Fortunately, the quick-witted girl reacted promptly. Upon seeing the child about to fall, she immediately lunged forward, attempting to catch the child. But as she did, at that very moment, Bai Wei, who was standing next to her, made her move. Seeing the girl trying to save the child, she actually shoved her aside.
And so, in an instant, the child that the young girl could have caught, cruelly slipped from her grasp and plummeted to the ground with a loud "bang!"
This sound was unbearable even for an adult, let alone a child?
In a flash, outside the entrance of the garden, a child’s crying shattered the silence of the area.
Just then, a servant who was cleaning outside the garden rushed in upon hearing the cries, "What’s happened? Miss, Madam Third Young Master, what is this...?"
"The child fell! Did you not see this woman drop the child? Quick, go call Bai Tingfang over!!" roared Ou Mufeng, who finally managed to pick up the child, his eyes crimson with rage.
The servants, terrified, scurried off to fetch the lady of the house.
At this moment, Bai Tingfang, busy with the last bits in the main hall, heard that the Madam Third Young Master had dropped the second branch’s grandson in the Chrysanthemum Garden. Her face went through a drastic change, and she abruptly stood up.
"What the hell is she doing in that damned place? Where is Sister Wang?"
"Sister Wang isn’t here, it was a maid named Xiaohe who pushed her to go!"
Damn it, who told her to push her there?
Bai Tingfang, both shocked and angry, strode towards the Chrysanthemum Garden...
With all the men away from Blue Mountain Villa, naturally, she, as Mrs. Ou, was in charge. But why on earth would that damned girl go there? Doesn’t she know that place is strictly off-limits to her?
Moreover, she went with that mother and daughter!
Bai Tingfang felt a terrible premonition creeping in.
Walking briskly, when she reached the abandoned garden and saw the chaotic scene with the woman holding the crying infant, her heart lurched, sinking entirely!
"Tianshu, if anything happens to you, how can I go on living, how can I face your father, your grandparents."
"Little Tianshu, Auntie is so sorry, I didn’t take good care of you..."
One high-pitched wail after another sounded as if they were desperate for everyone to know something had happened in the garden.
Bai Tingfang, with a livid face, approached, only to see the crowd in utter disarray. Overwhelmed with urgency and anger, she shouted, "Why are you crying? What exactly has happened?"
As her voice fell, the woman on the ground who was wailing and holding the child finally stopped, "Mom, you must make a judgment. This woman, she tried to kill Tianshu!"
What does she mean tried to kill Tianshu?
Bai Tingfang, who knew full well the character of this woman, didn’t even need to think before retorting, "What nonsense are you spouting? Who’s trying to kill the child? You think it’s a puppy or kitten that can be killed just like that?"
"Grandma, this is where you are wrong. Have you forgotten who the child is? This woman, she previously killed the child’s father, and his mother, grandmother. What’s the problem with her trying to kill him now?"
