Liu Xuxin saw her face, and the previously aggrieved look in her eyes instantly turned fierce. The corners of her mouth curled into an evil grin, resembling a wolf, filled with wicked thoughts.
"Hahaha, you Demoness! Your face is ruined! Let's see how you seduce my cousin now! Demoness!" This was the first time she had cast aside her gentle demeanor and behaved so rudely in front of others.
Not only Xinrong was surprised, but even Cui Er was taken aback. When had she ever seen her young lady act so barbarically in public? No matter how angry she felt in Yancheng, she could always hold it together. What was going on today?
Instinctively reaching to grab her wrist, she was violently shaken off. "Get lost! What are you pretending to be a good person for? Aren't you just like them, laughing at me in your heart? Do you really think I don't know?" She seemed to have gone mad, snapping at anyone who came near.
All the frustration she had suffered from the men was unleashed onto Cui Er at that moment. Her hands struck relentlessly against Cui Er, showing no mercy, as if trying to beat her to death.
Cui Er dared not make a sound, biting her lips tightly to suppress any noise, fearing it would further enrage the woman.
Seeing this scene, Night Star furrowed his brows even tighter. He was not surprised by Liu Xuxin's actions; he had known from the first glance that this woman was incredibly hypocritical. He just hadn't expected that a woman who usually cared about her image would behave so absurdly at this moment.
However, he remained silent. After all, she was hitting her own maid; as long as it wasn't Mo Xier, it didn't concern him whom she chose to hit.
"Enough." Mo Xier's cold voice rang out. The bloodstains on her face were still bright red as she looked down at the person on the ground with a hint of pity. "Liu Xuxin, this is all you amount to."
Her mocking words were like stones thrown into calm water, instantly creating ripples. Liu Xuxin's eyes widened as she struggled to get up from the ground but kept failing. Her once splendid dress was now filthy.
"What right do you have to say that to me!"
With a light laugh, Mo Xier's eyes were filled with indifference. "Right?" She suddenly grabbed Night Star's hand and raised her voice dramatically, saying, "Just because the man you like is here supporting me while you can only sit on the ground being helped by a maid!"
Before Liu Xuxin could respond, she continued, "Just because I have someone comforting me while you fall on the ground and hurt your hand without anyone noticing. You can only vent your anger on your maid!"
Liu Xuxin was further enraged by these words; the resentment in her heart felt like it had nowhere to go. All eyes were focused on her injured palm, which indeed was covered in bloodstains, almost dyeing her skirt red.
If it weren't for the woman's mention of it, no one might have noticed. Tears fell uncontrollably; Liu Xuxin felt no joy at having her injury discovered—only endless resentment filled her heart.
Ignoring Night Star's objections, she slowly approached and crouched down beside her, raising an eyebrow. Every movement was filled with charm, resembling a white fox.
Gently lifting her chin, she softly said, "Is it worth fighting so fiercely over a man who doesn't love you? Or do you think you have what it takes to compete with me?" Her gaze was fixed on her, filled with disdain.
Shaking off her grip forcefully, Liu Xuxin glared at her with hatred and spat, "I don't need your kind words! My cousin is merely bewitched by you; it's disgusting!"
In her view, Mo Xier's words in front of everyone were merely meant to mock her! It was not an encouragement to let go!
Those words were Mo Xier's true feelings; it was just that others couldn't accept them. She couldn't help it if kindness was mistaken for malice; no one could stop that.
Delicately touching her injured face, the smile on her lips grew wider. "You hit me today, but so what? This little injury won't leave a scar, and I can use it to play the victim and gain sympathy from the stars. Who do you think is really at a disadvantage here?"
Her triumphant smile became increasingly irritating. Liu Xuxin seized the moment to raise her hand again, but this time there was no opportunity; before she could lift it, Mo Xier firmly pressed it down!
She forcefully pressed Liu Xuxin's wounded hand against the ground, grinding it relentlessly. A fierce glint shone in her eyes like that of a wolf! She would never show mercy to anyone who sought to harm her!
"I warn you, you hit me once because I was unguarded. But I will not give you a second chance. If it happens again, think carefully about the consequences—are they something you can bear?"
Her tone was unusually gentle, yet the words were chilling threats. The smile on her face did not reach her eyes, instilling deep fear in Liu Xuxin, making her oblivious to the pain in her hand.
Only now did she realize she had never truly seen this woman clearly!
At their first meeting, she thought Mo Xier was merely a woman seeking power and wealth but was sorely disappointed. The second time, she believed that without Old Madam's support, she could not stay long in the General's residence—but once again, she was let down.
Until now, this seemingly easygoing woman without any schemes had been holding onto Night Star's heart! She had never given Liu Xuxin a chance to intrude! She had underestimated this Demoness!
"Think carefully for yourself. I hope next time we meet, you won't be as foolish as you are now!" She chuckled lightly and then turned back to Night Star.
Linking arms with Night Star, she no longer glanced at the person on the ground and spoke with cold indifference. "Let's go; there's no point in staying here and getting worked up over someone like this."
However, the man remained rooted in place, his cold gaze still fixed on the person on the ground. The chill in his eyes had not faded; instead, it deepened further.
"Are you really going to let her go just like that? She hurt your face." The man's words were filled with confusion, as if he couldn't understand why she would be let off so easily. If it were him, with his vengeful nature, he definitely wouldn't allow her to escape so effortlessly today!
Looking pityingly at the woman on the ground, Mo Xier directly released his wrist and said softly, "She is already pitiful enough; I don't need to make her even more miserable. Just this way, she will be laughed at by everyone, and others will praise me for my generosity. What's wrong with that?"
After saying this, Mo Xier showed no reluctance and walked away.
Xinrong glanced at the man and quickly followed in her footsteps.
Night Star stared at the woman on the ground for a long time before slowly following the steps of the person in front. This time, he decided to heed the woman's words and no longer pursue Liu Xuxin's responsibility.
The crowd quickly dispersed, and in just a moment, the once lively garden fell silent, leaving only Liu Xuxin and Cui Er, who were still crying on the ground.
The two of them sat on the ground, and the scene appeared very desolate and lonely.
After the man left, her cries grew softer until they faded into a stiff expression with no emotion.
Cui Er watched from the side, increasingly worried. The more her lady displayed such a demeanor, the more it indicated that she was feeling very upset.
Kneeling down to move closer, she gently held her hand and said, "Miss, it's cold on the ground; you should get up. No matter how sad you feel inside, you can't neglect your own health!"
Unexpectedly, Cui Er's words actually had an effect. Unlike before when she was willful, Liu Xuxin didn't even lose her temper this time. She obediently pulled at Cui Er's hand and wobbled to her feet. Even with someone supporting her, she still appeared somewhat unsteady and shaky.
The more compliant she was, the more uncertain Cui Er felt. When had she ever seen such a proud young lady being so approachable? It was as if whatever the servants said went; this would have been absolutely impossible in the past.
Having been mocked like that, if she didn't vent her anger by hitting someone, where would that rage go? Today's unusual behavior left Cui Er's heart restless as if it were beating like a drum.
On the way back to their courtyard while supporting her, she remained anxious, fearing that the woman beside her might suddenly lash out and catch her off guard.
However, her cautiousness turned out to be unnecessary. They returned to their courtyard and sat down without any of the anticipated outbursts occurring.
In her state of unease, Cui Er ultimately couldn't hold back. After helping her sit down, she carefully poured a cup of tea for her and gently asked, "Miss, are you feeling unwell anywhere? If something is bothering you, you must tell your servant!"
However, there was still no response. Like a stone sinking to the bottom of a lake, Liu Xuxin sat there stiffly, seemingly unaffected by everything outside.
Her gaze fell on her injured palm, and Cui Er hurriedly said, "Miss, does your palm hurt? Don't worry, I'll go find a doctor right away. Please bear with it a little longer!"
Yet, there was still no response. After looking again and again, Cui Er gritted her teeth and went out to find a doctor. After all, regardless of whether the woman responded or not, taking care of her was her duty.
Liu Xuxin felt as if she were in a dream. She had gone out for a pleasant walk, only to return to this outcome. No one could accept such a drastic change in emotions.
Her palm gradually tightened, her sharp nails digging deep into the injured area, causing waves of pain, but she was no longer as irritable as before.
Instead, she suppressed her pain, continuously pinching herself as if only by doing so could she deeply remember the humiliation she had suffered. It was as if this way she could constantly remind herself who had made her experience such profound pain.
All her hatred was directed at Mo Xier.
That enchanting smile like a fox, that delicate figure like a willow, floated before her eyes. Her grip tightened until her hands were covered in blood, creating a horrifying sight.
When Cui Er brought the doctor in, what she saw was this scene. Liu Xuxin's face wore an eerie smile, as if she were in another time and space, completely unaware of the injuries on her body.
Seeing this, Cui Er was almost stunned. She rushed forward and forcefully pried open Liu Xuxin's tightly clenched hands, exclaiming with concern, "Miss, what are you doing! Isn't your hand injured? How can you do this! What will happen if such beautiful hands are ruined? Don't waste your hands that can play the piano!"
While Cui Er was shouting anxiously on one side, Liu Xuxin seemed to hear nothing at all. She simply obediently opened her hands and allowed the doctor to apply medicine and wrap her wounds.
