"Don't lie to me," her husband's voice had a tinge of warning. "Do you think she will waste her time looking for evidence if you did not do something wrong? Do you see me as a fool?"

"Husband… you have to believe me this time. I didn't really do anything wrong. Maybe we can ask father to.."

"Linyue… if you keep on lying to me. I won't be able to help you. We both know how your father is very strict about this.

"Madam… Miss Lily is still outside. She did not leave earlier and she… she told me to ask you…"

"Let her in!" Madam Liu said. She waited for the maid to leave before speaking to her husband. "She is here."
