Chapter 496: The White Lotus Gets Deflated (3)_1
Before Yaner could finish her sentence, Xia Zheng had already pushed the door open and happened to see Yaner frantically wiping Su Qiuyu’s skirt, while Lin Yuan stood opposite, bewildered, her eyes fixed tightly on him. Lin Yuan was truly shocked. She never expected that the kind of false accusation plot she’d only seen in TV dramas would actually happen to her. It was too coincidental, or perhaps, Su Qiuyu was just too clever, and this Yaner, perfectly in sync with her mistress, acted like a worm in her belly, performing so convincingly without any need for rehearsal.
After Yaner finished that sentence, she stared at Xia Zheng with wide-open eyes, perfectly expressing that she had no idea Xia Zheng would come in.
Su Qiuyu also couldn’t believe her eyes when she saw Xia Zheng, tears came to her eyes immediately, falling like pearls off a broken string, unstoppable.
"Young Master Xia, Miss Lin, she..."
Before Yaner could finish, Su Qiuyu quickly tugged at her sleeve, shook her head, then bit her lip desperately to hold back her sobs and said with immense magnanimity, "It’s alright, Brother Zheng, it was my own carelessness that knocked over the cup, it’s nothing, don’t blame Miss Lin."
Lin Yuan didn’t say a word, just quietly watched Su Qiuyu and her maid finish their act. Then, her eyes fixed tightly on Xia Zheng, wondering who he would believe in the end.
Xia Zheng had actually heard Yaner’s words upon entering the door, and after walking in and seeing the mess on the table and the cup overturned in front of Su Qiuyu, it was impossible to tell who had actually knocked it over.
However, he didn’t ask any questions. Instead, he quickly walked over to Lin Yuan, carefully examined her hands, and only when he found no signs of scalding did he breathe a slight sigh of relief.
