Wanshou Hall was unusually quiet at this moment—of course, Leng Pusheng had been asked to clear the area before we arrived.
The old woman who was originally guarding the gate had long been dragged to a corner and was fast asleep, and the extra people had also been sent away by Madam Meng in advance.
Master Meng and Madam Meng had a fight today, so he won't be coming home to rest tonight.
From the dormitory came hushed voices; if you listened carefully, you could tell it was a man and a woman.
Is that sticky, drawn-out tone a way of being coquettish?
It's surprising to see that Madam Meng could also have such a feminine side.
Madam Meng, still somewhat groggy, followed them closer before realizing her mistake. Hesitantly, she whispered, "It's so late, isn't it too presumptuous?"
"They've made up now, so let's not bother them, shall we?"
She wasn't afraid of Madam Meng, but she was somewhat afraid of Master Meng.
Wei Wei shook her head firmly: "The two of them had a big fight during the day. I heard that my father had already left the house, so I thought of coming to comfort my mother!"
At this point, she hesitated, unable to continue: "...At this moment, the person inside...may not necessarily be him..."
What did those words mean? Madam Meng's eyes widened in shock!
But then, his face lit up with excitement.
Could it be that her dear sister-in-law is having an affair?
The moment the thought popped into her head, her hands and feet began to tremble.
This was an excited tremor; it seemed that no one could shake his control over the family!
Wei Wei studied her expression for a moment, then tugged at her sleeve with a troubled expression: "If Mother really does such a thing, what should we do?"
"Maybe we should just leave..."
Madam Meng came to her senses and grabbed her hand. She had finally encountered such an opportunity, so how could she waste it?
Her tone was coaxing, but her voice also held a hint of worry: "Niece-in-law, what if a thief is inside?"
"If we leave, won't your mother be in danger?"
These words indeed made Wei Wei hesitate.
He glanced at Madam Meng and then at the tightly closed door, as if caught in a deep dilemma.
Madam Meng had no patience to wait for her vote and spoke up again: "Anyway, we're all family, so it's not shameful no matter what happens."
"If it really comes down to responsibility, the important thing is that we didn't kill your mother. You wouldn't want your mother to lose her life because of this, would you?"
Wei Wei nodded, her face full of struggle: "Then let's see first. If my mother is not threatened, then we won't go in... After all, he is an elder, and we should save face for him."
Madam Meng agreed hastily, but what she really thought was uncertain.
After tiptoeing to the door, he gave a signal, and the old woman and maid behind him rushed over and pushed the door open forcefully!
There were candles lit inside, but they were dimmed.
However, one could still clearly see the clothes piled on the ground and two figures on the bed, which were barely visible.
Upon hearing the noise, Madam Meng had already propped herself up on one side of the bed.
You can clearly see that there are two butterflies embroidered on her rose-red bodice.
Her expression was one of horror, her eyes fixed on Wei Wei, who was blocking the view of Madam Meng.
Why are you here?
"Get out of here! I don't want to see you!"
Her voice was shrill and urgent, and the person sleeping in the inner room burrowed deeper into the covers.
Wei Wei remained standing, her voice filled with regret: "What happened today was my fault, Mother. Please forgive me this once."
Madam Meng sneered from inside: "If you want me to forgive you, you'll have to send Zhixuan back to me!"
Wei Wei advised, "Mother is already ill; how can you properly take care of her?"
"Although my daughter-in-law is clumsy, she is devoted to her husband."
You can rest assured.
Madam Meng was so angry she was about to die.
Why did this persistent ghost suddenly appear in her yard?
Why didn't anyone come and remind them?
She said angrily, "If you don't agree, then get out of here! I don't want to see you at all!"
Wei Wei felt very wronged, and her eyes reddened slightly.
Madam Meng, who had been standing by and listening to their conversation, finally couldn't hold back any longer and pulled Wei Wei away.
"Sister-in-law, how can you be so stingy as a mother-in-law?"
"It's a good thing your niece-in-law was worried about your health; you should be more generous."
She's fine when she doesn't speak, but once she does, she terrifies people.
Madam Meng then realized that it wasn't just her daughter-in-law who was guessing, but also her sister-in-law!
"Don't come in!"
Madam Meng screamed as if she had gone mad, then scrambled into the quilt in a panic.
"Guards! Guards!"
She shouted sharply, "Get those two out of here!"
Madam Meng the Second was unwilling to leave; she knew her sister-in-law had cheated on her, and she craned her neck to see what was going on.
Sure enough, through the gauze curtain, one could vaguely see the figure that often hid behind Madam Meng.
"Didn't I hear that my older brother went out? When did he come back?"
She asked with a smile, wishing she could immediately lift the gauze curtain to see what kind of pretty boy he was.
Before I knew it, I had already gone inside.
Madam Meng was probably too frightened, and gradually calmed down.
Looking at Madam Meng's smug expression, she suddenly burst out laughing: "Do I need to tell you when your eldest brother came back?"
Madam Meng Er did not look away, but gave a fake smile: "That is indeed true—but why isn't elder brother saying anything?"
The man, covered by the blanket, dared not utter a word, and his whole body trembled slightly.
Madam Meng said, "Sister-in-law, listen to your sister-in-law's advice, leave now. It will save us a lot of trouble."
Madam Meng didn't like hearing these words.
What? You had an affair and you dare to threaten her? That's incredibly arrogant!
Madam Meng smiled and said, "Although I manage the household, I still have plenty of free time."
"Sister-in-law, do you want to explain?"
Madam Meng laughed too. After she finished laughing, she reached out and swept the gauze curtains open from the inside.
Her already fair skin appeared even whiter.
She is indeed a rare beauty, even though she is old.
"Since your sister-in-law isn't leaving, I suppose she wants to see who's in my bed?"
Her expression held a hint of madness: "Then I'll show you."
After saying that, he was about to pull back the blanket.
