"Are you telling the truth? Did you really see Linda push your grandfather into the pond with your own eyes?"
Lenny didn't know about Rosy's scheme. In fact, he wasn't even sure what was going on.
"Yes, father. I saw it with my own eyes. Why won't you trust me? I can tell you exactly what happened. Jessie and I had nothing to do after dinner, so we decided to go to the plum garden to look at the fishes in the pond. As soon as we had set foot in the garden, we heard grandfather and Linda arguing over something. Then, we saw Linda pushed him twice before she finally toppled him into the pond."
Linda got furious as she heard what Rosy had said. "I had never pushed grandfather. You're framing me for something I didn't do. You're lying! Rosy Nalan, what are you trying to do? Why are you framing me?"
"I'm not telling any lies. That's what I had seen just now. Linda Xia, you are really evil. You have pushed grandfather into the pond, and you even dare try to deny it even though people have seen what had happened. If it were not for Jessie and me, no one would ever find out what you had done!"
"You're sick!"
"Stop shouting at each other, okay? You two are telling different stories. Now, we have no choice but to wait and see. Let's hope that father will recover soon. Then, he will tell us what had really happened, " said Lenny.
Spite flashed through Rosy's swollen eyes when she heard Lenny's remarks.
She would never let that happen! If he did recover, then what she had done today would all be in vain.
Rosy hadn't expected that Linda would bring someone who was good at kung fu with her. It was the only unexpected aspect of this plan.
Even though Rosy had seen Linda come to the Nalan clan's house with Bun before, it had been a long time since Bun had accompanied Linda. For the last few months, Linda had only brought Anna with her to the Nalan clan's house. Anna was a doctor, so she wasn't capable of jumping into the water to save a drowning old man. If it were not for Bun, Lord Nalan would surely be dead by the time he was pulled out from the pond. Nobody would be able to save his life, not even a doctor. Besides, Linda was eight months pregnant, and it would be easy to have her taken away if she was with Anna. The ideal situation had changed all because of Bun.
Lucky for Rosy, Lord Nalan had hit his head against the marble around the edge of the pond when he fell into the water. It seemed like he had gotten injured badly. He even had lost a lot of blood.
Even if he wouldn't die, he was so badly injured that he might become a vegetable.
Rosy had already fantasized that the Nalan clan's fortune would all be hers...
After a short while, a policeman arrived. In fact, he didn't want to come to the house of a powerful clan because, when he got the call, he immediately understood that this accident might concern a private vendetta within the clan. He couldn't afford to offend anyone there, so it would be a difficult situation. But since someone had called the police, he had to come. The state had its laws, and no one should break them.
"What happened to Lord Nalan?" A policeman asked Lenny politely.
The policeman was an old guy with a moustache and a big belly. The way he talked to Lenny showed that he already had experienced handling this kind of situation.
"Someone had pushed him into the pond. My daughter said that it was her..." said Lenny, pointing his finger at Linda.
The policeman turned around and looked at the woman whom Lenny was pointing at. Her face looked a little familiar to him. It seemed that he had seen her somewhere before. After much thought, he recognized her. She was the Lady of the Mu clan, Charles Mu's wife.
As far as he knew, she was the Lady of the Xia clan as well.
Everyone in SH city knew about the marriage of Charles Mu and Linda Xia. The media were all over their wedding, and everyone was talking about it.
How could he arrest Lady Linda, the lady of the Mu clan?
