Wang snorted coldly and said, "Whether it's a setup or not is still hard to say. I'm only asking you, how do you plan to explain this?"

Madam Qian stared wide-eyed, fully aware of Madam Wang's meaning, but because it involved the heir apparent, she dared not make a decision and could only feign ignorance. "How do you expect me to explain this?"

Madam Wang was so angry her hands trembled. Madam Qian, as if to say the worst, continued, "I admit that causing your young lady to fall into the water is related to my family's poor upbringing, but how can you drag the young master into this? Even if my young master is kind-hearted and couldn't bear to leave someone drowning, that doesn't mean he can be blamed. Don't you think so? Besides, there are no witnesses, and the matter is so serious, do you think we'll have to admit it just because of your words?"

Qian snorted coldly and glanced at him with disdain.

Madam Wang's face turned ashen. She thought to herself that with such a muddle-headed mother-in-law, her daughter would not have a good life even if she married into the family. She might as well just report her sudden death and then secretly send her daughter to Huainan. At worst, she could find a better family there. Although she would lose her status as a member of the Earl's family, with her husband and her looking after her, her daughter's life would still be better.

Madam Wang turned her head to look at the old lady and said, "I was being presumptuous, please forgive me."

The old lady nodded. By this point, she could tell that Wang was planning to deny it. She sighed inwardly, feeling sorry for her beautiful granddaughter, but there was nothing she could do. You can't force things like this. Since the other party was unwilling, she could only accept her bad luck.

Madam Wang's lips curled down, and she shouted sternly, "Throw those things out of the mansion!"

The maids and servants at the door received the order and came in to look at the old lady.

When the old lady saw everyone looking at her, she quickly closed her slightly open mouth, glanced at them, and then quickly lowered her eyelids.

The group then carried the pile of brocade boxes, which had formed a small mountain, out of the house.
