Mother Lai, who had been exposed by Wei An's indirect hints, was grabbed by a burly guard, quickly pushed into the door, and fell to her knees on the ground with a thud.
This series of actions of entering the room and kneeling down was extremely fast, just a blink of an eye, and for a moment no one in the room could react.
Mother Lai was suddenly pushed to her knees. Her knees made a crisp sound and her head seemed to explode with a buzzing sound. She closed her eyes and subconsciously sat down on the ground.
Before anyone else could react, Madam Mei stepped forward and kicked her, unable to bear it any longer: "You can't judge a person by his appearance! How could we ever let you down? How could you repay kindness with enmity and even plot to murder our master behind our back?!"
Mrs. May has never had a good relationship with her daughter-in-law.
Because Mrs. Mei liked poetry and songs, and was not very good at housekeeping, Grandma Mei had a very hard life.
Previously, something happened to Mrs. Mei when she was staying at a farmhouse while she was going on a hike. In order to pick her up, Grandma Mei lost her baby who was more than four months old.
Meiying was obtained with great difficulty, and Grandma Mei looked at her with the same regard.
Mrs. Mei was very kind to Mei Ying because she felt guilty and wanted to reconcile with her daughter-in-law.
The reason why Mei Ying came back to take the throne for Prince Zheng was that this matter would only benefit her in the future and not cause any harm, so Madam Mei told Grandma Mei and brought her out.
But now Meiying has become like this...
Mother Lai huddled up into a ball, shivering, staring ahead with a dull look in her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.
Linjiang Palace couldn't help but frowned and let out a sigh, trying to suppress his impatience.
Wei An raised his eyebrows and coughed. Seeing that Lai's mother was looking at him, he asked her with a fake smile: "Tell me, didn't you just say you wanted to live? If you want to live, point out the person who bribed you."
Wei An's eyes passed over Lai Mama indifferently, glanced at the many ladies behind her, and then fell back on Lai Mama. He said coldly: "If you don't say... what others said, you can forget about living."
As if to make Lai Mama believe her words, she turned around and asked Madam Mei, "Madam Mei, if the nanny pointed it out just now and led her to find your maid and confess, how would Lai Mama deal with it?"
Madam Mei knew what Wei An meant, and she gritted her teeth while wiping away tears: "Leave it to the government to deal with. It wouldn't be a pity if she died a hundred times!"
Mother Lai was immediately disheartened.
As an old person who has stayed in the Mei family for so many years, she knows Mrs. Mei's character clearly.
Mrs. Mei looks calm and easy to talk to, but she is actually an extremely stubborn person.
She won't change her mind about things she has made up her mind about.
What's more, Mrs. Mei is now thinking about making peace with the grandmother.
In order to give an explanation to the grandmother and the eldest master, Mrs. Mei will definitely punish her severely.
Realizing this, her two hands that were supporting the ground almost lost their strength. She closed her eyes hesitantly and looked towards where the Fairy Princess was standing with despair and horror.
Princess Xianrong was startled and took a step back reflexively.
Linjiang Wangfu's patience had reached its limit, but he still patiently and restrainedly reminded them: "It's getting late. If you delay any longer, I'm afraid the banquet will be over. If the groom doesn't show up from beginning to end, be careful of people talking about him behind your back..."
Princess Jin, who had not figured out the situation until now and now suddenly realized what was happening, remained silent and did not agree with Princess Linjiang.
"It's taking up too much time." Prince Zheng nodded in agreement with Princess Linjiang's opinion, and waved impatiently at the big guard who had pushed Lai Mama in earlier: "Since she won't say anything, drag her out."
Wei An did not hesitate at all, and immediately ordered Lan He: "The maid we caught earlier should have confessed, bring her here. As for Mother Lai..." She chuckled, with complete indifference and indifference: "Have someone watch her, and don't let her commit suicide."
Wei An had made it very clear before. Even if she didn't say it, someone else would.
Wei An had more than one way. She had already said that if she wanted to live, she had to tell her who ordered this... Mother Lai's heart almost jumped out of her chest. She finally collapsed and shouted, "I say... Princess, please forgive me... I say..."
King Zheng raised his hand expressionlessly to stop the big man's actions.
Wei An hummed, and calmly adjusted the pearls on his cuffs: "Then tell me, is the person in this room?"
The old princess breathed a sigh of relief.
She used to worry the most that Wei An would be bullied and oppressed and unable to hold his head up.
But now she realized that perhaps the suffering she endured in her childhood did not destroy Wei An, but made her a more fearless and better Wei An.
This way she would feel relieved.
Changning really feels sorry for Wei An.
She sincerely hoped that Wei An would live a better life.
Judging from Wei An's current appearance, she will obviously be able to handle everything well in the future.
That's good enough.
Mother Lai was shivering violently. It was so cold that cold sweat dripped from her forehead onto the checkered floor tiles without carpet. After a long time, she tremblingly stretched out her finger and pointed at the Fairy-looking County Lady behind Princess Chang'an.
After confirming again and again that Lai Mama was not mistaken and was really pointing at Xianrong County Lady, everyone in the room fell silent.
Princess Linjiang looked at Mother Lai in disbelief, then looked at Princess Chang'an and Princess Xianrong, suspecting that Mother Lai had pointed at the wrong person, and scolded her harshly, "What nonsense are you talking about?!"
Princess Chang'an also sneered and turned to look at King Zheng, as if Lai Mama, who was kneeling on the ground, was an ant that was not worth mentioning: "Do you believe the nonsense of such a person?!"
There are so many imperial edicts in this room, and there are also several princesses from the vassal states.
If this were to get out, Princess Xianrong's reputation would be completely ruined.
This is the most unbearable pain for a noble lady.
Princess Chang'an thought about all the things that had happened to her daughter that had made her angry, and then thought about Wei An's targeting and cold words before, and then thought about why Wei An and King Zheng had deliberately invited all the imperial edicts to this room. The chill in her heart rose little by little, and she looked at Wei An with extreme coldness.
Wei An did not give in at all, and did not even look at Princess Chang'an.
She just chuckled, and in the silence she spoke, clearly and firmly asking Lai's mother: "Have you seen it carefully? Is the identification correct? This is not a trivial matter..."
