Chapter 12 Your Retribution Has Come
"How could you treat the old lady like this?" Lvliu looked at Wei Qingyan in shock. She wanted to stop him but didn't dare, out of fear.
The old lady woke up and there was no one to serve her. After weighing the pros and cons, she felt that this was an opportunity.
But I didn't expect the new lady to be so bold as to attack the old lady.
It seems she chose the wrong team after all.
Wei Qingyan's eyes were cold, "Where is the old nanny who fell ill with the old lady? Bring her here."
Lvliu wanted to stand firm, but after hesitating for a moment, she turned and went to the side room next door, and the maids who were with her hurriedly followed her.
Nanny Guo woke up later than the old lady, and she was not as well-maintained as the old lady. Before she could recover, she was dragged over by Lvliu and others.
She had been with the old lady all her life and had never been treated like this before. She was so angry that she cursed, "Let me go, you bastards, are you trying to rebel..."
Lvliu didn't bother to retort. This time she was determined to offend Madam Guo and was determined to stand on the young lady's side.
Keren is here, where is the trace of the young lady?
When Wei Qingyan returned to Fengxiaoyuan, A Lu was waiting for her in the yard with Xiaoxiao.
"The young lady woke up just after you left and has been waiting for you here ever since." A Lu explained.
Wei Qingyan squatted down and pinched Xiaoxiao's face, "Go back to the house first, auntie has something to say to A Lu."
"Okay." The child responded obediently and turned back to the house.
"Go and interrogate Madam Guo and ask her why the old lady wanted to harm her own granddaughter."
Yesterday, Nanny Guo was unconscious and Du Xueyi was unable to interrogate her. Today, he was not at home, so Wei Qingyan handed the matter over to A Lu.
After a pause, she continued, "Perhaps the death of the old marquis and his wife is also related to her. Let's examine it carefully.
Also, do not let anyone leave the mansion until your master returns."
There was a loud buzzing in A Lu's head, his heart was beating like a drum, and he couldn't utter a word for a long time.
The lady's words sounded awkward, but they contained so much information.
She said that the old lady had killed the Marquis's sister, and even the death of the Marquis's parents was related to the old lady.
How is this possible?
Those are the old lady's son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter. Is she crazy?
Despite some of the things that the Marquis had discovered yesterday, he still found it hard to believe and had already run out of the yard.
An hour later, he walked out of the old lady's yard with a look of shock on his face.
When Du Xueyi returned home in the evening, Ah Lu told him everything she had asked from Nanny Guo, "My Lord, what are you going to do?"
He still hasn't been able to digest the news, so how should the Marquis deal with it?
A Lu feels sorry for his master.
Du Xueyi's face turned from black to white, and then from white to blue. He exhaled hard and finally squeezed out a sentence, "Miss, please go to the old lady's yard."
He thought he had found out enough, but he didn't expect that the old lady had done much more evil than that.
Those who were harmed by her did not turn into ghosts like Fang, and they may not know why they died until they died.
Thinking of this possibility, Du Xueyi was filled with anger and hatred, as if his entire chest was about to explode.
A Lu looked at him worriedly, and just as he turned around, he saw Wei Qingyan walking towards him with Xiaoxiao.
Du Xueyi also saw it. He turned his back, took two deep breaths, and tried his best to suppress his emotions.
Then he walked forward, pulled the corners of his mouth hard, and squatted in front of Xiaoxiao, "Did you have fun going out with your aunt today?"
Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, nodded, and said softly, "Happy."
Du Xueyi raised his hand to touch her head, but quickly put it down and curled his lips again, "Then Daddy will take you there often in the future."
He didn't notice that his voice was trembling.
Xiaoxiao was a little scared and shrank closer to Wei Qingyan.
Wei Qingyan looked at Du Xueyi's face, which looked uglier than crying due to a smile, and a trace of pity appeared in his eyes. "Well, it's not too late. You and your daughter still have a lifetime to live."
"Yeah." Du Xueyi quickly lowered his head to hide the emotions that were no longer concealable on his face.
It’s too late, too late, the lost family members will never come back to life.
Now his only relative in this world is Xiaoxiao, but he almost lost her.
Because he mistakenly trusted the devil.
Wei Qingyan gave him a moment to calm down, then asked A Lu to accompany Xiao Xiao, and she and Du Xueyi stepped into the old lady's yard.
Du Xueyi had learned from A Lu that the old lady was knocked unconscious by Wei Qingyan.
Carrying the teapot on the table, he walked to the bed and looked at his familiar grandmother, who seemed so unfamiliar.
Thinking of what she had done, he poured the cold tea in his hand onto the old lady's face.
"My dear grandson, you are finally back. If you don't come back, grandma will be bullied to death."
When the old lady woke up and saw that it was Du Xueyi, she was happy at first, but when she saw the teapot in his hand, she realized what was happening and turned her joy into anger, "Are you crazy? I am your grandmother."
"You are not." Du Xueyi said coldly, "You are not my grandmother."
The old lady's heart skipped a beat. She angrily shouted, "You bastard! Are you crazy? Have you forgotten that your mother died early and your father is bedridden? Who raised you? Who supports this family and plans everything for you?"
"How dare I forget Xueyi?"
Du Xueyi suddenly threw the teapot to the ground, completely exploding with emotion, "But isn't this all your fault?
What did my sister do wrong? She was only three years old. How could you have the heart to sell her to a place like that? You are a woman too.
How did you do it, pretending to comfort your sad mother and acting like a kind mother-in-law, while secretly drugging her and causing her to die early?
And there is your father. Even though he is not your biological son, he never knows his own life experience. In his heart, you are his biological mother.
He respected you, loved you, and was the most filial son possible. So why did you poison him, leaving him weak for many years and leaving him with unfulfilled ambitions and regrets until his death?
In the letters Fang wrote to me, besides Xiaoxiao, she only mentioned you. She treated you like her own grandmother. How dare you treat her like that? How dare you?
During the interrogation yesterday, we learned from the people below that there was something wrong with the medicine my father took every day, and the problem was actually with my grandmother.
I was shocked and puzzled.
My grandfather followed the late emperor in conquering the world and made many military achievements, but he died in battle one month before the founding of the country. The late emperor appreciated his achievements and bestowed the title of Marquis of Anyuan on my young father.
Influenced by his grandfather, my father always had the ambition to serve the country. He was no mediocre person and was praised by the late emperor when he joined the army at the age of sixteen.
When he was eighteen years old, Wudan invaded and his father volunteered to go to the battlefield. He could have realized his ambition, but he suddenly fell ill and could no longer fight on the battlefield. He could only live a leisurely life as the Marquis of Anyuan.
He couldn't understand why his grandmother wanted to kill her only son.
Today I left the city to look for an old friend of my grandfather. At first, the old man refused to tell me anything.
He didn't tell the truth until he revealed that his father's death was caused by his grandmother.
It turned out that my father was born to a concubine and adopted under the name of my grandmother. In order to protect my grandmother's reputation, my grandfather gave a large amount of silver to send the concubine away and announced to the outside world that my father was the son of my grandmother.
Du Xueyi's expression was filled with hatred, he grabbed the old lady's neck and said, "You can't have children of your own, isn't it better for you if your father has a promising future?
Why did you harm him? Why did you harm my mother and sister? Why did you harm my wife and daughter? None of them treated you badly, why did you do this? Tell me!"
The old lady was strangled by the neck and suffocated for a moment.
The fear of the secret being exposed was quickly replaced by rage. Since Du Xueyi knew everything, he must have gathered all the evidence, and she had no way to refute it.
But, since it concerns that person, what does she have to fear?
Thinking of this, she smiled easily, "You actually knew? I thought you would never know the truth in this lifetime."
She tilted her head to look at Wei Qingyan who was sitting quietly beside her. "You told him, right? My grandson is as stupid as his father. He is very filial to me and would never suspect me."
Wei Qingyan's dark eyes looked back at her, "Waves rise only when there's wind, and the waters subside naturally when there's no tide. Don't say that no one sees the cause and effect. Guan, it's time for you to get your comeuppance."
"Retribution? Hahaha..." Old Madam Du laughed. "If retribution really exists in this world, then guess why I can't bear my own child?"
