Jiang Yu has been ill for several years, and Wei Wenxuan has gained enough reputation by keeping a sick wife by his side.
It's time for her to take the position of the legal wife!
Jiang Yu turned pale upon hearing the news.
Liu's mother burst into tears: "Poor girl! How could she have met such a vicious woman!"
The other servants in the courtyard didn't even dare to breathe too heavily.
They had long known that Aunt Chu was skilled in scheming. Over the years, she had devised one plan after another, and those who offended her were either killed or maimed—it was terrifying enough.
It's truly unbelievable that she would dare to murder the legal wife.
Aunt Chu kept the money, which allowed her to sleep soundly and even use it to support her family in exchange for a good reputation.
She even arranged for her relatives to stay at Jiang Yu's estate, gradually eroding the original forces, all in preparation for a complete replacement.
Such a person is truly ruthless.
Many timid servants dared not look at Aunt Chu anymore, as if she were some kind of demon.
They were busy until late at night just compiling a list of the crimes committed by Aunt Chu.
Once all the documents were gathered together, Jiang Tian lazily looked at Wei Wenxuan and ordered, "Release his pressure points."
Even after the acupoints were released, Wei Wenxuan remained silent.
His face was ashen, and he looked utterly disheveled.
Who would have thought that the usually understanding and empathetic person could be so vicious as to be terrifying!
Wei Wenxuan's hands were trembling, and he staggered when he stood up.
He hurried a few steps and stopped in front of Aunt Chu.
"You bitch! Is this how you manage my household?!"
Aunt Chu, whose heart was already ashen, couldn't help but raise her head and cry out to Wei Wenxuan, "Master, I did this for you, for our family!" when she heard Wei Wenxuan call her a slut.
"The household is running a deficit, and Jiang Yu's dowry is just sitting there; she can't manage it properly. I just want to ensure you have no worries about the future!"
She had barely finished speaking when Wei Wenxuan kicked her in the chest.
Aunt Chu's face turned deathly pale, and she was in so much pain that she couldn't even scream.
Jiang Yu, watching from the side, was startled.
Wei Wenxuan looked at Aunt Chu with disheveled hair, paused for a moment, and said only one sentence: "I will leave you a whole corpse."
Years of friendship left no trace in his heart.
Aunt Chu tried to grab his foot, but Wei Wenxuan kicked her away.
Jiang Tian chuckled softly from the side: "Does Lord Wei think this is a family matter? When Jiang Yu got married, there were a total of 126 loads of dowry, ten of which were treasures bestowed by the palace. Aunt Chu even dared to steal things from the palace, so settling this privately is far too perfunctory."
Fueled by rage, Wei Wenxuan was no longer afraid of Jiang Tian: "Then what does Madam intend to do?"
Jiang Tian curled her lips: "Ordinary people know to report their suffering to the authorities, but you don't?"
Wei Wenxuan's expression changed immediately.
Even if someone dies, only those living inside the inner quarters know what happens there.
But if it goes to the authorities, it will become a topic of conversation among the public.
Wei Wenxuan was extremely concerned about his reputation, and he immediately denied Jiang Tian's words: "This is a matter of our Wei family, and it has nothing to do with Madam. I am grateful to you for cleaning up my family, but you don't need to worry about anything else."
Jiang Tian chuckled softly: "You really think too highly of yourself. Was I asking for your opinion? To tell you the truth, I already sent someone to report to the authorities. I reckon they'll be here soon."
Wei Wenxuan's heart skipped a beat: "Who told you to do this!"
