The pain in her wrist made Old Madam Xia almost faint. Her throat was dry, and she could not say anything. However, her strong desire to live made her roar with all her might, “It wasn’t me!”

“Then tell me who it is. Perhaps I can let you off.” Qiao Xi smiled sinisterly as her gaze swept past everyone. Under Qiao Xi’s deterrence, everyone lowered their heads. No one stood out to admit all of this.

Old Madam Xia trembled uncontrollably. She could sense that Qiao Xi really wanted to kill her. “Qiao Xi! It really wasn’t me. How could a junior like you—”

Before she could finish, her throat was suddenly tightened. Qiao Xi suddenly grabbed her neck. “Who destroyed my mother’s belongings? Are you going to tell me?”

Old Madam Xia found it difficult to breathe and could not say a word. It was not until her face was ashen that Qiao Xi slowly let go. At this moment, tears surged out of her eyes as she clutched her neck in horror and said while trembling, “It… It was done by Butler Liu!”

Butler Liu hurriedly stood in front of Old Madam Xia and explained, “Miss Xi Xi, I didn’t do it on purpose. Moreover, when Miss Yunqiu was still alive, I was very attentive to her. She was always kind and respectful. She treated me as an elder. If she knew that I destroyed these things, she definitely wouldn’t have the heart to blame me.”

Qiao Xi was angered to the point of laughing. He was just a dog by Xia Cheng’s side. Was he worthy of her mother’s respect? As a butler, he destroyed the belongings of his master. He did not admit his mistake and even tried to explain himself? The Xia family was the same from head to toe. They were all the same!

She could believe it if it was not intentional, but were the words ‘b*tch’ and ‘d.a.m.n’ not intentional?

Qiao Xi picked up a photo and placed it in front of Butler Liu. She said slowly, “I know you took care of my mother for a period of time, so I can give you a chance. Tell me who destroyed her belongings!”

Butler Liu had indeed taken care of Xia Yunqiu, but that was a long time ago. He thought that the child Xia Yunqiu raised would definitely be as gentle as her, so he did not take Qiao Xi’s warning to heart. He said without hesitation, “I did it, Miss Xi Xi. Today is a family banquet. The elders here have been waiting for you for more than an hour. It’s fine if you don’t know how to be grateful, but you’re fooling around over the belongings of a dead person. If news of this gets out, everyone will say that you’re unfilial!

“You’re all descendants of the Xia family. Look at Miss Mengyan. She has always been steady and respectful to her elders. If you were half as sensible as Miss Mengyan, you wouldn’t be so incompatible with the Xia family!”

Qiao Xi slowly took a few steps closer as the corners of her mouth curled into a cold smile. She abruptly raised her eyes, which were filled with dense killing intent.

“You… What are you doing?” Butler Liu was frightened by her terrifying gaze, and his voice trembled.

At the end of the day, he was innocent! He was just a butler and had no grudge against Miss Yunqiu. Why would he destroy her belongings? However, since the old madam had already said so, how could he dare to retort? At this point, he could only brace himself and admit it.

“I… I know my mistake. I really didn’t do it on purpose! Please let me go! My old bones really can’t take it.” He begged for mercy while trembling.

“Xi Xi! Butler Liu didn’t do it on purpose. He has already admitted his mistake. What else do you want? No matter what, Butler Liu has served the Xia family for his entire life. How can you—”

Bang!

Suddenly, a loud bang interrupted Xia Mengyan’s words. Qiao Xi kicked Butler Liu a few meters away. He hugged his legs and wailed. Before he could get up, Qiao Xi walked over and stepped on his hand.

“Help!” A scream resounded throughout the entire Xia family’s villa. Everyone’s expressions changed.

Qiao Xi fiercely stepped on his finger, and the corners of her mouth carried a ghastly smile. “Did you use this hand to destroy my mother’s belongings?”

Butler Liu lay on the floor and looked at Old Madam Xia pleadingly. He was indeed suffering from some physical pain now, but if he exposed Old Madam Xia and Miss Yunlou, his outcome would definitely be even worse. Hence, he could only grit his teeth. “I know my mistake now! Old Madam Xia, Old Master! Save me!”

“Qiao Xi! Stop!” Xia Cheng berated.

Old Madam Xia, who was at the side, had a ferocious expression, but she hid behind Xia Cheng in horror and did not dare to say anything.
