Chapter 1257 - 395: Protecting, One Family
Just then, the distant sounds of suonas and firecrackers indicated the wedding procession had returned.
She could not afford to continue wasting time here. Mo Yan, under the cover of her sleeve, took out a bottle of wound medicine and said to Madam Hu, whose face was full of anger, "Lady, please use this wound medicine on your daughter first. After my father has completed the wedding ceremony, I, the County Lord, will treat your daughter personally."
However, Mo Yan’s kind gesture did not win over Madam Hu’s understanding. Madam Hu forcefully pushed away Mo Yan’s hand and blocked her way, not allowing her to leave, "I must be forgiven for my motherly concern. If the County Lord does not give an explanation, I’m afraid you shall not witness the wedding ceremony today."
Seeing the domineering Madam Hu, and then glancing at the silent Sir Hu, Mo Yan finally understood why the not yet thirteen-year-old Miss Hu was so presumptuous and unreasonable.
A fine young lady had been raised to behave in such a way, and now, under the vast sky and in front of so many onlookers, her reputation would surely be ruined. It was regrettable that these two seemingly astute adults were actually foolish, insisting on demanding an explanation at this time. Did they really think that if she gave an explanation, it would restore their daughter’s reputation?
Mo Yan shook her head inwardly and said coolly to the couple, "It is as I said before. My sister is at fault, but your daughter’s instigation and greater wrongdoing came first! Since she has been injured by my sister, I shall treat her personally on my sister’s behalf to ensure her face is restored to its original state. However, your daughter must apologize publicly to my sister."
The young lady’s facial injuries were severe, and without the Spirit Spring Water and the medicinal herbs from Space, her beauty would surely be ruined. A woman’s appearance is of utmost importance; even if this beating was deserved, the cost of disfigurement was too great.
"What? The injured apologizes to the one who inflicted the injury? Where is the logic in that?" Upon hearing this, Madam Hu immediately started complaining dissatisfiedly, "Princess Hejia, even if you are a County Lord personally ennobled by The Emperor and outrank everyone here, you cannot be so biased towards your own sister. The Hu Family will not be bullied easily!"
Hearing this, Mo Yan’s face turned cold, and she replied with a sneer, "Is the Lady threatening me, the County Lord?"
