"Nonsense, you’re clearly twisting the truth!"
Lady Yu pointed at Cai Wei and yelled arrogantly, "It’s clear that you colluded with the thief to rob my Lü family! All those things of your grandparents were given by you as New Year gifts to them. How dare you contradict this? Today, I will take you back to the Lü Mansion and interrogate you thoroughly. You won’t dare to withhold the truth!"
Cai Wei gave her a cold smile, then turned to Old Madam An, "Madam, I stayed here to face Madam Lü based on your suggestion, but it’s clear that Madam Lü has no intention to confront me, and instead wants to arrest me to torture me at her whim. How does the Madam plan to handle this?"
Old Madam An was enraged by Lady Yu’s conduct. She slapped the table and angrily retorted, "Dare she? I’d like to see who dares to act presumptuously under my watch. Not to mention her, even if her husband were to come and dare to touch anyone without my permission, I would drive him out all the same."
She then turned to Ruyi, "Call in the maids from outside and eject this disrespectful woman!"
Lady Yu saw Old Madam An protecting Cai Wei and refusing to allow her to take Cai Wei back to the mansion for questioning. She immediately knelt on the ground and cried, "Madam, it’s not that I disrespect you, but our home has suffered terribly because of this wench. Not to mention that my face has been ruined, your nephews have gone mad. They now lock themselves in the backyard every day, refuse to meet anyone and won’t come out. The maid who delivers their meals said that they have a rotten human head that they obtained from somewhere. They place it there daily and often mumble to it, which is quite disturbing. Nobody is managing our businesses at home either. A few days ago, the little money left by the second brother was taken away, and nobody knows where he went. Now there’s only me, a woman, holding up the entire household. Those concubines are all restless. I’m barely hanging on..."
Upon hearing this, Cai Wei’s mouth hung open in shock!
The disappeared head of Tianjizi! It’s actually in the hands of Lu Junchen!
No wonder, no matter how they searched before, they couldn’t find it. Turns out, that head was hidden by Lu Junchen. Both Tianjizi and Lu Junchen are extremely evil and they both have intolerable grudges against her. If they collude together, they will definitely seek revenge and be detrimental to her!
Cai Wei felt an intense chill, as if she was being watched by a poisonous snake!
Meanwhile, Lady Yu’s crying and pleading did not garner any sympathy or support from Old Madam An. Instead, it provoked her even further. The Madam reproached in a rage: "If your home faces difficulties, you should bear the responsibility of a matriarch and persuade your husband to maintain order in your household. It’s in chaos now because you, as the matriarch, failed in this management. You couldn’t even take care of your son’s emotions, leading to his derangement, and failed to handle the family business, allowing an illegitimate child to take control. None of those concubines are decent. It is not surprising that they took your property. Now, you’re being even more absurd. You want to pin an innocent girl down and take her back for questioning. Even if this girl wasn’t connected to me, I would never allow such unreasonable actions."
Upon finishing her statement, she snapped angrily, "What are you standing there for? Get her out of here now!"
The several maids guarding the entrance heard Old Madam An’s order. They immediately grabbed Lady Yu, each pulling an arm or a leg, and quickly evicted her!
Lady Yu struggled and cried out, "Aunt, it’s this wench who did it! This wench is incredibly cunning! I once sent someone to kill her..."
