Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The couple approached Madame Yuezheng, seeking a fair resolution to their predicament.
Upon hearing their plea, Madame Yuezheng was taken aback and nearly fainted. She couldn’t believe what she had just witnessed. Overwhelmed with disappointment, she directed her anger towards Ms. Mi, questioning her abilities as a mother. She expressed concerns about Yuezheng Tings future and expressed her disappointment in their actions.
Ms. Mi Junior, feeling deeply wounded, covered her face and wept. “Madame Yuezheng, I am to blame. But please, I beg you to take care of Ting and ensure justice for her!”
Madame Yuezhengs expression grew stern. She ordered, “Bring First Madame here.’
While Ms. Mi Junior and her daughter might have been mistaken in their accusations, First Madame should not have taken actions to harm them. She was determined not to let that slide.
As Madame Yuezheng spoke, she started to grasp the situation unfolding before her. She remained calm even as Ms. Mi Junior glared at her and continued to accuse her.
With a dark tone, Madame Yuezheng replied, “Elder Son’s wife, your accusations have gone too far. We are all part of the same family. By attempting to set me up, you tarnish our family’s reputation. You are mistaken!”
First Madame responded quietly, “Madame Yuezheng, do you have any evidence to support your claim? Accusing me without any grounds is highly improper, isn’t it?”
Ms. Mi Junior snapped, “It’s evident! You’re seeking revenge on me! If you have a problem with me, come directly to me. Why involve Ting in your schemes?”
“You certainly have a high opinion of yourself!” First Madame sneered. She had always been irritated by Ms. Mi Junior’s habit of complaining about her in front of Madame Yuezheng. With a hushed tone, she continued, “If I ever wished to take revenge on you, I have countless methods at my disposal. And rest a.s.sured, 1 would ensure that you never discover it was me!”
As far as First Madame was concerned, her granddaughter was still too young to be concerned about her reputation. Moreover, the first and second sections of the family were distinct ent.i.ties.
“Madame Yuezheng, as you have stated, we are all part of the Yuezheng Family. While I may not have a daughter, my sons may have daughters in the future. There is no benefit for me in engaging in such actions. Second Sister-in-law, you a.s.sume I am responsible for all this, but do not make baseless a.s.sumptions. Show me the evidence. Otherwise, if you dare accuse me of something I have not done, I will slap you in the face.”
“You… you dare speak so boldly because you know I have no evidence!”
Ms. Mi Junior trembled with anger.
First Madame regarded her as if she were staring at a fool. “So, in the end, you have no evidence, yet you dare spout nonsense and accuse me in front of
Madame Yuezheng so audaciously?”
Ms. Mi Junior. ‘
Madame Yuezheng felt a deep annoyance, secretly calling Ms. Mi Junior a foolish woman. It seemed that Ms. Mi Junior had easily managed to irritate her, and she imagined that her Elder Son’s wife was likely mocking her inwardly.
Feeling embarra.s.sed, Madame Yuezheng furrowed her brow in anger.
This was precisely why she had never held a fondness for First Madame. Her daughter-in-law was excessively intimidating and imposing, showing no regard for the feelings of the elders or attempting to ingratiate herself with them.
She could never warm up to a person like that.
Before they could inquire further, First Madame calmly began to explain. Many people had witnessed the incident, and Yuezheng Ting had openly revealed everything. Therefore, concealing the incident was impossible. The fact that the news did not spread until several days later was already a stroke of luck.
The Yuezheng Family was renowned in the province, and any scandal involving a member of the family naturally attracted significant attention. Hence, people reveled in discussing the matter.
As for Elder Miss Qiao? No one even knew who she was, so there was barely any gossip surrounding her..
