in.
Though now with less shock and anger, and more calm.
Why do you want to protect this Jun Zhenzhen?
”Lord Lin, this noble son speaks the truth, ” the pitch-pot director said and looked at him, sweeping away the alarm from before.
His expression was now calm, serene, and his back stiffened up as he radiated authority.
”Our Jinyun Hall takes responsibility for itself, responsibility for its reputation that has been passed down for a century.
We will definitely find out what happened; we won’t let March 3rd end in this generation. ”
Reputation?
What harm does a girl being harmed in your Jinyun Hall do to your reputation! What’s more, your Jinyun Hall has so many ways of breaking free from responsibility.
There is no need for such concern on your part.

In other words, what does your Jinyun Hall have to be scared of, in terms of reputation damage.
A cold sneer filled Lord Lin’s face.
The director turned around.
”Investigate the register, ” he told the attendant.
When the director spoke, Miss Jun moved her eyes away from Ning Yunzhao.
Though the director had backed off before, with Ning Yunzhao’s timely appearance, everything had returned to normal.
It’s like there was a fork in the middle of the road, and you walked the right one to your final destination.
”The register of those in the garden is here. ” There was an attendant in the room who pulled it out from his sleeve; he looked like he had prepared ahead of time.
”Miss Lin sponsored Miss Jun.
Miss Lin brought in one maid.
Miss Jun brought in two girls and one woman.
At a point,  Miss Jun’s servant girl and maid had left, and then Miss Lin’s servant girl had left. ”
He seriously turned over the pages and examined the words.
”Afterwards, Miss Lin’s servant girl entered again. ”
After reading that, he closed the scrolls and offered it up.
”The two girls did not sponsor anyone else, let alone a man. ”
The pitch-pot director took the scroll and put it in front of Lord Lin.
”Please officially confront these two young misses, ” he said.
Lord Lin looked at the proffered scroll.
”Since you want a court confrontation, we can have one at the county office, ” he said firmly.
”This kind of thing easily breeds gossip, so it’s better to decide it well.
In case it leaks and you have to give an explanation, the citizens wll be suspicious, ” the director answered equally firmly.
Without waiting for Lord Lint to speak, he turned back to the attendant.
”Investigate Section 1, room 19 and Section 4, room 7 for their drinks. ”
”Section 1, room 19 and section 4, room 7 were reserved by Miss Lin.
They took two pots of tea in total.
One pot was green tea that the attendants delivered personally.
The other pot was of flower tea, retrieved by the servants.
Two servant girls went to get the tea, but only one returned with it. ”
When the attendant said this, Fang Jinxiu interrupted.
”I was the one who called that servant girl away, so only Miss Lin ’s maid Xianglan brought the tea back, ” she said, looking at the prostrate Xianglan.
She snorted.
Perhaps it was because of his intense fury, but at this girl ’s snort, Lord Lin was unable to tamp down on his anger.
”What are you snorting for? ” he shouted out.
”What do you mean by that? ”

”I ’m not trying to say anything, it ’s just a sound, ” Fang Jinxiu replied.
Perhaps it was because her hand was being gripped tightly, but she swelled with confidence, daring to speak to a bureaucrat in such a manner.
When she thought this, she forcefully shook off Jun Zhenzhen ’s hand.
”It ’s fine, don ’t just run around willy-nilly. ”
Jun Zhenzhen did not try to take her hand again.
Was she a child who didn ’t understand anything? Fang Jinxiu stared.
What was she calling fine? Didn ’t something just happen?
The attendant continued.
”…both young misses drank the tea until it was all consumed.
There were snacks there, but they have already been examined; the examination showed no problems… Section 4, room 7 had only tea and no snacks.
The tea was also flower tea, and the attendant personally delivered it there and can confirm. ”
The director looked at Lord Lin.
”Lord Lin, there were no problems with our food and drink, ” he said.
Lord Lin laughed coldly.
”So reality is how you say it? ” he asked.
The director smiled.
”Of course not, that ’s why I requested a formal court confrontation, ” he said.
He turned to Xianglan.
”This girl, you said the tea was drugged.
Were you referring to the first pot of tea or the tea you went to fetch? ”
‘What is the meaning of this?’
Lord Lin was enraged again, but this time he didn ’t shout out his question.
The pitch-pot director furrowed his brows, his gaze sharp.
”Lord Lin, I have no intention of targeting you.
Since you do not believe our Jinyun Hall ’s investigation as well as the testimony of a medicinal specialist, then we must use witness testimony, ” he said.
”The stories about what happen have  all been muddled, and this girl said herself without prompting that the tea was drugged to hurt Miss Lin.
Obviously she must be privy to some kind of information, so I definitely must question it. ”
HIs gaze swept over all the people present.
”This happened at our Jinyun Hall, and definitely was not an accident, rather a well thought out plan. ”
Well-thought out, because naturally no one dared to provoke the backers behind the Jinyun Hall.
It would be like using their Jinyun Hall as a tool.
”I definitely want to know, who planned to do such a thing in our Jinyun Hall. ”
No one would be happy to be plotted against.
Rather, they would be angry.
And this time, it was the Jinyun Hall.
The Jinyun Hall was angry.
