"What exactly do you think you are doing?" A crisp, authoritative voice cut through the tension.
Both Bai Xifeng and Bai Huiling snapped their heads toward the courtyard entrance. Standing there was the picture of elegance, Bai Chunhua, the family's golden child.
"Sister..." Bai Huiling's eyes welled with crocodile tears.
She scrambled to her feet and rushed to Bai Chunhua's side, clinging to her sleeve like a wounded puppy.
"Huiling, are you alright? What happened?" Bai Chunhua asked, her voice laced with practised concern.
"Sister, she pushed me! She is taking her anger out on me just because of her broken engagement with His Highness the Crown Prince!" Bai Huiling wailed, twisting the truth with practised ease.
Bai Chunhua sighed, turning a pitying look toward Xifeng. "Third Sister, I understand that you are hurting. But you cannot simply go around beating others just because you are devastated."
