Madam Xu no longer cared about the friendship between the two families, let alone how Prince Zheng would come to call for punishment. The trap set by their Xu family was completely aimed at the lives of the Wei family.
If we are not careful, these ladies will be instigated and ruin the plan, then everything will be over!
She looked at Madam Wei Er in a state of rage, sneered through gnashing teeth, "Madam Er! If you don't trust our Xu family and want to cause trouble and die, just go ahead! But don't drag other people with you! The girls are all fine, our Xu family is not the kind of family that would be so shameless and reckless, we will definitely protect everyone!"
She lost her temper and spoke so harshly that all the ladies were shocked and no one answered for a while.
The atmosphere around them quieted down as Second Madam Xu vented her outburst, which was almost like a scream. First Madam Xu looked at the stiff expressions on Second Madam Wei and Third Madam Wei with satisfaction, then glanced at Fifth Madam Wei with disdain, and said word by word, "If something really happens, we will naturally give you an explanation!"
Madam Wei Er was not frightened by her powerful words.
On the contrary, now that things have fallen out and gotten to this point, she is no longer afraid of anything. Just as they had discussed before, if they can't stand firm now, then everything will be over.
Well, now that they have started, they can't stop here. Wei An is still waiting for them, they must hurry over. No matter what, they must see Wei An first.
Moreover, Wei An had said before that Shen Chen knew that the Xu family had ill intentions and agreed with Wei An to keep the appointment. This meant that Shen Chen must have anticipated the situation here. As long as they protected Wei An, they would have no trouble escaping.
Thinking of this, Madam Wei II glanced at Madam San. Seeing that Madam San nodded almost imperceptibly, she snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "Is that so?! Just now, that little girl came over and said that An An was ill! And there were only Miss Xu Da and Miss Xu Er around her..."
She looked at Madam Xu. At this point, after attracting everyone's attention, she was not so harsh in her words. She spoke clearly word by word: "No matter what kind of person the old master of the Xu family is, no matter whether you are famous or not, it has nothing to do with us. I only know that our child is alone over there and may be in danger at any time. As you said, there may be an insider colluding with others, so how can you be sure whose child is safe? You open your mouth and say that you can take responsibility, but when the child dies, what will you take responsibility for? How can you compensate us for a child who has grown up alive?!"
Everyone was deeply moved and stared at her intently, without speaking for a moment.
She was too excited and didn't get to the point. Madam Wu flicked off the non-existent dust on her body and walked to the side calmly. Although her voice was light, she said firmly and resolutely: "It's a banquet held in your family. Something like this happened. The accomplice couldn't have been someone else, right? Since your family's own precautions are not enough, how can you promise to guarantee the safety of our children and us?! Let's take a step back and say, how much trouble can we cause you if we go there now?! Wouldn't it be better to bring enough people with us to be with the children? If anything happens, we can help them in time! Besides, as mothers, no matter what, we are most relieved to see our children under our noses."
These words truly touched everyone's heart.
Madam Qin could no longer sit still and spoke first: "What the wife of the prince of Dingbei said makes sense. I don't know about others, but I really can't care about it. I have to trouble you. Please let me go. No matter what, I have to see them with my own eyes to feel at ease. If you are afraid of encountering bandits on the way, just let me go. I will accept whatever happens. You have tried your best to persuade me, but I didn't listen to your advice and insisted on being with the child. I will never blame you!"
There are no parents in this world who don’t worry about their children, especially mothers, who always have the deepest feelings and the most inseparable worries for their children.
With the decisive words from the Fifth Madam and Madam Qin, Madam Xu could hardly hold on any longer. She was not afraid of the people from the Wei family. She would offend them anyway, so it didn't matter.
But the Qin family is different.
Qin Dong and Qin Sheng are not people who are easy to mess with.
She felt a little resentful of Madam Wei Er and the others for their ignorance and stubbornness, but she had to cheer up to deal with Madam Qin first: "Madam, believe me, if I go there at this time, not only will I not be able to help, but it will cause trouble. With the relationship between our two families, do I dare to harm you? I also know that if Shuang'er gets into trouble, Master Qin will probably want me to be buried with him... Don't you think so?"
She patiently persuaded Mrs. Qin and others to give up their idea.
When Old Mrs. Xu heard the news, she was also helped out by several maids. She was old but full of energy. She looked at Madam Qin, smiled and waved to her.
After all, she was an elder. Madam Qin hesitated for a moment, but still stepped forward to support her, and said politely but firmly: "Old lady, I'm sorry, I don't mean to cause trouble to you and your family, but I'm really worried. Not to mention my daughter, even Shuang'er can't have any accidents, otherwise you know my difficulties..."
She was finally persuaded by Madam Wei Er and the others. The children were left alone in Yanziwu, where there was not even a girl from the Xu family. How could anyone believe Madam Xu's assurance
It’s not that I suspect Madam Xu and the others have any bad thoughts about these girls, but the key point is that Madam Xu is not omnipotent. What use is her guarantee in front of those vicious bandits
If there is even the slightest chance of that happening, it cannot be undone by making an apology or being buried with the deceased.
Old Madam Xu glanced at Madam Xu, then looked at the ladies of the Wei family who were walking towards her with a firm attitude, smiled and said, "What's wrong with you? Why are you making such a big noise? The men outside have gone to search for people, and the news will be reported back soon. You making a fuss here will not help, but will make others feel uneasy, and make a fool of yourself and lose face..."
Old Madam Xu was trying to change the subject, but Madam Wu took a step forward and walked up to her, saying directly, "I don't care about what's decent or not, I just know that if something happens to An An, it will be hard to explain to Prince Zheng!" (To be continued)
