"Miss, how could this happen? No," Qing Yan covered her mouth, trying hard not to cry. Despite her usually calm and composed demeanor, seeing the red marks on Huxin's back left her unable to remain calm.
Huxin, however, lay motionless on the bed, appearing as if she were asleep.
"Miss!" Qing Yan called out to Huxin again, but Huxin still did not respond.
Because Huxin was facing down, Qing Yan could not see whether she was awake or unconscious.
Just as Qing Yan trembled and reached for the door to close it, an exaggeratedly sharp woman's voice suddenly came from behind her.
"Oh! It's already late in the morning, why is Miss Xia Si still lying in bed? Those who know you, Xia Huxin, know that you are usually so lazy and rude. Those who don't might think I, Auntie, wouldn't teach you! Golden Branch, don't you agree?"
"Mother! Look! Her back!"
Before the sharp voice could finish, Xia Jinzhi's surprised voice followed closely.
"Auntie, Fifth Young Lady, the eldest young lady is still resting. Please..."
"Get out of the way, you little wretch! Who gave you the right to interrupt our conversation? Go away!"
With a muffled grunt from Qing Yan, Xia Jinzhi's mother—Ouyang Pingtian, who temporarily managed the backyard of the Xia Family—kicked Qing Yan aside with force.
She had already seen Huxin lying motionless on the bed.
Most importantly, it was the marks on Huxin's back that she was most eager to see.
When Qing Yan fell, her chin struck hard against the marble floor, and blood gushed out in an instant.
Ouyang Pingtian and Xia Jinzhi seemed to ignore her completely as they stepped over Qing Yan and entered the room. Both mother and daughter’s eyes momentarily glowed with a ghostly green light.
It felt as if they had effortlessly obtained something they desired.
"Mo Chuan!"
Ignoring the cut on her chin, Qing Yan shouted Mo Chuan's name loudly.
However, at that moment, Mo Chuan was entangled with Sui Feng and Suiyu in the backyard Pharmacy.
Mo Chuan did not fail to recognize Huxin at the first moment; it was almost when Suiyu spoke the third sentence that Mo Chuan sensed something was off. However, by that time, Suiyu had already led Mo Chuan to the backyard. Nalan Mingqing had calculated accurately, knowing that Mo Chuan was not an easy opponent, so he had set up the Bagua Formation in the backyard early on to trap Mo Chuan.
Mo Chuan managed to break free from the formation after a stick of incense, but Nalan Mingqing had already taken the Blood-Calling Insect, and Sui Feng and Suiyu were desperately trying to hold Mo Chuan back for the safety of their master.
Both Sui Feng and Suiyu were severely injured but were fighting with a fierce determination.
Throughout this ordeal, they had been chased and forced to sleep outdoors. Although they were exhausted, at this critical moment concerning their master's life and death, they unleashed an unimaginable potential and managed to hold Mo Chuan back.
"Hmph! You little wretch! Even if you call upon the King of Hell now, it won't help!" Nalan Pingtian gritted her teeth and said smugly, glancing sideways at Xia Jinzhi. The excitement and pride were evident in both mother and daughter's eyes.
Seeing Xia Jinzhi about to leave, Qing Yan disregarded her own injuries and stood up to block Xia Jinzhi from exiting.
Qing Yan understood very well what Xia Jinzhi's intentions were.
If Xia Jinzhi brought others in, Huxin's reputation would be completely ruined.
"Someone! Drag this insolent little wretch out and beat her to death! She can't even protect her own master, and such a scandalous scene appears in the bedroom—this kind of servant should be beaten to death! Keeping her around is just a disaster for the master!"
With Ouyang Pingtian's sharp and triumphant voice, two maids who had come with her immediately stepped forward, one on each side to restrain Qing Yan.
"You want to ruin Miss's reputation! You won't succeed! Miss! Please wake up! Qing Yan will protect your reputation even if it costs her life!"
Qing Yan ignored the blood on her face and kicked away the two maids who approached her.
Qing Yan also had martial arts skills, but Xiahou had instructed her not to reveal her abilities unless absolutely necessary while near Huxin. Now, however, Qing Yan could no longer care about that.
"You wretched girl! You've gone too far! How dare you fight back!!" Ouyang Pingtian exclaimed as she saw her two maids being kicked out of the room by Qing Yan. She raised her hand to slap Qing Yan across the face.
"Miss, please wake up!" Qing Yan completely disregarded the impending slap and rushed toward Huxin's bedside.
Ouyang Pingtian slapped Qing Yan on the back of her head. Seeing that Qing Yan was still running forward without realizing the pain, Xia Jinzhi stepped forward and tightly grabbed Qing Yan's sleeve.
"Mother, quickly knock this wretch out with a vase!" Xia Jinzhi was always scheming; despite appearing innocent and pitiful on most days, she was secretly plotting behind the scenes.
"Daughter! Hold her tight; I'll take action right away!" Ouyang Pingtian said as she ran toward the door. Behind the door was a one-foot-tall blue-and-white porcelain vase. Ouyang Pingtian picked it up and smashed it down toward Qing Yan's head.
Xia Jinzhi held onto Qing Yan's sleeve tightly; she realized she had found the best opportunity to bring down Xia Huxin. She had waited so many years for this day.
In the past, Xia Huxin chased after Jing Tian'ao, making so many ridiculous and infatuated gestures that it completely ruined the Xia Family's reputation, yet she still failed to send her to hell, instead allowing her to turn the tables inexplicably.
For Xia Jinzhi, the most terrifying thing was not Jing Tian'ao's change in attitude, because Jing Tian'ao had always been Xia Jinzhi's superficial pursuit. What she was truly concerned about, and what she could not let anyone know, was actually Liu Yuren, who had just returned!
No one knew when Xia Jinzhi's feelings for Liu Yuren had been planted!
Even fewer would understand how repressed and painful it was for her to show admiration for Jing Tian'ao on the surface while her heart had long been buried with Liu Yuren.
When she heard that Liu Yuren was going to live in Xia Huxin's courtyard, this news undoubtedly buried her heart alive.
So early this morning, when someone secretly sent word that there was trouble in Xia Huxin's courtyard and that Mo Chuan, who was guarding the courtyard, had been transferred away early, Xia Jinzhi had to use a lot of persuasion to convince her mother to come with her.
After yesterday's events, her mother and the other aunties of the Xia Family were extremely wary of Xia Huxin. Everyone knew Xia Yingba's temper; no one dared to stir up trouble at this critical moment.
Now, Xia Jinzhi felt that she had indeed encountered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Perhaps the person secretly helping her was the benefactor who had sent her the Colorful Cloud Garment yesterday!
She, Xia Jinzhi, had been suppressed by the useless Xia Huxin for over ten years and was finally about to rise!
Xia Jinzhi looked at Huxin lying motionless on the bed, her eyes filled with deep hatred and a sense of vengeful pleasure.
