C11 His True Colors Were Revealed
Meiniang was startled and quickly went forward to catch her. She did, but Lianshuang threw the teapot and cup in the direction of Yue Xier.
Yue Xier could not dodge in time and could only watch as the cup and teapot flew towards her. She instinctively squatted down to protect her face but her back and arms could not escape the calamity.
"Ah!" After a miserable cry, the sound of the teapot falling to the ground was heard.
"Xier!" Mrs. Lin was frightened by what happened and quickly went to check on her daughter's injuries.
Meiniang stood at the side in a daze and her hand still maintained the posture of catching Lianshuang. At this time, no one noticed the flash of light in Lianshuang's eyes.
Seeing Yue Xier clutching her arm in pain, Mrs. Lin hurriedly pulled away her sleeve and saw the bright red burn on her arm. Her face was extremely gloomy.
"What's wrong with you? You can't even carry a cup of water!" Mrs. Lin coldly stared at Lianshuang. That gnashing teeth look was very terrifying.
"Grandmother, Shuang did not do it on purpose." After Lianshuang stabilized herself, she took two steps forward and carefully looked at Mrs. Lin as she timidly said.
"Shut up, where did this lowly lass come from to be worthy of calling me grandma!" Mrs. Lin fiercely shouted back what Lianshuang had yet to finish. Lianshuang stood on the spot. Her small body was startled and her face was full of fear.
"Mother, Lianshuang, she." Seeing Lianshuang standing there blankly, Meiniang could not bear to see her and wanted to step forward to explain.
Mrs. Lin was still angry but before Meiniang could finish her words, she scolded harshly, "Just a mere prostitute, you."
The four words prostitute were like a clap of thunder, destroying all of Meiniang's expectations of recognizing her relatives.
She stood there dumbstruck. She did not dare to believe that such words came out from the mouth of her family that she had been thinking about for ten years.
Tears rolled in her beautiful eyes, one by one, they rolled down her face, soaking her delicate makeup.
"Mother, don't forget what we came here for." Yue Xier saw Meiniang's pale face and forcefully endured the pain on her body. She pulled Mrs. Lin over and said in a low voice.
Mrs. Lin's face slightly changed and her eyes flashed with a complicated light.
That's right, she came here to bring this slut back to the manor so that the old master could change his mind. Why was she so impulsive, but...
"Elder sister, mother didn't do it on purpose." Yue Xier went forward with great difficulty to pull Meiniang but Lianshuang blocked in front of her.
"Miss Yue is being too serious. Mother and I are of lowly status and I am afraid that we will not have the fortune to live in a magnificent mansion like Yue Residence. I hope that Madam and Miss can return." Lianshuang coldly looked at Yue Xier and said word by word.
Her clear and cold eyes stared straight at Yue Xier's face, which was pretending to be a good person. Her eyes became heavier and heavier.
How could they dare to speak ill of her!
Lianshuang gently looked at Meiniang, who was silent with tears, and looked at Yue Xier, whose eyes were getting colder and colder.
Just now, she deliberately fell down and also wanted to injure Yue Xier. It was just to reveal the hypocritical faces of the mother and daughter but she did not think that doing so would accidentally hurt her mother.
Lianshuang's cold words made Mrs. Lin angry. She looked at the little girl who was only six or seven years old in front of her. She was shocked and angry.
"Then mother and I will go back first. We will come back tomorrow." Yue Xier quickly pulled Mrs. Lin who was about to go forward and said softly.
Meiniang did not say anything and Lianshuang only looked at her coldly.
Yue Xier's brows slightly changed but she pulled Mrs. Lin who was full of unwillingness out.
Walking out of the Qian Jiao Pavilion's main door, Yue Xier remembered Lianshuang's cold eyes just now and was puzzled in her heart. Why did that girl's eyes make her inexplicably fearful and uneasy.
The mother and daughter got on the carriage and brought along a group of people who came along and left in a grandiose manner. On both sides of the street, flying dust followed along the way.
"Truly unlucky. That little slut clearly did it on purpose!" On the carriage, Yue Xier took off her fake mask and blurted out dirty words.
"One day, I will make them pay me back." Yue Xier's hand angrily knocked on the seat, but it pulled the wound, causing her to suck in a breath of cold air.
Mrs. Lin looked at her daughter in pain. She took out a handkerchief from her pocket and gently wiped the blood on her forehead for her.
"Don't be angry. Just find an opportunity to return it in the future." Mrs. Lin said faintly and her eyes were also ruthless.
"That foxy fox, wait for her to return to Yue Residence, see if I don't teach her a good lesson." Yue Xier's cheeks turned red, and the more she spoke, the more unbearable the atmosphere became.
Along the way, Yue Xier kept cursing and cursing non-stop. She did not see her usual gentle and generous appearance.
When the mother and daughter returned to Yue Residence, Mrs. Lin asked the maidservant to invite a doctor over.
In the study, Yue Hong was very happy when he heard that Mrs. Lin and Yue Xier went to Qian Jiao Pavilion to pick up Meiniang. He had been waiting for the news early in the morning.
However, he did not expect that at the end, he would hear the news of Yue Xier's injuries.
"What? Eldest Miss is injured?" Yue Hong walked out from the side of the table and looked at the servant who came to deliver the message. He frowned.
He hurried to Yue Xier's room. Before he stepped into the room, he heard the sound of crying coming from inside.
When he opened the door, he saw Yue Xier's red and swollen forehead and her right hand that was wrapped in gauze. Her crying look was very heartbreaking.
"What's wrong?" He strode forward and sat on the edge of the bed. He looked at his daughter who was crying and asked.
Yue Xier kept on crying and making noise. Mrs. Lin was at the side applying medicine for her. The mother and daughter did not reply to Yue Hong's words.
"In order to make you happy, Xier dragged me to Qian Jiao Pavilion to pick up people. I didn't expect that she would come back with a ribbon even though I didn't get her." After a long while, Mrs. Lin sobbed and said. Her eyes were filled with tears and could fall at any time.
Hearing this, Yue Hong frowned. Picking someone up wasn't going to war, so why did she have to be in such a sorry state?
"What happened?" Yue Hong's face darkened.
Mrs. Lin hesitated for a moment and gave Yue Xier a look.
Yue Xier understood and said, feeling wronged, "Mother and I were very happy to see elder sister. We were originally fine, but I don't know where this girl came from. For some reason, she took the cup and smashed me."
Yue Xier kept sobbing and after saying that, her tears fell down again.
Glancing at Yue Hong's expression, she continued, "It doesn't matter if your daughter is injured but it delayed elder sister and father from recognizing each other. It's just that your daughter is curious. That wild girl actually called elder sister's mother."
Yue Xier fixed her gaze on Yue Hong and Lianshuang's words were filled with doubt.
