Any mother who doted on her daughter would scowl at Lin Sisi.
Especially, Madam Xiao, was Noble Consort Xiao’s sister. She was already angry that Lin Sisi had stolen Xiao Ruxue’s marriage, and now she had hurt Xiao Ruxue.
Madam Xiao helped Xiao Ruxue up and asked in a strange tone, “What’s wrong? Just because General Lin’s daughter is so delicate, does that mean she can trample on other families’ daughters?”
Lin Sisi’s eyes were filled with guilt. She hurriedly waved her hand and explained, “1 didn’t do it on purpose. Just now, she…”
She reached out to touch her face, but she was too guarded and accidentally pushed her.
But she did not push her onto the table!
Lin Sisi was even sadder when she saw Xiao Ruxue’s injured forehead. She apologized sincerely to Xiao Ruxue, “I’m sorry. It was my fault.”
After apologizing, she wanted to leave this crowded place.
Especially when there were many women, and none of them liked her.
“Stop! Was an apology enough? Miss Lin, 1 don’t know what’s wrong with your face, but my daughter Ruxue is a kind-hearted child. I can’t watch her be bullied by you. Look at the injuries on her face! How will she meet people in the future and discuss marriage?” Madam Xiao was meticulous, and her words were reasonable.
Lin Sisi’s mother died when she was young. In the past, she would solve problems with a whip.
After giving the whip to Su Yingxue, her temper softened a lot. She was in the wrong again, so she was a little discouraged. “I’ll apologize to her. I didn’t do it on purpose. How can I make it up to her?”
She looked at Xiao Ruxue with pity in her eyes. She had suffered from being ugly since she was young. She did not want Xiao Ruxue to be like her.
“Compensation?” Madam Xiao’s eyes turned.
Xiao Ruxue was secretly delighted. She thought to herself that Lin Sisi was just an idiot!
She took the opportunity to cry pitifully in front of everyone, “Mother, my face is injured . In the future, my marriage… I’m afraid it’ll be difficult!”
Madam Xiao also sighed sadly. “My poor daughter, how did you encounter such a thing?!”
Lin Sisi’s sympathy was messed up by them. She bit her lip and blamed herself. “I don’t know how to make it up to you.”
If she was a man, she could marry Xiao Ruxue and be responsible for her.
But she was a girl, how could she compensate?
She was the only daughter, and she didn’t have any brothers at home. She couldn’t possibly let Xiao Ruxue marry her father, could she?
“Miss Lin accidentally hurt my daughter in front of everyone today. Do you want to make it up to her?” Madam Xiao’s eyes revealed a scheming look.
Lin Sisi’s eyes were filled with sincerity. She nodded. “I’m sincere.”
“That’s good. I heard that Miss Lin has already been bestowed as the imperial consort. Miss Lin, why not use your marriage to make amends for my daughter?”
Madam Xiao held Xiao Ruxue’s hand. Xiao Ruxue was beside her, sobbing softly.
“My marriage… No!” Lin Sisi refused without thinking. The imperial edict to bestow marriage was something Chu Jinling had begged for by cutting his face. She could not give it to anyone else.
A hint of hatred flashed across Xiao Ruxue’s eyes, and she immediately started crying. “Mother, my face is ruined. What should I do in the future? Sob, sob, sob!”
Madam Xiao gently patted her back and snorted at Lin Sisi, “The daughter of a great general is just a person who goes back on her words. Everyone must protect your daughter well. If one day Miss Lin disfigures her, she will have no future..”
