The Zhu family patriarch was choked by Madam Zhu and was speechless. After a while, he apologized to Chu Xixuan, "The eldest daughter-in-law is not in a clear state of mind today. I will lock her up first and try her another day!"
Chu Xixuan turned to look at Lan Ziye, who was just about to speak.
The eldest lady yelled again, "Don't you want to know why I wanted to kill Zhu Fei? Because Zhu Fei knew that it was me who killed the fifth brother and his wife. It was me who put drugs in the milk powder of that stupid girl Zhu Ning, making her a waste. It was me, it was all me! But all this was caused by the head of the family! I hate you!" As she said that, she pointed her hand at the head of the Zhu family.
The Zhu family's patriarch looked at Madam Zhu in shock. After a long pause, he stammered, "What?"
Zhu Ning and Lan Ziye were equally shocked: It was Madam Zhu who drugged Zhu Ning, not the wet nurse? So why did the wet nurse admit it?
Madam Zhu smiled bitterly and said, "I've known Fifth Brother longer than anyone else. Master, do you remember twenty-five years ago? My father brought me to the Zhu family as a guest. You adults were discussing matters in the house and let me go play in the yard. At that time, none of the children in the yard wanted to play with me. They all looked down on me, thinking I was the child of a servant. Only Fifth Brother took me out to play. His smile at that moment was engraved in my heart."
"Later, I met my fifth brother again at my master's place. He was still as sunny and kind as before. He recognized me at first sight that day, and we had a very pleasant chat. If we could get married, we would be a couple like gods. Master, why don't you insist a little longer? As long as you insist a little longer, the master's wife will definitely not break up the couple. Besides, what did you promise my father? You said that I could choose any of your sons, but you broke your promise!" Madam Zhu became emotional as she spoke.
The head of the Zhu family turned pale, his face full of disbelief. After a long while, he asked in a dry, old voice, "Is this why you killed the fifth brother and his wife?" He paused, then almost hoarsely said, "Yes, I admit that we have high expectations for the fifth brother. He is the best son of our Zhu family in terms of talent, character and talent, and the heir to the Zhu family that his mother and I have chosen. We need to find him a marriage that can help him. Our Zhu family also needs an outstanding son to marry into the other five major families. But before I made this decision, I asked the fifth brother, and he didn't have any feelings for you at all. On the contrary, the eldest brother fell in love with you at first sight. We made this decision after considering many factors!"
"Yes, I know Fifth Brother doesn't have that kind of feelings for me, but does he have that kind of feelings for Miss Meng? They've only met a few times, how could there be any feelings?" The eldest lady of the Zhu family said with tears in her eyes, "Since Fifth Brother doesn't like everyone, why can't he like me? Why can't he like me?"
"Boss, you are one of the most outstanding children in our Zhu family, and he really wants to marry you. Why can't you be content?" The head of the Zhu family felt a dull pain in his heart and said hatefully.
The legitimate sons of the five major families, who are also good-looking, talented and gifted, all have to consider their marriages again and again, taking into account the interests of all parties. How could they possibly marry a daughter of an ordinary family background and a small family? God knows how much pressure he took on the family when he agreed to the eldest son marrying the first wife.
