This event happened suddenly, and Mr. Wei's previously calm and confident mindset was suddenly thrown into turmoil.
"What's going on? Why are you imprisoning my son and me? I'm going to ask the master. I don't believe he would do this to me," Madam Wei said excitedly.
Earlier, Jiang Zhongmao had told his eldest son to reduce his contact with his second and third sons, and he had also replaced all the people in his courtyard. She knew that Jiang Zhongmao must have noticed something, but at the time, Jiang Zhongmao did not take much action.
I never expected that such a thing would happen just two days later.
They immediately imprisoned her and her two children.
When Lady Wei arrived at the gate, she was stopped. Due to the ban on confinement, more guards were assigned to the courtyard of the mother and her two children.
"Why did you do this, sir? I've been married into the Jiang family for many years, and you've never treated me like this before," Madam Wei said indignantly.
"I'm sorry, Madam, we were just following the master's orders."
"Then let me go ask the master."
"The master instructed that the madam is not allowed to leave this courtyard."
Ms. Wei felt dizzy and saw stars before her eyes.
"Mother." Jiang Shuxue ran in from outside.
Lady Wei thought that Jiang Shuxue was nominally the daughter of the Princess of Shouguang, so her actions were not restricted.
Seeing a glimmer of hope, she quickly pulled Jiang Shuxue into the house.
"Shuxue, what is the reason for your father's sudden action?"
Jiang Shuxue shook her head in confusion: "I don't know either. I heard that my mother was under house arrest, so I came to visit her."
"What has Princess Shouguang done?"
"No, she's still the same as always. She either rests in bed or goes for walks in the park. She takes her medicine on time and tries to eat as much as possible. I think she has a strong will to live."
For Wei, this meant nothing; what dying person wouldn't want to live a few more days?
She sat down, seething with anger.
“Your father did this because he suspects me, but there is no evidence. It’s too much to imprison my mother and me based on mere suspicion.”
"Mother, don't worry. In a few more days, the eldest son will become a complete idiot."
"Now that Father has realized something is wrong and wants to save the eldest son, he has even invited the imperial physicians from the palace. To avoid any further complications, he has placed Mother and his two younger brothers under house arrest. Once he realized that the eldest son was beyond saving, he no longer held any hope."
"Besides, I'm about to get married, and it wouldn't look good if word got out that I've been restricting my mother's freedom."
Wei thought about it and agreed, and the team he sent to Yunzhou should send back news soon.
Ultimately, the situation was in her favor.
"I can endure it, and I can wait. This family will eventually fall into our hands."
"Shuxue, now that your mother is not able to move around easily, everything will have to be done by you. Keep an eye on Princess Shouguang's side." Madam Wei instructed.
"Mother, don't worry."
Two days later, a pigeon fluttered down into the Wei family's yard.
The servants took down the bamboo tube and handed the letter inside to Madam Wei.
After confirming that he had read the handwriting, Mr. Wei breathed a sigh of relief.
"Great! The bastard has finally been eliminated. With this worry gone, the wretch's dowry will all belong to my daughter."
Mr. Wei chuckled softly, his eyes gleaming with victory.
The bastard child should have died at the inn, but unfortunately, the Qiao family took him in for a while, so she couldn't do it and could only wait for a better opportunity.
