Shen Xiaozhang arrives

Jiang Youbin glanced at his smart daughter. "Muxun have you done it? Be honest!"

Jiang Muxun's face twisted with anger but it was only for a mere second. Nobody present there noticed it. Immediately, her face paled and big tears began to fall from her eyes. Her body began to tremble like a thin leaf and her eyes turned red. "Woo... Father, you are trusting this maid over your own daughter? Why?"

"Yes, General. Eldest Miss cannot do this," Concubine Qin cooed softly.

"Humph! Why would she dare not to do it?" Concubine Ming sneered. Her hand clutched into two tight fists and she glared at Jiang Muxun. "After all, you hate Jiang Yuyu, don't you? She has everything that you want. Though she is not the eldest miss, though she is not as good looking as you, though she is not as talented as, but she has everything that you dream off."

Jiang Muxun's face turned red. Her hands twisted the handkerchief harshly trying to vent her anger on it. On the inside, she was burning furiously. Yes! She hated Jiang Yuyu to the core. It was all because of that slut that she was suffering. That slut had stolen her love, her position, her father, and that everything that she cared about.

What was so good about her that people showered their love on her?

Jiang Muxun sneered internally. Even after her death, people couldn't stop praising her. Humph! But so what? It's not like she is ever going to come back. She must have been dead by now. Her reputation, her life, her youth, everything must be destroyed by now.

Jiang Muxun thought evilly. However, on her face, she showed nothing. Her face was full of crying as if she was a victim of a terrible accusation. She began to sniffle loudly. Even while crying there was grace and elegance on her face. Looking at it some of the male servants inside the hall couldn't help but feel sad for her. "Concubine Ming, I know you don't like me much. But, please don't accuse me so wrongly." she cried.

Then looking at her father, she continued. "Father, please don't trust this maid. She is lying. Why would I send Yuyu to the Mystical Forest? That place is so dangerous. I would never do it. Please, this maid is lying."

Jiang Youbin frowned. He looked at his Eldest daughter for a moment. His face turned serious and nobody could tell what he was thinking. He took a deep breath and then looked at his shadow guards. "Go and search for my daughter," he commanded.

"Yes, Master."

"If you can't find her, then there is no need for you to come back," he warned.

The shadow guards nodded and then they left. After sending the guards, Jiang Youbin looked at the crying maid at his feet. His anger increased at the thought that this maid was trying to falsely accuse one of his daughters. "You bold servant!!! You dare to lie to me!!!" he yelled. A tremendous amount of the aura of a warrior was released from his body.

Every servant in the hall began to trembled and kneel down. The pressure was so great that even Concubine Qin began to tremble. Her face went pale as the huge amount of pressure fell on her body like a mountain. Her knees gave up and she was beginning to kneel. However, as she was standing close to General Jiang, he noticed her discomfort and took his aura back.

The pressure was gone and everyone took a sigh of relief. The only two people who could withstand this aura were Concubine Ming and Jiang Muxun. Though both of them were able to stand the pressure, after a while they were tired. Their face looked pale and their entire back was covered in large sweat.

"No..... Master, this humble servant is not lying. I saw the Eldest Miss tempting the Second Miss to go to that forest," the maid cried.

"Oh really? Then do you have any proof?"

Suddenly, a voice broke the tense atmosphere. It was a familiar voice and everyone turned to look at the person who was entering the hall. Jiang Muxun's eyes lit up and her face bloomed like a flower when she saw the person. "Brother Shen!!!" she called out as if she was not seeing her would-be brother-in-law but her savior.

"General Jiang!" Shen Xiaozhang greeted as he took in the scene inside the hall. Next, he looked at Jiang Muxun who was crying softly. Seeing her beautiful face smeared with tears, his heart ached. He couldn't help but step towards her. "Ahxun, why are you crying? Don't cry. Tell your Brother Shen, who is bullying you?" he asked.

Hearing his words, Concubine Ming couldn't help but snort. "Master Shen, this concubine is touched that you are worried about someone's fake tears. Yet, you are don't seem so worried about your own fiance's life and death. Quite ironic, isn't it?"

Jiang Muxun glared at Concubine Ming.

Shen Xiaozhang chuckled. Even when he heard the mockery in her words, his facial expression didn't change. His face still carried that gentlemanly smile as though it was not him who was just mocked. "Concubine Qin, I cannot see injustice happening in front of me," he told her. "And, as of Yuyu, I have also sent a few of my men to look for her."

"Oh!"

Shen Xiaozhang smiled. Then, he looked at the trembling maid at General Jiang's feel and his eyes turned serious. When Jiang Muxun noticed his gaze, she began to cry harden. Pointing towards the maid, she said, "Brother Shen, this maid is accusing of me sending Yuyu to that forest? Brother Shen, why would I do that? This maid is clearly lying. But, father is not ready to trust me..."

Shen Xiaozhnag looked at General Jiang. From the look on General Jiang's face, he couldn't figure out anything. Still, his heart was at peace. He knew that his perfect plan would never fail. That stupid idiot Jiang Yuyu was already dead. Now, he would never have to marry that fool and his ruin his life.

Hah! Instead of all the talented beauties surrounding him, why should sacrifice himself and marry that ugly fool?

It was just that he needed to act smart in front of the General and handle this situation properly.
