Jiang Yao's face turned pale: Having such a restless older sister must have been incredibly frustrating for her!
However, just as Mo Shisheng finished speaking, everyone standing outside the gate of the Shangguan Mansion turned their heads to look at Mo Shisheng.
The leader was a middle-aged man with a fierce appearance. A horrifying scar ran down his face to the bridge of his nose. When he glared at Mo Shisheng, his facial expression was particularly ferocious.
He strode up to Mo Shisheng and asked, "You're Shangguan Yan?"
Mo Shisheng remained silent, raising an eyebrow as she carefully examined the middle-aged man before asking, "Who are you?"
"You actually dare to ask who I am? Looks like you're really taking yourself seriously unless I teach you a lesson!"
The middle-aged man sneered, assuming that Mo Shisheng was deliberately trying to embarrass him. After all, in this capital city, which powerful family wouldn't know who Li Xiao was?
"sister……"
Just then, Jiang Yao gently tugged at Mo Shisheng's sleeve and whispered, "His name is Li Xiao, and he is the husband of the eldest daughter of the Li family!"
"I see……"
Mo Shisheng found it strange that asking "Who are you?" made Li Xiao so angry. It seemed that Li Xiao had misunderstood that she was trying to embarrass him...
After all, in this era of male supremacy and female inferiority, the phrase "marrying into another's family" is indeed quite hurtful to one's self-esteem.
Mo Shisheng thought for a moment and then said, "I didn't mock you for being a son-in-law who married into the family. After all, who you are is not someone I am qualified to know."
Jiang Yao: "..."
Sis, is it really okay for you to be so troublesome and arrogant?!
Upon hearing the words "Mo Shisheng is a son-in-law who will marry into the family," Li Xiao's face flushed crimson, and the scar on his face appeared even more ferocious. "You're courting death!"
Mo Shisheng stood quietly in front of Li Xiao, watching as he raised his hand to hit her face.
Li Xiao was burly, and even in loose clothing, his muscular physique was still clearly visible. He exerted tremendous force in his hand, his palm creating a gust of wind...
Those watching the spectacle thought that if he slapped Mo Shisheng, she would either die or bleed from all seven orifices. Some of the braver ones even turned their heads away, unable to bear to watch the bloody scene.
Three...two...one...
Just as everyone was worried about Mo Shisheng's physique, Mo Shisheng was counting down in her mind, a faint cold smile on her lips. Just as she had calculated the time and was about to dodge, a soft embrace suddenly tightly protected her...
"Smack..."
That was the dull thud of bones shattering. Mo Shisheng's neck was soaked with warm liquid, and the smell of blood came from beside him.
Mo Shisheng's mind went blank for a moment, but only for a brief instant. His eyes turned icy as he held Jiang Yao in his arms and whispered, "Are you an idiot?"
"..."
Jiang Yao's mouth was full of blood and foam. The pain of her shattered bones and the severe blows to her internal organs made her unable to utter a single word.
Just then, a discreet yet luxurious carriage quietly drove by and came to a stop right in front of the Shangguan Mansion.
Ming Beiya gently lifted the curtain of the carriage, his gaze meeting Mo Shisheng's. Mo Shisheng, not caring why he was there, subconsciously said, "Help me."
Mo Shisheng's voice was sharp, but Ming Beiya still understood what she meant. Ming Beiya had actually been watching the whole thing from the shadows, and just as he was wondering how Mo Shisheng would handle the situation, an unexpected incident occurred...
