Wei Ersao's face was pale, her lips were trembling, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down her forehead.
She clenched her teeth, struggling fiercely inwardly, and the muscles on her face twitched slightly from the exertion.
The three of them were silent for a long time, the only sounds around them being heavy breathing and occasional sobs.
The eyes of the family were all focused on her, which made Wei Ersao feel extremely pressured, as if a huge mountain was pressing down on her, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
"Madam..." Wei Ersao finally spoke, her voice as soft as a mosquito, "I...I did take some silver and even altered the account book."
Her voice was tearful, and every word she spoke seemed to take up all her strength.
"But I only took a small amount, seriously! I thought that with Meiyan Pavilion being such a large business, this little bit of money wouldn't affect the Wei family's cash flow at all. Besides, I only changed a few small accounts, so even if I falsified the accounts, the sentence wouldn't be too severe..."
As she spoke, she tried to defend herself, with a hint of luck in her eyes, as if she still hoped to be forgiven by everyone.
"I... I was just confused for a moment. I've also contributed a lot to the Beauty Pavilion during this period..."
Wei Ersao's voice became smaller and smaller. She lowered her head, not daring to look into the eyes of the two people beside her. She kept twisting the corners of her clothes with her hands, as if she wanted to tear them into pieces.
At this moment, she no longer had the excuses she had before, and was left with only regret and helplessness in her heart. She curled up there like a wounded beast, waiting for the judgment of fate.
After hearing what Wei Ersao said, Mrs. Wei was so angry that her face turned ashen and her body trembled slightly.
She raised her cane, wanting to hit Wei Ersao, but then she put it down powerlessly: "You...you fool! You are going to kill the Wei family!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she started coughing violently, her body rising and falling with each cough. Every cough seemed to use up all her strength, as if she wanted to cough out her heart and lungs.
Her eyes were wide open, full of pain and despair. Her already rapid breathing became even more disordered, and a "ho ho" sound came from her throat, as if she was choked by something.
After a violent coughing fit, her eyes rolled back, her head tilted, and she fell straight to the ground, completely losing consciousness.
Wei Yunrou was originally standing nervously by the side. When she saw Madam Wei suddenly faint, her face turned pale, her eyes instantly filled with tears, and her lips trembled uncontrollably.
"grandmother!"
She screamed, her voice filled with fear and worry, and her feet seemed to be out of control as she immediately rushed towards Madam Wei.
She moved in a panic and almost tripped over a stone on the ground, but she didn't care about that at all. Her mind and eyes were filled with Madam Wei who had fainted on the ground.
She knelt down beside Madam Wei with a plop, and with trembling hands, she gently lifted up the old lady's upper body, carefully supporting her head and gently shaking it while crying out in a sobbing voice: "Grandma, wake up! Don't scare me!"
Her tears rolled down uncontrollably, dripping onto Madam Wei's clothes. Her eyes were full of anxiety and helplessness, and she looked like a wounded and frightened deer.
When Wei Ersao saw this scene, she froze completely. The blood color on her face instantly disappeared, leaving only a dead gray.
Her eyes were wide open, full of fear.
"Old lady..." She spoke tremblingly, her voice full of tremors. Her legs went limp and she collapsed to the ground.
Her hands unconsciously stretched out, as if she wanted to grab Madam Wei, but stopped in mid-air, not knowing what to do.
"This...what should I do..."
She muttered incoherently, her body shaking uncontrollably, her teeth chattering, and in panic, her eyes wandered around but she couldn't find anything to rely on.
Her breathing became rapid and heavy, and every breath seemed to be suppressing the fear in her heart. Her forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat, which slid down her cheeks and dripped onto the ground.
Fortunately, the maidservant who was serving her reacted quickly and quickly took out a quick-acting heart pill and fed it to Madam Wei.
After a long while, Madam Wei's expression gradually relaxed and she slowly opened her eyes.
After Madam Wei recovered, she was still very agitated. She grabbed Second Wife Wei's arm tightly and insisted on dragging her to the warehouse to explain things to the officers and soldiers: "Come on, come with me and confess to the officers and soldiers! Don't harm the Wei family anymore!"
Wei Ersao was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, hugged Madam Wei's legs, and cried for mercy: "Madam, I was wrong, please forgive me! I won't dare to do it again! If I turn myself in, I will definitely go to jail, please let me go!"
Her cries were miserable and her face was full of fear and despair.
At this critical moment, Yan Shu came towards the warehouse with a servant and a girl.
Yan Shu walked calmly and slowly to the door of the warehouse. When he passed by Wei Ersao who was kneeling on the ground, he glanced sideways slightly, his eyes revealing obvious contempt and disdain.
His eyes were as cold as ice, as if Wei Ersao was some disgusting and dirty thing, and it would be unnecessary to look at her any more.
There was a look of condescending disdain in his eyes, as if silently mocking Wei Ersao's stupidity and greed.
At this moment, Wei Ersao's heart was filled with guilt towards Madam Wei and fear of her own actions, and she did not notice Yan Shu's contemptuous look.
There is still one stupid person in the Wei family.
Yan Shu sneered imperceptibly.
Yan Shu walked straight towards the warehouse with the servant and the girl. The guard at the door was about to stop them, but when he saw Yan Shu's cold yet somewhat majestic expression, he unconsciously made way.
