Chapter 1255: Chapter 394: Slap, Making a Scene_3

Tang Xin hurried forward and helped the girl in red to her feet, but when she saw the fresh blood streaming from Miss Hu’s mouth and the swollen, bruised face with the most delicate skin almost beaten to a pulp, she couldn’t help feeling a secret shock and was filled with concern.

That face was likely to be disfigured, and now, the situation was really going to blow up!

As soon as Mo Yan arrived, she saw the beaten state of Miss Hu’s face. She had no time to scold Xin Er for hitting others and had Second Young Lady Han and Shengsheng restrain her, while she stepped forward to examine the injuries of the semi-conscious, sobbing Miss Hu. Upon examination, she found the girl’s injuries were even more severe than she had seen.

Not only was her face severely damaged, but there was also a slight concussion; clearly, Xin Er had not held back at all, striking with all her strength! If not treated properly, that face would truly be ruined.

Second Young Lady Han, unaware of the severity of the situation, worried about Mo Yan punishing Xin Er, hurriedly explained the whole story, "Sister Yanyan, you can’t blame Sister Xin Er for this, it’s because her mouth was too mean. Otherwise, with Sister Xin Er’s good temper, how could she have resorted to striking another?"

Mo Yan looked at her stubborn younger sister, uncertain what to say. Could she blame Xin Er? Naturally, she was blameworthy; such an incident on such a day of celebration was difficult to smooth over.

But more than that, Mo Yan felt distressed. Unknown to her, her sister had repressed too much in her heart, and it had all exploded at this moment, leading her to hit someone with such ferocity, turning the girl into this state in an instant.

Taking a deep breath, Mo Yan’s expression calmed, and she said to Second Young Lady Han and Shengsheng, "I will handle this. Take her to my room first. Do not let her out without my word."

Second Young Lady Han and Shengsheng understood Mo Yan’s meaning and nodded repeatedly, straining to pull an unwilling Xin Er toward the direction of Mo Yan’s courtyard.

No sooner had the three left than the arrived Madam and Sir Hu, surrounded by maids, rushed in after hearing the news. With them were several other Minister’s wives and daughters who seemed worried but were actually there to watch the drama.

Normally, these young noble ladies were accompanied by a maid; however, it was less enjoyable for the young ladies to play with a maid watching. An inadvertent slip of the tongue or an improper act could quickly reach their parents’ ears, which is why they dismissed their maids when Xin Er invited them to her room to play.

Otherwise, had a maid been there to intervene, Xin Er wouldn’t have been able to pin down Miss Hu and beat her into her current state.

"My God, my poor daughter, who did this? Who has tormented you like this, who exactly is responsible?"

The leading lady, dressed in dark red brocade, seeing Miss Hu being carefully supported by Tang Xin, immediately rushed forward. But upon seeing her daughter’s horrifying face, she was scared into taking two steps back, fortunately caught by a maid. She then threw herself next to the girl in red and burst into uncontrollable weeping.

Compared to Madam Hu’s breakdown, the accompanying Minister, Miss Hu’s father Sir Hu, was much more composed. He glanced at his weeping wife and daughter, then turned to face Mo Yan, "May I ask what exactly happened, Princess Hejia?"

Instead of answering directly, Mo Yan pointed to the other young ladies who had witnessed the whole incident and said, "I have only just arrived myself and am not clear on the details. Sir Hu can ask these young ladies; they know best what happened."

Upon hearing this, Sir Hu turned his gaze toward the several young ladies.

The girls who found themselves the focus of Sir Hu’s attention suddenly became nervous. Even they knew it would be difficult to resolve today’s matter. They were simply daughters of minor officials, unable to offend Sir Hu, who outranked their fathers, yet they were even less able to cross the powerful Mo Family.

The only option was to tell the truth without bias; otherwise, the consequences were beyond what they could bear.

Among the women who had come to spectate, two happened to be the mothers of some of the young ladies. Concerned their daughters might say the wrong thing, they quickly went to their daughters, ostensibly to comfort them but in reality to remind them, "Do not be afraid. Both the County Lord and Sir Hu are reasonable people. Simply tell the truth about what happened."

With the reassurance from their mothers, the young ladies gradually gained confidence and were no longer afraid. Consequently, one articulate young lady was pushed forward to recount the incident, while the remaining young ladies supplemented the details she missed, and soon the truth came to light.
