it turned out, Liu Limin was not someone to be trifled with. Facing the two men, she showed not a hint of fear and drew a prepared iron bar from the carriage, striking down each man with a blow. Then, she drove her carriage home like a madwoman, not daring to stop until she burst through her family’s gates.
Afterward, Liu Limin was scared in hindsight. At the time, she had the advantage of striking first, and since the two men likely had no intention to take her life and were unarmed, she had managed to escape. Otherwise, Liu Limin would never have made it back home.
This incident terrified her family. Liu Zhiguang happened to be home and immediately wanted to grab a stick and seek retribution, but Zhao Suxin stopped him in his tracks.
Liu Siliang and Liu Siqi felt there was something suspicious about the incident. Since Lin Yuan encountered robbers on the main road, all the bandits within a hundred miles of Zhuma Town had been eradicated by Li Chang. How could there be any robbers bold enough to commit a crime, especially just two and on their own? They had never heard of robbers acting without a gang.
After calming her nerves, Liu Limin thought it over and realized inconsistencies. Those two men kept claiming to be robbers, but their appearance was far from convincing; they lacked the true ferocity and ruthlessness of bandits. They may have been tall and strong, but they were clumsy, or else they would not have been taken down by a young woman like Liu Limin.
After much thought, Liu Limin finally understood the key point and came to the Lin family compound the next day with her elder brother to discuss it with Lin Yuan.
Upon hearing Liu Limin’s story, Lin Yuan furrowed her brows and gently asked, "Auntie, since you’ve come to me today, you must have discovered something. It’s just us two here, so you can speak freely."
As soon as Liu Limin entered, she pulled Lin Yuan into a room and securely closed the door and windows, obviously not wanting others to overhear their conversation.
Liu Limin’s face was gloomy. Although she had been greatly frightened, she was not crushed by the experience.
"Hmph, I came here to talk to you about this," Liu Limin spat disdainfully, lowering her voice in a huff, "Do you remember the trouble Miss Meng’s family caused me on the day of the Li Mansion’s celebration?"
Of course, she remembered. It was Lin Yuan who had sent Meng Chunyan away that day. Could it be that Meng Chunyan sought revenge by sending people to bully Liu Limin?
Liu Limin shook her head, her eyes flashing fiercely, "Not her, but her father!"
Her father? Head of the Meng Family, Meng Tong?
Lin Yuan’s eyes widened in surprise. How had she become entangled with this old man? Right, didn’t Meng Tong send her fruits during the New Year? Just a few months had passed, so why would he suddenly send people to bother her?
Speaking of which, Liu Limin couldn’t help feeling a bitter taste, and with difficulty, she forced a smile, "At first, I thought Meng Tong was a decent man, but after a few encounters, I realized that this old thing, hmph, is nothing but an old lecher! Every time he looks at someone, it’s as if he wants to strip them naked!"
