By all appearances, she had long anticipated this scene. She rested her chin on one hand, so calm she seemed to have nothing at all to do with the conflict.
She spoke calmly,
"I have no grievances or enmity with Liu Mei. Why would I kill her?"
The moment she finished speaking, the Liu Family Master's sharp gaze fell upon the family servants kneeling on the ground.
One of the servants hurriedly spoke up.
"It's true, Miss Liu Mei told us to take Su Ye to that abandoned residence. And we really did hear sounds of a fight coming from inside.
When we peeked through a crack in the door, we saw that the Hidden Guards were all dead. We were terrified, so we ran back here!"
The servant's account was delivered with earnest sincerity, and his solemn expression was incredibly convincing. He didn't look like he was lying.
'Oh. No, that's not it. They actually aren't lying.'
Su Ye's gaze swept over the servants.
Then, she spoke slowly.
