Liu Yuren's sarcastic remarks towards Jing Tian'ao left the onlookers enlightened, as they had expected General Liu, stationed at Border Defense for fifteen years, to speak in a booming voice like Xuan Yuan Ling. Instead, they were surprised by his roundabout way of insulting someone.
Meanwhile, Liu Yuren remained unseen, which only piqued curiosity further.
Xia Yingba's gaze fell on Huxin, who stood there with a sour expression. He huffed disdainfully; it was clear he did not favor Huxin.
"What are you still doing standing there? Hurry up and welcome General Liu into the residence!" Xia Yingba shouted at Huxin, his voice booming enough for half the street to hear.
Xia Jinzhi could not let Huxin pass easily; Si Qian, Le Yi, and Consort Mei were still waiting here!
Xia Jinzhi quickly nudged Hui Ting beside him. Hui Ting sprang to her feet and stepped forward to block Huxin's path.
"She can't leave! She still needs to help my sister with one hand!" Hui Ting pointed at Huxin and then glanced at the frostbitten face of Jing Tian'ao. Hui Ting felt anxious but reassured herself that her aunt Consort Mei was present, giving her the backing she needed. What was there to fear?
Xia Yingba's expression turned cold as he shot a glare at Huxin without saying a word. His demeanor suggested he was prepared to ignore the situation and let Huxin deal with it herself.
Seeing Xia Yingba's silence invigorated Hui Ting. With tears in her eyes, she dramatically recounted how Si Qian had lost a hand because of Huxin. As for Consort Mei, she held back her pain while fussing about wanting to punish Huxin.
"Xia Huxin! You have some nerve! You dare to hit me? You even knocked Le Yi unconscious! Let's see how you can argue your way out of this!" Consort Mei finally caught her breath and pointed at Huxin, her expression fierce and terrifying.
Xia Yingba raised an eyebrow in surprise as he looked at Consort Mei, as if he did not recognize the woman before him at all.
"Old Gu, am I seeing things? How could the voice I just heard sound so much like Consort Mei? But the person before me looks like a beggar! Is someone impersonating Consort Mei for deceitful purposes, or has Consort Mei always looked this way? Is my memory failing me?"
Xia Yingba turned around with a puzzled expression and asked Butler Gu behind him. His face looked sincere and serious. Butler Gu suppressed the urge to twitch his lips and nodded obediently.
"Master, this person is indeed Consort Mei."
"Really?" Xia Yingba still had an incredulous look on his face.
Huxin, watching his father act so convincingly, felt a sense of inferiority. Indeed... the older the ginger, the spicier it gets!
"Master, it is truly true!" Old Gu lowered his head and spoke in a deep voice.
"Is it absolutely true?" Xia Yingba still looked disbelieving.
Old Gu couldn't help but twitch his lips hard, lowering his head even further. "Master, it's one hundred percent absolutely true!"
"Xia Yingba! What do you mean? Do you think what I said is false? You just want to protect your useless infatuated daughter! I will definitely seek justice for myself in the Xia Family today!" The usually elegant and noble Consort Mei was now too flustered to care about her appearance. Earlier, she had been dragged into the courtyard by Huxin, her hairpin scattered everywhere, and her luxurious palace dress torn in several places. When had Liang Mei ever been this disheveled?
She vowed not to be a person until today's grudge was avenged!
Only then did Xia Yingba realize and exclaim, "Since Consort Mei is not fake, then let Consort Mei clarify the situation in front of all these citizens on the street, so we won't have to deal with any favoritism from me towards my daughter once we get back to the mansion!"
As Xia Yingba said this, he coldly looked at Huxin.
"You foolish girl! So many people are saying you bullied her; why don't you tell us how you bullied her?"
