As soon as Liu Yuren spoke, the onlooking citizens expressed immense sympathy and sighs for Huxin's plight.
After all, the general who had guarded the Border Defense for fifteen years without returning had no familial ties to Xia Huxin and no reason to speak up for someone with a notorious past like hers. Moreover, the general was well-known for his fairness and integrity at the Border Defense, with a disciplined army that strictly adhered to their duties, earning the people's trust.
When Liu Yuren opened his mouth, how could the crowd doubt him?
Seeing that the time was right, Huxin raised her hand to wipe her eyes, which were not even wet, and spoke with a tone of relief,
"Today, I, Huxin, find myself cornered. If I do not speak up for myself now, I fear it will tarnish the reputation of the Xia Family. The world has always thought that I, Xia Huxin, am infatuated with Prince Ping and would marry no one else! Therefore, today I vow here before everyone to clarify my stance and restore my honor, as well as silence the gossip!
From beginning to end, I have never harbored any romantic feelings for Prince Ping, nor have I ever admired him! When I was misunderstood and slandered, Prince Ping did not extend a helping hand or utter a single fair word! I can endure what others cannot; how could I possibly be moved by someone so indifferent? Everyone has their own aspirations; what others see as mountains of gold are worthless in my eyes! I mean what I say!"
After finishing her speech, Huxin turned and cast a faint glance at Jing Tian'ao, whose face was ashen. It was just a fleeting glance, but anyone could see that Huxin was utterly indifferent towards Jing Tian'ao. This indifference felt like a sharp knife piercing Jing Tian'ao's heart, causing him deep anguish.
He was the pride of the Vast Continent, accustomed to receiving admiration and awe from numerous young ladies from noble families. Never had he experienced such disdain before! Especially from Xia Huxin, whom he had once despised!
Xia Yingba stared blankly at Huxin for a moment; after all these years, it was only today that he felt this daughter resembled one born of him and Qingqing!
Seeing Xia Yingba lost in thought and speechless, Huxin playfully winked at him, signaling him not to get too caught up in the drama. Her lively expression made Xia Yingba's bewilderment even more apparent. Butler Gu had yet to wipe away his tears of emotion when he was stunned by Huxin's playful gesture.
Could it be that what Miss said earlier was all an act? This... this means her acting skills surpass even those of the master by countless levels!
Once Xia Yingba regained his composure, he glared at Huxin with wide eyes and huffed angrily. If it weren't for so many people watching on both sides, Huxin was sure that Xia Yingba would have picked her up and thrown her into the Xia Family!
"Sister Huxin what you said today, I Xuan Yuan Ling am willing to be a witness!" The usually silent Xuan Yuan Ling raised a rebellious smile and spoke clearly.
As soon as he spoke, the surrounding crowd stepped back several paces, fearing that this Mad Prince might suddenly go mad and harm these innocent people. After all, many had witnessed Xuan Yuan Ling's breakdown on the streets of the capital a few years ago.
Huxin couldn't help but feel more curious about how terrifying Xuan Yuan Ling had been during his madness, which caused everyone to retreat so hastily.
"Xuan Yuan Heir, today's matter no longer requires anyone to testify. My daughter has a saying: justice lies in the hearts of the people! The second daughter of the Liang Family has a heart of a snake and scorpion and has received her due punishment. As for Liang Huiting, I will leave that to the Liang Family to handle. And regarding Consort Mei..." Xia Yingba suddenly paused when mentioning Consort Mei, glancing at Huxin with flickering eyes.
Clearly, he intended to hand over the authority to deal with Consort Mei to Huxin.
Huxin thought for a moment and said loudly, "Consort Mei saw her niece injured and indiscriminately tried to take Huxin away for questioning. Furthermore, she used armed guards within the family courtyard. I, Huxin, being timid and facing such injustice, naturally had to resist. When the princess and Consort Mei pulled at me, they collided and were injured; it was entirely out of my control. Since the consort came here on orders from the Empress Dowager, it would not be appropriate to hand her over to the Empress Dowager. Instead... let us place her in the Secret Prison of the Xuanyuan Family, and then ask the Emperor to decide!"
As soon as Huxin finished speaking, Consort Mei's already pale face turned completely transparent.
