The Jinyun Hall was angry.
Lord Lin refused to back down, and neither would the Jinyun Hall. They had to find out the truth in order to clear their name.
Originally, there would be no conflict. Lord Lin wanted to clear his daughter’s name, which naturally would clear the Jinyun Hall’s name. He never had a malicious intent against the Jinyun Hall, otherwise he would not have been left in.
For the Jinyun Hall to clear its name, they needed to confirm how Miss Lin was harmed. That was logical.
Everything in agreement, the two sides were not in conflict or contradiction, because this time there was a third person.
The third person was in the right position to bear the blame.
But now, the Jinyun Hall seemed to be protecting the third person.
Not just the Jinyun Hall, but also the Ning Family.
The noble son of the Ning Family who should have been of the same heart as the Lin Family, stood on the other side.
Originally it was three against one, how did it suddenly turn into one against three?
Why did this change happen?
Lord Lin felt a bit stupid. At first everything was going smoothly. The Jinyun Hall also permitted him to take that person away, but then the door had suddenly opened and in walked Ning Yunzhao and an attendant.
Ning Yunzhao had spoken to him, the attendant had spoken to the director. Then everything changed.
While Lord Lin was in his stupor, the director was wide-awake. Without any hesitation, he proceeded to question Xianglan.
"Was it the first pot of tea, or was it the pot you went to get?" he asked.
Xianglan had long since gone dumb from fright, refusing to raise her head.
"Didn’t you very clearly say the tea was drugged? Why aren’t you saying anything?" asked the director.
If you don’t answer, the interrogation won’t stop.
"My young miss wouldn’t do such a thing; it’s obvious that she was drugged."
Xianglan raised her head and sobbed.
Her answer was genuine and sincere, and was also a fact, but it also blurred what she said previously.
The director looked at her.
"Why did you say the tea was drugged?"
He changed topics.
Xianglan went blank.
"Why did you keep saying it was the tea? Why not the food?" the director asked curiously. He seemed to be genuinely curious.
‘Because if I said that, Master would definitely make Jun Zhenzhen admit it.’
‘Because I drugged only the tea.’
‘Why did I say this? Because there wouldn’t be any use saying anything if this happened to Jun Zhenzhen.’
Xianglan’s mind was a mess; she wanted deeply to explain for Young Miss, so of course she needed to say she was drugged. How could she say Young Miss was perfectly happy to do such a thing with that man?
Xianglan was just a thirteen-year-old girl. Before, she had done that to frame someone else, in order to protect Young Miss and to stop anything from happening to the family.
But now, they were confronted with a matter of a girl’s reputation, which could almost determine her life or death. Moreover, the plot had been exposed, Young Miss was unconscious, and someone was interrogating her.
No one had taught her what to do in a situation like this.
Xianglan could only lie on the ground.
"The food was also drugged," she sobbed. "Everything was drugged. You just didn’t find that, but it was definitely because the tea and food was drugged and Young Miss ate it. It was definitely drugged, if not, my young miss would never do such a thing. What’s the point of these questions?"
The director wanted to say something, but Lord Lin coldly opened his mouth first.
"Are you saying my daughter is lying?" he said.
"No Lord Lin, what I mean is that we must confirm whether or not our tea has a problem," the director said.
"Your tea has a problem, it's not that you have a problem," Lord Lin said coldly. "Rather it was drugged by a third-party. Your questions don't have any meaning."
