Song had been following behind. She was not afraid of the old lady and instead wanted to report Chu Weiyue.

Who would have thought that grandma didn't even give her a chance, and scolded her all the time: "Song, you are my son's concubine, and you dare to tie up the child of the legal wife. You are so bold! When did you make this family so chaotic?"

"And you little bastards, you are just lowly servants. Don't you know the difference between respect and inferiority? My granddaughter is a grown-up girl after all. If she is tied up by a few men like you, wouldn't it be a disgrace to the Marquis' Mansion if it gets out? Let her go immediately!"

"Did you hear that? Let me go!"

Chu Weiyue, relying on her grandmother's support, snorted disdainfully and took the initiative to break free from them.

Song's eyes were red with grievance: "Mother-in-law, you don't know, this dead girl spends money recklessly, in one breath..."

She wanted to complain first, but Chu Weiyue didn't give her a chance this time. He immediately walked over, pushed her hard, and deliberately raised his voice to shout over her.

"Song, you are my father's concubine. The money was given to my mother by the emperor. You have no right to be jealous! As grandma's granddaughter, shouldn't I honor grandma on behalf of my father? Forget five hundred taels. Even if it's one thousand taels, what's the big deal? Grandma likes that orchid. The money is worth it!"

"That money belongs to my mother. Although she is no longer alive, it doesn't mean that you, a concubine, can bully her! What did grandma spend money on on a daily basis? Isn't it just to buy her a pot of orchids? Why don't you allow it? I told you the truth and you still wanted to tie me up. What do you think of grandma?"

Chu Weiyue almost laughed to death, especially when she saw Song wanting to say something but not being able to, she wanted to give herself a big trophy.

It turns out that it feels so good to turn the tables!

Song didn't say this, but her mistake was that she took the initiative. These subordinates tied people up as soon as they said so. Smart people knew that they were of the same blood.

Not to mention that the Song family said she was lying, even if everyone said she was lying, it would be completely unbelievable!

Song was so angry that her body trembled. She explained hastily, "Mother-in-law, I didn't say that. It wasn't me who said that! If you don't believe me, you can ask these subordinates and maids. I really didn't say that I disliked your spending money..."

“That’s enough!”

Grandma angrily grabbed the vase next to her and smashed it to the ground.

"Song, these people have been bribed by you, how can they tell the truth? My granddaughter is obviously very smart, but she is called a fool. Even her father thinks so. I'm afraid you have contributed to it in the past, right?"

"Also, no matter how old and useless I am, I am still the oldest in the family! I can spend as much money as I want. When did you ever get the right to step over my head and meddle in my affairs? Huh?"

Hearing this, Song's heart completely sank.

She thought Chu Weiyue was just talking casually, but she didn't expect that the money was actually related to the old lady!

Although she was very dissatisfied, she dared not admit it on the surface and lowered her head in embarrassment.

"I'm sorry, mother-in-law. This is really a huge misunderstanding. If I knew she was spending money to buy orchids for you, I would never be unwilling! It's my fault. It's all my fault..."

Song was indeed a smooth talker. She did not forget to apologize to Chu Weiyue and did not continue to argue about who was right or wrong.

Chu Weiyue still had a wronged look on her face, looking as if she had suffered a great humiliation.

Thinking of the grievances Chu Weiyue suffered today and what she said at noon, grandma felt even more sorry for her.

Patting Chu Weiyue on the shoulder, she comforted him softly, "Alright, don't feel wronged. Grandma knows how hard you've been through these years. With Grandma here at home, I won't let you feel wronged in the slightest! From now on, if you want to spend money, just go to the account office and get it. I'll see who dares to stop you!"

Her eyes fell on Song, and then looked at the steward standing next to her. Both of them lowered their heads and dared not make a sound.

Song clenched her fists with resentment, her body trembling slightly with anger, and she wished she could rush over and strangle Chu Weiyue to death.

Calculating the time, he looked around with some worry.

Just now she had asked her maid to ask the Marquis to come back. As long as he came back, he would definitely support her.

Even though he was afraid of the old lady, he was the head of the family and he would definitely put down Chu Weiyue's arrogance.

As soon as the Marquis arrived at the door, he saw the maid beside Song running towards him.

After hearing what she said, his face changed immediately.

"This damn girl is so bold, wait and see how I teach her a lesson!"

When he arrived at the back garden, he angrily came to Chu Weiyue's side and glared at her with dissatisfaction.

"You are really too much, girl. You actually dare to steal money from our family. Do you take me, your father, seriously? If everyone in the family is like you, what rules are there?"

Chu Weiyue deliberately kept silent and shrank beside her grandmother, pretending to be afraid.

Thinking of Chu Weiyue's filial piety and comparing it with the Marquis's temper, the old lady instantly became furious. She raised her hand and slapped his arm several times.

"You bastard, you're always on the edge of your seat! I'm your mother, and not only do you usually ignore me, you're even so mad at me because your granddaughter spends money. You're clearly scolding me, so why is it wrong for me to spend money?"

The Marquis sighed in frustration: "Mother, please stop defending this damn girl. She is stealing money! If I don't teach her a lesson today, it will be unforgivable!"

"If I don't teach you a lesson today, it would be unforgivable! You are busy with your so-called business all day long, but you know what you are actually busy with. The reason why Wei Yue did so many absurd things in the past, don't you have any responsibility as a father?"

"If you didn't care so little about her, how could she use this method to attract your attention? Now that she has finally changed her ways and knows how to be filial to me, you are still scolding her. Ask yourself if you have the qualifications to do so..."

Originally, the Marquis wanted to reason with his mother, but who would have thought that his mother would dig up all his past.

Grandma was furious and kept scolding the Marquis, and the Marquis could only listen quietly.

Song obviously didn't expect the old lady to be so powerful, and she shrank back and dared not go up.

After listening to his mother's insults, the Marquis realized belatedly that Chu Weiyue spent the money for her grandmother.

Even so, he still felt uncomfortable in his heart, but he couldn't say anything on the surface, so he could only smile awkwardly: "Okay, mother, I was wrong about this matter!"

The Marquis immediately took out a hundred taels of silver from his pocket and generously handed it to Chu Weiyue: "You did a great job today. This is how it will be in the future. Just buy whatever grandma likes!"

"Okay, you guys chat slowly, I have something else to do in the court, so I'll leave first!"

The Marquis didn't even turn his head, but strode quickly to the side, as if escaping from a very embarrassing scene.
