Ms. Lu felt guilty that she made Pei Wanyue sad.
"I'm not suspecting you. I just want you to know that I can protect you no matter who you offend in this house, but not Xie Pinggang. Even I am terrified of him. Although he looks crude and reckless, in reality, he's much wiser than your Uncle Xie. He works at the Criminal Division and has investigated many cases. If you really made a mistake, I'm afraid you can't deceive him!" Ms. Lu explained immediately.
Pei Wanyue held her head slightly low.
"I didn't do it." Pei Wanyue was persistent. "Who needs that piece of jade and their donation to get into the Royal Academy? I got my own way. There's no need to s-steal—"
"What did you say!?" Ms. Lu was stunned.
"I said I got my own way," repeated Pei Wanyue.
Although she said that, Ms. Lu was even more suspicious now.
How long had it been since her daughter had gotten here? What kind of solutions would she have?
