Chapter 109 Shi Yuan's Support
Shi Yuan looked at Shi Xiaoxiao in confusion and asked, "What's going on?"
Shi Xiaoxiao's eyes were filled with tears. She looked at Shi Yuan aggrievedly and showed him the cut on her shoulder.
"Just now, my elder sister came in furious. Perhaps Xiaoxiao didn't treat my elder sister well, so my elder sister took the hairpin and tried to stab Xiaoxiao. Xiaoxiao was so scared that she accidentally hit my elder sister in a hurry. My elder sister wanted to kill Xiaoxiao. Daddy, Xiaoxiao is so scared!"
Shi Wanwan stared at Shi Xiaoxiao with wide eyes.
I thought to myself: How can she be so good at pretending?
Shi Yuan's gaze fell on Shi Wanwan.
Although Shi Wanwan looked in a miserable state, she heard Shi Xiaoxiao say that Shi Wanwan wanted to kill her.
A surge of anger still welled up in Shi Yuan's heart.
Shi Wanwan suddenly fell to her knees, trembling with fear.
"Dad... Dad, it's not like that. Wanwan didn't want to kill her. She hit me first."
Shi Yuan looked at Shi Wanwan with a slightly deep gaze, "You two, mother and daughter, are truly amazing."
He was summoned to the palace by the emperor last night to discuss matters and did not return all night, so he did not know what Qian had done.
It was not until I returned home in the morning that I found out that Qian had dared to make the decision on her own and agreed to the Li family's proposal for Shi Xiaoxiao.
He immediately gritted his teeth in anger.
As an official in the same dynasty, he knew very well what kind of person Li Shilong was.
Qian's move is intended to harm Xiaoxiao for the rest of her life.
When he heard that Shi Wanwan had brought people to Xixiaoyuan, he became even more furious.
They really thought he was dead, and they all bullied Xiaoxiao behind his back.
Shi Yuan looked at Shi Wanwan and Qian who had hurried over with a vicious look.
The old lady walked in slowly.
Song Dai passed the old lady and ran to Shi Xiaoxiao, asking with concern: "Xiaoxiao, are you okay?"
Shi Xiaoxiao no longer looked strong at the moment, and shook her head weakly, "Xiaoxiao is fine, it's just that big sister scared Xiaoxiao."
Song Dai glared at Shi Wanwan angrily, "Miss, I never thought you could be so cruel at such a young age, even harming your own sister."
Shi Wanwan opened her mouth, but since Shi Yuan was here, she didn't dare say anything.
Qian ran up quickly, held Shi Wanwan's face in her hands and blew on it gently with heartache.
Then he looked at Shi Xiaoxiao, "Second Miss, you are so brave. Wanwan is your sister, and you beat her like this. It's simply lawless."
Shi Xiaoxiao shuddered and stood behind Shi Yuan in fear, holding the corner of Shi Yuan's clothes tightly with her hands.
"Daddy, Xiaoxiao is scared!"
Shi Yuan frowned, his eyes fell coldly on Qian, and he patted Shi Xiaoxiao's back to comfort her.
"Don't be afraid, with daddy here, no one can do anything to you."
Qian looked at Shi Xiaoxiao's pretentious appearance.
Almost broke my teeth.
She is really good at pretending. Why didn't she look so timid last night?
Shi Xiaoxiao secretly looked up at her, rolled her eyes mischievously, and stuck out her tongue.
Qian was so angry that her eyes were spitting fire.
In order to protect her daughter, she ignored Shi Yuan's cold expression.
She could only muster up the courage to say, "Prime Minister, are you really going to let the Second Young Lady hurt Wanwan like this? Wanwan is her sister."
Before Shi Yuan could say anything, Song Dai angrily spoke, "Qian, how can you say that? It was clearly the eldest lady who wanted to hurt Xiao Xiao first. How dare you accuse her first and confuse right and wrong?"
Qian was afraid of Shi Yuan but not Song Dai, and immediately started arguing with Song Dai.
"What do you mean the villain is the first to complain? Your daughter hit my daughter, didn't you see? The slap marks on Wanwan's face are so obvious. How can you confuse right and wrong?"
"Do you dare to say no? Look at what she has in her hand? A sharp weapon. What does she want to do? Does she want to scratch Xiaoxiao's face? How can she be so vicious?"
"Don't spit blood and slander. Wanwan only used the hairpin to protect herself. How did she hurt Shi Xiaoxiao? Instead, it was Shi Xiaoxiao who hit Wanwan's face like this. It was clearly Shi Xiaoxiao who bullied Wanwan."
Song Dai pinched her waist, "She was protecting herself. She just held this hairpin against Xiaoxiao. If the Prime Minister hadn't stopped her, Xiaoxiao would have been injured by now. Xiaoxiao hit her to protect herself. Do you think we can't see? Do you think the Prime Minister is blind too?"
Shi Yuan's mouth twitched.
When it comes to quarreling, he is not as good as Song Dai.
So usually when Song Dai was arguing with Qian and couldn't win the argument, he would speak up to support her.
Qian became angrier and angrier, and wanted to say a few more words, but was stopped by the old lady.
"That's enough. It's inappropriate to make such a fuss so early in the morning."
The old lady's face was gloomy and she looked at Shi Xiaoxiao impatiently.
"Can't you just be more quiet? You've been causing trouble all day. Do you have to make the entire Prime Minister's Mansion restless?"
Shi Xiaoxiao shrank her neck.
Song Dai swayed her body and stood in front of Shi Xiaoxiao.
Looking at the old lady unkindly, she said, "If you want to judge the case, please be fair. What do you mean Xiaoxiao is causing trouble? This is Xixiao Courtyard. It was the eldest lady who brought people to bully Xiaoxiao. Why are you so partial?"
The old lady also became angry and pounded the crutch in her hand hard.
"Song, it's because of your indulgence that she is now lawless and no longer looks like a lady from a noble family."
Then he changed his tone and continued, "We in the Prime Minister's Mansion can't take care of her anymore. The Li family will be here soon. Then, we'll send her off to marry!"
Song Dai was shocked when she heard this.
She knew that the Li family was deceived when they came to propose marriage, but she didn't expect that the old lady was also involved.
She refused without hesitation, "Impossible, my Xiaoxiao will never marry someone like that."
Shi Yuan also had a sullen face, his brows furrowed so tightly that he looked as if he could pinch a mosquito to death.
When Qian heard the old lady talk about this, her heart trembled.
She absolutely could not agree to let Shi Xiaoxiao marry him now, so it didn't matter if the plan failed once.
At worst, I can just find a way to clean up Shi Xiaoxiao next time.
But now Shi Xiaoxiao has been angered. What if she exposes Wanwan’s affairs?
Although the old lady did not like Song Dai and Shi Xiaoxiao, she also cared a lot about the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
If I knew about Wanwan's ugly deeds, I would probably hate her from then on.
Without the old lady's support, she and Wanwan would not be able to stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion safely.
Thinking of this, Qian couldn't help but speak weakly, "Mother, I'm afraid this won't work. The Li family member is really not a good choice. Why don't I look for the second young lady again? This time... forget it."
The old lady was stunned when she heard this.
Looking at Qian in surprise.
They had intended to facilitate the Li family's marriage proposal, but now the Qian family has turned against them.
This was something the old lady never expected.
She couldn't help but frown. "How can this be possible? Xiaoxiao has already accepted the betrothal gift. How can I regret it now? Where will the Li family's reputation be?"
Shi Xiaoxiao had been hiding behind Shi Yuan and listening quietly. When she heard this, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
Even the betrothal gift was accepted?
Could it be that they wanted to send her away quietly?
I didn't even think about whether I could withstand Shi Yuan's anger.
Perhaps his hatred for her had reached its peak and he was ready to go all out.
Even if it ended up being unpleasant, at least she was married off.
