She said with dissatisfaction, "No matter what, I was personally married into the family by the master. I am the only legitimate wife in this mansion, and no one can get past me."
She spoke with such conviction, holding onto the power in her hands tightly.
“There’s nothing to be afraid of in this world. What’s most frightening is the scheming of people’s hearts.” She said this, then, remembering that something seemed amiss at home, she changed her words: “No matter what the scheming is, there will always be a time to resolve it.”
"If you really think that something unclean is haunting your household, then go outside and invite a master to come and chant some sutras. That would be a way to pray for blessings."
She said calmly, not believing that ghosts were really at work. If ghosts really existed, then those who died at her hands, like Yue Niang, should have already come looking for her, but she had never encountered any.
Having killed so many people, she no longer believed in the so-called blessings and afterlife, but she still couldn't help but soften towards her daughters-in-law. She looked at her grandson, who was more sensible.
As she spoke, Madam Meng chased the maid out and ignored her.
Inside the study, Wenwu was still painting. The beauty in the painting was none other than Yueniang. He stared at the painting in his hands and said in a daze, "Yueniang, why don't you come to see me in my dreams? I really like you, I really like you!"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but burst into tears.
He did many outrageous things in his youth, one of which was kidnapping someone and causing Yue Niang's mother to die of anger. But at that time, he genuinely wanted to spend his life with this person, but fate played a cruel trick on him, and he was not fortunate enough to have that blessing. He could only watch helplessly as Yue Niang was plotted against and died.
“I’ve never really liked that Meng woman, but my family does. I thought about marrying her and then just leaving her there, ignoring her, and then living happily with you. But why won’t you give me that chance?”
As he spoke, he became so emotional that he cried again. Then he called the children to his side and gave each of them a gift.
The maid then requested an audience with Wenwu Quan, told him about what had happened in the mansion, and begged him to take charge.
"Master, I don't know why, but I'm terrified by this matter. That person's death was too gruesome. I'm not afraid it's someone's deliberate revenge, but I'm afraid they'll try to harm you." The maidservant became quite articulate around Wenwu Quan, rattling off sentences one after another: "I know you are blessed with good fortune and ancestral protection, so there shouldn't be any major problems, but the whole household is still worried about you. In my opinion, you should have more people around you, and the household should investigate thoroughly to prevent any slip-ups that could harm that master."
As the maid spoke, she slightly raised her neck, revealing her slender neck.
Half-drunk and half-awake, Wenwuquan raised his eyes with a half-smile upon hearing her words: "The affairs of this mansion are all handled by the Madam, so there's no need for you to meddle. Even without the Madam, it's not your place as a maid to speak out. Do you think I'm too good-tempered in this mansion, so you try to ride on my head in everything?"
By the end, Wenwu's face darkened, and he looked quite fierce. The maid was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, "Master, I really have no intentions. I just want to stay by your side and serve you well. I have no other thoughts."
