Xie Xiaoying is dead!
A female servant was the first to discover it. As the banquet reached its climax and Cao Mengfan was exchanging greetings with Si Yi, ready to step on stage to announce the engagement between the Cao and Meng families, she decided to take a break in the courtyard and call her boyfriend. There, she found Xie Xiaoying collapsed on the ground, mouth frothing blood.
"Ah!!" This servant's scream put an abrupt halt to the banquet.
She ran in from the courtyard in a panic, attracting the gaze of everyone present. The sight of her terrified, pallid complexion, trembling all over, shouting, "How terrifying, it's horrifying..." was chilling.
Taking offence at her utterance on such a celebratory day, the manager in charge of the banquet quickly approached her, brow furrowed, and scolded sternly, "What on earth are you doing, looking so panic-stricken?"
