Da Ming and the others lowered their heads in shame. Ah Yong asked in a deep voice, "Da Ming, what does Wen Te mean by that?"
Shu Yue said sarcastically, "What else could it mean? You weren't here that day. Miao Xiao Cui and your four brothers went out of the city to mate. They didn't hold back even when she was pregnant, and ended up hurting the child."
"She already showed signs of miscarriage. We just happened to encounter her. Miao Xiao Cui begged me to save the child. I genuinely helped you all, administering acupuncture to Miao Xiao Cui. Later, there was a small incident, and she was bitten on the thigh by a centipede... well, a multi-legged insect. I worked hard to detoxify her. When she woke up, she claimed I caused her miscarriage. I just want to ask, if I really wanted to cause your child to miscarry, why would I go through all this trouble? If I had simply ignored you, your child would still have been lost!"
Unlike Miao Xiao Cui's angry accusations, Shu Yue explained the situation clearly in a few sentences. Yin Xiao and the others did not refute her, indicating the truth of her words. The surrounding tribesmen had already formed their own judgments.
Seeing the situation reverse and no one siding with her, Miao Xiao Cui felt even more grief-stricken. Shu Yue had truly pushed her, so why didn't anyone believe her!
Miao Xiao Cui shook her head, "That's not how it happened, it was just... Mmph!"
Yin Xiao decisively covered her mouth, fearing she would offend everyone completely. He apologized to Shu Yue, "I'm sorry, Shu Yue. We didn't come to question you, we just wanted to understand the specific events. We are very grateful that you saved Cui. I didn't know Cui would be so extreme. I apologize for the trouble we've caused you!"
"Ah Yong, let's take Cui back first. She's emotionally unstable right now. I think she's just too heartbroken, which is why she's speaking nonsense." Yin Xiao subconsciously wanted to tell everyone that Cui had become this way because she had lost her child.
Ah Yong also felt they were in the wrong and that if they didn't leave soon, they would completely offend Wen Te and the others.
With his hand still covering Miao Xiao Cui's mouth, Yin Xiao quickly led her away.
The remaining mates apologized to Wen Te and Shu Yue, "We apologize, Wen Te and Shu Yue. Cui was stimulated and spoke nonsense. Please don't take it to heart."
Shu Yue snorted coldly and went inside. She truly decided that if she encountered Miao Xiao Cui's issues again, she would not intervene.
Wen Te unceremoniously shooed them away, "You all get out of here quickly. My mate saved you, and this is how you repay her? Don't come to our home again. You're not welcome!"
"..." Ah Yong and the others exchanged bitter smiles. They had still managed to offend someone.
After Ah Yong and the others left, the onlookers who had come to watch also dispersed.
However, Wen Te and Shu Yue were furious. Shu Yue snorted heavily, "Even if her child was lost, she can't blame others for it!"
She never expected to experience a "farmer and the viper" situation in a place like this!
Wen Te's expression was also grim, "Miao Xiao Cui's mates are all unreasonable. Yue Yue, from now on, if any of their family members come, we won't let them in."
Shu Yue said mockingly, "Of course. I'm afraid of being bitten again after saving someone!"
While Shu Yue was unhappy, Miao Xiao Cui, who had been led away, felt even more wronged and unhappy. She bit Yin Xiao's tiger's mouth to vent her anger.
Yin Xiao's hand was bleeding from the bite marks. He endured the pain and returned home, "Cui! Calm down!"
Miao Xiao Cui looked at him with cold eyes, "I can't calm down. My child is gone, I'm the one who's most wronged!"
"Yin Xiao, what do you mean? When I lost my previous child, you were worried about Shu Yue's safety all day. This time, I've lost another child, and you're still defending her? What exactly do you want!"
Yin Xiao was stunned by the accusation. He explained, "Cui, you can't conflate the two. Putting aside the previous incident, let's just talk about this one. We need to be reasonable!"
"It's a fact that Shu Yue administered acupuncture and detoxified you. The true cause of the child's loss hasn't been determined yet. You shouldn't have impulsively cursed Shu Yue. If you've misunderstood her, how will you interact in the city in the future?"
Miao Xiao Cui was going mad. Her mate never believed her. She turned her gaze to the other mates who had returned, "Do you all think the same way? You don't believe me?"
Ah Yong and the others exchanged glances and said cautiously, "Cui, of course, we believe you. But we can't be sure it was Shu Yue who did it. And the situation at the time was that we were in the wrong..."
"Excuses! All just excuses to fool me! Get out, all of you! I don't want to see you!" Miao Xiao Cui screamed hysterically.
The pain of losing two children was too great a blow to her, who had always wanted to be a mother.
Seeing that they didn't move, Miao Xiao Cui picked up something nearby and smashed it at them until she had thrown them all out.
Seeing how agitated she was, the males decided not to provoke her further and left, allowing her to calm down alone.
Miao Xiao Cui locked the room and leaned against the door, her breathing still unstable as she gasped for air. At first, she cried, but then she slowly calmed down.
She stared motionlessly at a certain spot, as if brewing something. If anyone saw her, they would be greatly surprised. No one would believe that such a delicate female could reveal such an expression.
Hate! Overwhelming hatred!
...
After Miao Xiao Cui came to cause trouble that day, she didn't leave her home for several days. Initially, the beastmen in the city were discussing it, but as neither side made any further moves, the matter was gradually forgotten.
Miao Xiao Cui was different from ordinary females. With her title as a messenger of the Beast God, her life was even more closely watched. Everyone knew how difficult it was for her to have children.
It was normal for a female who had lost two children to be a little extreme due to the shock. No one truly blamed her, and since she wasn't leaving her home, it seemed she was truly heartbroken, and everyone sympathized with her in their hearts.
On this day, the sympathetic Miao Xiao Cui walked out of her home, looking frail and delicate. She was not alone; Ya Ya accompanied her.
Ya Ya had also found a mate in recent years and had given birth to a cute little male. Today, she brought her child and took a walk with Miao Xiao Cui.
Ya Ya spoke words of comfort, "Cui, you should go out more. Don't be too heartbroken." She dared not mention the word "child."
Miao Xiao Cui smiled faintly, "I'm fine. I believe I'll have children in the future. For now, I just need to take care of my health."
Her gentle demeanor was completely different from her hysterical state a few days ago.
Ya Ya said joyfully, "Cui, it's good that you can think this way. When you get pregnant again, you can't be so careless!"
Miao Xiao Cui hummed in agreement, her voice soft and gentle, "I understand."
After a short walk, Miao Xiao Cui suggested they return, "We've walked enough for today. We should head back."
Ya Ya nodded, "Okay, let's go back." She believed that Cui would eventually emerge from her pain.
Miao Xiao Cui maintained a smile throughout, being amiable to everyone she met. However, her mates sometimes felt an inexplicable chill.
But upon closer inspection, it seemed like an illusion. The males were generally careless and didn't dwell on it. It was a good thing their mate had recovered.
