As he spoke, he drew a dagger from his waist and lunged at Lin Qifa. Seeing this, Master Wang said in a deep voice:
"Stop, Tianba! You don't need to dirty your hands with this kind of thing."
Then, Master Wang turned to the servant behind him and gave him instructions:
"Guards, tie those two adulterers up and take them to the front hall! Also, go and fetch all the elders of the family!"
Hu Fengjiao immediately looked panicked and hurriedly tugged at her clothes a few times.
"No, don't arrest me, it has nothing to do with me, I was tricked, Auntie, please save me, Cousin, this really has nothing to do with me."
Seeing this, Lin Qifa quickly broke free from the servant and knelt down before Wang Yu with a thud.
"Wife, don't treat me like this. The person I love is you. I was bewitched by Hu Fengjiao. I'm truly innocent. Have you forgotten what I've done for you? How I treated you before she came to the Prince's mansion, do you remember? Wife, no, no..."
With a single glance from Master Wang, servants and maids rushed forward and dragged the two of them to the front hall.
Looking at Wang Yu now, he was already sobbing uncontrollably, and his red and swollen eyes made Jiang Yuwei feel very sorry for him. So she quickly reached out to support the swaying Wang Yu.
Jiang Yuwei grasped Wang Yu's hands, which were already soaked with sweat, and comforted him:
"Wang Yu, cheer up. He's just a man. You can't let him go. He's not worth your sadness. You should be glad that you found out about his affair in time."
Wang Yu raised his eyes, his gaze filled with resentment.
"But he... he was so obedient to me. I thought he truly loved me, at least before Hu Fengjiao entered the manor. He truly loved me, right, Yuwei?"
Jiang Yuwei looked at Wang Yu and slowly said:
"Do you remember when I wouldn't let you eat the pork ribs he stewed? It wasn't that the ribs weren't cooked, it's that he added soybeans to them. Do you still think he loves you?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yu's legs went weak, and he collapsed into Jiang Yuwei's arms. Seeing this, Madam Wang exclaimed in alarm:
"Quickly, help Miss back to her room to rest!"
Two maids rushed forward to help Wang Yu up, and then led the others to Wang Yu's room.
Jiang Yuwei had intended to go along, but Madam Wang stopped her.
“Yuwei, I still want to ask you to help explain what happened in front of the clan elders. Although it’s really embarrassing to trouble you because this is our family, we have no other choice. Our Yu’er must be feeling very distressed by what she’s going through. All we can do is help her resolve her worries.”
As she spoke, Mrs. Wang took out her handkerchief and began to wipe away her tears.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei could only nod and followed Master Wang and Madam Wang, leading a large group of people to the front hall. By this time, all the clan elders had already arrived, and it was unclear who had invited Lin Qifa's mother as well.
As soon as Lin entered the door, she saw her son bound hand and foot and thrown on the ground. She immediately began to wail and scream.
"Oh dear, my poor son! You were tricked into becoming a live-in son-in-law by Wang Yu, and now you have to suffer such treatment? Even if our family is poor, you can't take advantage of your power and treat my son like a human being!"
At this moment, Madam Wang felt extremely distressed. Her daughter had insisted on choosing Lin Qifa as her son-in-law, even though they were not a good match. She was unwilling to do so, but her daughter pleaded with her and kept whispering in her ear that Lin Qifa was a man who was one in a hundred.
Later, Madam Wang came to terms with it. If she really found a son-in-law to live with her daughter, so that her beloved daughter could stay under her watchful eye day and night, Lin Qifa wouldn't be able to cause any trouble. So she agreed to her daughter's marriage to Lin Qifa.
For the first few years after their marriage, Madam Wang was always wary of Lin Qifa. But as time went on, she saw how obedient Lin Qifa was to her daughter, so she relaxed her guard. But she never expected that Lin Qifa was actually plotting something big, trying to seize her family's property, which is why he had been pretending for so many years.
Therefore, she couldn't bother to refute Lin's words at this moment, and just kept wiping away her tears.
Seeing that no one was talking to her, Lin shouted even louder.
"Oh, my son, you have such a hard life. You've been treated like a slave in the Wang family for so many years, and they still don't treat you like a human being. What kind of great philanthropist are you, what kind of rich man are you? I think it's all bullshit. I'm going to go to the streets and spread the word about how you hypocrites have tormented my son!"
As she spoke, Madam Lin wiped away her tears and got up to leave. Seeing this, Master Wang hurriedly shouted sternly:
"Guards, stop her!"
Two servants rushed forward and blocked Lin's path. Upon seeing this, Lin became even more enraged, sitting down on the ground and launching into a tirade of curses:
"You bunch of wicked people, you take advantage of us because we're honest people! Where's Wang Yu? Where did that bitch Wang Yu go? Her mother-in-law, I've come here, and she doesn't even come out to greet me? She really doesn't treat our family like human beings!"
The people in the Prince's mansion were all respectable, and they had never seen such a scene of a shrew cursing in the street. At this moment, they all looked at each other in bewilderment, unable to explain themselves.
Jiang Yuwei feared that Lin Shi would take advantage of her kindness and utter even more offensive words, which would only add to Madam Wang's grief. Therefore, she stepped forward and coldly stared at Lin Shi, saying:
"You say they don't treat your family like human beings, then your family should at least act like human beings! Wang Yu took Lin Qifa as his son-in-law, and instead of being grateful to Wang Yu for helping him change his social class, he's greedy and wants even more. Why don't you ask your son, a lackey, how he dares to try and swallow up the Wang family!"
Seeing that only Jiang Yuwei among the people in the room had any fighting spirit, Lin didn't dare to be negligent. She stood up, pointed at Jiang Yuwei's nose, and started cursing:
"You shameless hussy! I knew it was you who was stirring up trouble between the couple. What does their quarrel have to do with you? You must have some ulterior motives to blow up a small argument that you've ruined my son's life!"
Seeing that Lin was being unreasonable and had even started cursing at her, Jiang Yuwei naturally couldn't tolerate it. She stepped forward, grabbed Lin's finger pointing at her, and snapped it upwards. However, she couldn't control her strength, and the entire front hall was filled with the sound of bones breaking.
Then came Lin's piercing screams.
"Aaaaaah, let me go! My finger is broken! Aaaaaah, let me go first, let me go!"
