Sun Tao began his tale from the moment the three of them went to pay their respects to Xiao Hua. He explained that Xiao Hua, showing no regard for old times, had quickly sent them away. He added that after that first meeting, Xu Yang had warned Lin Wei of his ill intentions, but she had brushed him off with the saying, "A fine gentleman seeks a fair lady."
He went on to describe how Xiao Chen, wanting to latch onto the powerful Su Family, tried to dump Lin Wei, but she had desperately clung to him. He continued the story right up to the point of Lin Wei's "accident," admitting that while he and Xu Yang knew what was really going on, they didn't dare to make it public.
Despite all this, Xiao Hua still abused his authority as a Steward to send Xu Yang on a mission to exterminate the bandits at Qingfeng Stronghold.
Throughout his account, he mentioned several times that both he and Xu Yang had tried to persuade Lin Wei, but she refused to listen to their warnings.
