"My lord, my younger brother is ignorant and has caused you trouble. It's all my fault. I failed to discipline him properly, which led him astray. However, you can't blame him entirely. He's always been someone who doesn't like to get involved in things. Perhaps someone else is using his name to tarnish your reputation. My lord, you must stand up for my brother!"

Wang Qiang looked at Aunt Wang, who was crying with tears streaming down her face. She looked beautiful, but he could only listen to what she said and not take it seriously. He sent someone to investigate. It turned out that Wang Hailin, knowing Aunt Wang's power, had done things that were far more ruthless than the rumors suggested. He never expected that Aunt Wang would have the nerve to come and beg him to stand up for her brother.

If she asked him to make the decision for her, he might have kept her around out of consideration for the long time he had spoiled her. But instead, she dared to say and do anything.

Plead for leniency, plead for leniency for Wang Hailin.

Wang Qiang said with dissatisfaction, "You really don't know what Wang Hailin did?"

Aunt Wang only investigated a portion of the information, and the results were not comprehensive. She also relied on some of the Wang family's connections to conduct the investigation, so the findings were naturally biased.

"My lord, I am not allowed to leave the manor. I only learned about this from the maid who does the purchasing. But I believe my brother is not that kind of person. I hope you will investigate thoroughly."

Wang Qiang said, "Alright, you can go back now. I'll make my own decision on this matter."

Now that things have come to this point, it's no longer a matter of whether he wants to get involved or not; he absolutely has to give an explanation, otherwise his reputation will be ruined if word gets out.

Aunt Wang was unsure of what to do, but Wang Qiang's attitude was firm, so in the end she had no choice but to go back.

After Aunt Wang left, Wang Qiang said, "If Aunt Wang wants to come over again, send someone to stop her!"

Upon hearing this, the butler was startled and then replied, "Yes, sir."

The housekeeper then realized that Aunt Wang had been completely abandoned.

Unbeknownst to Aunt Wang, Madam Lin, seeing that she was not behaving properly and having received some information from the steward, then sent someone over.

"Auntie, Madam's head maid, Shiyin, has arrived."

Aunt Wang was puzzled, as the madam usually didn't like to associate with her.

Why did she come here?

"This servant does not know, but judging from their appearance, they are not friendly."

Aunt Wang went out.

"I have met Aunt Wang."

"Shion-chan, come quickly! What brings you here?"

"Replying to Aunt Wang, this servant has come on the orders of Madam to speak with you."
