Noble Lady Ran Meiyu felt slightly relieved and turned her head to glance smugly at Ran Yan, who merely lowered her gaze slightly, ignoring her provocation.
Liu Pinrang was very vexed. Ran Meiyu claimed that her fingernail had broken because she was pushed by Ran Yan into the flowerbed beside the winding path and did not know what it had hit against when it snapped. However, despite having someone search for over two or three hours during the day, they had not found the broken half of the fingernail. Yin's household maids could attest to Ran Meiyu's fall, but no one could prove where exactly her nail had broken.
Previously, he had also had someone inquire among other Noble Ladies. Some could testify that Ran Meiyu had been to the Yulan Residence, but no one saw her go to the side hall, thus she had the time to commit the murder.
