After the hot bowl of medicinal soup was done, Fu Ninghui's cheeks revealed a faint blush, she no longer looked so sickly.
Just as Jing Ying was about to open her mouth to speak, the old gatekeeper suddenly pushed open the door and entered. Behind him was no one else but Nanny Xue, who was serving by Lady Wang's side. Both the master and the servant were stunned. Normally, they would never be this disorderly and would actually barge in without permission. Looking at the expression on the Nanny Xue's face, Fu Ninghui felt a bit more confident in her heart. What was coming, was finally coming.
Nanny Xue forced out a smile and said uncertainly, "My lady's body is not fully recovered yet, so I shouldn't have called you over. However, the eldest wife of the Xu family asked for you by name. She said that there was a snakehead incident a few days ago, and she even asked you for some details to personally testify … "Miss, you see, this matter involved the Xu family after all. It is not convenient for Madam to deny it. I also know that you are feeling wronged. This …"
Fu Ninghui saw that she couldn't even speak properly so she smiled and said, "Xue mama, don't make it difficult for me. I'm not so sick that I can't even walk a few steps. Since the eldest wife of the Xu family had invited him, there was no reason for him to be arrogant as a junior. Senior Servant Xu gave me a moment to change into some guest clothes. "
The Nanny Xue's face relaxed as she complained, "I wonder what has captivated Madam to listen to what Doctor Xu has to say. Even you can't rest in peace from your illness."
Fu Ninghui only chuckled, and did not say a word. Jing Xin and Jing Ying helped her change her clothes and put on her makeup. It only took him half an hour to get dressed up.
Nanny Xue sat in the outer room and had finished drinking the tea. When she suddenly saw Fu Ninghui and her servants come out, he was shocked as well, and said, "Miss, there's no need to rush. She won't be here for a while."
Fu Ninghui coughed, she used a handkerchief to cover her mouth, and said indifferently: "It's fine, this mama will lead the way, right or wrong, we will know once we go."
Nanny Xue let out a long sigh in her heart. What a sin, to think that such a fine young lady would do such a thing.
Everyone walked around the garden and soon arrived at Lady Wang's house.
Fu Ninghui followed the Nanny Xue, but upon seeing that the Lady Helan had taken over the guest seat, a pair of beautiful eyes shone like autumn water, looking at her with a smile. If not for the fact that she knew exactly what she came for, Fu Ninghui would have been fooled by the friendly face of the Lady Helan.
Mrs Wang's heart was filled with both pity and anger, and it was inevitable that she had the heart of a loving mother. Looking at Fu Ninghui's green face, she felt her heart soften, and called out: "Good child, are you feeling better today? Your brother, your sister, your brother, your sister-in-law still hasn't arrived.
Fu Ninghui nodded, and obediently picked up her lower seat. Lady Wang wanted to say something, but hesitated. She looked at her daughter, then looked at Lady Helan who lowered her head and blew the tea leaves away. In the end, she endured it and didn't say anything.
Lady Wang had indeed seriously interrogated the few wives in Fu Heng's courtyard. The body contract were all in Lady Wang's hands, so those few married women, who had been bought by Fu Ninghui, didn't dare to not tell the truth. Besides, the wives weren't stupid. Now that they were their own mothers asking for their daughters, there was no reason for them to make things difficult for their daughters for their daughter-in-law. If he told them the truth, née Wang might want to keep it a secret. Therefore, before they had even received a few rounds of beatings, they had already explained in detail how Jing Ying had told them, when she opened the gate, and how she had helped them.
When Lady Wang heard this, she was simply trembling with fear. She had never imagined that her seemingly safest and oldest daughter would do something like this. If this accusation was spread out, not to mention the fact that Fu Ninghui's wife was hard to find, even the entire Fu Clan's reputation would be tarnished. How would the younger generation of the Fu Family propose for marriage?
But even if she wanted to hide it, how could the people of the Xu family be willing to swallow this grievance? If not for the fact that she had been shocked to the point that she had talked to her parents and caused Lady Helan to come forward to denounce her, she would not have had such a matter as she did today. Since she was marrying into the Fu family, she should act like a wife of the Fu family. She had her own opinions on matters of the family. There was no need to drag her family in. Was there still any place in her eyes for her as the head of the household?
The Obscure Lady Helan held evidence of Heng Ge'er's chaotic nature during the period of her national mourning. If this were to spread, Heng Ge'er's future prospects would be ruined. Lady Wang was not afraid at all, Heng Ge'er was her son, but she was also Lady Helan's son-in-law, the husband of her precious daughter. After ruining Heng Ge'er's future, how much better could Xu Mingwei's days be?
The Lady Helan sneered, and dispelled all of Lady Wang's plans with a single sentence, "Don't even mention that the two of them haven't made up their minds yet, even if they really become your family's people, with the husband's personal morals at stake, Wei`er will still have the choice to invite him out. No one could say anything bad about her. The world had to sympathize with her and trust her. Think about it carefully, Heng Ge'er has tarnished her reputation, and also lost her future prospects, which family's good daughter is willing to marry him? My Xu family's daughter, on the other hand, is not worried about marrying. To put it bluntly, if you leave your house on the first day, you will be trampled flat by the ones who ask to marry you on the second day. "If you don't believe me, you can give it a try!"
Wang Shi naturally didn't dare to.
These few days, even her teeth had been itching from hatred towards Xu Mingwei, as he couldn't afford to offend her. The only thing she wanted to do was to take her as a Buddha. Looking at her useless son, when he heard that something had happened to his wife, she did not even bother going to Mr. Daqian anymore. All she did was spend time at home with his wife. How could she still have the will to study?
At this moment, Lady Wang's heart was filled with hatred, so Fu Heng and Xu Mingwei joined hands, their faces all smiles. The greetings also did not come truthfully. At times, they would pucker their eyebrows and at other times, they would make faces. Lady Wang saw all of them and became more and more agitated.
"Mother, why did you come today?" Fu Heng was not reminded by his wife, when he saw Lady Helan sitting beside him, he was shocked.
When Lady Wang heard this, she frowned. As expected, after getting a wife, she forgot her own mother in the blink of an eye. She was still sitting up there, this heartless brat calling out to her in such a intimate manner!
Lady Helan laughed and looked at Wang Shi, then turned and spoke to Fu Heng and Xu Mingwei, "Didn't your mother already investigate the whole situation and specifically tell me, your mother, to come over to listen in on the formalities?"
After explaining the situation to the two juniors, the Lady Helan thanked Lady Wang gently, "This was originally an internal matter of your family. If not for the warm invitation from your relatives, it would be embarrassing to sit here today."
Lady Wang was a mute, unable to voice her bitterness. He could only force out a smile, and replied dryly, "Wei'er just came to my house, and she already had such an accident. As a mother-in-law, I am truly embarrassed." Motherf * cker, I am already the Amitabha. "
Lady Helan spoke a few more polite words with her, then looked at the crowd and said, "Since everyone is already present, my mother does not need to worry about me, just go ahead and do as you please."
Mrs Wang had no other choice but to nod her head and instruct the Nanny Xue, "Bring the people here."
In a short time, two people came up, one of them taller, because her head was down and she couldn't be seen clearly, and it seemed to her that she was very thin and shriveled, and that the silky green dress she wore was very empty, as if she had stolen someone else's clothes, and that it was very funny; the other, a little fatter, was dressed as a maidservant, and her round eyes were filled with fear, as if she were about to burst from fear if someone else were to shout at her.
Xu Mingwei vaguely sensed that the tall one looked familiar, and before she could think of who it was, the person suddenly raised his head and looked at her fiercely, then looked at Lady Helan at the side. Her expression suddenly went crazy, and she cried and shouted at Lady Helan. If it weren't for the fact that the Nanny Xue and the rest were quick and managed to hold her down, that attack almost made her charge into the Lady Helan.
A hidden sense of pride welled up from within Lady Wang's heart, and she turned around, wanting to see Lady Helan make a fool of himself out of fright. But, she was disappointed. Lady Helan still sat steadily and there was a faint smile on his face, who knew what he was smiling about.
Lady Wang only knew that the two people kneeling below were bought by her own daughter from a filthy place. They were the ones who were responsible for messing with the snake, but she didn't know that there was an article here as well. The person in the lead seemed to be related to the Xu family. She suddenly understood a bit. Her silly daughter, who she had taught, had been secretly set up by these lowly bastards.
He couldn't help but be a little angered. What a b * tch, he would usually borrow a knife to kill someone, but he still didn't know what kind of status he had! Mrs Wang coldly shouted, "What is it!?" Open your dog eyes and see what kind of place this is! "Xue mama, give me a slap on the face first. Be honest and then ask."
Nanny Xue also hated that man's frivolous attitude. She did not have much meat on him, who was she trying to scare? Listening to Lady Wang's instructions, Ye Zichen swung his hand at that person and slapped him a few times, causing that person to turn her head away, unable to react in time.
Seeing that the fire was reaching its peak, Nanny Xue spat at her before retreating to the side.
Xu Mingwei had already realised her identity. With that sinister gaze, other than Xu Tiandi, there was no one else. She turned back to look at Lady Helan, who shook his head at her, causing Xu Mingwei to suppress her curiosity and only see how the situation had changed.
"Who is kneeling down there? What did he do with May 16th? Tell me honestly. However, there are those who have lied and say that they always leave us in the lurch. " Lady Wang glared at the two and asked sternly.
The short and fat one was completely terrified. Just as he saw his companion bleed from Nanny Xue's punches, he trembled even more. Without waiting for Nanny Xue to scare him again, he told him everything that had happened.
