The guests outside in the courtyard had strange expressions on their faces, looking at each other.
Everyone's attention was drawn at once.
They all knew that Xiaoya was gentle by nature and wondered how could she possibly hit her mother-in-law.
A group of people then rushed into the room.
Particularly Xiaoya's parents, knowing that their daughter was gentle and fearing that she would be bullied, quickly went in to check on her.
They saw Jing Yiren standing forcefully by the bedside, blocking the passage in and out of the room.
Xiaoya was inside doing her makeup while relatives stood in rows outside, all wearing worried expressions.
The old grandmother pointed at Jing Yiren to blame her.
"In-laws! Is this how you treat me? Hiring a woman to hit me! Look at the red mark she made on my face!"
"..." Xiaoya's parents' heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.
They observed that apart from being somewhat damp, the in-law's face didn't seem to show any signs of injury.
