After all, she was an old woman. Although she looked like she was using a lot of strength, it actually didn’t hurt too much.
However, the behavior was irritating.
Lin Xiaoyue glanced at the guilty Old Madam Lin, and the corners of her mouth curled into a smile.
“Is that so?” Then, she asked Old Fourth Lin.
Fourth Uncle Lin’s face turned pale.
She was hesitating whether he should tell the truth.
After all, he and Old Madam Lin had pawned the jade pendant together.
After that, he even took 50 taels of silver.
However, he had no choice but to give it up.
However, his fingerprint was on the pawn ticket at that time.
If Lin Xiaoyue were to pursue this matter, he would not be able to get away with it.
On the contrary, if he didn’t admit to this matter.
Lin Xiaoyue had no evidence, so he and Old Madam Lin would be fine.
At this moment, Old Fourth Lin was truly regretful.
If he had known earlier, he would not have revealed the origins of the 50 taels of silver in front of so many people out of anger.
Now that the fiend had come, this matter would probably be very difficult to resolve.
Just as Fourth Uncle Lin was about to speak, the woman who had followed him outside the door suddenly rushed into the room.
“Don’t be stupid! Tell the truth about the jade pendant! Ms. Lin will be fair. On account of your truthful confession, she won’t make it difficult for you!” She said anxiously to her husband.
When Old Madam Lin heard this, she looked at Old Fourth’s wife with a poisonous gaze.
She pounced over and was about to hit her.
Seeing this, Fourth Uncle Lin could not tolerate his wife being bullied.
He immediately stood in front of his wife to protect her.
“Get out of the way. You have a wife, and you forgot about your mother!”
“She’s just a piece of junk with two burdens, and you still treasure her?! Get out of the way. 1’11 tear this b * tch apart today!”
Old Madam Lin was as fierce as an eagle, but Fourth Uncle Lin was like a strong hen, firmly protecting his wife behind him.
It was Lin Xiaoyue who got annoyed and signaled Fan Teng to come forward to help, only then did the three of them separate.
Old Madam Lin acted tough with her own family, but she was cowardly toward outsiders.
Fan Teng only gave a few warnings and did not even make a move. Old Madam Lin cowered and sat on the ground again.
Fourth Uncle Lin comforted his wife who had just recovered from her shock, feeling guilty.
“I’m not interested in watching your family drama.”
“Old Fourth Lin, is the matter about the jade pendant true?” Lin Xiaoyue asked Fourth Uncle Lin.
In fact, she wanted to give Fourth Uncle Lin a chance.
After all, ever since this person was thrown into the mountains by Li Xiao to teach him a lesson, he did not go against the Liu family like before.
Fourth Uncle Lin’s face turned pale again.
His wife quickly grabbed his hand and ignored Old Madam Lin, who was threatening her. She looked at Old Fourth Lin pleadingly.
Fourth Uncle Lin sighed and finally let go of his wife.
“It’s true.” Then, he lowered his head and said to Lin Xiaoyue.
“You bastard!” Old Madam Lin was instantly furious. She got up from the ground and pounced on him.
Unexpectedly, Fan Teng made a move in time and kicked Old Madam Lin away before she could do that.
“Do you want to die?” He warned.
Frightened, Old Madam Lin could only curl up and cry.
She didn’t dare to speak too loudly.
Fan Teng did not leave after that and stayed by Old Madam Lin’s side.
He looked as if he would attack her if she dared to move. Old Madam Lin was so frightened that she trembled like a mouse.
Lin Xiaoyue glanced at Old Madam Lin and smiled contemptuously.
Then, she looked at Old Fourth Lin.
“Tell me, how did you get the jade pendant? Why is my mother’s pendant in your hands?”
Fourth Uncle Lin panicked. He felt his hand being pulled by someone, and his heart calmed down a little.
Then, he explained everything.
After Lin Xiaoyue heard this, she quickly looked at Old Madam Lin dangerously.
“I didn’t expect you to steal. And you even stole such valuable property.”
Old Madam Lin shrank back.
“Steal? That jade pendant was…I picked it up. What 1 picked up is mine. What does it matter to you?” She didn’t even dare to look at Lin Xiaoyue and refuted.
“Humph.” Lin Xiaoyue sneered.
“You don’t have the final say on whether or not it’s stealing. The magistrate will make a decision.”
Old Madam Lin’s face instantly turned as pale as a ghost..
