Wei Wei turned to look at Granny Chun: "I would like to trouble Granny Chun to go to my father in person and tell him what happened today."
"As a junior, I can't speak ill of my elders. He is the head of the family, but there's nothing I can't say about him!"
After Granny Chun received the order, she left.
She then had Meng Zhixuan carried back into the house.
As Madam Meng watched her son getting further and further away, she was unwilling but also afraid. She feared that if she said another word, her son would lose his life.
All I could do was complain that I wanted to rest at her place too.
However, Wei Wei disagreed.
“My mother’s health is indeed not good, and I feel uneasy with you here. I can’t bear the responsibility if anything happens to you.”
Madam Meng gasped for breath and could no longer speak. Those around her were completely disoriented and their legs went weak at the mere glance from Wei Wei.
Even if they were unwilling, they could only drag Madam Meng away in a huff.
The courtyard quieted down, and Wei Wei returned to the house.
Meng Zhixuan was now unrecognizable, with small pebbles stuck to his face.
Wei Wei showed no intention of calling a doctor.
He sat down next to her, took a sip of tea, and began to talk about his trip to see Jiang Changhe.
"Miss Jiang is indeed very beautiful. Wearing a white dress, she looks like a fairy descended from heaven."
She glanced at Meng Zhixuan, who looked neither human nor ghost, and clicked her tongue: "Compared to this, Zhixuan, you're like mud in a stinking ditch, not even worthy to carry her shoes."
"That means I still want you."
Meng Zhixuan was agitated, and his eyelids began to flutter violently again.
His uninjured fingers twitched, and he suddenly grabbed Wei Wei's skirt, which was scattered on the bed.
This startled Wei Wei, who thought he had woken up.
Although Meng Zhixuan's eyelids kept twitching, he couldn't open his eyes.
Anxiety and anger appeared on that disfigured face.
His mouth opened and closed silently several times, but he couldn't utter a single word.
Wei Wei moved closer to him and asked, "What do you want to say? Does your face hurt?"
"Don't worry, I'll apply the medicine for you myself right now, and I guarantee it won't leave any scars."
She sighed, "Your mother is always causing trouble; she's thinking of making your life miserable."
"But don't worry, with me here, no one will take your life."
You deserve to be a beast, worse off than dead.
After saying that, she forcefully pulled her skirt out of his hands and called for Xiaoyue to fetch water.
The closer you get to him, the more you can smell the stench of decay emanating from his bandaged arm.
Wei Wei fanned her nose with her hand and said with disgust, "It stinks."
——
An argument broke out at Wanshou Hall.
I don't know what Granny Chun said, but Master Meng got very angry.
He gave Madam Meng a good scolding and warned her not to provoke Wei Wei again.
How could Madam Meng willingly allow herself to be constantly targeted by the Meng family?
He was naturally strong-willed, and when he rushed forward, he was ready to fight Lord Meng to the death.
Enraged, Master Meng immediately left the house.
It's not entirely his fault for siding with Wei Wei.
Meng Zhixuan is now unconscious, and they have no idea how to contact that "benefactor" or what to do next.
They've practically lost all contact.
The Meng family seemed to have encountered an evil spirit, and Master Meng, not wanting to cause any more trouble, decided to treat Wei Wei the same way he had before.
Calm her down, and we'll make a decision after Meng Zhixuan wakes up.
Madam Meng felt deeply wronged, as even her husband was siding with outsiders.
Of course, he was furious.
The two parted on bad terms, and their resentment towards each other escalated rapidly.
When you're angry, unexpected accidents can happen.
In the middle of the night, news came from Wanshou Hall.
When Xiao Qiao'er, who was on duty, spoke to Wei Wei in a low voice, she was a little embarrassed.
Her blushing face was very shy and pretty.
Wei Wei was extremely surprised, yet somewhat expected. She raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is this true?"
Xiao Qiao nodded vigorously: "Brother Leng saw it with his own eyes and asked if Miss wanted to go and see what was going on."
Wei Wei nodded with a smile: "Of course we have to watch this excitement."
Not only did she want to see it, she also wanted to invite her dear second aunt to go see it together.
When Madam Meng heard that Wei Wei had come to visit, she was already almost asleep.
Perhaps thinking that the two of them got along fairly well today, and that past grudges could be forgotten with a smile, it also meant one less enemy.
Wei Wei must have come here to befriend him, so he got up again.
Wei Wei had indeed come to befriend her.
She brought all the gifts she brought from the Jiang residence today.
She even added several more items from her own dowry.
"You're here, why are you carrying so much stuff?"
Madam Meng Er's face lit up with a smile as she looked at the dazzling array of precious items on the table, her eyes brimming with undisguised greed.
Wei Wei smiled. If she didn't bring so many nice things, she would feel guilty later.
This is a transaction; we can only proceed to the next step after we receive the goods.
Her smile quickly revealed a hint of reluctance: "Actually, my niece-in-law came here this time to trouble my second aunt."
Madam Meng looked at her in surprise and asked, "What happened?"
She then distanced herself from the matter, saying, "Don't bother me with troublesome things. Your second aunt isn't very capable or competent."
Wei Wei was speechless.
Pressing her twitching eyelids, she patiently said, "Don't worry, Second Aunt, I just want you to act as a middleman for me—you must have heard about what happened to my mother at Tingfeng Pavilion today."
"I have been feeling uneasy ever since she left, and I have been regretting that I was too impulsive and shouldn't have made her angry."
"She was already in poor health; a gust of wind could blow her over. Then she had a fight with her father... If she gets so angry that she can't sleep tonight, it will all be my fault."
Upon hearing this, Madam Meng breathed a sigh of relief: "You mean you want me to take you to talk to your mother? I'll act as a mediator?"
Wei Wei smiled and nodded: "Second Aunt is really amazing, that's exactly what I meant!"
This was nothing more than a small matter, and she could take this opportunity to get a good look at that rival who didn't respect her just because she was the eldest daughter-in-law of the Meng family.
What good is being powerful before? Now I'm in charge, aren't I?
Madam Meng readily agreed.
In order to see her make a fool of herself and show off her power, Madam Meng even asked her maid to add an extra gold hairpin, apply lipstick, and change her clothes.
She wanted to dress up beautifully to see that haggard old woman!
Watching her busy herself, Wei Wei's guilt, which she had just suppressed, slowly crept back up.
His lips twitched, and wrinkles appeared between his brows.
Tsk! Since we're all going to find out anyway, it's better to get it over with quickly than to suffer for a long time.
Wei Wei comforted herself for a moment. Each of them, preoccupied with their own thoughts, headed towards Wanshou Hall.
