Liang Siqian, filled with sorrow, pointed at Liang Huiting and cried out,
"Everything that happened yesterday, if it weren't for her, Liang Huiting, encouraging me to provoke Xia Huxin at the Xia Family, and urging me to snatch the Vajra Furnace when Xia Huxin took it out, how could things have turned out this way? Xia Huxin repeatedly reminded me of the power of the Vajra Furnace; it was Liang Huiting who bullied Xia Huxin so much that she didn't take it seriously! For all these years, my sister has always played the role of a virtuous and graceful person in front of others, but what about behind closed doors? She has insulted and threatened Xia Huxin countless times. Now that she sees me like this, not only does she show no sympathy or sisterly love, but she also leaves me on the street for others to point and laugh at like a monkey! I do not have such a sister! I will no longer cover up any of Liang Huiting's disgraceful deeds! Yesterday's incident was indeed instigated by both of us sisters! It was I who insisted on snatching that Vajra Furnace that led to... sob sob sob! That led to my hand being ruined! It has nothing to do with Xia Huxin! Nothing... it was Liang Huiting who framed me... vile woman!"
By the end of her speech, Liang Siqian was already in tears, and the onlookers gasped in disbelief as they looked at Liang Huiting and then at the innocent-looking Huxin standing there.
"Father! Daughter... daughter can no longer say anything else. I have always believed that justice resides in people's hearts. For so many years, I have been slandered by those with ulterior motives and misunderstood by the public. I have been able to smile through it all because I believe that the innocent will clear their name! Being born into the Xia Family, every word and action of mine represents a daughter of the Xia Family! Those who have slandered me, bullied me, insulted me, laughed at me, belittled me, demeaned me, wronged me, and deceived me are all just past clouds of smoke. I must rise above the mud without being stained and remain pure without being seductive, always remembering the virtues and integrity of a daughter of the Xia Family! But the one thing I cannot tolerate is my father's doubt and abandonment towards me!"
After finishing her words, Huxin stepped forward to Xia Yingba. Her slender figure appeared so fragile, and her expression was soft and innocent.
Dressed in elegant blue attire, Huxin looked like a blue lotus that had been splashed with dirty water; although she had just weathered a storm and removed the stains from her body, the flower itself had suffered a tremendous blow, evoking a sense of pity. Coupled with her bright and clear eyes staring unblinkingly at Xia Yingba, anyone would believe how much injustice Xia Huxin had endured over the years and how great her mental pressure had been.
Suddenly, sympathy for Huxin's plight surged among the onlookers on both sides of the street.
Xia Yingba was taken aback; his once rigid features softened slightly as he looked at Huxin approaching him, vaguely seeing the woman etched in his heart eighteen years ago.
"Father! Do you believe in your daughter?" Huxin looked at Xia Yingba with tear-filled eyes. Her pitiful demeanor moved Butler Gu behind Xia Yingba to tears. How many years had they waited for Miss to finally awaken?
Xia Yingba felt a dryness in his throat; an indescribable sense of oppression surged within him. Staring into Huxin's tear-filled eyes, he found himself unable to speak for a long time.
If Xia Yingba did not nod his head, Huxin's performance could not continue.
Inside the palanquin sat someone savoring fragrant tea; their movements paused slightly. The unparalleled beauty under the morning light and glass reflected an enchanting aura. A faint smile gradually spread across their lips.
"Huxin's Beloved Disciple has suffered such unjust grievances over the years, yet has passed them with a kind heart, not holding grudges or counting scores. Such behavior truly makes all men in the world feel inferior! Compared to some who outwardly speak of benevolence and morality while holding noble status but are actually cold and cruel, it is simply worlds apart! Now that the truth is revealed, how could Xiahou not trust his own daughter?"
Liu Yuren spoke on behalf of Xia Yingba, and that remark about some who outwardly speak of benevolence and morality while holding noble status but are actually cold and cruel clearly referred to Jing Tian'ao!
