Huxin appeared calm on the surface, but deep down, she looked down on Liu Yuren.
This person not only had a deep mastery of internal skills but also carried himself with such arrogance. Every time he made an appearance, it was shrouded in mystery; one could only hear his voice without seeing him. Now, he even came up with a Mind Transmission, acting as if he were something extraordinary.
Beside Huxin, Jing Tian'ao narrowed his cold, piercing eyes and stared at her. His gaze seemed sharp enough to cut through her, wanting to see into her heart and understand what she was thinking.
In the past, wherever Jing Tian'ao appeared, Xia Huxin would desperately push forward, always looking like a lovesick admirer chasing after him. But today, she hadn't even glanced at him! Did this woman truly let go? He didn't believe it! Absolutely not!
How could he believe that his abilities as Jing Tian'ao were insufficient to control the heart of a mere Xia Huxin?
At this moment, Liang Huiting exaggeratedly recounted what had just happened in front of everyone, making her earlier comments about Huxin even more malicious. She practically painted Huxin as a murderous female demon.
Huxin couldn't help but narrow her clear eyes, looking at Liang Huiting with a cold and unyielding gaze.
“Liang Huiting, according to what you said, you came here to seek justice for your sister Liang Siqian, right?” The seemingly harmless question from Huxin made Liang Huiting even more smug, thinking that Huxin was at a loss. Meanwhile, beside her, Xia Jinzhi cautiously tugged at her sleeve, but Liang Huiting was too absorbed in her own triumph to care about Xia Jinzhi's concern.
“Of course I came to seek justice for my sister! And this is also Si Qian's own wish! When Si Qian woke up before, she repeatedly instructed me not to worry about her face and insisted that I must bring you, Xia Huxin, to justice and expose your evil deeds to the world! Let everyone see just how venomous you are! At first, I didn’t want Si Qian to appear in front of everyone like this; after all... doing so would ruin her life. But since Si Qian insisted on this course of action, saying that sacrificing her life was worth it as long as the truth could be revealed to the world! As her sister, what could I say? Boohoo... My sister is so understanding; it breaks my heart... But now that it's my sister's wish, I must help her fulfill it no matter what! I can't let you, Xia Huxin, get away with this! Boohoo…”
As Liang Huiting reached the end of her speech, trying to show off the deep sisterly bond with Liang Siqian, she even walked over to where Si Qian lay and pretended to shed crocodile tears while wiping her eyes.
At that moment, the tightly closed eyes of Si Qian suddenly opened wide. Her bloodshot eyes fixed intently on Liang Huiting.
“Ah!! Oh my!” Startled by the sudden gaze from the now-awake Si Qian, Liang Huiting stumbled backward and fell heavily to the ground, her face pale as she looked at Liang Siqian.
Huxin took two steps forward, scanning the expressions of the onlookers, and then said calmly,
"Liang Huiting, weren't you and Liang Siqian close sisters? If your bond is so deep, why are you afraid? Now that Liang Siqian has woken up, isn't she the perfect witness for you? What are you scared of?"
As Huxin's words fell, Liang Siqian's hoarse voice burst forth impatiently from her throat,
"Liang Huiting! I, Liang Siqian, do not have a sister like you! You shameless woman! When did I ever say for you to carry me out to be seen by these commoners? I am the second young lady of the Liang Family; how could I demean myself like this?! You let me suffer humiliation for your own selfish desires! Shameless woman! I will not let you go! I will kill you!"
At that moment, Liang Siqian's expression was twisted with rage, resembling a vengeful spirit. In her eyes, Liang Huiting was her greatest enemy! She wished nothing more than to tear her apart!
The hairpin that Huxin had just flicked had struck precisely at Liang Huiting's awakening acupoint. Before it was fully released, Liang Siqian could clearly hear what was being said outside while appearing as if she were still asleep. Everyone's attention had been focused on Liang Huiting, so naturally no one noticed that Liang Siqian had been hit with an acupoint. By the time Liang Siqian broke free from the acupoint, it was too late for Liang Huiting to salvage anything.
"You, you, what are you babbling about? Have you gone mad? Liang Siqian, you clearly asked me as your sister to carry you out to seek justice for you; are you sick in the head? And now you're accusing me! You're even cursing at me!" Liang Huiting was now both shocked and frightened. She could never have imagined that Liang Siqian would wake up at this critical moment and hear everything she had said before.
Did Consort Mei not send the Imperial Physician to check on her before coming? He said Siqian would be unconscious for at least two days before waking up! What is going on?
Liang Huiting looked at Consort Mei beside her in confusion.
