When Wei Wei arrived home, Lin's mother was being carried out wrapped in a tattered mat.
Wei Wei felt no remorse for her death.
She followed Madam Meng as an accomplice to evil, and she was never absent from any of the bad deeds.
With her dead, Madam Meng was like a toothless tiger, much of a threat gone.
When Granny Chun recounted this incident with trepidation, Wei Wei was having Xiao Qiao'er wipe her freshly washed hair.
"Mother Lin said she sold the jade pendant, but she didn't know where she sold it to."
It would be strange if you actually knew.
Whenever Granny Chun thought about the scenes she had just witnessed, she felt a chill run down her spine.
When Lin's mother died, she was no longer recognizable as a human being.
She was forced to confess through torture!
Looking at the young mistress's calm face, a chill ran down my spine.
Granny Chun silently raised her hand to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead, and suddenly remembered something.
Her purpose in coming to Tingfeng Pavilion.
Every time she brewed medicine, she added the ingredients herself, and the medicine bowl was always empty.
If this kind-faced but cold-hearted young mistress knew that she was drinking poison instead of good medicine every day, wouldn't her fate be even more miserable?
Unfortunately, what she feared most came to pass.
Wei Wei suddenly turned around and asked, "Why hasn't Granny Chun gone to brew the medicine yet today?"
Oh! Someone please save her!
Granny Chun's face was as white as a ghost: "Young Madam... that medicine... actually that medicine..."
Just as she was wondering how to say it, Wei Wei glanced at her and said, "That medicine tastes very good, so please don't stop taking it, Granny."
That's a deadly thing!
If she finds out later, she and her son and grandson will be dead.
Thinking of this, she knelt down on the ground with the greatest courage she had ever shown in her life: "Young Madam, that medicine..."
Xiao Yue'er lifted the curtain from the outside and glanced at Granny Chun, then said in a deep voice, "The eldest young master has arrived."
Startled, Granny Chun immediately shut her mouth tightly.
Meng Zhixuan had already strode in.
"What is Vera doing?"
Upon seeing Granny Chun kneeling on the ground, his eyes darkened slightly.
"What's wrong with Granny Chun this time?"
Granny Chun was drenched in cold sweat, her mouth opening and closing in vain without uttering a word. Wei Wei immediately glared at her and scolded, "Don't say a word!"
Granny Chun breathed a sigh of relief and hung her head to listen to the young mistress's nonsense.
Meng Zhixuan smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes: "What do you mean you can't say it? Is Wei'er still angry?"
Wei Wei just kept looking down at her hands.
Her hands were fair and delicate, healthy and beautiful.
She will use these hands to kill all her enemies, one by one.
The next moment, Meng Zhixuan grasped her hand, and his voice lowered slightly: "It was my oversight that my mother came to cause trouble today, and it was also my fault for not accompanying you home to visit your parents."
"Whatever punishment Wei'er wishes to give me, I will accept it all."
Is this some kind of disgusting act?
Wei Wei looked up at him, her face showing little emotion: "Zhi Xuan is busy with important matters; how could I let you worry about these trivial things?"
Meng Zhixuan sighed and smiled helplessly: "Are you really angry?"
He glanced at Granny Chun again: "Even if you're angry, you shouldn't punish Granny Chun. She's served the old lady for most of her life. If the old lady finds out, she'll overthink it."
Wei Wei snorted and pulled her hand out of his grasp, pointing at the person on the ground: "This clueless thing. I already said she didn't want to take her medicine today, but she's kneeling on the ground and refuses to leave!"
"How can this not be infuriating?"
Granny Chun's eyes lit up, and she thought to herself that this excuse was brilliant!
He immediately put on a mournful face and said, "It's a small matter for the young mistress to throw a tantrum, but it's a big problem for her to be willful and disregard her health! Young Master, please persuade the young mistress!"
Meng Zhixuan's face turned cold as expected: "You just fainted again today, how can you be so willful and reckless?"
"Go and brew the medicine. I'll talk to the young mistress."
Granny Chun fled as if granted a pardon, and Meng Zhixuan also spoke softly.
"I'll accompany you to your parents' home first thing tomorrow morning to visit them."
"I will definitely endure their beatings and scoldings in front of them!"
Looking at his dramatic and emotional performance, Wei Wei was very confused. The jade pendant had already been "sold" by Lin Mama, so why did he still have to put on such a show for her?
Looking at him now, the shadow that had been hanging over him seems to have disappeared.
What are they planning this time?
Something unusual must be going on.
Since he still wants to act, I'll accompany him for a while, so as not to catch her off guard like today.
Wei Wei agreed.
Only after seeing Wei Wei drink the medicine did Meng Zhixuan leave, satisfied.
This time she didn't vomit the medicine again; Granny Chun no longer dared to tamper with it.
As night deepened, the courtyard became utterly quiet.
That evening was the time that Meng Zhixuan and Jiang Yu had agreed upon.
Unlike last time, he now sat calmly in the chair in the study, looking completely unconcerned even when the door was pushed open.
"Seventh Master, you've arrived."
Once everyone had entered the house, he slowly stood up and gave a cryptic greeting.
Jiang Yu did not respond. He slowly removed the black cloth from his face and then looked at Meng Zhixuan's arrogant and domineering appearance.
A hint of mockery flashed in his eyes.
"Seventh Master, I suppose Third Master has already mentioned it to you?" Meng Zhixuan was somewhat embarrassed and angry when he saw that he didn't speak.
Jiang Yu asked with a half-smile, "What did you mention?"
One sentence made the person in front of him turn pale and ashen.
