The officer carefully compared her handwriting with the handwriting in the account book. After a while, his eyes widened and he said in disbelief, "This... this handwriting is exactly the same!"
His voice was full of shock and his eyes were wide open, as if he had seen something incredible.
His face was full of confusion. He repeatedly compared the handwriting on the two pieces of paper, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.
This result made Su Huaiyue a little confused. She stared at the two pieces of paper blankly, feeling mixed emotions.
Could it really be this woman who did it? But she has no tongue, and seems to be controlled by someone. What secret is hidden in this?
The officers and soldiers didn't care about that. Seeing the irrefutable evidence, they waved their hands and said, "Come here, take this woman back to the government office!"
Several officers and soldiers stepped forward and roughly grabbed the woman's arms. The woman did not resist, but a trace of despair flashed in her eyes.
Yan Shu looked at this scene, a coldness flashed across his eyes, he gently waved his folding fan, turned around and left, his posture was elegant but also revealed a bit of indifference.
After the officers and soldiers left, the rest of the people had basically dispersed, leaving only the Wei family members in the house.
The moonlight is like water, sprinkling in the courtyard, but it cannot dispel the haze in everyone's hearts.
Madam Wei looked in the direction where the officers and soldiers left and sighed slightly. The wrinkles on her face appeared even deeper under the moonlight.
She turned her head and looked at Wei Ersao, who was hiding aside with a panicked look on her face, her eyes full of disappointment and helplessness.
"Second brother, go back and reflect on your actions. Don't do such foolish things again."
Her voice was tired and hoarse, and it was obvious that she was exhausted by the incident tonight.
When Wei Ersao heard this, she felt as if she had been pardoned. She fell to her knees on the ground with a plop, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
"Thank you, Madam, thank you for forgiving me... I will definitely behave myself in the future and never dare to do it again..."
She cried and kowtowed, her forehead hitting the stone floor with a dull sound.
Madam Wei frowned slightly and waved her hand, not wanting to see her like this anymore.
Seeing this, Wei Ersao quickly got up and ran away in a hurry. Her panicked back stretched out in the moonlight.
Madam Wei sighed deeply, then slowly walked up to Su Huaiyue and Wei Che, gently patted Su Huaiyue's hand, and softly comforted her, "Huaiyue, Che'er, you've worked hard this time, but fortunately, there is a result."
Her eyes were full of fatigue and relief. After she finished speaking, she turned and left without mentioning Wei Ersao. She just signaled Wei Yunrou to take Wei Ersao back to rest.
Su Huaiyue actually knew very well what Madam Wei meant, but she didn't say anything.
Wei Che, on the other hand, suddenly stood up and said in a deep voice, "Yun Rou, call my second sister-in-law over."
Wei Yunrou was slightly stunned, hesitated for a moment, nodded, and turned to call Wei Ersao.
Wei Che gave another order, asking all the servants of the Wei family to come over.
After a while, Wei Ersao came crying.
Seeing Wei Che standing there with a cold face, she panicked and knelt down with a plop, crying even louder: "Fifth brother, I was wrong, I really won't do it again, please forgive me this time!"
Her face was covered with tears, her hair was a little messy, and she looked in a state of disarray.
Wei Che looked at her with cold eyes: "Second sister-in-law, the person you should apologize to is not me, but the eldest sister-in-law. Meiyan Pavilion can be said to be the hard work of the eldest sister-in-law. If it weren't for the eldest sister-in-law, there would be no Wei family today. Your actions today are not only irresponsible to the Wei family, but also contempt for the eldest sister-in-law.
His voice was not loud, but every word was clear and all the servants present could hear it clearly.
Wei Che paused and raised his voice: "From today on, the right to speak and make decisions in the Wei family will be respected by the eldest sister-in-law, not me, Wei Che. From now on, everyone in the Wei family, including Meiyan Pavilion, must listen to the eldest sister-in-law."
This action surprised Su Huaiyue very much. She widened her eyes and looked at Wei Che, her eyes full of surprise and doubt.
Wei Che smiled at her, his eyes filled with determination and trust: "Sister-in-law, don't feel pressured. I believe you can lead the Wei family to better and better."
Then, Wei Che looked at Wei Ersao: "Second sister-in-law, apologize to the eldest sister-in-law."
Wei Ersao did not dare to disobey, and quickly turned to Su Huaiyue, crying and said: "Sister-in-law, I was wrong, please forgive me!"
Su Huaiyue looked at her and sighed inwardly: "Second sister-in-law, I can forgive you, but you must not do it again in the future. I will deprive you of the right to participate in the management of Meiyan Pavilion. From now on, you can stay in the Wei family with peace of mind. The money will be withheld for two months, and it will return to normal after two months."
Even though Wei Ersao was reluctant in her heart, she did not dare to refute and could only nod repeatedly: "Sister-in-law, I understand. I will listen to you."
After Wei Ersao left, everyone in the Wei family also gradually dispersed.
Only Su Huaiyue and Wei Che were left in the warehouse. The candlelight flickered, and light and shadow danced on their faces.
Su Huaiyue looked at Wei Che and said softly, "Wei Che, you don't need to do this. After all, you are the backbone of the Wei family."
There was a hint of sincerity and worry in her eyes, and in the candlelight, her slightly furrowed brows added a touch of charming charm.
Wei Che did not answer directly. He walked quietly to the table, picked up the teapot, and slowly poured a bowl of tea.
The steaming tea created wisps of mist that blurred his face.
His fingers were long and bony, shining with a warm luster under the candlelight, and every move he made exuded calmness and elegance.
After a while, Wei Che slowly turned around, holding a bowl of tea in his hand, looking deeply at Su Huaiyue.
The candlelight softened his outline, yet made his deep eyes even brighter, the glimmer in his eyes seeming to hide stars.
"Su Huaiyue," he said softly, his voice low and magnetic, "My legs are already a thing of the past, and the Su Huaiyue of the past is also a thing of the past."
He paused slightly, a faint smile on his lips, "You are now worthy of being called the backbone."
His eyes were full of trust and appreciation, as if Su Huaiyue in front of him was the most trustworthy person in the world.
Su Huaiyue was dazzled for a moment, and her heart seemed to be gently touched by something.
She knew that Wei Che still felt a dull pain in his injured leg and was unable to exert strength, but Wei Che never said a word.
Now, he actually said so calmly that he had let it go. What a magnanimity he had.
No wonder it left a profound mark in history books.
Su Huaiyue felt mixed emotions, including being moved, admiring, and an indescribable emotion spreading in her heart.
She took the tea, tilted her head back and drank it all in one gulp. The warm tea flowed down her throat and warmed her heart.
She looked at Wei Che with a firm look in her eyes: "I will never let you down."
