“Seventh elder, many of my subordinates and I saw it with our own eyes. Second miss had a conflict with that miss Leng again. After that, she ran out angrily. I was worried, so I brought some people to follow her quietly. Who knew that she would actually be in contact with the Yan family?” The guard didn’t dare to hide anything and answered truthfully.

“You have to know that Hong Xin is the daughter of the master. Without any evidence, we can’t just convict her. So, we can’t act rashly.” The seventh elder said very cautiously. After he finished speaking, he ordered the guard to leave.

He then stood up and left his tent.

At this time, Hong Xin had already returned to her tent. However, her heart was not calm at all, because as long as she thought of what the man she had met before had said to her, her heart would beat wildly like a little deer.

That man told her that he wanted to know the exact location of the Yan clan’s first master and asked her to cooperate in rescuing the Yan clan’s first master. He also promised that he would not harm anyone in the Hong clan. However, she did not dare to agree because she knew very well that such an action was no different from betraying the clan.

However, the man’s following words hit the nail on the head. That was because he knew that she hated Leng ruoxue. It was obvious that he had been observing them for a long time. This made her even more frightened. Although she was not as smart as her sister, she knew that the Hong family was already under his control. Although she did not know who the person who betrayed the Hong family was, the man’s words had moved her.

That man had said that if she helped the Yan clan accomplish this task, he was willing to cooperate with her and push the blame onto Leng ruoxue so that she could take the blame for this. She was rather interested in this man’s suggestion. Hmph! Didn’t those elders and her father not think that Leng ruoxue would betray the Hong family? Since that was the case, she would show them some evidence.

At this moment, Hong Xin’s heart was set on scheming against Leng ruoxue. She did not know that her actions had long been known by the seventh elder of the Hong family. Furthermore, he had already sent people to keep a close watch on her.

After making his decision, Hong Xin headed to the place the unfamiliar man had told him about. He left a signal for the two to meet, and then returned to the Hong family’s estate as if nothing had happened.

Originally, the man had asked her to think about it carefully and give him a reply within three days. However, she only thought about it for a while before impatiently replying to the man. The seventh elder of the Hong family had seen this scene.

The next night.

Taking advantage of the night, Hong Xin quietly left his tent and went to the place where they had agreed to meet to meet the strange man.

When they arrived, the man was already waiting for them.

“Miss Hong Xin is indeed trustworthy.” The man said with a faint smile.

“I hope you can keep your promise.” Hong Xin warned.

“Don’t worry, the Yan clan’s members always keep our word. Since we’ve agreed to help you frame Leng ruoxue, we naturally won’t go back on our word.” The man promised.

“This is the key to the prison carriage that holds the Yan clan’s old master and Yan Ling ‘er. They are now being taken to the forest not far from Yan city. If you want to save them, you must not alarm the Hong clan’s guards, and you must not hurt them.” Hong Xin warned.

“Don’t worry, miss Hong, we know what to do!” The man said. He was about to take the key from Hong Xin’s hand when he was interrupted by the sudden appearance of the seventh elder of the Hong family!

“How bold! You actually dare to betray the Hong family!” The Furious seventh elder of the Hong family howled in disappointment. This howl scared Hong Xin so much that she instinctively retracted her hand. The key in her hand fell to the ground. Seeing this, the man immediately picked up the key and disappeared …

“You guys, hurry up and chase! Don’t let that man get away!” The seventh elder of the Hong family saw that the other party had run away and quickly ordered the guards.

“Seventh elder, we can’t catch up to him. He teleported away,” The captain of the guards reminded.

“Then bring Hong Xin back and hand him over to the master.” The seventh elder of the Hong family roared in anger.

He was already very upset when he couldn’t find any traces of the traitor after a few days of investigation. However, when he found the traitor who betrayed his family, he couldn’t be happy either. He never dreamed that Hong Xin would betray his family, and to frame a woman who lived in his family. He was so disappointed.

After bringing Hong Xin back to the base, he immediately gathered all the elders and personally invited the family master over …
