Mrs. Leng told Xiao Ning to go over to the staircase first and listen to what they were saying.
Leng Shuang saw Mrs. Leng sitting alone in the living room and immediately gained confidence. She launched into a tearful complaint, claiming that her sister-in-law's friends were too overbearing last night, constantly picking on her and bullying her. She insisted she had acted out because she was aggrieved and angry, and that throwing the wine bottle was never intentional! She hadn't expected Brother Xu to get hurt!
Leng Shuang's mother chimed in, swearing and making vows to back her daughter up. "I swear, my Xiao Shuang absolutely didn't intend to hurt anyone. If someone ended up getting injured, it was totally an accident! Sister-in-law, you know how well-behaved Xiao Shuang is usually! How could she possibly harm anyone?"
