Sensing the gaze, Zhao Yanxia cowered, her face innocent. "I only got back half an hour ago, so I have no idea what happened at home."
With everyone saying the same thing, the old lady had no choice but to order the butler to go upstairs and check if Wu Xuerou was in her room.
"Ah~"
A scream echoed from the second floor, and the butler scrambled out of the room.
Everyone downstairs looked up, bewildered at the startled butler.
"What's wrong, rushing around like that?" The old lady looked displeased at the butler tumbling down the stairs.
Ignoring the pain in his body, the butler produced a sheet of white paper, pointed to the second floor with his finger, and stammered, "Second madam, she, she..."
Sensing something was wrong, Di Ruihe pushed aside the servants blocking the staircase and rushed upstairs.
"Xuerou!" Di Ruihe shouted, then yelled towards the door, "Call a doctor, quickly call a doctor!"
Jiang Ziyu embraced Qianqian and quietly observed the flustered crowd before her.
Di Mingjue entered from outside, surveying the chaotic living room. He walked into the room unnoticed.
"What happened?" Di Mingjue asked Jiang Ziyu.
Hearing Di Mingjue's voice, Qianqian moved from Jiang Ziyu's side to in front of Di Mingjue.
"Don't say a word, just watch quietly. You'll know soon enough," Jiang Ziyu cautioned.
Wu Xuerou lay flat on the sofa, her wrist being firmly squeezed by Di Ruihe holding a towel. With the arrival of Dr. Lin, her wrist was bandaged, and the unconscious Wu Xuerou regained consciousness.
Upon seeing Di Ruihe, she reached out, hooked her arms around his neck, and sobbed uncontrollably.
Her painful sobs and Di Ruihe's comforting words echoed in the room.
Once everything stabilized, Jiang Ziyu moved from behind the crowd to stand before Wu Xuerou.
Wu Xuerou clung to Di Ruihe's hand, her cheek hidden behind him, her entire body trembling.
"Second sister-in-law, have you had enough of this drama?" Jiang Ziyu pressed.
Di Ruihe shielded his wife and spoke with displeasure, "Sister-in-law, I don't know what Xuerou did to upset you. But seeing as she's just returned from the brink of death, can you please set aside your unhappiness for now and discuss it after she's recovered?"
She wasn't going to pursue the wrist-slitting incident?
Jiang Ziyu sneered, saw the paper the butler had just taken down, bent down to pick it up, and read the words on it word for word.
After speaking, she retorted to Wu Xuerou, "Was it truly an accident?"
Wu Xuerou, hiding behind Di Ruihe, saw Jiang Ziyu relentlessly pursuing her. In her desperation, she abruptly knelt on the rug from the sofa.
Clasping her hands together in front of her, she rubbed her palms against each other. "I'm sorry, I was wrong, I know I was wrong..."
As she spoke, she forcefully banged her head against the floor.
Before long, her forehead began to bleed.
"Sister-in-law!" Di Ruihe roared. "Are you trying to force her to her death?"
Seeing Wu Xuerou's pale face, the old lady quickly stepped forward to mediate. "Ziyu, we are family. Let's calm down and discuss any issues later."
Later?
They might humor them, but she wouldn't humor them.
Jiang Ziyu took out her phone from her pocket, opened her photo album, and pointed the screen at everyone. "Third sister-in-law, there's no need to act so wronged. We are all adults and should bear the consequences for our actions. Since you could hit Yuze, shouldn't you give me a reason for hitting her?"
Qianqian in the photo had a bloodied face.
Zhao Yanxia leaned closer, and upon seeing the content of the photo clearly, she looked at the flustered Wu Xuerou with admiration.
Amazing!
She then shifted her gaze to the old lady.
"Did you hit her?" The old lady's face darkened after looking at the photo.
She had always doted on Qianqian. From childhood, the old lady had never raised her voice at her.
Wu Xuerou shook her head, then nodded, mumbling incoherently, "It wasn't intentional, I just accidentally bumped her, and her nose started bleeding."
