Chapter 2: The Untamed Wolf
"Cousin, what are you doing? What are you looking for in my closet?"
A cold and angry voice sounded from behind.
Wu Ronger was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly turned around and hid his hands behind his back. He looked at the woman on the bed with a grim expression. She had woken up at some point.
"No, no!"
She raised an ugly smile and said guiltily, "Isn't my cousin asleep?"
She was completely disappointed with Wu Ronger and didn't want to say another word to her.
He directly called the maid and old woman who were waiting outside the door.
"Search her to see if she has anything else she stole."
She had set a trap, but she was also giving the woman a chance.
If Wu Ronger had no intention of harming her, she would not have done it.
But Wu Ronger is obviously an ungrateful person who can never be tamed.
"Cousin, are you suspecting me of stealing something?"
Wu Ronger was stunned. She didn't understand why her cousin, who had always loved her, suddenly changed today.
However, Mrs. Shen ignored her.
The bellyband she had hidden in her sleeve was quickly found by the maid and presented to Madam Shen.
Mrs. Shen took it and looked at it. In the lower right corner were the three words "Mu Yunwei".
Madam Shen's beautiful little face was stained with a fierce look.
[Well, now the bad woman can't deny it, right? ]
[But something's wrong. The plot clearly didn't develop this way? Why did it go off the track out of nowhere?]
Even before the maids came in, Wu Ronger's angry voice had already woken her up. After all, she was not a real baby, so she didn't cry when she woke up.
Instead, he looked at me with his big watery eyes.
As she watched, she realized that things were progressing a little differently from what she knew.
Hearing the baby voice, Madam Shen turned her head and saw a hint of doubt emerging.
It looks silly and cute, adorable and soft.
Mrs. Shen’s heart melted when she saw this.
[Has my mother suddenly become smarter? She knows this evil woman has evil intentions and wants to harm her?]
Madam Shen couldn’t help but pinched her pink little face.
Silly daughter, it’s you. If it weren’t for your mother, she wouldn’t know her vicious thoughts.
You are my mother's lucky star.
"Cousin, I just wanted to see the style of your bellyband. I like it so much, so I want to see if I can make the same one. Cousin, you won't be angry about such a small thing, right?"
Seeing that his little thoughts were exposed, Wu Ronger panicked and began to find all kinds of excuses to excuse himself.
[Humph, bad woman, you got caught doing something bad and instead of admitting your fault, you even accused your mother of being petty. How shameless!]
[My beautiful mother, please don't be fooled by her. This woman has very evil intentions.]
[Mother, please don't believe her. This woman is a vicious person with a heart of a snake and scorpion. She really wants you dead! She's been thinking about Daddy for a long time. A few times, when you weren't paying attention, she climbed into Daddy's bed, wanting to be his concubine. Daddy got angry and kicked her out. Daddy was afraid you might have a miscarriage, so he didn't dare tell you!]
Seeing that Daddy was indifferent, she decided to plot against you. She wrote several letters to Tang Huaian in your name, telling him how you still missed him even after you got married, how your old feelings were still there, and how you missed him so much every day that you couldn't even eat or drink.
Hearing this, Madam Shen’s chest heaved with anger, and her whole body trembled.
What a great Wu Ronger.
Out of pity for her, he took her to the Duke's Mansion and treated her well in terms of food, drink and other expenses. Out of pity for her, he doted on her more than his own sister.
But what about her!
He actually wanted her life!
She wrote a letter to Tang Huaian in her name, trying every possible way to snatch her husband away.
How could she be so shameless!
How could she face her husband?
"Really? You know I treat you like my own sister. If you tell me, I won't refuse. Why are you being so sneaky?"
"Just as I was about to speak, my cousin fell asleep. I called out to her several times, but she was probably too tired from giving birth and was sleeping so soundly that she didn't hear me."
Wu Ronger is still stubborn.
Don't admit it at all.
Madam Shen remained silent. If she hadn't heard her precious daughter's voice, perhaps she would have really thought it was just a trivial matter and would have been fooled and believed her words. But now...
[I've never seen a woman with a thicker skin than a pig. She won't cry until she sees the coffin! Humph!]
[Mother, have someone search her room. She has a lot of letters from Tang Huaian hidden in her room.]
[Also, she's hidden a lot of your gold and soft jewelry. Such an ungrateful person doesn't deserve your mother's kindness. Take away all the money she's swallowed and kick her out of the house!]
[Let her see for herself that without her mother's protection, she can end up in a good place!]
Mrs. Shen looked at her daughter tenderly, and her daughter actually thought the same thing as her.
Such tacit understanding of ideas really shows the connection between mother and daughter.
"Come here, my cousin is not clean, lock her up in the woodshed, you——"
Before he could finish his words, Wu Ronger interrupted him hurriedly.
"What do you mean by dirty hands and feet?! You even want to lock me up in the woodshed? Are you crazy? I'm not your servant, why are you locking me up?!"
Just as he uttered the angry words, Wu Ronger suddenly seemed to realize something. His face, which was originally stained with anger, immediately changed and he pretended to be aggrieved.
"Cousin, don't play such a joke on your sister. You know she's timid and can't stand being scared."
“…”
Oh.
Madam Shen sneered.
I really didn't realize before that she is such a good actress.
"If the maids and servants in this mansion want to punish you with twenty lashes for touching the master's private belongings without permission, I'm already being merciful by locking you up. You should lock her up and teach her the rules of this mansion."
The three maids immediately stepped forward and grabbed Wu Ronger.
Wu Ronger is really scared now. She doesn’t understand why Madam Shen suddenly changed.
She struggled frantically and begged for mercy.
These three old maids have been staying in the mansion for a long time and they show no mercy when treating people.
Seeing her struggling, he slapped her a few times. Wu Ronger was stunned and stopped screaming. Soon, the room returned to silence.
Inside the room, Madam Shen gave some instructions and asked Su Ma to search Wu Ronger's room thoroughly to see how many things she had secretly taken from the mansion and take them all back.
Not wanting Chen Wan to have any suspicion, he winked at Su Ma.
After being master and servant for more than ten years, Su Ma understood what he meant at first sight.
[My dear mother, you are so great! The bad woman has been punished, and the money must be returned.]
[As long as my mother can find out the evil woman's little thoughts, she won't be framed so easily. She is so smart, she is worthy of being my mother.]
[No, there's one more important thing, the letter. If only Granny Su could have found the letter just now, then Mother would have known how vicious Wu Rong'er's mind is!]
[Without any substantial evidence, what if that woman starts to make a fuss and Mother starts to believe her? Doesn't that mean she'll have to keep her around to trip Mother up?]
Hearing the voice of the little milk bag, Mrs. Shen laughed a little.
I was afraid that she would worry about me, so I thought I would put on a good show when Su Ma came.
So as to prevent the little kid from wondering how I suddenly knew about the letter.
