"She's not..." The old lady suddenly stopped talking.
I was so scared my heart was in my throat.
"She's nothing?" Ye Lanyin asked knowingly. "Mother, please speak frankly!"
Hua Mei stood to one side, her nostrils flaring in anger.
“She’s not… blessed. Look at all the things that have happened in this mansion since she was born. One minute I broke my leg, the next Dehong’s hair was burned and his buttocks were split.”
The old lady seemed to have found an excuse and blurted it all out.
"We were so happy when you had a daughter, but look at her now! She's gone, and she's even caused the restaurant to be shut down. We can't even do business anymore!"
I don't know if there's something wrong with the Ye family's bloodline.
It's unbelievable that such a malevolent being was born.
"Mother, Wanwan is your granddaughter. What are you saying?" Ye Lanyin lowered her eyes slightly.
“Wanwan was framed this time. It’s her good fortune to be back. I haven’t even held Granny Mei accountable yet, and you’re blaming my child instead.”
"Wh...what?" The old lady was dumbfounded.
So, she originally intended to reprimand Ye Lanyin, but instead gave Ye Lanyin an opportunity to pursue Granny Mei's crimes?
Granny Mei stood at the door, her face turning pale with fright.
She desperately suppressed the fear in her heart.
[Heh heh, serves you right. Looking for my mother? Do you think you can just go looking for my mother?]
[Even the smallest thing can leave you speechless with resentment.]
"Lanyin, what crime has Granny Mei committed?"
Ye Lanyin reached out and hugged Lin Wanwan.
He lowered his head, looked at the daughter in Huaxin's arms, and gently touched her forehead.
"Wanwan, tell your mother, who sold you?"
The little guy blinked his round eyes at Ye Lanyin.
Ye Lanyin's heart was breaking.
The old lady was furious when she saw her like that.
She was so aggressive towards me just a moment ago, but now she's so gentle with her child.
An outsider is an outsider!
You worthless bastard!
The little guy waved his hand in the air for a long time, pointing and pointing.
The image freezes on the old lady.
The old lady was so frightened that she rolled off the bed.
With a cry of "Ouch!", Granny Mei was so startled that she rushed to help her up.
Ye Lanyin's gaze sharpened.
"Wanwan, are you saying that your mother sold you?"
"She's talking nonsense, she's talking nonsense! How could I sell her?" the old lady on the ground cried out in protest.
Ye Lanyin showed no intention of stepping forward to help.
She gazed wistfully at the ground.
“Mother, although Wanwan is only seven months old, she can understand human speech to some extent.”
"In the Holy Kingdom, buying and selling children is a capital offense. This is a law that the Regent personally requested the Emperor to issue six years ago. The matter is still not clear yet, so why are you so frightened, Mother?"
Upon hearing this...
The old lady's eyes hardened.
She was helped back to bed by Granny Mei, trembling slightly.
Pointing her finger at Lin Wanwan, she said, "You unfilial daughter, when did your grandmother sell you? Don't make false accusations. Your grandmother is perfectly fine in the courtyard!"
Lin Wanwan chuckled twice.
The little hand pointed and pointed.
Everyone present was terrified.
Suddenly, her little hand stopped and pointed at Granny Mei.
Granny Mei cried out, "Miss, please don't wrong this old servant!"
Ye Lanyin ignored Granny Mei.
She said calmly, "Mother, have you seen it clearly?"
“Just now, Wanwan first pointed to you, and then to Granny Mei, so there must be someone else involved.”
The old lady retorted angrily, "Lanyin, how dare you slander your mother-in-law?"
Ye Lanyin chuckled, "Mother, why are you in such a hurry? I haven't finished speaking yet."
“You have the heart of a bodhisattva, so it can’t be you. If that’s the case, then it must be—Granny Mei?” She spoke very softly.
But the words inside made the old lady's heart skip a beat.
"Lanyin, Wanwan is only seven months old, she's just a baby. She was just pointing randomly, how can you believe that?"
“Mother, you’re going too far with those words. Half a year ago, when Madam Zou came to stay at our mansion while I was in confinement after childbirth, you said that her one-year-old daughter was well-behaved and sensible, and proficient in poetry and songs. You said things that made people happy.”
"Why can't you trust my daughter?"
Ye Lanyin's eyebrows and eyes showed a hint of dissatisfaction.
Even though she knew that Wanwan was born extraordinary, she was naturally unhappy to hear others criticize her child like that.
"How can this be compared?" The old lady was furious.
"Why can't we compare? Is it because Madam Zou's child is related to the imperial family?"
"Today, I believed Wanwan's words. As your personal nanny, I know I have no reason to punish you. But as the mother of the lost child, I will risk my life to seek justice!"
As soon as Ye Lanyin finished speaking...
Granny Mei was so frightened that she knelt down.
"Madam, please save this old servant! I did not harm Miss. Miss is so young, she may have just pointed randomly."
The old lady gave her a reassuring look.
"Don't worry, you're my maid, no one can touch you!"
Nobody would believe it based on a baby who's only a few months old!
Then, she said with displeasure, "Lanyin, how dare you? You've condemned my personal nanny just because of a child! I absolutely refuse to agree!"
"You see if I dare!" Ye Lanyin's gaze was firm.
He harmed her child and still wants to get away with it.
And ask her if she agrees!
"Guards, drag Granny Mei out, slap her thirty times, and then beat her to death!"
As soon as Ye Lanyin finished speaking...
The old lady sat up straight, her frail body stiff.
She reached out to stop Granny Mei, and said angrily, "Stop! I am the mistress of the Marquis's mansion. Who dares to do this?"
