Chapter 851 “She is the Mysterious Judge (3)”
Looming dangerous above Lin Yahan who has now been pushed onto the ground before herself, Chu Yi Yi appeared intimidating and dangerous: “I thought we had eliminated all of the corrupt variables in my home when Elder Zheng Qi made a cleansing last time, to think we missed a few still. The Holy Land would never allow unfairness, nor would we allow any form of fraud or bribery!”
“Sister Yi Yi,” Bai Xiachen takes a couple of steps forward to speak, “This Lin Yahan is that bad auntie’s cousin, I believe they’re in on this together and the instructions are from her as well.” Despite being so young and tender, the boy’s face already showed a dominance akin to his old man.
Falling into a panic at being called out, Huo Yun hurriedly turns to her own big cousin for help using those teary eyes.
“No, this has nothing to do with my younger cousin,” Lin Yahan calls out with forced words. “Everything was orchestrated by me. She has nothing do with this and didn’t know what I did. Princess, please give me a chance.”
The greatest punishment even if he’s exposed would be expulsion at most, but if his cousin there gets involved then it won’t be that simple. For example, the girl’s father would never let her off after she returns to the Fiery Flame Sect!
Plop!
The maid that’s involved had also gotten to her knees by this stage. Banging her head against the cold hard floor, blood was quickly seeping out from the forehead and staining the marbled tiles over the intense force.
“Everything is just like Sir Yahan says, this has nothing to do with my lady here and is our fault only. I was one the one who went to him because I wanted to get even for my lady….” Streaking with tears in the face, this maid carried a look of self-destruction.
If I carry all of the responsibility then at most it’s just my death, but if the lady here also gets harmed then my brother at the Fiery Flame Sect will also be killed….
Seeing how these two people are willing to take the blame off her shoulder, Huo Yun naturally became relieved inside.
Making a pretentious face of apology: “Lady, I know you have a deep misunderstanding of me, and its true my maid is at fault this time because of my failure in disciplining her. However, I have always lived my life on a morally high standard. I hope you can stop your son from framing me….” Her words were earnest and hopeful like she’s truly being wronged.
“So you want to stay and continue the test?” Raising a smirk, Bai Yan remains unfazed at having her son being called a liar. “Is that right?”
Huo Yun’s not dumb, she’s just foolish. Since her big cousin in the Holy Land was now screwed, it’s easy to imagine what her results would be later on. But the situation wouldn’t permit her to back off. If she does then too many red flags would be raised.
“Yes….”
“Hmm,” nodding like she’s agreeing, Bai Yan now focuses her attention to the trinket around the girl’s neck. “I’m fine with that. However, I need you to take off that pendant around your neck first before continuing.”
What?!
Popping her eyes in disbelief, Huo Yun’s heart was flustered and a mess.
She…. how could she know?
“Miss, this pendant is a momentum my mother left me before her death.” Drooping her head like she’s reminiscing a sad memory, the girl sure knows how to act. “She told me never to take it off for her sake, otherwise it will be a disrespect to her soul. Please don’t make me do something so unfilial to my deceased mother.”
