Chapter 906 explains the “why” with exaggeration.
Seeing this, Elder Bai hurriedly stepped forward and explained, "Ling'er, Su Chenyin is a friend that our Tianyan Sect's young master brought back yesterday."
"According to my observation, this woman has ulterior motives. She is most likely here to please our young master. Not only that, but even our lord dotes on her and takes great care of her!"
"Ying'er was young and ignorant. She had a conflict with her before and suffered a lot. She held a grudge against her and injured Ying'er's wrist five days ago. At that time..."
Elder Bai directly explained the "whole story" with exaggeration, portraying his own daughter Bai Luoying as extremely innocent, like a fragile flower ravaged by a violent storm.
When Old Madam Ximen heard what happened to Bai Luoying, her eyebrows raised and her eyes widened with anger.
Elder Bai looked at Madam Ximen's reaction and felt that the time was not right.
So, he continued to add fuel to the fire: "As for that Jun Yijue, he has a close relationship with Su Chenyin. He is handsome and talented, and Ying'er is quite attracted to him."
"A few days ago, Ying'er wanted to get to know him and get closer to him, but unexpectedly, Su Chenyin beat Ying'er severely without saying a word! Fortunately, Ying'er took the healing pill in time, which barely saved her life."
There was a slight tremor in Elder Bai's voice, as if he was heartbroken for Bai Luoying's tragic experience.
After listening to Elder Bai's story, Madam Ximen's face became even gloomier.
"boom--"
Old Madam Ximen Zhang Sunling slapped her palm on the stone table carved from thousand-year-old black ice jade, and the tabletop instantly cracked into spider-web-like patterns.
The tea on the table was also splashed and flowed everywhere, filling the air with the fragrance of tea.
The overflowing tea fragrance could not conceal the raging anger emanating from Madam Ximen.
"How can this be absurd!" Old Madam Ximen roared in anger, "How can anyone bully my daughter, Chang Sun Ling? I will make Su Chenyin, that bitch, pay the price!"
Seeing that Old Madam Ximen was so angry, Bai Luoying felt very proud in her heart, but she deliberately showed a pitiful look on her face.
She deliberately shrank her body, clenched the corners of her clothes tightly with both hands, her eyes full of grievance and helplessness, just like a wounded deer.
"Mother, you have to make the decision for me. You must help me kill Su Chenyin!"
Her voice trembled slightly, as if she was begging her mother to seek justice for her.
"This bitch Su Chenyin relied on the support of the sect master. Not only did she not take my daughter seriously, she even insulted her. A few days ago, she publicly..."
When she said this, she was choked with sobs and couldn't speak, and crystal tears kept rolling down her fair cheeks.
Old Madam Ximen hugged her daughter tighter with heartache, murderous intent surged in her eyes, and she wished she could tear Su Chenyin into pieces immediately.
How could she not see her daughter's little thoughts?
But this feeling of being bullied cannot be faked.
As a mother, how could she tolerate her precious daughter being humiliated like this?
"Don't be afraid, Ying'er," Madam Ximen stroked her daughter's long black hair, her voice gentle but sharp, "I will make her pay the price."
"Even if she has the support of your clan leader, so what? This is the territory of the Ximen family. I, Chang Sun Ling, have never been afraid of anyone here."
"I will definitely make sure that Su Chenyin gets the punishment he deserves, but we can't rush into this matter. We need to think long and hard about it."
"It's just..." Madam Ximen changed the subject, a shrewd look in her eyes, "This matter needs to be carefully considered. The Ximen family is in a time of trouble, so it's not appropriate to cause trouble."
"If we act rashly, not only will we fail, but it will also have a significant negative impact on the Ximen family. We must not lose the big picture for the sake of the small."
Old Madam Ximen frowned slightly, and a thoughtful gleam flashed in her eyes.
She knew very well that she couldn't act rashly, otherwise there might be unexpected consequences.
As the old lady of the Ximen family, she must put the interests of the Ximen family first.
However, upon hearing this, Bai Luoying's face suddenly turned gloomy.
She widened her eyes and looked at Old Madam Ximen with anger on her face: "Mother, how can you be so cowardly? I am your biological daughter!"
Her voice suddenly rose, filled with anger and grievance, "Mother, do you want your daughter to continue to swallow her anger?"
"It would be fine if you didn't avenge me, but you're still worried about the Ximen family? I've been bullied by her like this, shouldn't you stand up for me right away?"
In Bai Luoying's heart, her mother, as the person closest to her, should stand on her side without hesitation and seek justice for her.
She broke free from Chang Sun Ling's arms, staggered back two steps, and tears burst out like a flood.
"My daughter thought... thought that someone finally supported me..." Her voice was full of despair and helplessness, as if she had been abandoned by the whole world.
"How dare you!" Elder Bai's face darkened and he shouted angrily, "Ying'er, how can you be so rude to your mother!"
He knew very well that Bai Luoying's words were too impulsive and would probably anger Old Madam Ximen.
Bai Luoying was startled by Elder Bai's scolding and her body trembled slightly.
But the resentment in my heart grew stronger, like a burning flame, burning more and more vigorously.
Tears fell from her eyes and she bit her lower lip until she tasted blood.
She secretly complained in her heart: Why does grandpa always speak for my mother?
Are the grievances I have suffered so insignificant?
why?
Why wasn't even her own mother willing to avenge her immediately?
Could it be that in the mother's heart, the interests of the Ximen family are more important than her daughter?
The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, and her tears continued to flow like a spring.
"Grandpa..." Tears rolled down her cheeks, but she stubbornly refused to wipe them away.
She raised her head and looked at Elder Bai, her eyes full of grievance and confusion, "Why are you also speaking for my mother? Isn't the grievance I suffered important?"
Elder Bai felt a pang of pain in his heart when he saw his granddaughter's tearful face, but he could do nothing about it.
He sighed and turned to Old Madam Ximen: "Ling'er, it's because I spoiled Ying'er on a daily basis that she is so ignorant."
Madam Ximen shook her head gently and consoled her, "You can't be blamed entirely for this. This child lost his mother's love when he was young, so it's inevitable that he would be a little extreme."
Her eyes fell on Bai Luoying. Looking at her daughter's stubborn appearance, she felt both distressed and helpless.
Didn't she want to kill the bitch who bullied her beloved daughter immediately?
But as the old lady of the Ximen family, she had to weigh the pros and cons.
She sighed softly, stood up and walked to Bai Luoying, took out a silk handkerchief embroidered with a golden phoenix from her sleeve, and gently wiped away her daughter's tears.
His movements were gentle, completely different from before.
