The grandmother looked at her granddaughter with joy and anticipation, but after a moment, she realized that her granddaughter's attention was not on her at all. Wei Shuyao had been staring intently at Cai Die and Du Shao since she entered the room, and with her arms trembling slightly and her emotions extremely agitated, Wei Wenshi gradually seemed to realize something.
Wei Wen Shi released her grip and turned to look at Cai Die and Du Shao. She couldn't help but recall the matchmaker story Wei Shu Wan had inexplicably mentioned earlier, and Wei Shu Yao's fierce remark upon entering: "Young Master Du is absolutely right!" A ridiculous conjecture began to form in Wei Wen Shi's mind…
"Yao'er, Caidie, what... what happened to you?"
Wei Shuyao glared at Caidie with hatred, while Caidie lowered her head guiltily. Neither of them spoke first, but Meng Shi couldn't hold back any longer and said bluntly, "Mother, Yao'er met Young Master Du first and they have been corresponding. But Caidie barged in for no reason and impersonated Yao'er to seduce Young Master Du!"
It seems things are indeed as Wei Wenshi had suspected; Cai Die has wronged Yao'er. However, Wei Wenshi is confused by what she heard. "What did you say? What did you mean Cai Die impersonated Yao'er? How did she impersonate her?"
Wei Ping, who was also listening from the side, was annoyed and asked irritably, "That's right, don't make false accusations! If your Yao'er met Young Master Du first, how could Cai Die impersonate her? Could it be that the two of them have never met?"
“Of course I’ve seen him!” Wei Shuyao couldn’t help but interject.

With tears welling up in her eyes, Wei Shuyao looked at Du Shao, her eyes brimming with tears, and said, "That day, when I went to Luoyun Temple to offer incense, I happened to see Young Master Du being harassed by the people at the market on my way down the mountain. I learned that it was because his money bag had been stolen by a thief and he couldn't pay for his meal. So I generously gave him some money to help him out and even hired a carriage to take him home."
Wei Shuyao paused here, noticing the shock and curiosity in Du Shao's eyes, and continued:
"Young Master Du asked Yao'er where her home was, but at the time Yao'er and her parents were staying at the inn and it was really inconvenient to tell her, so she just gave her this address. Who knew that the next day Young Master Du would send a generous gift here, and Sister Caidie would then send the gift to the inn and hand it over to me. There was a letter in the gift, and from that day on, Yao'er has been corresponding with Young Master Du."
Hearing this, Du Shao was even more shocked. It turned out that not only was she the one who saved him back then, but she was also the one with whom he exchanged letters afterward...
