877 The Real Phoenix

Xia Ling followed her brother to the main hall.

The bonfire party was still ongoing in the open-air field, but there were many people gathered in the main hall—Family Head Xia, Madam Xia, the family elders, Xia Yu's biological parents, as well as the villagers who were going to mete out the punishment. All of them had serious expressions as they looked toward the girl who was kneeling in the middle of the hall.

That girl was Xia Yu.

She was wearing a thin t-shirt, and her long hair was in a messy state. She looked extremely pitiful with her forlorn expression. She was speaking to Family Head Xia, "Family Head Xia, I was momentarily taken by my own jealousy and committed the grave mistake of trying to harm the Phoenix's son. I'm willing to accept any punishment for my folly, but can you give me a chance to redeem myself on account that I had no idea that Shaohui was the Phoenix's son. Don't exile me from the family…"

Her face was covered in tears.
