As soon as Fang Zhili arrived, she saw her daughter’s swollen face.

Feeling sorry for her daughter, she hurriedly caressed her face and asked angrily, “Why did you kick up such a huge fuss? My daughter’s face is already swollen!”

“You may ask your good daughter!” Li Haoran barked angrily.

Fang Zhili instantly knew that things were not that simple.

She glanced at Li Beinian, only to see that she was hanging her head low and picking her things up without saying anything.

She looked extremely aggrieved.

Feeling extremely guilty, Li Haoran said, “Hurry and put on some ointment. We still have to go to the Mu Family Mansion later.”

“Hubby, it’s rare for us to meet them, Xueqing… ”

“I want her to stay at home and reflect on her own mistakes. Don’t you understand? She’s so young and already so ruthless. She pushed Niannian down the stairs. If I didn’t see it with my own eyes, I really don’t know what else she might have done!” Li Haoran hollered while glowering at Fang Zhili.

Fang Zhili glanced at Li Xueqing.

Cupping her face aggrievedly, Li Xueqing sobbed and said, “I didn’t, I didn’t even touch her… ”

Li Beinian raised her head and yelled indignantly, “You mean I fell down by myself?”

“That’s exactly what happened!” Li Xueqing hollered.

Li Beinian stared at her with pursed lips, all red and panting heavily.

She was trying to stop herself from crying and it was as if she had really been bullied.

Li Haoran flew into a rage and hollered, “Enough! You bullied your sister and yet, you’re still accusing her. I really didn’t know that you’re such a bad person.”

Li Xueqing panicked and screamed, “Father, I was telling the truth… ”

“Go back to your room!” Fang Zhili barked sternly while nudging Li Xueqing.

“Mother… ” Li Xueqing murmured, feeling even more aggrieved.

“Leave!” Fang Zhili glared at her and pulled her upstairs.

Li Beinian was filled with a complicated mix of emotions when she saw them scrambling away.

In her previous lifetime, she had been harmed the same way during a banquet where there were thousands of guests.
