Ningzhi took a second look. The lip print was very light, and it was facing Mama Lin. If it weren't for her good eyesight, she wouldn't have noticed it.

She thought it was funny. She really wanted to see what Mama Lin was trying to do by pretending to be mysterious.

After confirming that it was the Xiao Yuzhang that she had given to Ningzhi, Mama Lin hurriedly closed the small box.

Then, she casually placed the small box behind her. She had no intention of returning it to Ningzhi.

Ningzhi glanced at the small box and asked, "Auntie, is there a problem with the relic?"

Mama Lin sighed again. "Your parents have been telling me in my dreams these past few days. I'm going to take your parents' relic to the temple for the master to perform the ritual."

"After the ritual, I'll return it to you," Mama Lin continued.

"You young people are different from our generation. You don't believe in such things. I'm going to ask for peace of mind. I hope that my sister and brother-in-law can rest in peace."

Mama Lin had always had the habit of burning incense and praying to Buddha. There was nothing strange about her saying this.

If she hadn't realized that Mama Lin was pretending to be unwell, she would have believed her.

Ningzhi looked at Mama Lin's pale face and nodded. "Auntie, you can arrange it. I'll listen to you. After you're done with the ritual, you can return the relic to me."

Mama Lin couldn't help but smile. "You've been the most obedient since you were young. You're not like Tian Tian, who would anger me from time to time."

After receiving the small jade seal, Mother Lin's mood relaxed. When she mentioned her daughter, when she looked at Ning Zhi again, she couldn't help but size him up a little more.

At her birthday party, she thought that Ningzhi was becoming more and more ordinary.

Looking at it now, it was just as her daughter said. The halo had returned to Ningzhi, and Ningzhi's appearance had changed back.

Mama Lin's feelings were complicated. Compared to her aunt and niece, she hoped that her daughter would become beautiful.

Ever since she was young, her sister had always been prettier than her. Everyone's eyes were always on her sister.

Therefore, Mother Lin understood her daughter's thoughts. She didn't want her daughter to live under the halo of Ningzhi's beauty.

She didn't know if her daughter would be able to snatch the limelight back in the future.

On the other side, Ningzhi gave Mother Lin a meaningful look but didn't say anything.

After sitting for a while, Ningzhi didn't plan to continue wasting time here. She proposed to leave.

Obviously, Mother Lin was also worried about other things. When she heard that Ningzhi was leaving, she only said a few polite words and didn't continue to urge her to stay.

Lin Mu looked sickly. "I'll get someone to send you out. I didn't sleep well last night. I'll go upstairs and sleep for a while."

"It's okay, I can go out by myself." Ningzhi got up and took out a tissue. Suddenly, she leaned over to Lin Mu with the tissue in her hand.

"What's wrong?" Lin Mu's mother was so scared that she wanted to retreat when she saw Ningzhi rushing over.

Ningzhi wiped Lin Mu's forehead with a tissue. "Aunty, you're sweating a lot. Are you hot?"

"Huh?" Lin Mu was a little confused. "No."

Ningzhi said worriedly, "Could it be because you haven't been resting well recently and your body has become weak?"

Lin Mu's body stiffened. At such a close distance, she was afraid that Ningzhi would notice something. "Maybe. I'll be fine after a few days of rest. You don't have to worry about me. Be careful on the road."

Ningzhi smiled and held the tissue in her hand. "Okay, then have a good rest."

Lin Mu looked at the tissue in her hand. She wanted to say something but stopped. She moved her lips and could only watch Ningzhi leave.

After leaving the Lin family, she looked at the thin layer of foundation on the tissue in her hand. Ningzhi curled her lips. She did it on purpose just now.

Lin Mu was now in a dilemma. Would she notice anything?

She wanted the other party to be anxious and conflicted.

Ningzhi threw the tissue into a trash can on the street. She took out her phone and made a call.

"I want you to help."
