The person in front of me was deathly pale, with dark circles under their eyes.
But he seems to be in pretty good spirits.
Wei Wei noticed something interesting: ever since Madam Meng's affair with Second Master Meng was exposed, she had been acting somewhat neurotic.
It gives off a feeling of "what can you do to me after I've lost all shame?"
They are also more resilient than before.
When she opened her eyes and saw that it was her, she immediately revealed a deep hatred.
"What are you doing here? Are you here to laugh at me?"
She spoke in a hoarse voice, filled with deep wariness.
Wei Wei's eyes flickered, her tone filled with pity: "I heard from everyone that you were beaten by your father? And put in solitary confinement?"
"Is your health important?"
Madam Meng was unmoved and instead sneered repeatedly, asking, "What's it to you? If you're here to gloat, forget it; you're destined to be disappointed."
Wei Wei sighed and slowly shook her head, replying, "Mother, I'm not gloating, I'm just scared."
"Did you know? Zhixuan has disappeared."
These few words made Madam Meng's eyes widen in surprise: "What did you say?!"
Where did he go?
Where did you take him?
The repeated questioning made her expression extremely unpleasant.
Wei Wei carefully observed the terrified look in her eyes and knew that she had made the right bet.
The argument between the couple was definitely related to what he had said at the time.
Master Meng would never explain a single word to Meng Zhixuan about the arrangements he made for her.
It is true that her son is missing, and Wei Wei is not lying.
She simply changed the meaning slightly, making the situation even more one-sided.
Seeing that Madam Meng looked distracted and restless, Wei Wei repeated her answer: "Zhi Xuan is missing. We can't find him anywhere."
"Even when I asked my father, he wouldn't say a word to me, and told me not to meddle in other people's business..."
At this point, as if she could no longer hold back, her eyes reddened and tears fell instantly.
"Am I meddling in other people's business? I just want to know where my husband is."
She looked at Madam Meng, seemingly puzzled, and asked, "Why should we be involved in the problems between you two adults?"
"Why can't you solve it yourself?"
Madam Meng took two deep breaths, her expression becoming even more ferocious: "I clearly told him, why won't he believe me?"
"Does he really want to drive my son and me to our deaths before he's satisfied?"
Wei Wei looked suspicious, her tone gradually turning reproachful: "What exactly did you say to Father? Why did it make him so angry?"
Madam Meng bit her lip hard, and after a while, faint traces of blood could be seen.
She remained silent, but Wei Wei had no intention of letting her off so easily.
In her past life, she could never forget how Madam Meng treated her during the time when she was so wronged that she couldn't even get out of bed.
The extreme humiliation made her feel deeply guilty and remorseful, always thinking that she had dragged Meng Zhixuan down for the rest of her life.
Thinking of how difficult those days had been, her face showed even more helplessness: "Mother, I'm begging you to save Zhixuan. If it's too late... I'm afraid it will be too late to save him!"
"Why don't you apologize to your father, admit your mistake, and ask him to send Zhixuan back?"
Madam Meng was trembling, as if she had thought of something.
Finally, with bloodshot eyes, she looked at Wei Wei and asked, "Are you telling the truth? He wants to harm Zhixuan?"
Wei Wei cried again, "I don't know... I only know I'm afraid... I'm afraid Zhi Xuan's body won't be able to take it..."
"He's so thin, even the slightest discomfort could be fatal for him!"
It appears to be her crying, but at this moment, it is Madam Meng who is suffering the most.
She only has one son.
She still wanted to rely on his son to turn her life around in the Meng family.
Her only goal was to outlive Master Meng and take control of the household.
Now her only chance to turn things around is about to disappear.
From any perspective, she cannot accept it.
"Why are you crying?" She glared at Wei Wei with bloodshot eyes and hissed, "Go back and wait, your husband won't die!"
Wei Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Then everything depends on Mother... When Zhixuan comes back, your daughter-in-law will definitely take care of you and be filial to you."
Madam Meng gave a cold laugh and said no more.
Wei Wei wasn't angry. After calling someone in to take care of her, she quickly got up and took her leave.
Not long after they returned, they heard that Madam Meng had managed to get up and sent someone to call Master Meng.
She wasn't worried that Madam Meng would say anything she shouldn't, because in the current situation, Madam Meng could only pretend to know nothing and soothe Master Meng's pride if she had any chance of repairing the relationship.
Only then could they find out Meng Zhixuan's whereabouts.
——
The quiet Tingfeng Pavilion felt even more empty at night.
Leng Pusheng didn't reappear in the courtyard until now.
"When the young master of the Wei family was found, he was badly injured and his face was unrecognizable, but he still managed to stay alive."
"With proper care and attention, it is possible to recover."
He said, "If there's an opportunity."
Wei Wei keenly sensed the meaning behind his words.
"The Qi family has started to make moves against them?"
Leng Pusheng responded with a complicated expression: "When we found him, Young Master Wei was already tied up and hanging in mid-air, and two people were interrogating him about the whereabouts of the jade pendant."
"However, Young Master Wei obviously didn't say anything useful, and was thus brutally attacked."
In the days that he had been by Wei Wei's side, he had heard some things he shouldn't have heard.
From initial shock to current acceptance, I no longer find anything wrong with it.
Wei Wei's eyes and brows were sharp and fierce.
She knew that the fact that Young Master Wei had survived this ordeal and been rescued was a thorn in the side of the Qi family that they had to remove immediately.
They will surely strike again in a very short time to eliminate any future troubles.
I wonder if Wei Chen will believe the message in his sachet, or if he will take any action or retaliate?
She had Leng Pusheng by her side to help her.
Wei Cheng, however, was truly isolated and helpless.
Just thinking about it makes me feel incredibly suffocated.
Fortunately, this happened only today, so the Qi family won't take immediate action, and we still have a few days to prepare.
She wanted to take advantage of this time to destroy the Meng family and complete her plan before Meng Zhixuan returned.
Let him experience what it's like to be all alone, and what it feels like to be utterly helpless.
Now, let's start with his parents, whom he cares about most.
