Chapter 1196 - 1195: Instigate
Wei An, scolded by Sister Xinwu, lifted his head with red-rimmed eyes, looking at her aggrievedly.
Everyone around, moved by his appearance, couldn’t help but interject, "Xin Wu, you’re all grown up, how old is Wei An? Should an adult really be quibbling with a child like this?"
Sister Xinwu was furiously enraged, "I’m quibbling? You all are really funny, who randomly came into my house acting all high and mighty and oppressive?"
Sister Xinwu’s words could be said to be a sweeping attack. Most of the neighbors had been there for many years, many older and more senior than Xin Wu. Now, put in their place by her, they were embarrassed to respond.
The atmosphere at the scene immediately turned awkward, with some feeling they might indeed have been meddling too much. Wei An was known for causing trouble in the courtyard, and usually they wouldn’t have engaged in such spectacle.
It was unclear what had happened today that even their stances had changed with just a cry and a few words from Wei An.
Moreover, most felt that Sister Xinwu was disrespectful to her elders, severely lacking in manners.
Now, everyone standing in Huo’s Courtyard looked at Sister Xinwu with eyes filled with blame and disappointment.
This made Sister Xinwu feel unbearably stifled, regretting her words. It seemed she had been influenced by her little uncle; she had forgotten to measure her words, which would have gone unchallenged had they come from her uncle.
