Madam Meng's expression changed, and her brows furrowed with anger.
Wei Wei stood there watching her stride away, a cold smile finally appearing in her eyes.
This time, you can slowly fight like dogs.
Before she left Tingfeng Pavilion, she made a point of visiting Granny Chun, who was hiding in the side room and nowhere to be seen.
He didn't say anything.
The sight of the old woman standing blankly at the doorway was enough to send shivers down one's spine.
"Young Madam..." Granny Chun called out in a trembling voice.
Wei Wei smiled and said, "I still remember the scene when Granny Zhang lived here. In the blink of an eye, everything has changed."
Granny Chun was so frightened that her face turned even paler. Her heart was pounding, as if reminding her that she could not get through today's ordeal no matter what!
"You know what? I trusted you completely." Wei Wei's face showed regret: "But you betrayed me."
At this moment, Granny Chun felt that the young mistress in front of her was extremely strange. When she saw the two other maids behind her who were not smiling, she wanted to cry even more.
Without hesitation, he knelt down and wept bitterly: "This old servant had no choice...this old servant didn't want this either!"
"But the young master ordered... if this old servant disobeys, he will definitely beat me to death!"
"I know."
Wei Wei nodded: "Everyone has things they can't control, but one should have a conscience."
She asked with a half-smile, "I heard that you had a son when you were young. Although you divorced your husband, your son was very filial to you."
"You had another grandson a couple of years ago, didn't you? He's so chubby and cute."
Granny Chun's terror was deafening!
She stared intently, wishing she could faint on the spot.
She rarely spoke of this matter to outsiders, and somehow Wei Wei found out about it!
He burst into tears and crawled on his knees toward Wei Wei, crying so hard he could barely breathe.
"This old servant was wrong... This old servant's son is in poor health, and this is his only child in this life!"
"Young mistress, please forgive this old servant... but please take my life!"
Wei Wei laughed: "I just said that everyone has their own difficulties. I understand you, and you should understand me too—you saw it yourself, I almost got killed by the First Madam."
"So I had no choice but to use some external connections to protect myself."
Granny Chun collapsed to the ground, her face turning pale.
The old lady is ruthless, but this quiet young mistress is the real master who doesn't show her true colors!
If she hadn't gotten the forgiveness from the person in front of her, she might never have seen her grandson again.
Seeing that she was about to be scared to death, Wei Wei slowly asked, "Didn't Lin Mama, who serves Madam, come to my courtyard a couple of days ago?"
The stunned Granny Chun was speechless.
Until he met Wei Wei's expressionless face.
"Yes, yes, yes!" She nodded so hard her head almost broke off, "She's here...she's here!"
"Does Granny remember which day it was?"
Seeing that Granny Chun was like a puppet on a string, Wei Wei pursed her lips and gently reminded her, "That child Zhi Nan broke my dressing case. The things inside fell out and many are missing."
"Granny, do you know there was half a priceless jade pendant inside? Now it's gone. If she didn't take it, then you must have taken it."
At this point, he took out half of the jade pendant from his sleeve and handed it to her: "Look carefully, don't forget it."
——
She had no control over what turmoil was about to befall the Meng family. As soon as the carriage stopped, she couldn't wait to enter the mansion.
Contrary to expectations, the Wei family residence was not shrouded in gloom. Upon learning of Wei Wei's return, Mr. and Mrs. Wei greeted her with smiles as they came out from the reception room.
Zhou Jin and Leng Pusheng, who had just left the Meng residence, followed behind them.
"Wei'er, you're back! Come quickly and meet your Brother Leng and Brother Zhou. If it weren't for them today, your mother and I would be in grave danger."
Wei Wei's eyes reddened as she looked at her parents, who showed no sign of danger, her face devoid of any smile.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Mr. Wei belatedly realized that his daughter had mentioned something a few days earlier when she came back.
He felt a pang of guilt: "It was an old acquaintance who was in a hurry to deliver the goods... that's why we went out of the city."
He said, "I made a special inquiry before I went out, and there have been quite a lot of people coming in and out of the city recently, but I didn't find anything amiss..."
Wei Wei laughed angrily after hearing this: "So you don't believe what your daughter says?"
Seeing her on the verge of tears, Wei's father felt a sudden pang of guilt.
Wei's mother rushed forward and grabbed her hand, saying, "It's our fault. We will never take chances again."
"My dear daughter, don't be sad anymore."
Wei Wei, who hadn't shed a tear before, couldn't hold back any longer upon hearing this. She wiped the corners of her eyes several times with a handkerchief before finally stopping the tears.
She sniffled, her voice still trembling with tears: "I only hope that Father and Mother remember these words."
"I remember! I remember! I will definitely remember!"
They repeatedly assured her that this finally made Wei Wei stop crying and start smiling.
Leng Pusheng and Zhou Jin, who were standing to the side, exchanged a glance and were about to say goodbye when Wei Wei turned her gaze toward them.
"I have no way to repay the life-saving grace of the two heroes. Only by offering a hundred taels of silver can I feel a little more at ease."
She looked at the Wei family steward who was standing there: "Go to the storeroom and get the silver."
The housekeeper hurried off to take care of it.
Zhou Jin immediately replied, "It's just a small matter, there's no need for such formality."
Wei Wei sighed deeply: "To be honest, I have a request."
Leng Pusheng had already anticipated what she was going to say, so he remained silent.
Zhou Jin was about to ask when he saw that the person next to him remained unmoved, so he smiled awkwardly and said, "Just say what you need, and we'll definitely help."
