Chapter 631: Don’t Blame Her For Not Holding Back
After Xiao Lin ran out of the room, her heart beat faster and faster, as if it was about to jump out of her chest.
When she thought of the scene that Su Wan and Xiao Xia had just seen, other than nervousness, there was also a trace of guilt.
When she thought of Su Wan’s clear eyes, the guilt in her heart grew stronger and stronger. She even had the impulse to run back and tell Su Wan not to wear that dress.
However, it was just an impulse. She would never run back and expose her crime.
Xiao Lin heavily patted her head. She could not help but look a little disappointed.
She only hoped that Su Wan would be injured just slightly and not cause any big trouble.
She had deliberately picked some brand new pins that were never used before. It should not cause tetanus or anything like that, right?
Just as Xiao Lin was feeling uneasy, she suddenly saw a pretty figure standing at the stairs.
It was surprisingly the eldest daughter of the Siswell family, Diya.
Xiao Lin was panicking. When she saw Diya, her heart went up to her throat, and even her body couldn’t help but tremble.
Diya swept her gaze over Xiao Lin’s slightly trembling body and immediately frowned. There was a slight hint of anger in her expression.
“Didn’t I just ask you to get a few pins? Why are you so scared? Don’t tell me you didn’t succeed!”
What a useless thing!
Couldn’t even do such a simple thing.
Diya was already full of anger today. At this moment, seeing Xiao Lin’s meek and cowardly look, she was even more furious.
Afraid that her master would misunderstand, Xiao Lin hurriedly shook her head.
“No, miss, I’ve already done it. I’m just a little afraid...”
Xiao Lin did not have the time to finish speaking when she saw her master impatiently raise her hand.
“What, are you afraid the vixen will find out? Don’t worry, so what if she finds out? Hmph...”
When maid Xiao Lin heard these words, her heart was still filled with lingering fear.
Her lips trembled slightly. She was about to say something else, but when she saw her master’s overbearing manner, all her words were swallowed back.
Forget it. Other than young master Fiennes’ words, she would not listen to anyone else’s...
In a trance, Xiao Lin recalled the girl she had just met, especially that pair of crystal clear eyes. She had a photographic memory.
Hopefully, hopefully nothing would happen to her.
Diya completely missed the expression on her maid’s face. She raised her head proudly, and there was a deep arrogance in her expression.
Her arrogance was due to confidence.
Who was she?
The eldest daughter of the Siswell family, Diya!
She was born into a wealthy family and had enjoyed endless honor since she was young. How could she be trampled under the feet of that kind of woman!
As for that vixen called Su Wan, she was just a lowly commoner girl. No matter how angry her highness was, what could she do?!
Could it be that she still wanted to make things difficult for such a lowly woman, to the point of falling out with the Siswell Family?!
Not looking at her age, she actually had a sense of propriety when doing things.
It was just a few tacks, it was impossible for her to take that woman’s life. Besides, even if she was exposed, so what?
She could just cling on to the excuse of using those tacks to fix her clothes. She said that the gown didn’t fit, but she didn’t want to go back and judge, so couldn’t she just leave it there for now?
At worst, she could push Xiao Lin out to be her scapegoat. She would say that Xiao Lin wanted to stab her, but she did not expect to accidentally hurt Su Wan.
Diya lifted her chin arrogantly, as if she could see Su Wan’s neck that was bleeding.
If she made that woman so proud, she would make Su Wan suffer a little no matter what.
Moreover, she had made all the necessary preparations for this matter. She had even had an escape route.
She had originally thought that the high priest would not be willing to come to such an occasion. She did not expect that a few days ago, when she asked, the high priest would actually agree. She only said that he would be late.
Coincidentally, she also wanted to let the high priest see how His Highness was currently bewitched by a commoner girl.
It was better to banish such a shameless woman from the God’s Palace as soon as possible.
Moreover, a few days ago, she had vaguely mentioned the marriage of the emperor. Although the high priest did not say that she was suitable, it was clear that she did not have any thoughts towards the noble girls from other aristocratic families.
Diya was initially worried that compared to other noble ladies, she had a lot of pride and a bad temper. She would be despised by the high priest.
However, now that there was a comparison between a lowly woman like Su Wan, the high priest would definitely acknowledge her, right?!
Diya wanted talents, good looks, and a first-class background. She would not be inferior to a commoner!
His Highness’s foundation was not stable, and he needed to find a socialite like her to help him. Unfortunately, he actually took a fancy to such a lowly woman...
As Diya thought about it, the image of the emperor and Su Wan getting close suddenly appeared in her mind. She bit the corner of her lips, and a sharp light appeared in her amber eyes.
She had finally figured it out!
She had originally focused all her attention on the emperor because there were no other women around the emperor. She hoped that the emperor would take a few more glances at her.
As for now...
As long as she could win the favor of the high priest, as for the marriage of His Highness, heh, with the high priest in charge, she didn’t believe that his highness would be able to stir up any waves.
After all, in the God’s Palace, although the high priest was only a nominal position, being the previous emperor, the high priest was the true backbone of the God’s Palace.
There was also that woman. If she was tactful in the future, it wouldn’t be bad to push her to her brother.
Of course, she could only let Su Wan be Fiennes’ unrated mistress. Diya would never let her brother marry a woman without any background.
Her brother would inherit the position of the Patriarch of the Siswell family in the future. He absolutely couldn’t be dragged down by Su Wan’s background.
If that woman didn’t know what was good for her, then don’t blame her for not holding back...
Thinking about her plan from afar, a smile couldn’t help but appear on Diya’s face.
Her facial features were extremely good, and her smile was indescribably dazzling. Upon closer inspection, with the half-bright and half-dark light shone on her face, it gave off a terrifying feeling.
The maid, Xiao Lin, stood beside her. When she saw the smile on Diya’s face, she did not know why, but her hair suddenly stood on end.
...
Seeing Xiao Lin run out in a panic, Su Wan and the maid, Xiao Xia, stood at the door. The two of them looked at each other in dismay.
Su Wan’s right eyelid twitched a few times, and she could not help but have a bad feeling in her heart.
Although she could no longer see the flustered figure in the corridor, Su Wan’s heart was a little heavy.
She looked at Xiao Xia and asked softly.
“Why was Xiao Lin so flustered when she saw us?”
Xiao Xia shook her head in confusion.
“I don’t know. Maybe it’s because she accidentally dirtied so many gowns. Is she afraid of being punished by miss?”
As Xiao Xia spoke, her gaze swept across the dirty gown on Su Wan’s body.
She immediately pointed at the lavender gown not far away and suggested to Su Wan with a smile.
“Miss Su, your clothes are uncomfortable, right? Change into this one.”
