"Stop!"
A deep, commanding voice thundered from the shadows.
They all turned to their left and, to their surprise, standing before them was Fuhan.
He ran towards them together with some other guards as he flashed a quick look at Lin Xu and Yan Mei before facing the head maid.
With a kick, he pushed her away and the bowl of black liquid fell and smashed on the ground.
The other accomplices tried running away but they were caught by the guards he had brought along with him.
"You! How dare you try to commit such a wicked crime.. Take her away!" he ordered and immediately she was dragged away.
"Please… p-please hear me out… ahhh… I can explain," she cried as she was taken away together with the other maids who had assisted her.
"Lin Xu, are you alright?" Yan Mei quickly helped Lin Xu up, dusting her clothes and making sure she wasn't injured.
"Hmm.. I'm alright, I hope you're good too?"
