Chapter 163: Harming Others Instead of Harming Yourself
"Shiya? Shiya, are you okay?"
Xu Lewan also became anxious, and rushed over in two or three steps. She saw that the person lying on the ground had a blue and purple face, his eyes were wide open, and he kept scratching his neck with his hands.
It turned out that this girl was none other than her husband's sister-in-law, Luo Shiya. This was the precious daughter that her mother-in-law, Mrs. Luo, gave birth to after she gave birth to four sons in a row. She was extremely favored in the Luo family.
The three girls next to them were not outsiders either. They were all illegitimate daughters of the Luo family and the half sisters of Xu Lewan’s husband. On weekdays, they were like Luo Shiya’s little maids and followed her around all day long.
Seeing that something had happened to Luo Shiya, the three concubine daughters of the Luo family were also frightened. If their stepmother knew about this, she would definitely kill them.
"Wuwuwu...Sister-in-law, why are you so cruel?"
A taller woman covered her face and started crying, staring at Xu Lewan with resentment while crying.
She is the second daughter of the Luo family, Luo Shiyun. She was born to a maid who served Mrs. Luo, and was later raised by Mrs. Luo.
"As the eldest sister-in-law, not only did you not take care of your younger sisters, you also teamed up with outsiders to hurt your eldest sister. Now that your eldest sister has become like this, what should we do..."
While crying, Luo Shiyun secretly winked at the other two girls. The two girls immediately understood and ignored Luo Shiya who was still struggling on the ground. They all rushed to Xu Lewan and grabbed her arms.
"Sister-in-law, it was you guys who caused the accident that happened to my elder sister today. You should go and explain to mother yourself."
"It was all that bitch's fault. She was the only outsider here. She must have been jealous of my big sister's beauty, so she wanted to harm me..."
Several women surrounded Xu Lewan, chattering. After a shove, a jade hairpin on her head fell to the ground, making a crisp sound, and then broke into two pieces.
"Let go quickly, let me see what's going on with Shi Ya first..."
Xu Lewan didn't have the leisure to feel sorry for her jade hairpin at this moment. She kept trying to pull herself away to look at Luo Shiya lying on the ground, but she was tightly entangled by the three girls and couldn't get away.
These things happened in the blink of an eye. Xu Leyao glanced at Yuxiu beside her with complicated thoughts, but she didn't say anything. She stood up and went to help her sister out of the situation.
"What are you doing? It's more important to save people first..."
Xu Leyao stepped forward and scolded them, but those people pretended not to hear and did not let go. They surrounded Xu Lewan and made even more noise.
Yuxiu watched the show from the side and saw through the little tricks of these people clearly. She sneered and walked quickly to Luo Shiya.
"Uh……"
Luo Shiya's face looked extremely ugly, and her delicate neck was covered with bloody marks from being scratched by sharp nails. When she saw Yuxiu coming to her, tears flowed from her wide-open eyes.
Maids and old women in the distance had already noticed the accident and were running over shouting.
Yuxiu did not delay any longer. She grabbed Luo Shiya's collar and lifted her up. Then she laid her on her legs and slapped her on the back of her neck with her palm.
"What are you doing! Put my daughter down now!"
A shrill roar came from a distance. At the same time, the piece of pastry in Luo Shiya's throat was finally spit out. There was still a trace of blood on the snow-white pastry.
As footsteps sounded, a group of beautifully dressed ladies came over, led by Princess Ning, the host of today's banquet.
She frowned and looked at the messy scene in front of her, finally her gaze fell on Yuxiu and she smiled with a complicated expression.
"Who can tell me what's going on?"
Princess Ning looked at Xu Leyao and her sister with a questioning look in her eyes.
"Oh my son..."
Mrs. Luo had already rushed to Luo Shiya's side, crying and shouting. She grabbed Luo Shiya's arm and held her in her arms. Seeing that her precious daughter's face was very pale and she was gasping for breath with her mouth open, she became very anxious and turned around to glare at Yuxiu fiercely.
Who knows whose child this little girl is? How dare she lay hands on her precious daughter? She will definitely not let her off.
"Wuwuwu... Mother, it's all her fault. She wanted to kill my elder sister..."
A trace of annoyance flashed across Luo Shiyun's eyes. She shouted at the top of her voice, threw herself to Mrs. Luo's side, and began to cry.
"Mother, I don't know where this little girl came from. She is so vicious..."
"Thank goodness you came in time, mother, otherwise all my sisters and I would have to go and accompany our eldest sister, wuwuwu..."
The third daughter of the Luo family, Luo Shiyu, and the fourth daughter, Luo Shiqi, both ran over crying and surrounded Mrs. Luo, crying and complaining.
Mrs. Luo held her limp daughter in her arms, and with the help of several concubines, she was so angry that she was about to burst out.
When she looked again and saw Yuxiu standing aside as if nothing had happened, she became even angrier. Just as she was about to ask a question, she was interrupted by Princess Ning.
"The court doctor is here. Help Miss Luo sit down and let the court doctor treat her thoroughly."
She had just heard from the Xu Leyao and her sister what had happened. She heard that it was Miss Luo who was asking for trouble by wanting to kick the cake towards Yuxiu in the pavilion.
Unexpectedly, it was such a coincidence that the pastry might have hit the stone pillar beside the pavilion and bounced back into her mouth, where it accidentally got stuck in her throat. She almost choked to death and her face turned black.
It turns out that the girl from the Luo family wanted to harm others but ended up harming herself, and in the end others had to come forward to rescue her.
From what these girls from the Luo family said, they actually wanted to put the blame of everything on Yuxiu. They were just picking on the weak ones, but they didn't consider that the other person might not be a weak one but a hard rock.
Even though Mrs. Luo was extremely angry, she had to suppress her anger for the sake of her daughter's health. She helped Luo Shiya to sit down in the pavilion, and then asked the court doctor to come and take her pulse.
"Miss, there was something stuck in your throat, but fortunately, the treatment was timely and the thing has been taken out, so there is nothing serious."
The court doctor had just listened to Xu Leyao's story. After taking her pulse, he looked at Luo Shiya's complexion and wrote down a prescription on the spot.
"Miss, since your throat is injured, please don't speak for the time being. Drink a dose of medicine and you should be able to recover."
Mrs. Luo's originally anxious mood also improved a little. Thinking about the girl hitting her daughter's neck when she came here just now, she hurriedly asked what happened.
