CHAPTER 318: CHAPTER 318

"Why do the young masters treat a servant like this? With such an accusation, I have no way to defend myself. I can only... I can only die to show my innocence!" Lan Xin said, and with a determined posture—

Did she charge towards the door?

This action left everyone momentarily stunned. A few people stared dumbfounded as she charged out of the inner chamber like a bull, her head lowered. The door curtain swung open with a "swish," and the screens toppled over.

Even the fiercest bull would award her a certificate for extreme sports. Who says extreme escape isn’t an extreme sport?

By the time everyone came to their senses and chased after her, Lan Xin was already outside in the courtyard, wailing like a banshee.

She had a very good sense of self-awareness; there’s no way she could outrun these cultivators, and hiding would be futile. So she ran to the courtyard and began to shout:

"No justice! They’re trying to kill me! A servant’s life isn’t worth anything! I’m innocent!!"

The servants who had just returned to their posts or were about to go to bed were suddenly drawn in by her cries and cautiously turned to see what was happening.

People’s instinct for gossip is boundless.

The few who chased after her felt overwhelmed as they quickly noticed the eyes from all directions secretly watching them.

"In broad daylight, in broad daylight—"

"It’s late at night now. If you’re going to shout, at least choose your words wisely," Lin Qing couldn’t help but remark.

Lan Xin was momentarily speechless, then shouted: "Slander! They called us servants in the middle of the night to serve, and now they falsely accuse me of poisoning the guests. Is there no justice left?"

Many of the servants who discreetly gathered to watch had just gone to help earlier, and now hadn’t had a chance to leave. Hearing Lan Xin’s words, someone couldn’t help but say, "Exactly, exactly. They suddenly woke me up in the middle of the night, and now they slander Lan Xin. Lan Xin is practically a veteran in our guest house."

"You dare call her old, aren’t you afraid she’ll punish you?" someone nearby teased.

"Oh come on, it’s just an expression. Honestly, I dislike these guests. They’ve been a nuisance ever since they moved in. Isn’t this taking advantage of the young master? They’re not even relatives of the Huo Family, yet they cause so much trouble!" that person pouted, expressing their discontent.

The person beside them shook their head: "I think it’s alright. Miss Chen and her companions never show the servants a bad attitude. Unlike Lan Xin, although she’s a servant, she treats us—"

"Are you one of us or with Miss Chen and her companions? You are a servant of the Huo Family too! Lan Xin is being falsely accused now, aren’t you angry? Instead, you’re siding with them? Today it’s Lan Xin, tomorrow it might be you!"

The person suddenly fell silent, swallowing their words.

Why must it be that Lan Xin is falsely accused? From their perspective, Lan Xin is capable of anything. She’s already neurotic and has been acting even crazier these past few days!

Yet, she wouldn’t say any of this aloud. The guests will leave eventually, but she would remain here as a servant for life.

Lan Xin shouted for a long time, realizing that those people were just hiding to watch the show and not coming out to help or back her up. She felt a bit frustrated, but thankfully, with so many people watching, these people couldn’t do anything against her. After all, she was a servant of the Huo Family, and they were just guests!

Besides, didn’t the demoness escape unscathed? If so many poisons can’t kill her, then who else could be the demoness?
