Hui Ting vomited all over the floor, and the next moment, her body went limp and she collapsed onto the pile of filth she had just expelled. The foul smell filled the entire hall. The maids and servants who had come to support Hui Ting and Si Qian all looked pale as they stared at the scene before them; those who were timid had already fainted, and now no one dared to approach Huxin.
Amidst the shocked and fearful expressions of the crowd, Huxin wore a playful smile at the corner of her lips, casually toying with the Vajra Furnace in her hand. As everyone’s faces turned as white as paper, she finally spoke, her cold and emotionless voice causing Si Qian and Hui Ting's entourage to tremble in fear, dropping to their knees in unison.
"Why don’t you all tell me what just happened? Everything that Si Qian did was voluntary, right? Each of you must speak; not a single one can be left out."
After saying this, Huxin raised her hand and pointed at a maid who was kneeling at the front.
This maid had been the most gleeful when she entered, so Huxin naturally decided to target her first.
Seeing the glimmering Vajra Furnace pointed in her direction, the maid was already trembling in fear, struggling to speak clearly, terrified that if she made a mistake, her head would be melted away by this object.
"I... I saw it with my own eyes; it was Miss Si Qian who wanted the Vajra Furnace..."
"Oh? Are you sure you saw it clearly? I’m worried that you might claim later on that you misremembered due to your age and deny everything!"
With a faint smile at the corner of her eye, Huxin appeared to everyone like a bloodthirsty demon from hell.
The maid was so frightened she nearly fainted, trembling all over as she hurriedly shook her head.
"I wouldn’t mistake it! I absolutely wouldn’t! My eyesight is still good; I even do embroidery every day! These maids can testify!" The maid pointed shakily at a group of stunned young maids behind her.
Huxin remained unfazed, lazily yawning as she said calmly.
"Then let them all speak up. What did they see just now? By the way, Qing Yan, you take some paper and write it down. I have a bad memory, so I won't forget and have to ask again later." Huxin said while gesturing to Qing Yan.
Qing Yan nodded and quickly turned to prepare the ink and paper.
The few young maidservants behind the old woman exchanged glances, not wanting to be the first to speak. The anxious old woman kept signaling them with her eyes.
Huxin did not urge them but instead slammed the Vajra Furnace down on the table with a loud bang, causing the bloody scene from earlier to replay vividly in front of everyone.
Without needing Huxin to say anything, the young maidservants began to speak up one after another.
"I also saw Miss Si Qian actively take that incense burner. Fourth Young Lady didn't give it to her, and she insisted on snatching it."
"Yes, yes, I saw it too. Fourth Young Lady advised Miss Si Qian, but Miss Si Qian wouldn't listen, and that's how the incident happened."
"I also saw that it was Miss Si Qian who refused to listen and insisted on grabbing that incense burner."
The young maidservants spoke one after another while Qing Yan wrote quickly on the paper.
Just as Hui Ting had finally caught her breath, she witnessed everyone she brought turn against her. She pointed at the leading old woman and cursed loudly,
"You shameless old hag! How dare you say such treasonous words! Do you know how terrible it is to speak in favor of Xia Huxin! Soon, Xia Huxin's fate will be your fate! You dare to lead people against me! Just wait until I tear your old skin apart and feed it to the dogs!"
Hui Ting stood up and was about to slap the old woman kneeling there. However, just as she got up, she stepped on the filth she had just vomited, slipped, and fell hard onto the ground. When she fell, her face landed right in front of Si Qian's bloodied hand that was missing five fingers.
"Ahhhhh!" Hui Ting screamed like a pig being slaughtered, not caring that her face and body were covered in foul substances. She stumbled out of the hall, rushing to find help.
