Wei's mother stopped chatting with others and instead held her hand, asking in a low voice, "I heard that Old Madam Meng's sister came looking for us a few days ago, but was later driven away."
"Mother originally intended to send someone to ask, but since she's coming to Master Lu's place for a banquet today, she's decided to ask her today as well."
Wei Wei said, "They are people you would never have the chance to meet in eight lifetimes, yet they came into the mansion with malicious intentions."
"I didn't spoil my daughter either; I taught them a lesson. They won't dare to cause trouble again."
Mother Wei nodded: "I'm very happy that you can stand on your own now. I'm just afraid that family is not easy to deal with and is still looking for trouble."
Wei Wei knew her concerns and comforted her, "Don't worry, I know about their little tricks in Loucheng. They left the city gate early this morning and won't dare to come back in anytime soon."
Only then was Mother Wei relieved.
Ever since her daughter married into the Meng family, she has experienced an unusually large number of hardships.
If Wei Wei hadn't kept reassuring herself to stay calm and that there was a way to resolve the issue, she would have already taken her whole family to seek justice for her daughter.
Fortunately, things have taken a turn for the better, and the bitter times are finally over.
But it would be even better if the son-in-law, who has been missing for a long time, were to return.
Her daughter doesn't have to live such a tiring life.
Even now, Wei's mother is still very puzzled.
"The master of the family said that he had taken Zhixuan to another place to recuperate, but everyone searched all the estates and asked many people, but still could not find him."
"Where did he go?"
Where did he go? Of course, he went to the eighteenth level of hell.
Wei Wei smiled and replied, "Mother, don't worry. As long as there's no bad news about him, that's good news."
“Even though he’s not home, I will still manage the Meng family well.”
"If he comes back, it will be a happy reunion. If he doesn't come back, I will go to find him."
Mother Wei sighed and whispered, "Poor child."
If only I hadn't agreed to their marriage back then.
He's blessed to have a beautiful and kind woman.
It's not appropriate to keep talking about your family matters in this place.
Wei Wei quickly shifted her attention, talking about how grand the celebrations for Lu Yuanwai's mother's 60th birthday were.
Watching her mother and others chatting animatedly, Wei Wei lowered her eyes and nervously fidgeted with something hidden in her sleeve.
It feels hard to the touch and is oval in shape.
This realization made her heart pound wildly.
She dared not think any further, afraid that her unusual expression would attract the attention of others.
Just as the banquet was about to begin, Madam Wei finally walked in from outside.
However, she didn't come over here; instead, she sat down in another seat.
Wei Wei had many questions to ask her, but she also knew that now was not the right time.
The banquet was lively, but when Wei Wei glanced at Madam Wei, she received no response from her.
Several times their eyes almost met, but they turned away at the last moment.
Wei Wei finally understood.
It seems that Mrs. Wei does not want anyone to know about her relationship with her.
In the end, they had no choice but to give up.
The hall was bustling for a long time, and Master Lu also brought his entire family to toast each of them.
When the banquet ended, Wei Wei looked towards Madam Wei again, only to find that she had already left.
For a moment, I felt extremely disappointed.
Wei's mother glanced at her several times, and finally couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you today? Why are you so distracted?"
No one knows a daughter better than her mother; she only had to relax her expression slightly for her mother to notice.
"I was just thinking that now that Zhixuan is nowhere to be found, I don't know much about the Meng family's shops."
"Should we reduce some of the family's businesses to prevent others from taking advantage of the situation and causing us to suffer losses?"
After thinking for a moment, Wei's mother said, "Your concerns are not unfounded. But if we keep it hidden, how will we explain it to our son-in-law when he comes back?"
Before Wei Wei could answer, she added, "Never mind, let's talk about it when he comes back."
"If you find it too hard, it's better to live an honest life. It's safer to convert those things outside into silver and keep it on your person."
She squeezed her daughter's hand: "If you encounter any difficulties, tell your father and ask him to help you."
Upon hearing this, Wei Wei's eyes nearly squinted with laughter.
She hugged her mother and said in a slightly coquettish tone, "My mother is still the best to me."
Mother Wei looked at her reproachfully: "I thought you were still a young lady in your prime. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
Wei Wei ignored her and simply walked beside her with extreme dependence.
Since her own family has no objection to the industry's downsizing, others have no right to say anything, even if they have problems.
And she wasn't going to back down immediately, but was waiting for the most suitable opportunity.
Let's wait until before the New Year.
Without any hesitation, she converted everything belonging to the Meng family into silver.
The mother and daughter chatted and laughed as they walked out of the second gate and headed towards the main gate.
Just then, they suddenly heard a commotion outside.
The voices of those people were filled with terror; they sounded incredibly frightened.
"Murder! Murder!"
The people who hadn't even left the door started to get restless, and Wei's mother instinctively grabbed Wei Wei's hand.
They followed the crowd out the door, where they were surrounded by a large, gathered population.
Wei Cheng came out before them, and probably saw Wei Wei's figure at this moment, so she squeezed out of the crowd.
Her face was pale, and her eyes held disbelief, confusion, and unease.
His whole body was trembling slightly.
The sound seemed to be squeezed out of the throat.
"Madam Wei is dead."
Wei Wei suddenly let go of her mother's hand and rushed into the crowd with extremely fast movements.
The carriage, which had been quietly parked to one side, was now empty.
Because Madam Wei, her maid, and the groom were all lying on the ground, twisted and undignified.
All three men had been deeply stabbed in the throat, and blood spread throughout their bodies.
Someone was still speaking in a terrified voice.
"A man in black suddenly flew down from the roof... He was holding a sword, and his first target was the stable boy!"
"The horses neighed, opened their reins, and disappeared from sight; the carriage nearly overturned..."
"The man in black flew onto the carriage floor, pulled the little maid out, and then asked Madam Wei something with a fierce expression."
"Perhaps the man in black got angry because he couldn't get anything out of them..."
"After killing the person, it flew away again!"
One after another, those who saw it said similar things.
But all of this seems to be a layer away from Wei Wei.
She simply walked toward the spot where Madam Wei's body was covered in blood.
In the end, Wei Cheng held him back tightly.
