When she entered the room suddenly caught everyone's attention simultaneously they turned their heads towards her, Su Miou Lin was surprised she subconsciously took a step back as they stared at her with intense gazes, Su Miou Lin become nervous from their gazes cause no one ever saw her like this before especially the Su's family. Suddenly her nose smelled a sweet metallic smell almost like a copper coin then suddenly her servant pounced and gripped her leg tightly.
"Miss, help me! I'm just doing what you say please help me, please explained it to master and young masterI din't do anything wrong!" the young maid bawling and tears stream down on her face.
Su Miou Lin frowned in confusion, she didn't understand what her maid talking about "What..what are you talking about, stop holding my leg!" Su Miou Lin tried to pull her leg but the young maid grabbed her leg even harder which made Su Miou Lin wince in pain, "Let go!" Su Miou Lin shouted while pulling her leg from the young maid's grip violently causing the maid to fall on her chest first.
Unwilling to give up the maid pleaded in a hoarse voice from suppressed sobs "Young lady it was you who told me to put sleeping pills in Miss Xiao's soup, I was only doing your bidding please don't desert me!" she strecth her hand to grab Su Mio Lin leg again but Su Mio Lin back away from the maid hands.
Every words that came from the young maid implythat she was innocent and put all the blame on Su Miou Lin, needless to say the young maid was cunning and devious obviously Su Miou Lin who didn't have experience in scheeming and backstabbing is not the young maid match.
"Miou Lin, were you the one who put medicine on Miss Jin's soup and brought this wild man to ruined her innocent!" Su Han's voice was filled with accusations and disappointment because of Su Miou Lin, the Su family might be destroyed not with Jin Kai's hands but with Jin Hao's, so how could he not be angry.
Su Miou Lin finally saw the bloody corpse in the room which she screamed with her hand covering her mouth in fright, "Oh my God, over there… there's a corpse - there's a corpse!"
'So slow' Lan Hua rolled her eyes.

Miss Xiao and send someone to harm her?"Su Miou Lin's face was pale from the horrific scene before her but her aunt's gentle voice snapped her out of her shock.
Su Miou Lin then shook her head weakly, "I... I heard that Xiao Yan is going to meet her old cousin tonight, I don't want her..seduced the eldest cousin so I told my maid to drug her so she can't meet the eldest cousin but… but I didn't tell her to use a wild man to destroy Xiao Yan's chastity, I wouldn't do such a despicable thing, auntie, you trust me right?! she desperately tries to convince her aunty finally she realized what situation she was in immediately her anger rose towards the maid who was crying pitifully on the floor.
With a trembling finger she points at the young maid "I order you just put Xiao Yan to sleep, I told you that I will discuss this matter with the first and second uncles later, why won't you listen to my orders and act on your own?!"
"No...no, I didn't...you...you told me" The young maid insisted to put all the blame on Su Miou Lin she was sure with Su Miou Lin's track record no one would believe Su Miou Lin's words besides everyone else had witnessed her rude behavior towards Xiao Yan.
The young maid was not wrong. The Su family didn't immediately believe Su Miou Lin, and Su Miou Lin could see doubts were still in her family's eyes, she couldn't believe that her family didn't believe her!
Lan Hua chuckled at the sight that was familiar but carrying bitter memories in her memory then she chimed in with a cold steady voice, "Not only did your servant disobey your orders, she also used you as a shield when she was caught, it seems your servant has calculated everything from the start, miss Su, your servant is really smart" Lan Hua quipped.
Lan Hua's words made the entire Su family realize they also found it strange that a servant so easily confess everything from the start without being asked normally a loyal servant would try their best to cover up their master's fault but this servant did the opposite, instantly their suspicions towards Su Miou Lin turned to the young maid.
"We don't have time for this, let's go!" Jin Hua was already feeling much better as the effect of the drug has gradually worn off, Jin Hua grabbed Lan Hua's arm and passed through the Su family crowd in hurry.
Su Miou lin was shocked when she saw Jin Hua's real appearance, she didn't know Jin Hua but she had seen her occasionally so she was quite familiar with Jin Hua's appearance.
"Y...you...Miss Jin Hua?"
Jin Hua glanced at Su Miou Lin quickly and answered his question he just spoke to Su before leaving "On the third day if we don't return, you must leave the Misty Lake clan immediately, don't wait until the sun rises, leave right away!" Jin Hua emphasized the last sentence.
Su Yang and the others gulped, their expressions turned extremely tense, Su Yang cupped his fists and bowed his head deeply, "Please help my family miss Jin, I promise the entire Su family will repay your kindness for up to seven generations"
"You don't have to do that, I will try my best, please stay vigilant - all of you!" Jin Hua then left with Lan Hua, their lightweight skill was very high in an instant they figure disappeared into the dark night.
Su Han stared at the dark and quiet of the night which was in stark contrast to the turmoil in his heart, "Will brother, father, and grandfather return safely?" he muttered in a muffled sad voice.
"We can only hope for the best, but we must also prepare for the worst." Su Tao patted him on the shoulder to comfort him as well as remind him.
Su Miou Lin heard the conversation and she was even more confused, "What...what happened, why is Miss Jin here? Where is Xiao Yan, is Miss Jin Xiao Yan...why?" she ask in blank looks.
Su Han stared at the darkness the peaceful night was a stark contrast to the turmoil within his heart, "Will elder brother, father, and grandfather return safely?" his lips trembled in deep sadness and his eyes were prickling with tears.
"We can only hope for the best, but we must also prepare for the worst." Su Tao patted him on the shoulder to comfort Su Han at the same time he try to reassure himself.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSu Miou Lin heard the conversation and she was even more confused, "What...what happened, why is Miss Jin here? Where is Xiao Yan, Miss Jin Xiao Yan...why?" her expression showed she had no clue of what happened around her.
Su Yang looked at her nephew and sighed heavily, "Lin'er, we have wronged you...we indulged your bad behavior too much, we forgive your bad temper, we have never disciplined or strict with you because we are afraid of making you upset or sad as a result we spoil you, are gullible, and arrogant, in the end, we let your parents down." Su Yang's voice was heavy with regret and sadness.
"Second Uncle, why are you saying this to me?" Su Miou Lin had an expression of sad confusion on her face.
Su Yang's wife had no words to retort, she turned to the frightened maid, she probably wished everyone would forget about her, too bad her wish didn't come true.
"Keep this evil servant in the warehouse, don't give her food or drink until my father-in-law and brother-in-law come home, she must take responsibility for her actions not only to us but also the King of the white dragon palace of the Hei Shen sect" Her eyes glint with contempt, she feels guilty for putting this kind of maid beside Su Miou Lin no wonder Su Miou Lin temperament become worst every year.
Immediately two strong maids came they twisted her arms behind one's back one could hear the sound of the boundary cracking and the young maid screaming in pain then they pull the young maid from the floor violently.
At that time the young maid realized that her plan has failed, so many things unexpected things happened beyond her calculation, she didn't understand what the Hei Shen Sect had to do with all this, why was Jin Hua in the room, where was Xiao Yan, why was the man ordered to sully Xiou Yan died horribly? but more importantly what will happen to her now?
"Second Madam, forgive me, I am innocent, it was young lady Su who ordered me, this is not my fault, madam...MADAM!" she pleaded incessantly as she was pulled away by the two maids, her shout gradually fading.
Su Miou Lin saw the maid being pulled away mercilessly but Su Miou Lin didn't feel relief even though she was happy her family chose to believe her but why did they all still look gloomy, Su Miou Lin nervously approached her second aunt with a pleading face.
No one in the room seemed to have the energy to explain what happened still Su Yang's wife couldn't bear to see Su Miou Lin almost in tears from being ignored by her uncle and cousins.
"Miou Lin if our family can get through this disaster, let's start all over again, this time we will teach you properly so I hope you will be ready" she smiles while gently tucking the strands of Su Miou Lin's hair behind her ear.
"Auntie, you say as if I didn't properly educate?" she pouted.
Su Yang's wife just smiled faintly then she turn her head towards her husband who used to stand tall like a mountain now looks so small and fragile, her heart ached for her husband but she had no words to comfort him, she could only pray that everything would be fine.
