The more Zhu Fang lowered herself to death, the more frightened Old Lady Wei became.
The new generation pushes the old generation forward. Today's young people are very different from those of their time. When she was this age, she was still reckless, acting like a spoiled child at her parents' knees, and doing whatever she wanted by relying on her status as a sister and brother-in-law. But Zhu Fang can easily play with people's lives and futures.
She came to her senses, and without further ado, she threw the cup in her hand on Zhu Fang's head, watching the tea leaves mixed with the water flowing down his forehead. She said in a very cold tone, "This cup is to punish you for your shamelessness." Seeing Zhu Fang lower his head, she sneered again, "How your mother died, only God, the earth, you and I know. You also know very well whether Amin will go back with you. At this point, you still dream that your mother's life can be exchanged for Amin's return. Are you still asleep?"
Zhu Fang hung her head and said nothing. After a long while, she looked at Old Madam Wei with red eyes: "My mother is dead... I know it was wrong of my mother, but old madam, they say that when a person dies, all things are gone. Amin, Yuan Jie'er, and Huan Ge'er..."
The situation had reached a point where there was no way back, but Zhu Fang was still determined to hold on to Wei Yumin. Wei An was in the east room, listening to Zhu Fang's sobbing plea, and he felt horrified.
What exactly does the Zhu family want to do
No matter what the Zhu family wants to do, Old Madam Wei no longer wants to be involved with them. The only connection between the Zhu family and the Wei family is Wei Yumin and Zhu Yuan and Zhu Huan. Now that she has the evidence, as long as she gets them back, the Zhu family will have nothing to do with the Wei family anymore. She interrupted Zhu Fang's endless explanations and said, "Marriage is not enmity. Now that you have already made an enemy of the Wei family, why do you have to stop Amin and refuse to let her go?"
This question was very meaningful. Zhu Fang lowered her head and explained: "One-day husband and wife..."
Old Madam Wei sneered, her patience exhausted: "Forget it, there is no gratitude between you, only hatred. She treated your family wholeheartedly before, but your family still treated her like a snake and scorpion and avoided her. Now your mother's death stands in the way. Ask yourself, can you bear it?"
After a pause, the old lady sat down and continued, "No need to say so much. There is only one way forward for you now. Go back and write a divorce letter, then go to the Ministry of Rites to file it, and the child will stay with us."
She took a sip of tea leisurely: "Let me advise you, you know why the emperor has punished you."
What this means is that it is better to be more informed and interesting.
Zhu Fang clenched his fists. Mrs. Wei's words were ambiguous and slippery, making it difficult for him to figure out what she was thinking.
But no matter what Mrs. Wei was thinking, it was true that the Wei family was not killed in one blow and had become alert. He didn't dare to say anything more. If he continued to insist on not letting Wei Yumin go, Mrs. Wei might become suspicious. This old hag was not as easy to deal with as she seemed.
Then it can only be later...
He collected his thoughts, hiding the murderous intent and coldness in his eyes: "I want to say a few words to Amin..."
Old Madam Wei didn't even agree to this. She sneered and said, "Don't say anything. It has come to this. What else is there to say? Do as I say. Otherwise, if you come, I will have to ask the imperial physician again. Wouldn't that be bad for your reputation?"
This old hag!
No matter how patient Zhu Fang was, he was irritated by Old Lady Wei's ruthless behavior, but he endured it all and said, "Then I'll do it another day..."
Old Madam Wei snorted coldly, "There's no need to wait until another day. I have a steward named Lin here who is very reliable. He will go with you to get the divorce papers. As for Amin's dowry and other items, our two families naturally had a list back then. I will ask the third son to carry them back then. Your family must be busy right now. Your sister-in-law is busy with the funeral and may not be able to take good care of Huan'er and Yuan'er. Bring them back as well."
Seeing that Zhu Fang seemed to have something to say, she coldly reminded him, "Aren't you just trying to get rid of our family? Now that you have achieved your wish, what else are you dissatisfied with?"
Zhu Fang pursed her lips and felt relieved unconsciously.
They really thought that they were plotting against Wei Yumin because they were afraid of being implicated and wanted to avoid being implicated by Old Lady Wei.
In this way, although the matter did not succeed, the Wei family still did not discover anything, which was not too bad.
As for his mother's revenge, someone would have to pay for it in the future. He hummed, as if extremely tired, and slowly moved out of the flower hall step by step.
When Mrs. Wei waited for him to leave, her face darkened.
Wei An came out from the east room, walked gently to old lady Wei and sat down: "Grandma, don't worry. If it's a fox, it will eventually show its tail..."
Old Madam Wei came to her senses and nodded. She asked someone to invite Manager Lin and gave him some instructions. Then she asked Nanny Hua to take Wei An to select people.
Wei An did not choose immediately. She smiled and shook her head at the village head's wife: "At this moment, I don't know everyone's personality, so it's not easy to choose. Please tell everyone, mother, if there is anyone who is willing to have his daughter come in to work and is of the right age, please tell me..."
Nanny Wang didn't understand what Wei An was going to do. After leaving the meeting room and returning to her room, she looked at Wei An and said, "The girls in the old lady's room are so noble. Why are you choosing someone from below? There is nothing good on this farm..."
Wei An smiled and shook his head to reassure her: "The sisters in the old lady's room are all good, but there is one thing, they are all servants of the mansion, and they are too deeply involved in various places... Mammy, I need someone I can rely on, someone who belongs to me completely. Except for the head of the manor, none of these people in the manor have reputation in the mansion..."
Not only that, Nanny Li left overnight and returned the same night, and did not ask for a carriage, which shows that the place she went to must be very close - otherwise how could she get back in time? There were not many people living nearby, and most of them were tenants of the Dingbei Marquis's mansion.
She selected people on the farm, firstly to choose people who could be fully employed by her, and secondly to find out where Li Ma Ma went last night - the farmers were always extra careful about places where there were visitors late at night.
Maybe these people can bring her some unexpected surprises.
When she said this, Nanny Wang understood and nodded, saying, "Young lady, you have considered it very carefully..."
If my daughter is not the princess's biological daughter, then even the old princess cannot be trusted. I have to prepare for a rainy day. First of all, I have to have close and trustworthy maids around me...
