At this moment, everyone in the Prince's Mansion was dumbfounded. They did not expect Jiang Yuwei to take action directly. Madam Wang was stunned for a moment before she reacted. Then she burst out laughing and tears and snot bubbles sprayed out at the same time.
Madam Wang quickly took out her handkerchief to cover her mouth and laughed for a while before clearing her throat a few times and speaking:
"Yuwei, let her go first. Let's lay everything out on the table today. Lin Qifa can no longer be allowed to stay in my manor. If it is found that this matter is related to your Lin family, then none of you will be spared. You will all have to report to the authorities!"
When Jiang Yuwei saw that Madam Wang had spoken, she immediately released Lin's hand.
Seeing this, Madam Wang quickly instructed the maid beside her:
"Quickly, quickly, give Yuwei a seat!"
The moment Jiang Yuwei sat down, Lin rushed to Lin Qifa's side, hugged him, and burst into tears.
"Qifa, what have you done to deserve this? They're even going so far as to take us both to the authorities. I think the Wang family is so powerful that they've lost all sense of shame. When their own in-laws come, they don't even offer them seats, but instead they're all respectful to some lowly hussy from who-knows-where!"
Jiang Yuwei was really annoyed by Lin's nagging. If Lin kept crying like this, when would she ever be able to go home?
"Lin, shut up! If you cry again, I'll break off the rest of your fingers! You believe me?"
Upon hearing Jiang Yuwei's words, Lin quickly hiccuped, covered her mouth with her hand, and looked at Jiang Yuwei in horror, shaking her head repeatedly.
Seeing that Lin had finally quieted down, Jiang Yuwei spoke up:
“I am an outsider to today’s events and should not get involved, but I am an eyewitness to the whole incident. Madam Wang insists that I stay here as a witness, so I will tell everyone what I know.”
As she spoke, Jiang Yuwei glanced at Lin Qifa and Hu Fengjiao kneeling on the ground and said:
"As for whether it's true or not, Mr. Wang, Mrs. Wang, and Wang Tianba witnessed it with their own eyes and caught them in the act of adultery. My friends waiting outside also saw it. I'm afraid they can't deny it!"
Madam Wang nodded upon hearing this:
"Yuwei, just say what you have to say, so that the Lin family and our Wang family patriarchs can make a judgment!"
Jiang Yuwei nodded to Madam Wang.
"Today I was invited by Wang Yu to dine at the Wang Mansion with some friends. As a result, Lin Qi served a dish of spare ribs, and I found that it contained soybeans. I suppose everyone here knows that Wang Yu is allergic to soybeans, right?"
After saying this, Jiang Yuwei saw that everyone sitting in the hall nodded at her before continuing:
“I warned Wang Yu long ago that she must never touch soybeans again, or it would be fatal. But Lin Qifa actually took advantage of this and tried to kill her by adding soybeans to her food every day and then carefully picking them out, doing it without anyone noticing.”
Upon hearing Jiang Yuwei's words, Lin Shi could no longer contain herself and hurriedly stood up and shouted:
"Impossible. My son is such a kind person, how could he murder his own wife? Besides, what good would killing Wang Yu do him?"
Jiang Yuwei glanced coldly at Hu Fengjiao, who was kneeling and trembling beside Lin Qifa, and said:
"Heh, before Hu Fengjiao entered the manor, your son would naturally not be foolish enough to harm Wang Yu. If Wang Yu died, he would not be able to stay in the manor to continue enjoying wealth and luxury. However, after Hu Fengjiao came, Master Wang and Madam Wang did not treat her as an outsider. Instead, they gave her the same treatment as Wang Yu."
As Jiang Yuwei spoke, she turned to look at Master Wang and Madam Wang and continued:
"Although I don't know why you two are so good to Hu Fengjiao, so good that she thinks she can replace Wang Yu's position and steal Wang Yu's husband, plus the two of you are birds of a feather, both coveting the wealth of your Wang Mansion, with the same goal, similar age, handsome man and beautiful woman, so the two of you easily hooked up."
Upon hearing this, Master Wang could only lower his head and sigh, while Madam Wang, standing to the side, kept pounding Master Wang's shoulder and sobbing:
"I told you long ago to just give her some money and keep her out there. When she's old enough, I, as her aunt, will arrange a marriage for her. That would be enough. But now you've brought such an ungrateful wretch into your household, and she's repaying kindness with enmity and harboring wicked thoughts. Sigh, I told you long ago, you can't treat her like this just because her parents saved you!"
Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei sighed and said:
"Anyway, that's all I know. As for what to do with these two, that's a matter for your Prince's Mansion!"
An elder with gray hair, seated in the highest position, spoke:
“Since both of them are heartless bastards, our Wang family can no longer keep them. Men, have Lin Qifa sign the divorce papers, and then send him to the government office to explain the whole story to the county magistrate. The yamen will have its own laws to judge this murder charge.”
As he spoke, the old man turned to look at Hu Fengjiao, who was kneeling on the ground trembling, and said:
"As for Hu Fengjiao, let's treat her as a woman having an affair. When it gets dark, let's find a secluded riverbank and drown her in a pig cage. We can't let the reputation of the women of the Wang and Hu families be ruined by her. Right now, there are many girls in each family who are of marriageable age. We can't let her, this rotten apple, spoil the whole bunch."
Having said that, the old man turned to look at Master Wang, who was sitting in the main seat, and said:
"Eldest sister, do you think my arrangement is appropriate?"
Master Wang sighed deeply, holding his head, unwilling to look at Hu Fengjiao kneeling below the hall, and simply waved his hand, saying:
"Alright, let's do as the elder says and send this girl down to keep her parents company!"
Upon hearing this, Hu Fengjiao immediately cried out:
"No, I don't want to die. It's not my fault. Lin Qifa seduced me. No, don't pull me! Father, Mother, open your eyes in heaven and see what suffering your daughter is going through! Waaah..."
Seeing that Hu Fengjiao was bringing up her parents again, Madam Wang was afraid that Master Wang would soften his heart and let her go, so she quickly called out to the maids and servants beside her:
"None of you have eaten your fill, what are you all standing there like idiots for? Quickly drag her out and lock her up, she'll be drowned in a pig cage tonight!"
As soon as Madam Wang finished speaking, a group of maids and servants rushed over, gagged Hu Fengjiao, and dragged her out.
When Lin saw that her son was about to be sent to the authorities, she naturally began to go mad.
"Let go of my son! We're no longer going to be your son-in-laws in this royal household, and we're no longer going to put up with your humiliation! We've already signed the divorce papers. Now, our Lin family has nothing to do with your Wang family anymore. Come on, son, come home with your mother!"
