Her conscience ii

Wait madam Xiao, Lord Shan said as they run after her with his wife.

Lin'er how could you ?, I sin against her, I don't know what to say to please her burning heart,she must have been heartbroken knowing and seeing how cruel brother his to her after saying numerous times she's innocent,yet I force her into lasting punishment,hope she will ever forgive me, Jin thought and said few to ling'er

Lady Lin'er what are you going to do now,when all evidence pointed at you and as far as I known,Royal princess Xiaoling is not someone to be mess with,shen said.

Tell me,how dare you lied against me ,who ask you to,guards Lin'er ask as she called in authoritative and threat tone.

Is not me,it's her the 1st maid said pointing to the second maid.

No My lady,it's her. She trick me in betraying you because she saw me stolen your Gold eating gifted by 4the prince when am in dire need of money and use it to threaten me into colliding with her ,I didn't want to betray you my Lady, 2nd maid said in tears as she hit her head on the floor.

She's lying my Lady,am the one everything happen to, she told me someone give her some money to exchange the Jade pendant one of Royal princess dowry with a poisonous scorpion in order to implicate Royal Princess for miss death,so we trick miss into coming there to check when we hear her maids are going out,so we follow luckily they are still discussing about it. t....1st maid didn't complete it when the second take it.

so after Miss take it,she told me we have to delay the doctor so as to miss not to survive and if by chance the truth is finally out,everyone will blame miss for been a cruel and wicked person,2nd maid explained.

Guards.....Lin'er called.

young miss we are sorry,pls forgive us,I was influenced...they both cried and plead for forgiveness.

Who's the man,I will forgive you if you tell me any details about him, Lin'er said calmly.

He's covering his face didn't see him,but he smell like cinnamon, they both chorus.

Take them out and beat them until they confess,don't stop even if they are at the verge of death,and after they confess sell them to some lords as sex slave after having fun with them, Jin oder.

are they telling the truth, shen ask.

NO AND YES, She reply.

Why do you say so,Jin ask.

Technically speaking,they made mistake at the end which confirm my doubt that everything where planned by them before this ceremony,now I realize I make a lot of mistake,the maids I saw at the jewelries shop isn't royal Princess maids but crown princess maids claiming to be royal princess one's,I overheard the doctor telling them the first aid is effective that I only need the cleansen of my body from the poison because if not I would have been dead,I remember when I was about to make toast with Royal princess she tell me to take her own cup of wine and she take mine,so it means she's already aware that something is not right,now I realized they threatened her to be here,yet I miscoat her and cause a huge dispute between her and Regent out of my own hatred, how I wish I can make amends, Lin'er fall down in shame and guilty conscience.

Calm down Lin'er, me and your father will ask her step mother now,thou she hasn't wake up due to the excess cold she consumed and all because she's not yet okay and with the punishment,but she will be fine, we go over once she's okay to make an open apology, madam Shan said as she clean her daughter tears.

What would brother do now if he founds out ,how would he react,would Lin'er escape punishment, jin ask.

Not if he founds out because he's already aware of everything befall princess even got home that night, Mer, met and guard Shan already explained every details to him,that's why am here, Shen said.
