Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Madam Wei was the one who made the sachet, but the one who really distributed it was Sister-in-law. It was Sister-in-law who handed the sachet to the Matriarch.”
Madam Chu was in charge of the central feed. She took care of everything in the residence.
She bought empty sacs from outside like in the past and sent them to Madam Wei’s courtyard. After Madam Wei finished making the sachets, she would personally come to get them and distribute them to the courtyard.
“How can it be Sister-in-law? Seventh Sister-in-law, are you mistaken?” Madam Jiang said in a daze.
She definitely did not believe that her sister-in-law, who had worked hard for the Wei family, was a traitor who had colluded with Guo Huan.
Even if she suspected herself, she would not suspect her sister-in-law.
Not to mention the few of them, it took Matriarch Wei a long time to accept this fact.
At first, she complained about why the two children didn’t tell her about the mole in the Wei family earlier. However, even if she knew in advance, Madam Chu was the last one she would suspect.
She was the eldest grandson’s wife who had helped her support half of the Wei family. How could she… How could she…
Old Madam Wei’s heart ached to the extreme, as if she had lost another child.
Madam Wei sighed and closed her eyes.
Madam Jianz turned to look at Madam Chu, her eves turning red.
“Sister-in-law, this isn’t true! Hurry up and tell Seventh Sister-in-law that she made a mistake. You’re not a spy! You didn’t collude with the White Lotus Society! You have nothing to do with Guo Huan! You’re innocent…”
As she spoke, hot tears fell.
After she married into the Wei family, her husband was busy with the military camp and rarely met her. Every time she felt sad, she would look for her sister-in-law.
The eldest sister-in-law was like a mother. In her heart, she had long respected her sister-in-law as her mother.
“How did this happen? Ah.
She couldn’t hold it in any longer and burst into tears.
Madam Lan turned away with tears in her eyes.
She found it unbelievable and felt extremely heartbroken.
Madam Li’s eyes were red. “Grandmother, there’s been a mistake, right? You might as well suspect me… Erlang is a concubine’s son… He wasn’t born in the same womb. Perhaps the second branch has disloyalty…’
How could Old Madam Wei not hope that they had made a mistake?
However, the sachet was indeed given to her by Madam Chu. Madam Chu even emphasized that she had specially asked Mother to put more mosquito repellent spices.
At that time, she did not suspect anything. She only felt that this eldest grandson’s wife was too dutiful and took care of everyone in the residence meticulously.
Although Madam Chen did not cry, she was very sad.
Wei Ting looked at Madam Chu with a complicated expression.
It had been 12 years since Madam Chu married into the Wei family at the age of 16.
When Wei Ting was still a child, she had already begun to take care of him.
Although Madam Jiang said that she had watched Wei Ting grow up, in fact, Madam Chu had really watched Wei Ting grow up.
Wasn’t Madam Chu’s betrayal the collapse of another faith for Wei Ting?
Wei Ting remained silent.
He wanted to ask Madam Chu why, but he choked.
“Sister-in-law, why…” Madam Lan couldn’t hold back her tears anymore and cried sadly.
This was difficult for everyone to accept.
Madam Chu sat there without saying a word and did not defend herself.
She seemed to have finally waited for her end.
Old Madam Wei looked at her bitterly. “Why did you betray the Wei family? When did you join the White Lotus Society? Or did you marry into the Wei family with a motive from the beginning? Say something!”
Madam Chu lowered her eyes and remained silent.
Old Madam Wei’s tears welled up in her eyes. She held them in and shouted,
“Did you steal the Commander’s Seal?”
Madam Jiang asked in a daze, “What Commander’s Seal?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Someone stole Old General Wei’s Commander’s Seal and forged a secret letter that he colluded with Northern Yan. The person used the
Old General’s trusted aide to ‘send’ it to my grandfather, making him think that
Old General Wei had colluded with the enemy to commit treason.”
Madam Jiang said gloomily, “I remember now. Grandmother mentioned to us last time that Grandpa and the old Protector Duke might have been provoked by an evil person and asked us not to make things difficult for you. So the truth is here… But what does Sister-in-law have to do with it? Sister-in-law won’t let the Wei family down.
She looked at Madam Chu and choked. “Sister-in-law, say something. You didn’t steal the Commander’s Seal, right? You didn’t frame Grandpa, right?”
She burst into tears.
Madam Lan also cried.
Madam Li turned around and secretly wiped her tears.
Madam Chen was like a child who could not kill a chicken. She nestled herself in the chair in disappointment and decadence.
Madam Chu remained silent..
