After leaving the Lu family's gate, Su Huaiyue directly hired a carriage and rushed towards the Wei family at lightning speed.

The carriage stopped in front of the Wei family's gate. She didn't even have time to tidy up her skirt before she hurried across the courtyard and headed straight for Wei Ersao's room.

Along the way, the servants saw her anxious look and cast curious glances at her, but Su Huaiyue had no time to care about other people's eyes at the moment.

Soon, she arrived at the door of Wei Ersao's room. The door was closed, and faint laughter could be heard from inside the room.

Su Huaiyue took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, then raised her hand and knocked hard on the door.

"Knock, knock, knock," the knocking sound was particularly loud in the quiet corridor.

The sound in the room suddenly stopped. After a while, the door creaked open, and Wei Ersao's well-maintained but slightly surprised face appeared in front of Su Huaiyue.

When Wei Ersao saw that it was Su Huaiyue, a hint of panic flashed across her face, but she quickly regained her feigned enthusiasm and said with a smile, "Hey, sister-in-law, what brings you here? Come in and sit down."

Su Huaiyue did not respond to her smile. He looked at her with cold eyes and walked into the room without saying a word.

Wei Ersao was somewhat bewildered by her appearance. After closing the door, she asked with a wry smile, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you? You don't look well."

Su Huaiyue still ignored it and looked around Wei Ersao's room.

On the sandalwood table was placed the finest tea from Youzhou, emitting wisps of white hot steam. The fragrance of the tea wafted into his nose, but it could not dispel the coldness in Su Huaiyue's eyes.

In the dressing box not far away, the gold and jade jewelry sparkled in the sunlight.

Su Huaiyue naturally recognized this jewelry. As a woman working in the industry, she naturally had to understand the market conditions of all related industries.

The last time I gave Wei Ersao only three hundred taels of silver, but this piece of jewelry costs two hundred and fifty taels.

Not to mention that there was tea weighing fifty taels per pound on the table.

When Su Huaiyue saw these unnecessary food, clothing and other expenses, she already believed what Lu Jin said.

Her eyes swept over the expensive tea and jewelry one by one, her eyes became colder, her lips were tightly pursed, and she exuded an aura that made people afraid to approach.

She just stood there quietly, without saying a word, and the atmosphere in the room seemed to freeze at that moment.

Wei Ersao was already feeling guilty, and Su Huaiyue's silence was like a heavy rock, pressing her so hard that she couldn't breathe.

Her eyes were evasive, not daring to look at Su Huaiyue. Her hands were unconsciously twisting the corners of her clothes in front of her, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

When Wei Ersao saw Su Huaiyue staring at the jewelry, her heart skipped a beat, as if someone had caught her, and panic instantly surged in her heart.

Almost subconsciously, she hurried forward a few steps, leaning sideways to block Su Huaiyue's sight, and at the same time forced a smile that was uglier than crying. With a slight tremor in her voice, she said, "Sister-in-law, it's already dinner time! Time flies! It's been a long time since we two had a meal together. We're all busy on weekdays, so it's a rare opportunity like this. Look, the food is almost ready. Why don't you stay here and have a meal together and chat about family matters?"

As she spoke, she secretly observed Su Huaiyue's expression out of the corner of her eye, trying to find any sign of relaxation on her face.

Su Huaiyue raised her eyebrows slightly, with a sarcastic smile on her lips, but she did not speak. She just watched Wei Ersao's performance quietly.

When the smile on Wei Ersao's lips began to twitch and was about to fall, she suddenly smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes. She replied brightly, "Okay, then I'll bother you, Ersao."

Wei Ersao thought Su Huaiyue would refuse, but she didn't expect her to agree so readily. She was a little confused for a moment, but she could only bite the bullet and order the servants to prepare the meal.

Soon, the food was served on the table.

The two sat face to face. Su Huaiyue said nothing, just quietly looked at the food on the table, occasionally turning the chopsticks in his hand gently, but did not move.

Mrs. Wei Er was made to feel uneasy by the depressing atmosphere. She just picked up the chopsticks but felt uneasy. The oppressive feeling emanating from Su Huaiyue made her feel her heart beating like a drum.

After a long while, Su Huaiyue finally spoke, her voice calm but with a hint of elusive meaning: "Second sister-in-law, how have you been recently?"

Mrs. Wei forced a smile, trying to appear calm, and said, "I'm fine. Thanks to the three hundred taels you gave me, I've been able to get by quite well this month."

Su Huaiyue smiled, and that smile was like thin ice in winter, seemingly light but with a bone-chilling chill.

She tilted her head slightly, staring at Wei Ersao with a sharp gaze, and then asked, "Second sister-in-law, where is the money that the second-in-command of the Lu family gave you now?"

Her voice was not loud, but it was like a thunderclap, exploding in Wei Ersao's ears.

When Mrs. Wei Er heard this, her face, which had been trying to remain calm, turned pale in an instant, like a piece of white paper, without a trace of blood.

Her eyes widened with fear and disbelief, and her lips trembled slightly.

She never thought that Su Huaiyue would find out that she had accepted money privately.

At this moment, she only felt cold all over, as if an invisible chill was running from the soles of her feet to the top of her head. She felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, and her body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Her eyes began to avoid, not daring to look at Su Huaiyue, and her hands subconsciously clenched the corners of her clothes, her knuckles turning white from the force.

After a moment's silence, she forced a smile, trying to play dumb, and said with a hint of deliberate confusion in her tone, "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? I don't understand a single word. Did you hear something wrong? Don't be misled by those false rumors."

As she spoke, she shook her head in a feigned expression of anger, trying to hide her guilty conscience.

Su Huaiyue just looked at her indifferently, without a trace of emotion in his eyes, so calm that it was frightening.

She just stood there quietly, without saying a word, as if she were an unshakable iceberg.

That calm gaze was like a sharp sword, piercing straight into Wei Ersao's heart, making her even more flustered.

Every second of silence was like a heavy knock on her heart, making her heart beat faster and faster and her breathing become rapid.

Finally, under Su Huaiyue's piercing gaze, Wei Ersao felt as if she was under the scorching sun, with nowhere to hide.

Su Huaiyue's eyes seemed to be able to see through all her inner thoughts and secrets, and every second of their eye contact made her feel uncomfortable.

Her forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat, which slid down her cheeks and dripped onto the clothes in front of her, leaving dark stains.
