Looking at the clearly visible wound on Xiao Bai’s hand, Ye Anxin said with pain in her voice, "There really is a wound!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Beiting lowered his eyes to look at Xiao Bai’s hand. When he saw the long wound, his handsome brows furrowed tightly together.

Suddenly, Mu Beiting seemed to see something, and he suddenly grabbed Ye Anxin’s hand, opening her palm and pointing to the wound on her finger. "What is this? When did you get hurt?" he asked.

Ye Anxin followed Mu Beiting’s finger and noticed there was a wound about the same size as Xiao Bai’s on her finger too!

"I got hurt too? When did this happen? I didn’t feel a thing," Ye Anxin pressed her finger hard on the wound, and only then did she feel a little pain.

Upon hearing Ye Anxin’s words, Mu Beiting furrowed his brows even tighter.

Ye Anxin stared at the wound on her hand and, with a glimpse from the corner of her eye, was startled. She hurriedly grabbed Mu Beiting’s hand, spread his palm, and pointed at the scar on his finger, perplexedly asking, "Uncle, you have a wound on your hand too? What’s going on?"

Mu Beiting pressed on the wound with a little force, his brows furrowed so deeply that they could almost kill a fly.

Seeing that not only himself but even Ye Anxin and Mu Beiting had wounds on their hands, Xiao Bai, while staring at the wound, asked in confusion, "What’s going on? Why do we all have wounds on our hands?"

Ye Anxin also stared at the wound on her finger, repeatedly pondering, "Yes! I don’t remember getting hurt either, nor do I remember cutting myself on anything! Everything was fine before I went to bed last night, how could I wake up with a wound?"

Upon hearing their conversation, Mo Xuehong hurriedly concealed the guilt on her face, lowered her head, and continued her work silently, trying to minimize her presence.

At this time, the butler walked over, seeing the clearly visible wounds on their hands, asked with concern, "Sir, Madam, Young Master, what happened to you all? How did such long cuts end up on your hands?"

Even the butler couldn’t understand how they could have injuries when they usually did not lift a finger around the house.

Xiao Bai said, "Butler, go and check all the servants in the house, to see if any of them have the same wounds as us."

"Alright! I’ll go right away!" The butler nodded and turned to leave.

Not wanting them to continue investigating, Mo Xuehong came over, smiling placatingly, "Beiting, Anxin, Xiao Bai, let’s go have breakfast first! If we wait any longer, the breakfast will get cold!"

Xiao Bai glanced at her without expression, then suddenly pointed at her and said sharply, "It’s you! It must be you! You saw us being unkind to you these past few days, so you deliberately cut us to get back at us, didn’t you? It must be you! I knew from the moment you walked in that you were up to no good!"

At Xiao Bai’s accusation, a trace of guilt flashed in Mo Xuehong’s eyes. She lowered her head and pretended to be wronged, "Xiao Bai, you can’t falsely accuse me! Why would I harm you for no reason? Besides, if I really wanted to harm you, I wouldn’t just make a little cut on your hand, right? You must have accidentally cut yourselves somewhere! It’s just a small wound, it’s no big deal!"

Xiao Bai kept his face cold and persisted, "Who knows what you’re really up to, anyway, the fact is we’re hurt now, I bet it was you! You hold a grudge for me deliberately making things difficult for you these days, so you’re retaliating like this!"

As Xiao Bai insisted on blaming her, Mo Xuehong turned to Ye Anxin, her eyes reddening as she spoke pitifully, "Anxin, please, I swear, it really wasn’t me! If it was me, what would my motive be? Even if I wanted revenge, it wouldn’t just be a small cut! Besides, if I had really cut your hands, how could you not feel a thing? Not to mention you, but Beiting! He’s so sensitive, I would never dare to do anything to harm you!" As she spoke, she forced out a few tears, looking as pitiful as one could be.

"...!" Seeing Mo Xuehong looking so pitiful, Ye Anxin hesitated.

Just as Ye Anxin didn’t know how to respond, the butler hurried in from outside, slightly out of breath, "Sir, Madam, Young Master, I just checked the hands of all the servants in the house, and none of them have the same wounds as you."

After hearing the butler’s report, Xiao Bai’s expression turned even colder. He pointed at Mo Xuehong and said, "See, I was right, it was you! Butler, arrest her and take her to the police station!" 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Seeing Xiao Bai getting serious, Mo Xuehong panicked and said urgently, "Beiting, Anxin, I didn’t do it, I really didn’t! What reason would I have to do such a thing? I’m innocent! I had no motive and no reason to do this!"

Everyone present remained silent, just standing there watching her.

Seeing that no one was speaking up for her, Mo Xuehong quickly grabbed Ye Anxin’s hand, crying as she pleaded, "Anxin, you have to believe me, I really didn’t do it! Why would I? I have no motive at all! I came back this time just to make up for the losses of the past twenty-five years, just to live with you all, with no other intentions at all!"

Seeing Mo Xuehong looking so pitiful, Ye Anxin’s eyes showed a trace of emotion, and she couldn’t help but say, "Xiao Bai, we don’t have any evidence, so we can’t just falsely accuse someone! I think she’s right, what’s her motive for doing this? Even if she really hated us and wanted revenge, it wouldn’t just be a small cut, maybe we really misunderstood her! Never mind! It’s just a small wound, it’s not life-threatening!"

Xiao Bai protested, "Mom...!"

At this point, Mu Beiting, who hadn’t spoken, finally said, "Xiao Bai, how do I usually teach you?"

"...!" Xiao Bai frowned, looking at Mu Beiting.

"Alright, let’s go to the dining room for breakfast!" Mu Beiting’s furrowed brows had long loosened, maintaining a faint expression all along, as though this matter didn’t catch his interest at all.

"Dad, Mom...!" Xiao Bai protested.

"Breakfast!" Mu Beiting crisply said two words, and went to sit at the head of the dining table alone.

Seeing his father not taking the matter seriously at all, Xiao Bai turned to his mother, "Mom...!"

Ye Anxin patted his head gently, coaxing him softly, "Xiao Bai, listen to your father, without evidence we can’t just accuse someone! Come on, let’s have breakfast first, it’s just a small cut, it’ll heal in a few days! As a brave young man, we shouldn’t mind such a small wound!"
