The Ruan Family Young Lady looked at the ink stain on her dress, let out a shriek, and pushed Song Chongxiu away.
Song Chongxiu was pushed back a few steps, and only with the frantic assistance of the maids and servants below her did she avoid falling.
The pen in her hand, as she lost her balance, flung ink around; several nearby young ladies were hit, their clothes splattered with ink spots, and some unfortunate ones had it on their faces as well.
These high society ladies were all taken aback, and the hall erupted with screams.
The attending maids and servants were also flustered, all turning into chaos: some went to fetch water to wash their young ladies' faces, some went to get spare clothes for theirs, while others were at a loss and only held their frightened and crying young mistresses.
At this moment, Lady Ruan became anxious, calling out to the visiting young ladies not to panic while instructing the maids and servants to take good care of their masters.
