Chapter 111 The Princess Royal Appears Suddenly and Helps Out (2/2)
”Old Madam, Sirong has already been hurt so badly. Is this not enough that her reputation has to be smeared as well? Do you want to force her to death? Miss Mo is really precious, she has done something like this and still wants to force others to their death. Could it be that the Mo family has no regards for the rules at all?” Mdm Chen gritted her teeth and was insistent on pinning the fault on Mo Xuetong. There was no way to end the matter amicably today. It would end with either Mo Xuetong's reputation being ruined or the Yu family's reputation being smeared.
Mo Xuetong swept her eyes across Mdm Chen coldly as well as Mdm Yu, who planned not to help either party but remained neutral. Then, she glanced at Yu Sirong, who was crying sadly and in desperation on Mdm Chen. A cold smile appeared on her lips.
”Mdm Yu, are you implying that I want to force Miss Yu to death if I don't admit to pus.h.i.+ng her? Miss Yu, do you really think that I was behind you just now?”
Yu Sirong looked up when she heard what Mo Xuetong said. ”How could I not know when I was standing there earlier? Am I that stupid to not even know whether you were the one to push me? Am I blind?”
”Tong'er, do you have proof?” Mdm Qin said with a grave expression.
Mo Xuetong smiled and said coldly and elegantly, ”Grandaunt, do you really think that I have no proof? What if I have both eyewitness and physical proof?” Mo Xuetong spoke slowly with a neutral expression, seeming very natural. However, this shocked the crowd.
”Impossible. You can't possibly have evidence. There was no one there, so you don't have an eyewitness.” Yu Sirong was stunned and she suddenly yelled madly.
”How would you know that there isn't? If you had not set up everything, would you dare to swear that I was behind you earlier? The mark where you fell and slid past is still there. Is that not physical evidence? Miss Yu, you set up everything and wanted to get rid of the marks after I got hurt. However, you did not expect to knock into the mountain yourself and did not have time to get rid of those skid marks, right? Everyone would know once they see it. There is no need to defend yourself.” Mo Xuetong smiled while enunciating every word clearly. Her smile was innocent, but looked frosty to Yu Sirong.
The marks, the marks. How could she forget those marks! Her limbs turned cold in an instant! That patch on the ground was dry and soft. There were many fallen leaves on it. There would definitely be skid marks on it when she fell over. Mo Xuetong was in front of her, so there would definitely not be any marks behind her. The two marks were there, and they proved that she was lying.
Yu Sirong felt as if she had been scalded by a meteorite. She started shaking.
”It has been some time since Sirong got injured. Since the crafty Miss Mo has thought of all that, does she have time to set things up as well as use it as evidence? There are so many gaping holes in this.” Mdm Chen knew that they were in trouble and started to panic. She could only grit her teeth and deny to the end.
The Yu family were really shameless. They were determined not to admit to plotting against Mo Xuetong!
Mdm Qin coughed lightly. Just as she was about to speak, someone beside her spoke, ”I wonder if I would be able to count as eyewitness if I were willing to speak up? Would this be something Miss Mo planned as well?”
The crowd parted and a woman appeared. She was dressed in a deep purple satin dress with b.u.t.terflies sewn into it. She wore a piece of jade tied on her waist with a jade green sash. There was a long silk embroidered light purple satin strap that twisted up her forearm. Her long dark hair was combed back into an elegant bun. Her neck was pale and slender and she looked to be in her 20s. However, when one looked closely, she seemed to be slightly older. Her eyes shone brilliantly and her disposition was n.o.ble and elegant.
She was flawless and elegant.
”And this madam is?” Mdm Qn frowned and her eyes landed on the jade pendant hanging from the woman's waist. She suddenly thought of something and her expression changed, becoming more respectful.
Mo Xuetong took two steps back and hung her head. It was the Princess Royal!
”Old Madam, you don't have to care who I am. I was walking by then and I did see Miss Yu asking Miss Mo to go look at the black bamboos. Then, Miss Yu turned behind Miss Mo and tried to knock her down forcefully. Miss Mo seemed to have realized it and wanted to dodge. However, she tripped on something and fell. Miss Yu sped by her and slammed into the fake mountain. I believe that everyone knows what happened after that.” The Princess Royal swept her eyes upon everyone present. Her gaze landed on Mo Xuetong's face and she smiled gently.
”You're bulls.h.i.+tting. You didn't see anything. It's impossible for anyone to be there. I already told the servants to keep watch...” Yu Sirong ignored the injury on her face in her panic and started to yell. She did not expect that someone would defend Mo Xuetong and she started to scream madly.
Before she could complete her sentence, her eyes widened...
What else was there to say! Everyone looked at Mdm Chen and her daughter with disdain.
Mdm Chen had recalled the Princess Royal's status then and did not dare to talk back. She shook and seemed as if she was about to kneel down.
”Mdm Chen, it is alright to give in to your daughter but there is no need to raise her to be so vicious. She has hurt others and herself and still does not know what she has done wrong. Will she only stop when she implicates the entire Yu Manor?” The Princess Royal glanced at her coldly, stopping her from kneeling. She had only come out to take a walk and did not want everyone to find out.
